  • I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral, I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

    I’m very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral.

    I know our mythic history, King Arthur’s and Sir Caradoc’s; I answer hard acrostics, I’ve a pretty taste for paradox, I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus, In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous; I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies, I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes! Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the music’s din afore, And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

    Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform, And tell you ev’ry detail of Caractacus’s uniform: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral.

    In fact, when I know what is meant by “mamelon” and “ravelin”, When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin, When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at, And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”, When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery, When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery – In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy – You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

    For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury, Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century; But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral!







  • I like black licorice. Well, the real stuff anyways. That synthetic flavor is terrible. The meme made me look up the real FDA warning lol

    Eating large amounts of black licorice, particularly for those over 40, can pose health risks. Specifically, eating two ounces or more daily for at least two weeks can lead to serious health problems, including irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia), high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure. This is due to the presence of glycyrrhizin, a compound in licorice root, which can cause potassium levels in the body to drop.

    So, the problem is for specific persons with already low potassium and high sodium in their systems, especially those people over 40, by eating at least 2 ounces of black licorice every day for at least two weeks

    I like black licorice, but there’s no way I would eat it daily for at least two weeks. It’s just an occasional palate cleanser kind of thing.



  • The algorithm seems to weigh heavily on a user’s history, what they have watched and what they have searched for in addition to what they also want you to see

    They like to mix it in there so it’s less sus

    As soon as I turned off all personalized ads, wiped and paused history as well as search history, the gloves came off

    I immediately started getting spammed with Turning Point USA and PragerU ads without ever searching for anything like it

    I haven’t seen any ads that are center or left of center and beyond since doing so

    I have even tried searching for left leaning content directly in Google search while signed in with the same account

    The search delivers the results of the search but nothing is carried over by the algorithm in YouTube like it had previously

    Just more extreme right content.

    Google has essentially become anothrr Sinclair Media Group, a conduit for right wing propaganda
