  • Yes, every family I’ve ever known has had a drawer with bulky oversized kitchen utensils and gadgets. The harder you try to organize these things, the more you will realize that you’d just end up with an entire drawer taken up by a single pizza cutter, garlic press, or zester. Theoretically, if you had enough storage space in your kitchen you could do that, but these things are used so infrequently that they either get shoved into one drawer which fully takes up that one space with disorganized chaos, or placed in a receptacle of some sort to sit on the countertop for when you need it, which is ugly and takes up then takes up the counter space instead.



  • This image is frighteningly accurate. The IT guy at my current job is top left. The IT guy at my last job was top right. My friend from my discord server who works in IT has said for years that everyone who works in IT is either a neckbeard, a femboy, or a furry. He’s a furry.


  • There was an occasional reddit repost that I remember seeing a few times about a guy who invented a “suicide helmet” specifically to avoid the prospect of botching his own planned attempt. It basically was a bunch of shotgun shells wired up to a detonator and fused into a hardhat. The level of planning and makeshift engineering that went into it was astounding, and the dude explained it all in his suicide note. It worked. On one hand I can see how someone who is determined to die but afraid of pain would want to make sure the process was instantaneous and extremely lethal, on the other hand, it’s fucked up to think about how much the guy must have dwelt on the idea of killing himself, knowing it wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment opportunity where he shoved a gun in his mouth like most people would have done.

    Seriously, there’s no standardization to the security theater hoops that the TSA forces you to jump through. Every airport is different, and the TSA guys always look so exasperated that you don’t know the routine. I guess that’s the point, that on any given day the rules might be different so that potential terrorists will have a harder time finding gaps in security, but it makes it a frustrating experience as a regular non-terrorist passenger.

    If lawmakers would simply make the entity responsible for the operation of these AI powered tools be fully liable for every decision that it makes, right or wrong, this kind of nonsense would vanish overnight.

    I hope the people running itch.io have great lawyers, because I would be trying to take Funko to court for punitive damages over something like this.

    Also, while we’re at it, reform the DMCA to disallow automated copyright related takedown requests without some sort of human reviewing it at the other end. It’s been abused to hell and back by big business.






  • I got mine done almost two years ago. I think it will be two years in March. My partner and I are 100% sure we never want to do the pregnancy thing and are like 95-99% sure we don’t want kids at all. If we ever change our minds on that front, there are orphanages full of kids of all ages just waiting for a loving home and I don’t expect that will change any time soon in this cruel world so we’ve got plenty of time to have a family when we want one, and in the meantime, I don’t want any accidents.

    Plus, getting to rawdog my girl whenever I want is a huge bonus!


  • I had thought so too. Apparently there have been a bunch of false reports on them being involved in fighting. Which makes sense, because their involvement in this conflict was entirely political theater to begin with - they were sent over to try and scare the western allies into backing down or else risk a wider global conflict. USA and others called their bluff and the NK soldiers have been sitting in Russia ever since. They can’t fight and they almost certainly don’t speak any Russian or have enough translators to be an effective assault force in a combat scenario.
