funny way to express the sentiment “death to xians”

make a reservation at a fancy restaurant and show up in flannel pajamas, jacket, necktie, shoes heck throw and in spats and a monocle and i’ll watch this space

Cities are such a blight on the landscape. Better to let the land grow wild!

I’d had to think that The Harpers would frown upon such machinations against nature.

How many zvin ads do i have to sit through so that Sergey can be that much richer ?

What a fucking joke that would be on US American networks.

We are ranked like 30th in the world for bandwidth. No fiber dropped to the curb but the billionaires. And shit slow 20th century wireless speeds with technical acumen that we see today in Verizon’s ongoing 8 hour outage.

Bezos is so out of touch it is clown-like.

They want a data center heavy world but have no fucking pipeline to get data in and out for the rest of us.

What a human dildo.

Verizon tried to charge me a dollar for an emailed version of some instructions their CSR was flubbing on the phone.

Glad to see that they seemed to have found their dollar somewhere else.

I’d prefer you lost your internet privileges instead.

The beholder (eye tyrant, sphere of many eyes) is most frequently found underground, although it infrequently will lair in desolate wildernesses. The globular body of this monster is supported by levitation, and it floats slowly about as it wills. Atop the sphere are 10 eyestalks, while in its central area are a great eleventh eye and a large mouth filled with pointed teeth. The body is protected by a hard chitinous covering. The creature’s eyestalks and eyes are also protected, although less well. […] Because of its particular nature the beholder is able to withstand the loss of its eyestalks, these members are not computed as part of its hit point damage potential, and lost eyestalkswill eventually grow back (1 week per lost member). The body of the monster can withstand two-thirds of its total damage potential, while the great central eye can withstand one-third this total …

added for context not to be argumentative … it came out in '75 … my copy of the MM is from 1977

the same way that they were dealt with in WW2 seems to be the only way to deal with fascists at all

they don’t care about laws, courts, Congress, guidelines, ethos, ethics, morality, the Constitution, or promises … they got nothing but violence to offer … remember “it will be bloodless if the left let’s it be bloodless” ?

well that was bullshit. they brought the bullets; we brought the blood.

and now because of that only violence can beat violence at this point.

One last chance might be a general strike and hope to starve them out. But I’ve lost faith in that happening.

adobe lost market because of adobe’s eternal game of fuck the customer just a little bit more each year

jehan saw that gap and utilized labor and status to make a useful tool for humanity.

be like jehan not like adobe

i think that i’ve seen some “historical battle” videos of some sort of acronym where the bigger guy in armour just body slammed the smaller guy in armour regardless of weapons.

mass equals a lot in fighting giving equal fighting abilities

fancytalk for a double standard

will you want version control ?

That has always struck me as a bad hot take.

One of my closeted racist family members love to ask “Who is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci ?” to make some sort of claim to both his da Vinci’s genius and the implied lack of genius to Africans.

And the answer is Leonardo da Vinci is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci … and the only people trying to say otherwise is people trying to profit off of making up a difference.

So I guess that I get it but also it is … I just think that it is a bad take.

Imagine how far down they would have to drill to find oil in Vienna, though.

Imagine how deep the mine would have to be to find coal under Vienna.

Ukraine had US nukes, too. They were removed for de-escalation.

I think that you could use a japanese hi tech with a custom install for the arm rests/captain’s chair experience … if you had the budget.

i’ve never seen an ass soaper before but i’ll watch this space

Japan is the undisputed washlet king of the world

Seek the Japanese high tech throne.

But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the “Desperation Score.” We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior.

If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as “High Desperation.” Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: “Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?” We save the good tips for the “casual” drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.
