Reply to The Solution by Wahaha
Fun fact: I planted over 100 trees this year around my house and have about 1/4 of an acre completely unmaintained / not mowed for about two years ago for rabbits and other animals to hide in. Some of the growth is taller than me now.

It's a flat earth joke.
One of the so called proofs for a round earth is that ships are disappearing on the horizon, implying that on a flat earth you'd be able to observe ships until they reach the opposing shore and thus you'd be able to also see far away places like China. Just like you can see the moon.
The meme shows you that in reality you cannot look that far. And no, you also couldn't see the end of the hallway in person if it is long enough.
You can provoke a similar phenomenon with two mirrors to create an "infinitely repeating space" inside the mirror. At some point you just can't see anymore, because it gets too small for the naked eye.
If you take out a telescope you can see farther. Both in the hallways and also ships that seem to disappear into the horizon. The reason your naked eye loses sight of them is because they simply became too small to perceive. That's exactly what the horizon is. It is not because the earth curves away from your sight. Not even in a round earth scenario. At that small of a distance the earth doesn't curve yet.
Luckily the moon is really large, so you can see it even though it is far, far away.
So essentially the meme is mocking people that are ill-equipped to disprove flat earth. In my opinion that's the whole flat earth joke, too. Showing that your average person cannot even disprove flat earth. Essentially revealing that most people follow science exactly as uncritically as they follow(ed) religion. The authority™ said so, so it must be true.

Wait, who is claiming you could 'see China' if the earth was flat? And you could see the end of the hallway in person.

Reply to comment by spektor in Ron Paul's: "What If?" Speech (House Floor, 2/12/09) by Rambler
I wouldn't put the blame on the things he highlighted as not changing because of him. Sadly we've got big government republicans and democrats that get propped up in the media and receive an absurd amount of funding where other parties or individuals get ignored. It's hard for non-mainstream messaging to get out to the masses and for that to influence change in government.
It's sad that we don't have a pro-liberty, pro-fiscal responsibility, and an American first candidate. It's sad that none of the candidates nowadays seem to reference history and the constitution as a basis for shaping their policies.

Yeah... they gave you that neat little smart therostat for free. No alternate motives.

What if Ron Paul made a speech 13 years ago and none of that stuff has fundamentally changed due to the actions of Ron Paul?

Didn't see an Introductions sub, so I'll just post here. Hey everyone! Left another link agregator a while back, looking for a new place to hang out. I mainly post pictures of space, bad memes and make off color jokes.

Should have worked. I put the old site on maintenance mode to prevent any new sign ups or changes while I migrated the database.
Curious if anyone else experienced this.

Yep. I have Ramble's TOR address bookmarked. If anything happens, I can always use that. I wish more websites would do the same.

This is what stealing secrets and selling them looks like. This Trump thing looks like a rodeo clown circus of "stolen secrets to sell".

One cannot have a centralized point of control, otherwise they pass the buck for policing the content on to the admins.

Reply to comment by smallpond in Holy fuck, this website is actually usable now! by WhoIsJoe
No real grand plan right now. I'd like to use different software for the site, but don't want to lose the content that is already here. I'm not a developer, so just creating something from scratch isn't on the table.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of the name 'ramble'. I did this before I ever heard of rumble, and comically enough there is a 'raddle' that is on the same software. I called this place 'ramble' because I was going by 'rambler' on I2P at the time and it seemed fitting.... But the few I've talked to have advised against a name change.
For now, it is what it is. It's open and available. I'll pop in and moderate and share what I can. :)

Momentum can probably be rebuilt - depending on the determination and time available to the admin.
Any grand plan @Rambler ? Or are you just giving the place a shot of adrenaline to keep it alive for now?

I've just been using Debian for day to day tasks. There are too many flavors of linux out there for me to try anything new.
