I realise the title is quite odd and rather specific so I’ll explain. I was looking through my search history on YouTube and I have ‘matn postman’ ‘Many A True Nerd postman’ and ‘Many a True Nerd post man’ in my search history. I clicked that going ‘huh I wonder what video I was trying to find’ and I found nothing.

Help

I’m going insane

Why would there be a video game about a postman

Why would I look for it

Why would Jon play it

I am so confused

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

I met it… him… the husband, two years ago. I don't want to get sidetracked by the story of how I became (as the English call it) a mail-order bride. That story is harrowing and depressing enough in itself. The War left a lot of orphans on both sides of the new border. Many have similar stories to mine. I don't want to waste however long I've got by sharing experiences that differ little from any other girl whose childhood died in The War.

So many of us ended up press-ganged by hungry communities into going in the Russian men's vans. So many ended up here, or America, or Saudi Arabia, to share beds with disgusting men so families back home could keep coal in the furnace one more winter. A tale retold a thousand times over by every woman that's lived it.

Their stories have nothing mine does not. Where my story differs is the ending. None of those other daughters of The War ended up with someone like the husband. This I guarantee.

It called itself Mr. Danforth. The first thing it said to me when I arrived at Heathrow was "you are called Mrs. Danforth." It wasn't a question. It was a command. Despite what you're thinking, this didn't raise suspicion. I'd had very few conversations with men that didn't start with them barking orders. My first thoughts of the husband were that he would be a man like all those except Father. All I was thinking as he walked me to his SUV was "and so I go from the hands of one pig into the hands of another."

How wrong I was.

I didn't properly inspect the husband until I was in the back seat. I hadn't looked at him much in the airport. I'd kept my head down, staring at the floor, because that's what the Russian men told me to do. It took a few hours to reach the house. Plenty of time for me to stare at the husband in the rear-view mirror, to get a proper look at the man whose bed I'd been sold into. That was when alarm bells started ringing.

As the SUV trundled down increasingly less maintained roads, my mind was running through possible explanations for my new husband's face. It was rigid, stiff. None of the muscles of his wide brow or angular jaw twitched, clenched, or moved. At all. For three whole hours. His skin was off, too. Not literally, but something about it troubled me for reasons I couldn't place. I think it was the tone. The hues of his face were too uniform, too smooth. Almost the exact same shade of grey almost-peach all over. There was no ruddiness to his cheeks, no darkness under his eyes. For

Recently I've been reading posts in this sub, like a recent top-runner about tracking and big-tech being like a postman that reads your mail, and how this needs certain protection legislation and so on; and I think that is kind of misleading.

Let's jump straight to the core of the issue shall we? The root, origin and cause of all this mess, was the start of "tracking interests to serve you more relevant ads" - so mainly ad targeting. Obviously nowadays the market these companies dwell in has grown considerably, selling the collected information not just for ad purposes but for basically everyone and everything, so long as the price is right.

This specific issue doesn't need "privacy protection" laws. It needs outright bans on collecting information in the first place. Let's be honest; most people are creeped out by the fact that ads show them what they looked up on another device, or what they talked about to their mate about the other night. The vast majority doesn't want targeted ads in the first place, specially if you even remotely point out how they work. And no "consumer" actually NEEDS targeted ads, "content recommendations" and the like, that's complete bullshit. The only one "needing" targeted ads and data collection, is those making big bucks off of it.

What we need in this regard is activism on the scale of climate change activism, because this issue is just as bad. It erodes democracies, influences behaviour and mental health globally, and allows external entities to push entire populations into the direction they want through means of propaganda, censorship and manipulation of the data you can access.

The only remedy to this is Greta Thunberg levels of activism, where in gigantic public forums, someone people can relate to explains the issues at hand in a way that a layman and normal person can understand it. Once this happens, the general populace can have someone to stand behind and actually get out on the streets with. Because to many people and legislators it all seems so complicated, that it overwhelms them to the point they can't actually deal with it in a meaningful way - when in reality the solutions are rather simple in the way of blanket bans to collect data and track people for ad purposes. You just have to look at the root of the issue, and cut the cancer out right at that point of origin. There is no need at all for this entire infrastructure and industry of big data, data collection and tracking - and if we hold dear our priv

Original Source of Information - 1+ hour of interview livestream featuring Cuttlefish https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rQ4y1v7ox (Time Stamp will be based on this video)

Secondary Source - Q&A questions within the livestream that's related to LOTM, organized by a content creator: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1wS4y1X7yA

Question 1: Will <Lord of the Mysteries> have a Book Two? (Time Stamp: 13:25)

Cuttlefish: LOTM is definitely going to have a Book Two, because the world setting is large enough, if I don't write LOTM 2 based on this world setting, it is considered a waste for writers like myself.

Question 2: When will LOTM Book Two be released? (Time Stamp: 16:50)

Cuttlefish: The release date of LOTM 2, is generally set to be after the spring festival in 2023. Because Ember Ad Infinitum is planned to be concluded in June of 2022, which will be followed by the habitual 6 months of rest. (So the release date is sometime after Jan. 27th, 2023)

Question 3: How long exactly will Klein be slumbering? (Time Stamp: 18:52)

Cuttlefish: Klein is probably going to awake in the later portion of Book Two. As we all know heroes always wake up at critical moments.

Question 4: What is the source of inspiration of LOTM? (Time Stamp: 20:12)

Cuttlefish: It was a side arc/instance dungeon in my web novel <The Sage Who Transcended Samsara>. <The Sage Who Transcended Samsara> used a writing style that's very similar to <Terror Infinity>, and one of the instances the characters experienced was Cthulhu themed. From that, some inspirations were born and became the building block for LOTM later on.

Question 5: What is the Tarot Club's role/niche/position in the story of Book Two? (Time Stamp: 21:06)

Cuttlefish: In Book Two, Tarot Club will be a mysterious, "high-end, sophisticated, and classy" organization. However, this is just one possible direction of the story and plot, I may or may not use this direction in the finalized ideas.

Question 6: Will there be no CP/pairings in Book Two? (Time Stamp: 22:02)

Cuttlefish: Because of the fundamental atmosphere and setting of the LOTM world, which is chaos and insanity. It's either going to be no pairings, or it's has to be desperate love in moments of life a

Pilot on me!!

Before we get started

The following story is a translation of this article released on Monday to celebrate Jan Tomaszewski's 74th birthday. It isn't a classic biography of a football player, but rather an attempt to explain why arguably the greatest goalkeeper in history of Poland (or at least one of top 3) nowadays isn't as beloved as one could think. The article was adressed to those who already know Tomaszewski. Hardly anyone outside of Poland does, so I feel obligated to provide a short introduction from Wikipedia:

>Jan Tomaszewski is a Polish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He kept goal for the Poland national teams that came third at the 1974 World Cup, where he was named Best Goalkeeper, that won the silver medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics, and that competed at the 1978 World Cup.
>
>Tomaszewski is best remembered for his performance for the Poland national team against England, in a qualifying match for the 1974 World Cup, which England needed to win. Tomaszewski had been labelled "a clown" by Brian Clough before the match (the two men however became quite friendly in later years), but had the last laugh as he turned in a man-of-the-match performance repeatedly denying England's attackers; the only goal he conceded being an equalizing penalty from Allan Clarke. Poland drew 1–1 and qualified for the finals in West Germany at the expense of England.
>
>Poland went on to claim third place during a World Cup in which Tomaszewski saved two penalties in two different matches (from Staffan Tapper and Uli Hoeneß) – the first keeper in FIFA World Cup history to do so. Tomaszewski went on to win a silver medal with Poland at the 1976 Summer Olympics, and also played in the 1978 World Cup, where Poland disappointed in only managing to get as far as the second group phase.

Now, provided with the basics, we can begin.

The critic. All wars of Jan Tomaszewski.

"I have my view and I agree with it" - that's one of the favorite sayings of Jan Tomaszewski. And indeed, Tomaszewski has an opinion on every subject. He is invariably ready to deliver a fiery tirade, during which he will fire off at least ten sentences suitable for a clickbait headline. He is always sharp. He is always deeply appalled by something, he is always demanding someone's resignation, he is always furiously angry. Even though barely a few weeks earlier he was also angry, but

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

It really does, I swear!

Welcome to the back end of the wild world that is Lot 49. If you don't feel like reading my summary, which is very long even I still think it too short to do this madness justice, feel free to jump to the questions at the bottom. But if you need a refresher, then I'd recommend you kick back, throw on some California-appropriate music, and join me and Oedipa Maas as we disassociate our way through the glittery circuitry along the Pacific Coast.

Chapter 5

“Though her next move should have been to contact Randolph Driblette” Oedipa kicks off chapter 5 on a trek back up to Berkeley, seeking out Lectern Press and hopefully some more info on Trystero and Warfinger, and have a nightmare about looking in a mirror and a better dream about sex with Mucho on a beach somewhere all in a hotel also housing a gather of deaf-mute people along the way.

The copy of the play she does get a hold of only opens up further questions, replacing “Who’s once been set his tryst with Trystero” with “Who once has crossed the lusts of Angelo,” while also referencing further variations of the play than Oedipa had believed. To make matters more complicated, Emory Bortz, who edited the copy of the play Oedipa has just discovered is no longer at Berkeley, but now lives in San Narisco, “Of course.” Not that, at least for us, the trek to the University of California, Berkeley has become a total loss. While there, Oedipa reflects on how much things have changed from that other world of the 1950s. How college students no longer bask in bland retreat among the simple grounds of terrestrial power structures. Now everything is more complicated, the tunnels beneath the ivory towers are twisted and winding, and there’s a new energy—the kind of energy that can collapse a state.

After the university Oedipa finds herself at the apartment of John Nefastis, builder of a real version of Maxwell’s Demon, through which a “sensitive” (should they be real) and the Demon (should it be real), will seize on the coincidence of thermodynamic and informational entropy to communicate in order to manipulate particles such that it will allow them to flow through the Demon machine against the demands of heat decay. As with Oedipa, the physics of it all is honestly beyond me. The important thing is that it does not seem to work, or if it does, Oedipa cannot be sure. So she leaves, after warding off Nefastis’ sexual advances.

Oedipa heads into San Francisco, gets pulled into a gay bar by a group of tourists

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

“BOOM”?!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
