Did you not see images of it before it fell? Was it one of these? it was nearby at least.

9/11 was sort of an inside job by the architects. Built during the height of the cold war, every mega construction project would have had to address what would happen if attacked. There had been a number of massive skyscraper fires already and even much smaller buildings had no way to effectively douse the flames. Imagine a massive raging inferno towering above a dense population centre for weeks or months or who knows how long. It would have been an even worse outcome. The health and mental health effects would have been incredibly devastating. A decision had to be made. A structural, engineered weakness to very hot flames was built in to make the towers implode on themselves, snuffing out the flames.
It would have been a tough call to make. Like the trolly problem, do you engineer it to save the occupants? Or the potential health of the rest of the city?
It makes sense to me to keep quiet about it after the fact. The architects did what they had to do and some people would not agree with their decision. Therefore due to ‘national security’ or whatever it’s best to just keep quiet. I’ve held on to this theory for a while but I think it’s been long enough to discuss it.
Nah, it’s too much like how a lobotomy works. Even taking a small chunk of your brain might have huge impacts.
You wouldn’t happen to sleep on your back, would you? I used to get that often until one year it got really bad when I was sleeping on a couch on my back. I moved to the bed after putting 2 and 2 together. Haven’t had one since.
I loved the Nostromo’s computers in Aliens. Vintage future.
YOU COULD JUST LEAVE??? WE HAD TWO RENT IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW TO BEAT THAT TUTORIAL!!
They’re all mediums. The content on them can be anything from mindless to informative.It’s all up to who’s curating it. Do you leave it up to the algos and advertisers or actually provide something to your kids? Up to a certain age letting them do whatever on the internet is idiotic like letting them run around a bookshop that carries porn and mein Kampf.
Also works with “crematorium”
Think that points to it being Chinese propaganda. Russians don’t bring up the Huawei thing, they don’t understand it enough.
Give it a few years and the term “computer” might be superseded. We’ll forget where the word originated.
My clumsyness would destroy a high tech watch. My phone is relatively safe in my pocket. Won’t be switching over to that.
They didn’t exist before the 2016 election. They were mostly astroturf. The original Donald sub was entirely bashing him and intentionally killed off.
“We told it to shoot bad guys. Why is it shooting at us?”
His nickname. Not sure what it means though
VLC. Plays literally everything. Will try and play things that aren’t even media files. Sometimes succeeds.
It’s mostly from polyester and cotton/poly blends. They dredged the ocean floor and looked at the microplastics it dug up. Sourced it from clothing mostly.
Power Trip. I don’t even know what happened to the guy but I’ll respect the family’s privacy.
If it’s a meme or shitpost there isn’t anything to talk about
Ah, there it is. Yeah, what a mystery.![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/WTC_Area_With_Building_Numbers_50dpi_contrast.jpg/1280px-WTC_Area_With_Building_Numbers_50dpi_contrast.jpg)
