It’s very narrow-scope to frame this conflict as just about one attack at a music concert, and furthermore to think that a decades-long invasion, colonization and blockade shouldn’t be compared to other acts of colonialism.

I used to run a wonderful BNL Geocities page back in the 90s. I was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about it, which is the most random moment of my life.
Yeah it was so random. I remember the journalist leaving me a message on my parents’ answering machine and was so shocked. It amounted to just a sentence or two but it was still wild.
They have used “BNL” officially. I recall they had an Enhanced CD (maybe Rock Spectacle) with a video that began “This is BNL TV”, but I can’t find a copy on the internet.
The real version is the first guy says he won’t bake a cake for a gay couple, which is shitty, but his right. Then the second guy comes along and says he wants to kill the first guy because nazis also wouldn’t bake cakes for gay people, so the first guy must also be a nazi, and nazis all deserve to die, so this guy does too.
Then a rational person comes along and points out that both of them are being shitty and everyone loses their goddamned mind over it.
I dunno about you, my dude, but the only people I’ve seen fucked up by antifascists were not saying that they didn’t want to bake a gay cake.
But I’ve seen the people who didn’t want to bake a gay cake be called pieces of shit who should do better. And I think that’s just called social consequences.
If you want to know what the moon blowing up would be like, give Seveneves by Neal Stephenson a read. It’s the last book that got me to stay up all night reading. First two thirds are a solid 9/10.
Because the cities are named by European immigrants naming places after their home towns. It not very original but I guess its better than naming it after yourself
Yeah there was this news story a long time ago of 2 girls that were stuck on an elevator in Lisbon (Portugal). Apparently they looked up some number on their phones for Lisbon but since they were from the US it suggested some random city named Lisbon there. They spent a lot of time trying to explain where the elevator was located until they realised it wasn’t the same Lisbon.
(I think it’s a true story. Might just be an urban legend from Lisbon I guess 🤷♂️)
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised. I grew up in Geneva, but I lived in Oviedo when I was in high school.
I’ve lived in central Florida my entire life.
When I was starting at a new job I mentioned that I grew up in Geneva. The person I was chatting with were curious and asked what it was like growing up in Europe. I responded that if I was raised in Europe I’d never live in Florida. Geneva, FL is a fucking armpit.
