And here I thought I’d already listened to Dear Hank and John this morning.

This is fascinating (and unsettling). I had no idea.

note to self 📖🖋️ Watch out for Laura.

To assume something isn’t true based solely on the fact that you’ve never experienced it demonstrates a profound lack of empathy and critical thought. So does taking the time to complain about trans people in a meme instead of having an actual conversation with another human being.

If you take the time to do the latter instead, you might develop a shred of empathy, but you’re afraid to, because that might mean you have to admit that you’re wrong.

I know this is obvious, but Cash’s beliefs are endlessly fascinating. The same man who recorded “Ragged Old Flag” also wrote “Man in Black” and covered “Out Among the Stars.” The latter is a song about a kid who commits suicide by cop because he doesn’t feel like his life matters.

I don’t know what memes I expected to see today, but I certainly wasn’t expecting a Warriors one. Well played.

Looks like these versions will actually have discs, unlike last time. Lol.

“That is AMERICA’S ass!”

Snow Crash feels more prescient every day.

Are we doing 90s ballads? I’m down.

It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe/ Maybe this year will be better than the last/ I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell myself/ To hold on to these moments as they pass

By the logic of this post, yes they would. By the logic of my comment…no? I’m honestly not sure, but I feel like they would live on in some capacity by the marks they/their former followers have made on the world. History was shaped by lots of humans that are dead now.

Mine too! I’ve read it twice now, and I’m close to reading it for a third, lol.

Sorry to get weirdly serious on a shitpost, but I don’t know if a concept does cease to exist just because you’re currently not thinking about it.

That’s partly the theme of the novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which argues–in quite a lovely way–that ideas have a life of their own. No one remembers Addie, and yet she still leaves marks on the world.

Anyway, have an upvote cause Ralph made me laugh, then overthink.

“…nothing can really define what makes a ‘good book’. We just know what strikes a chord in ourselves. Right story, right reader, right time.”

It took me forever to learn this: the fact that someone dislikes my favorite book (or movie, or game, or album) doesn’t mean they dislike me. I’ll probably have to learn it again if I ever manage to get my own book published.

I always wonder what a hacker hopes to gain from me. The $4.00 in my bank account?

I can’t speak for all of them, but mine is pretty easy. Their ink cartridges are expensive too, but there’s really good third-party options on Amazon

Wouldn’t it be constantly fluctuating between speeds one or two numbers apart? Unless your foot is magic or you’re in cruise control, lol. I feel like it could be distracting.

(I have a liberal arts degree. Two, in fact. And I had a job before I finished undergrad.)

I realize I’m a bit of an outlier, but don’t let people tell you it’s not possible.

Okay, cool. Done. Thank you! I wasn’t sure which to use.

Well shit. If there is I haven’t noticed for like 15 years
