Rock and stone

Leonard Bearstein Symphony Orchestra. That is all you get from me. Chris Chan is a cognitohazard and I refuse to directly link you directly to the cwcki.

Sometimes I wonder if the dude who was operating that animatronic bear ever learned the butterfly effect impact of him getting some weird sonic obsessed kid’s name wrong in 1992

To hide the soundstage they’re building for the mars landing. It’s my fault, really, I forgot to forward the order for the regolith camo dropcloths on time. The project lead decided there wasn’t enough leeway to delay construction so it’s been quite a strain on the PR team.

Honestly I’m incredibly embarrassed. My manager is telling me it’s okay and that everyone makes mistakes but honestly I almost wish they would fire me. Everyone here at Illuminati hq has been incredibly understanding and kind to the point it makes me feel weird.

If there was more competence none of this would have happened. Their incompetence is not stopping them from mulching innocent civilians and it is not stopping them from fucking up global trade and putting billions at risk of starvation by causing the price of energy and fertilizer to skyrocket.

A competent imperial leadership would have perhaps still had the desire to wage full scale war on Iran, but competence would have led them to do at the very least a cost-benefit analysis and conclude that continuing to leverage soft power would have been more in line with the imperial goal of continued global hegemony. This administration’s actions belie a deep seated desperation that is unnecessary and unbecoming. Precisely because, I suspect, they are all painfully aware that they are not qualified for the positions they have found themselves in and that they are doing a terrible job.

well I guess parking warships on Indian soil beats parking them at the bottom of the black sea

What pisses me off the most about all this is all the crimes against humanity. But after that, the thing that pisses me off the most is the sheer incompetence. You didn’t think they would hit back? Like you SERIOUSLY DID NOT CONSIDER THAT THEY ALSO HAVE BOMBS?

All I can say is that feminism is not a monolith. It is an incredibly fragmented ideology. There is only one thing you could honestly say that every feminist in the world 100% agrees on, and that is that sexism is bad.

I have read precisely one book about feminism, and that book is The Will to Change by bell hooks. She is maybe the most influential feminist of the 21st century. In the book she writes that hating men is bad and that it hurts the movement. She also had an incredibly simple definition of feminism: sexism is bad and we should stop it. I wonder why she is so popular.

Anyway, yeah, all that shit in your links is awful. Its also incredibly fucking fringe, and the feminist circles you’re referring to are not representative of the broader feminist movement. Your take here is nuclear, as in it’s radioactive. You couldn’t be worse at attacking feminism dude.

Anyway this conversation isn’t going anywhere so imma head out

I wouldn’t say the feminists I know believe any of that stuff. Most of them are focused on poverty and rape and how those things affect women.

Toes deserve fair compensation but I wish they’d just price it into the bill.

Every capital improvement project is subject to environmental review and street works have a 95% chance to go over time and over budget. Then the population blames you personally and it’s game over.

you could do that in XP I’m pretty sure. Can you not do that in 11?

I think I went too far with the zoom enhance

What is an AI employee gonna do with beer, pizza, or airline tickets? Sure, little freaks like Musk and Altman would love a world where its them and n billion chatbots and not a single living soul, but our economy is tooled for making things people need. You might be able to retool it into a paperclip machine that only makes compute and energy but it would bother a lot of very deep pockets in the process.

Yeah my client doesn’t show top level posting accounts on my feed but I saw this and instantly knew who posted it. I actually kind of like the boomer memes in moderation. I appreciate the variety. Most of the rest of my feed is “we’re fucked,” “we’re super fucked,” or “ungentle reminder the civil religion you were brought up in is fundamentally flawed and evil and you’re flawed and evil for having participated in it also we’re fucked.”

The plot point from the deus ex series that sticks out to me was in Human Revolution where they started converting warehouses into concentration camps, but what do I know?

I could see donating to your favorite terminal emulator. cool-retro-term is, well, pretty cool.
