Old medieval pages look so fascinating. Too bad the letters are so beautifully drawn that I can’t even try reading what each word says.

The morality police in the UK strike again. They’re slowly turning into Saudi Arabia the longer they keep this up.

The head of a related department at work kept bragging about his plans to make a brand new tech doc for months to the higher ups but the problem with that is he didn’t have enough people to back it up. Upper management wants results already but the guy has too much pride to say it’ll need to be delayed until the headcount climbs back up. Instead he’s dragging my manager and by extension, me, into his plans. Now I’m being forced to bail out the other manager while not having the background necessary to produce a good doc on time. It’s so bad that we’re having twice a week workshops to cover this shit.

We used to have vehicles that didn’t need over the air updates for over a century. If they had a problem then a technician could simply perform an onsite diagnostic. Why the hell are we keeping them in a network like they’re computers or no longer supported IoT dongles?

When an organization targets a metric, that same metric will then fail it eventually. It even happened to the Soviets when plant managers had to over report production or else face the wrath of the administration. I often wonder why management can’t just realize some things are better left untouched lest they break something.

Fuck off with Mariah Carey! At least until after Thanksgiving.

Manzo Rodríguez, who some nicknamed “the Mexican Bukele” in reference to the tough security policies of El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, took office as mayor of Uruapan after winning that year’s midterm elections with an independent movement.

It’s hard not to have mixed feelings about this particular political assassination. There are hundreds more that seem way more tragic than this one.

I am and it’s like that constantly. I’ll never see the bonus panels on SMBC comics because of it.

Why couldn’t you compare them? They’re both fruit.

Holy shit. They claim Einstein’s Theory of Relativity has something to do with moral relativism? That’s so fucking stupid.

Can’t the rest of the world just start boycotting trade with the US already? BRICS is a fine start but it needs to speed up and stop giving them any more support if they’re turning from the world’s police to its bully.

Pay me and I’ll gladly offer a verbal beatdown.

Ah yes, Malcolm in the Middle is behind this all along.

I thought it would be like a hand in glove kind of thing.

The very article linked to this post talks about civilizational collapse of the US similar to the Roman republic.

Turchin doesn’t track gold but he does track political and societal instability. He believes America has entered what he calls a “revolutionary situation,” where long-running systemic stress can no longer be contained. “It’s not a prophecy,” he said. “It’s modeling feedback loops that repeat with alarming regularity.”

Gold is supposed to represent something finite that’s hard to dig out of the ground. It’s like the antithesis of fiat currency that way. i think of it like a hedge against the dollar like with some cryptos. That said I only think US civilization would collapse while the rest of the world moves on or divvies up its corpse.

This is truly a shitpost. That man is wrong and should feel bad for ever having uttered that nonsense.

Tacosius.

White = cool and hip expat

Anyone else = scary and dangerous immigrant
