I thought you left this place. Why do you keep coming back to a place you hate?

Good to see you too, my favorite (or at least most dedicated) stalker/secret sweetheart. But as usual, your literacy is as poor as your ability to stay away from me. You know, along with the ableism, racism, fascist apologia, and general horrific bigotry you regularly regurgitate whenever you find me.

    So is what PugJesus was/is doing to various other users. I gave him a taste of his own medicine.

    How utterly bizarre, considering that even at the time you admitted you barely knew me and had rarely read my posts, interacted with me, or had prior problems with me. Or that I've never been unhinged enough to record several minutes of audio in a desperate plea for validation. You threw a shitfit because you were called out for hypocrisy.

    I still haven't listened to the recording because I have better things to do with my time, lmao.

    Also, love that bigotry to you is calling someone a cunt for defending fucking Stalin murdering millions of people.

    Bootlick more.

    I think pug’s departure was mostly a rage-quit, rather than actual mistreatment. But as a history fan i found almost all their posts annoying so i admit that might skew my view.

    Still not sure what exactly your problem was with my history posts, but I'd agree that me winding down activity had more in common with a rage-quit - it was fundamentally frustration in my personal experience using Piefed which led me to fuck off.

    I didn't feel particularly 'targeted' or like Rimu was being unfair on some personal level. It wasn't 'mistreatment', I agree with you. It was just my experience becoming more frustrating than entertaining. So off I went.

    Pug could’ve just kept posting and trusted in the appeal of their content. They didn’t need the ability to upvote more than 240 times a day to keep posting.

    The appeal of my content wasn't in question, though. Like I said, it was a difference in my user experience becoming shittier, not in 'losing' fans or engagement, though I suspected the policy change would also cause long-term difficulties in retention of users.

    I can get along fine with just about anyone, dog, human, etc so long as they’re not demanding I share their exact perspective on every country in the world and denouncing me as a fascist otherwise.

    Cute way of describing Uyghur genocide denial.

    I’m sure he’s screaming at us from his tower, feeling smug about how he’s always right.

    How utterly bizarre.

    Like, the only question of correctness in this entire argument is regarding my supposed transphobia, which you've had zero evidence of.

    It’s the queers and brown people who are wrong to the cishet white man who doesn’t go outside.

    Uh. Sorry for not matching the stereotype you made up in your head?

    Also sorry for being disabled, I know ableism is one of your favorite pastimes. On top of the racism, of course.

    It’s very impressive how he can be so sure of himself yet not let facts contractict himself.

    It's funny because at no point have you presented anything even vaguely resembling facts, just accusations that you can't back up.

    He’s not a transphobe, the trans people are wrong!

    ... by all means, quote my supposed transphobia.

    Ah, wait, of course - you can't, because this is all bullshit predicated on the standard notion that lies spread by repetition.

    And Pug is still stalking this thread and replying exclusively to you and me so Ada and other Admins can’t see him.

    what

    Ada has me blocked, as I mentioned and you literally acknowledged. And, quite literally, I responded to several other people in this thread.

    Real MAGA shit here, just a total disregard for what was said a single sentence ago.

    My most pathetic fanboy here is really something else.

    And still can’t,

    Go ahead, sweetheart, find a comment where I refuse to use someone's preferred pronouns. You should be able to back up what you say with evidence, after all, like I did - at least if this isn't some bizarrely delusional obsession with me. :)

    If your head wasn't cramped with genocide apologia, it'd be a nice rent-free alternative to my current place.

    and still insists Ada is evil for blocking him. Very pathetic behavior.

    From "I can't believe he won't even correct the record where Ada can see!" to "Wow I sure am glad Ada made sure she can't see him correct the record!"

    Fascists like you do enjoy playing with words, after all. :)

    Admiral Patrick and PugJeuss are the smae person effectively. Both hate actions being called out.

    Sorry for providing evidence of your bullshit, lmao. I know you hate evidence.

    By the way, SmugJesus replied to St Elesewere and said Ada is lying about him. He knows you and Ada can’t rebuke him, so he replies only to people who can’t read his messages to prove him wrong.

    I have literally spoken directly to Ada several times on the issue, and her response was to block me. Sorry that not everyone is a coward like you. :)

    Hey Pug, I thought you were leaving this place? Can’t quite let someone you hate get away with being correct?

    Sorry for coming back to check on a ping, I know my constant posting is unchanged from my previous usage.

    I'm also sorry that you're assmad over being called out, with evidence, on your utter bullshit. :)

    And shit, you talk about me constantly. I'm your number one obsession. If I insisted on responding every time you said stupid bullshit about me, I'd have twice the comment count I actually do, lmao.

    Sorry that your obsession isn't mutual, sweetheart.

    Sorry I call out your actions, are you sure you’re not the teseract dev? You hate when people document your actions and crash out when people do.

    It's particularly amusing since I actually backed up my claim with evidence, while your claim of "stalking" amounts to a handful of downvotes over the course of a single day.

    It's most likely from 1984 because it's an episode mostly about the Olympics. Donkey Kong debuted in 1982 and that would probably have been too early to feature it on the show in time and 1986 would have been a little late for Donkey Kong.

    That said, 1982 is definitely a possibility. Or even a different year if they decided to do an Olympics episode in an off-year. Unfortunately, the website regarding the episode doesn't say.

    Edit: Thanks to rrconkle@lemmy.zip for getting the year right!

    A painted ceramic vessel in the Codex Style. It depicts a wayob', the companion spirit of a Mayan ruler. This one is a toad which is wearing a jade bead necklace (there are two different animals, not visible, located around the back of the cup). There is also writing in Mayan glyphs, some of which declare the vessels purpose: drinking cacao.

    The painter is also known by style from other pieces of work, and in the absence of an actual name is referred to as "The Metropolitan Master". You can see the original image and some other details here.

    Matchlock muskets were first introduced into Tibet during the 16th or 17th century, probably via China and India...

    ...matchlocks continued to be used regularly well into the 20th century...

    ...The third broad category of Tibetan firearms, to which this example belongs, comprises muskets with varying degrees of decoration, but fully functional and intended for secular use.

    Decorated muskets of this type were carried by individuals taking part in festivals, on ceremonial occasions, or by the guards of persons of rank...

    Flintlock hand mortars were use for signaling, launching fireworks, and hurling grenades.

    They would be operated by two men. One who would insert a lit grenade then duck. The first man ducking would signal to the second man, the shooter, the mortar was ready to fire.

    In the event of the mortar not firing when a lit grenade was inserted the operator would throw the device and reel it in by an attached strap.

    This Sharps rifle bears no maker’s mark; it was made especially for John Brown. Brown carried this weapon on his Kansas campaign in 1856 and later presented it to Charles Blair of Collinsville, Connecticut. In 1857, Brown contracted Blair to forge pikes for the clandestine slave insurrection he was planning for Harpers Ferry.
