My wife’s having a loud house party until 6am, which is pretty much my idea of hell.
So I went hiking and am staying overnight in a freezing country town. Right now I’m having dinner; further plans involve electric blankets and Netflix

Counting the days until this is hacked and everyone on it gets doxxed.
The artist is just playing with foreground vs background; his body carries on from the open space under the chair, and the 3d nose becomes a curled wire when removed from its normal context.
There’s no ‘joke’ to get, except for your brain getting confused.
Baker FTW. He understood the assignment: Gandalf-Bugs-Mr-Bean, saving the universe with absolute pacifism and a crumpled bag of jelly babies.
The remake in the new format completely destroyed the character archetype, and turned him into a forced-whimsy action hero with a side of self-pity.
So why do they campaign individually? Why do they talk about their values or priorities at all? Why does it matter that they live in their electorate? If you’re just getting Hivemind Unit #173, why maintain the fiction of local representatives?
You vote for the person, you should get the person.
Sure, but y’know it’d be so much easier to cope with the random shit life threw at you if you knew it wasn’t a gigantic fuck-you, eg. you’re going to die horribly to teach your loved ones an important lesson about faith lol.
Make my god a well-meaning fuckup.
You got cancer? Shit! Aw, fuck man, that keeps happening, I’m sorry. I keep trying to tune this thing better, but I’ll level with you, I never actually set out to be a god, things just got kinda out of hand, and… oh fuck! The stratosphere! Nonononono don’t be on fire, look, I gotta take this, we’ll talk later, ok?
What is the fucking point of voting for individual candidates, if they’re not allowed to act as individuals?
Representative democracy, my hairy balls. God damn lawful-netural amoral bastards can go straight to hell.
Tens of thousands of people dying, but all they give a shit about is their precious lockstep.
And no, Ms. Wong, spending ten years voting against gay marriage wasn’t some noble sacrifice for the greater good, it simply means you were just as amoral then as you are now.
It’s not practical.
However, have a shower in the pitch dark sometime. It’s the most ridiculously soothing thing imaginable.
Put your shower gel and stuff where you can find it by feel, obvs.
Morally bad? Ehh, I try not to be.
Generally low-quality human? Fuck yes.
that game is a steal at full price, let alone a discount.

We’ve been producing noticeable radio waves for a matter of decades. We’ve been capable of detecting even super-powerful, super-deliberate, super-targeted broadcasts for even less time.
And on top of that, it doesn’t look as though our civilisation is going to exist for more than a handful more decades, in any detectable-from-light-years-away form.
The chances of that onionskin-thin slice of lightcone intersecting with that of any other civilisation out there seems ludicrously remote.
Yeah, I’m totally clicking on a url that ends in fgsfds.link
People are so damn shallow about looks, it’s ridiculous.
The fact is that an AIO has a shorter lifespan, is way more expensive per-watt, and… Oh, right.
Sex work is work, and the people doing it deserve respect. Fuck the ‘there will be consequences’ mindset, since that mostly comes from the people imposing the ‘consequences’ in the first place.
I wouldn’t be willing/able to suspend disbelief about an actual personal connection either, but it’s a valid human emotional need, and if it works for people, good for them.
He fixed some other fairly-problematic titles, too. Check them out on that same site :)
Could is maybe-can: I bet I could jump over that car [if I wanted to].
As opposed to I bet I can jump over that car [and I’m going to try].
Would is maybe-will: If you saw an alligator, would you run away?
Would is also ‘did’, for habitual actions. When I was young, I would wait by the window for my father to come home.
Laptops are uniformly awful.
You can’t upgrade or replace the GPU or CPU, the hinge assembly is mechanically vulnerable, a cup of coffee over the keyboard is game over, the screen dies you’ve got a ridiculous cost to fix, the cooling sucks, the ergonomics suck, and you pay about double the price for half the specs.
You need a proper screen and keyboard at your desk anyway, so unless you’re hotdesking with the thing, it’s just going to act like a shitty desktop most of the time.
I have some sensory issues around crowd noise; she is very much not the hike-in-the-mountains type. Rather than one or other of us having to be miserable, we each do our own thing when they’d otherwise conflict. Easy fix :)
