Spite packages.
You decide to annoy someone overseas wherein taxes would be involved on packages sent. Mail a box filled with bricks valued at £5000 and see what happens.
- You wouldn't be able to send a large package like that without any form of pre-pay as it'd have to either be dropped off somewhere or picked up.microkorg
- and the postal/courier company would need to scan shit or need you to pay to stick shit on it.microkorg
- Would be better and more anonymous sending via postboxes. Send lots of letters (via different postboxes) with either sheets of lead/metal or chunks of slate.microkorg
- and dont put stamps on. receiver has to pay to receive them.microkorg
- I just yesterday sent a package with self-declared customs slips which are read by the receiving tax agency in a foreign country. All I paid was postage.Nairn
- I mean, I suppose the obvious thing is the recipient could simply refuse delivery. Better to do a few small ones, as you suggest.Nairn

The most important thing in life is to be able to hold in mind at least two opposing thoughts, never mind your own persuasion.

Why are there no positive diseases?

If Smashing Pumpkins 1979 came out today it would be called 2004.

If Bryan Adams released Summer of ‘69 at the same time as Smashing Pumpkins’ 1979... it would actually be set one year later

To catch the emergence of the internet as a mass medium and even be part of 2000s web design boom as a young kid, too see AI development unfold -- this is the best time to be alive, within a 1000 years perimeter backward and forward in time (maybe not in terms of life quality, but it is the most interesting time period)
I probably won't be able to visit other planets/experience space tourism, but the 20th and 21th centuries are the turning point in human history, enjoy every moment of it
- I feel like our grandparents had a pretty good run. They started with horses, got electrified in the home, witnessed the birth of the transistor, the bomb...monNom
- That's what I thought too. Maybe in a 100 years this planet won't even be hospitable anymore. For now we're living in prosper times.NBQ00
- now they can see and talk to their great grand children halfway around the world through a sheet of glass that they stick in their pocket.monNom

The tragedy of human existance is that we're aware of our existance.
- Do you mean this in a solipsistic way, or that we're aware that our existence is temporary?garbage

The youtube algorithm has gotten really bad. If I watch anything out of the norm, be it a video posted on qbn or elsewhere - it doesn't matter if i close the video 5 seconds in..
Youtube feed: "Boy, do we have some videos you're gonna like!!!111"

I was lying awake this morning at about 6am wondering how the fuck atoms continue spinning around their wee statistical clouds 13.8Bn years after their creation and it put a knot in my stomach.
- is it gravity? like micro orbits? fuck let me join you in stomach knot-ville.mantrakid
- Some sorta base mathematical repulsion, i figured, but that doesn't really answer anything.Nairn
- Newton's First Law?Krassy
- an A.I will come up with the proper answers in 5,4,3,2 ...neverscared
- Simulation_Recursion... 0 (0x0)
See all error codes.BabySnakes - https://news.cornell…neverscared
- the electrons change, the protons and neutrons are bonded by strong nuclear force, which is practically unbreakablesarahfailin
- Atomic Forces which are uniquecannonball1978
- I 'know' the technicalities of it, but frankly, it doesn't make any kind of sense.
How the fuck does shit keep going?Nairn - I am - you are - made up of a ridiculous quantity of spinning orbits, that for the very much most part have been doing their thing for billions of years.Nairn
- Obv, we all have at least a little of the radioactive fallout etc, from tens of decades of testing and fuck ups, but pretty much everything else is new.Nairn
- IS OLD. Not new.
fuck.Nairn - I'm just waiting for an errant brane to intersect with our universe at c³ and nix time or some other fundamental, so we instantly cease to exist. Good times.Nairn
