@j Somehow this smells a bit like BS, because this is the first time I've heard anything about black holes requiring anything that could be described as "exotic matter".

Also, the entire singularity problem has kinda been debunked before. You see, if you do the math with Einstein's equations, and assume a static (non-rotating) black hole, you get a singularity as a result of the equations. But to date, all observed black holes have been found to be spinning.
Doing the math on a spinning black hole is much, much harder, but apparently you don't get a singularity anymore from Einstein's equations. You still get an event horizon, a point beyond which the gravity is so large that no light can escape, but underneath that the matter is shaped into a highly dense donut shape. No physics breaking, infinitely small, singularity required.

Of course, Einstein's theory is considered incomplete, and people are looking and hoping for a quantum gravity theory to know for sure what happens in these extreme conditions.

@Koropokkur @vitalis I think it was because of Nana that I learned about Hatchiko the first time.

@j It's interesting seeing the Americans start learning what East European corruption looks like. This is the kind of shit that decades of communism created in my nation.
The bad part for us though, is that in trying to reduce this kind of wasteful corruption, we ended up creating corrupt prosecutors that fabricate political cases to rise in the ranks. We are such a mess.
Hope you guys are more successful at solving things.

@PinochetsCommieCopter
To be fair, I'd consider what the impersonator was doing as harassment.

@Koropokkur @vitalis
I don't think I knew about Hachiko the first time I saw the episode, but I they definitely did the source material justice.

@Alex Can't say I know about that one. But let me put it this way. I'm an Atheist these days, and even I think that he committed heresy more times than I can count. I don't know what he is, I just know he ain't Catholic.

@Koropokkur @vitalis
Don't do this to me man. I just woke up... I can't be bawling my eyes out right now.

@creamqueen Honestly, if you can't even win this challenge, you're better off just ending it all.

I kinda expected that literally nobody would even notice this poll. Glad to see some results.

So what do you guys think about Pope Francis? Are you gonna be good Christians and pray for his health, like he asked? Or would you rather get a new Pope?

@phnt Most probably contribute more to society as a vtuber than if they went on with their former careers.

@s8n @j
That's what I was thinking too. Either someone got payed by China to create propaganda for them, or journalists are getting dumber by the day.

@WhitestTemplar @Gran3Walder
Oh, you're right. Didn't even notice that. I bet the authorities jailed the script writers for that one.

@Gran3Walder Wait... she actually says "pokeball"?! I'm surprised she didn't say "boule de monstre de poche".
