I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but just to be sure, these are the songs being covered:
there’s still the huge question of who’s going to do most of the posting, eventually?
Yeah, that's the tough one. I saw your post, and I think it's a great idea to ask for volunteers and suggesting that they post.
Disinformation has been an active area of research since the Cold War. Yes it is effective, though obviously there are limits. Maybe you can convince people that a celebrity did something even though it's not true, but you can't really convince a particular invididual that they themselves have a different name and history. Here's a good survey of the state of the art circa 2022 (skip to "Findings of qualitative analysis" to see summaries of studies): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10446021/
One time I was travelling through Latin America and we stopped somewhere at a food place by the road. They said: see that huge rock in the field there? One time many years ago there was a circus in town, and everybody in the town went, and it was in that field. But then there was an earthquake, and a mudslide started, and it was wiping everything out. But a clown managed to get a bunch of kids to safety and they huddled on that rock while the mud wiped out everything around them, killing everyone else in the town.
Maybe it was all BS but it was a pretty vivid image. (edit: OMFG I remembered it mostly right.)
Paperwork wins empires,
Ooh! I just thought of something:
You're getting downvoted, but eBay enshittified pretty early, around 2003 iirc.
I think a better summary would be: Chile told Bolivia after Bolivia tried to screw it over on an international treaty, and Bolivia dragged Peru into it. It's an interesting history from many perspectives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Pacific
On the bright side, they save a lot of money on their Coast Guard.
Facts, duh.
"Darling he meant nothing to me! He was just a one-hit wonder!"
The way they sneaked up on us was: during the pandemic, I started tipping a dollar or two for take-out because "we're all in this together" and "these are extraordinary times." Then those Clover bastards came through and turned that dollar or two into a baseline 15%.
This movie needs no introduction, so I'm just going to put this here:
Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 American epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by Milius and Oliver Stone. Based on Robert E. Howard's Conan, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones, and tells the story of a barbarian warrior named Conan (Schwarzenegger) who seeks vengeance for the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom (Jones), the leader of a snake cult.

Hey, I had to help a relative with something similar last year. Basically, you want to look up local places that sell suits, and ask them how much custom tailoring they do. Many places will only do simple alterations like adjusting the hems to your specific arm or leg lengths. But some places can take a complete set of your measurements and have a custom suit made for you. Just tell them your needs and ask if they can help you. (In our case we were only looking for business suits, but I saw at least one place that did this for business casual too.)
You might be tempted to try to take your own measurements and get something made online by yourself, but in our case we found it hard to know if we were doing the measurements correctly, which is why I suggest finding a place to do them in person.
