Makes me think of kids raised in cold homes where there isn't much talking. Of course, they won't speak when they feel like nothing they say matters. Especially when they enter into an even more frigid adulthood.

This is why I seed false mailing addresses to a lot of online stores. In fact, I do it to google constantly.

:3 No one knows where the fuck I am but the IRS, and even they needed to call twice to make sure I live at my address.

Hell I've PAID for my data to see if they knew anything relevant about me. And they don't. Nothing of interest. Basically "He likes video games and researching stuff" Past that it was either irrelevant information, or me being fucking 40. Which can from several alt accounts I made years back.

Honestly the maps surprises me.

I'd think the rail gauges for China and Russia would be the same given how they've been increasing trade between the country for a while now. I think there was even a major railway completed not too long ago from Machuria to Russia.

I'd be willing to bet it's because they learned about how popular baseball was in America and had to swap up what they were doing.

Sorta like how they had to completely change their language because it sounded too French. Yea, modern English is further from the OG English than American English. Which is wild considering how much we've bastardized it.

There are a LOT of websites blocked in the US. Doing a deepdive after finding some illegal content lead me down some shady fking places, but there are hundreds upon hundreds of websites buried in the world wide web.

Weird niche fked up forums, sales groups, services all that jazz. Not dark web, not deep web, none of that. Ne'er an onion in site.

It's wild. And the thing is that a lot of these websites are almost nomadic. Everytime one gets brought down, it pops up somewhere else, same content archived.

And thus the phrase:

"There's more than one way to skin a cat"

because early settlers thought things like raccoons were cats.

Our ancestors were not nearly as clever as we give them credit when it came to classification of organisms. Especially given how long beavers and capibara were considered fish.

Just imagine how much of ancient history is just blatant hearsay and other BS.

We've only the most vague idea wtf happened before a certain period in history. Even then, after writing became more common, we are still partially in the dark because of bias. Unbiased accounts of historical events are still a relatively new, and rare thing.

<.< Half of our understanding of human history could be lies and no one would be any the wiser.
