Well, the Jewish Jews are the LORD’s chosen, underdogs who are bravely soldiering the storm, but the American Jews are communist Satan worshippers who’ve sold their souls for control of the world. They’ve been battling for millenia to control the space lasers.

Also, now that I’ve imagined it, there’s both porn and a Manga of it.

But the venn diagram of the group of people who take voluntary surveys and the group you want to advertise to have no overlap.

The problem with ads is that we’re barely removed from the era of all ads being malicious trojans if you clicked one. All ads are still malicious, just less insidious. They’ll silo you off into an echo chamber rather than brick your computer. Some will still brick your computer though.

I block ads because I don’t want to see ads, but I don’t want to see ads because I don’t trust any of them. Until they fix that, they’ll stay blocked. I don’t care if you’re Google or some boutique website, I’ll block them all.

It’s hard to grow up with no dad.

It’s also hard to grow up with a dad who’s a bottom feeding scumbag.

Brian Thompson was a scumbag. We can’t say whether it will be better or worse growing up without him. We can only say that if he wasn’t a scumbag, he’d probably still be here.

Part of what made Joan of Arc a name that has lasted 1000 years is not that she was a hero, it’s that she was killed for being a hero.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

Ah, but there are also tarot cards, which is spooky Occult voodoo magic. Balatro backwards might spell “Satan is Lord” in some ancient druidic script.

No, it’s not.

It’s an acknowledgement that there’s a massive problem.

These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn’t act surprised that it still happens. I don’t think we should celebrate it, because it’s sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

I am so confused by all this. It makes me feel old.

Funko is essentialy just plastic, shitty Beanie Babies, right? They do nothing original, from what I can tell.

They’re just anxious to get back to the real problem, domesticated squirrels.

But would you rather be alone in the woods with a statistician or a bear?

Wonder if he was doing something genuinely good with his day or if he was on his way to a presentation with investors where they can gameplan new ways to capitalize on human suffering.

Shame, we’ll never know.

There used to be a way you could download all of the Wikipedia text as a PDF. I’d pop that bad boy on a Kindle and have my own Hitchhiker’s Guide.

While we’re at it, let’s go back to 10nm chips too. That’s Intel’s bread and butter. Phones get bigger every year. Why not transistors too?

This is how I feel as well.

The Democratic party has stood by at best and enabled at most. Are they better than Republicans? Yes, in that they don’t actively do some things they allow Republicans to do.

A friend of mine described it as a dad (Republicans) molesting his kids. Mom (Democrats) know it’s happening, but can’t bring herself to do anything about it. Is mom better than dad? Technically yes?

Anyone advocating for working inside the system to change the system is hoping the person enabling your absuser finds a conscience. It won’t happen.

Go no contact. Vote third party. Vote independent.

From knowing a little about recruiting, if you have a bachelor’s degree and apply, they’re willing to drop one of their employees who barely finished high school.

It’s not worth it to replace an underperformer with someone else who’ll likely underperform. But if you can start with someone you deem “better” because they have a slightly more expensive piece of paper, it’s more worth the risk.

Fingolfin is about to get a fitbit for Christmas with a cryptic note about how it’ll come in handy.

Because it’s self serving.

If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.

What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn’t want to be held accountable.

Unfortunately for veterans, they aren’t risking their lives for their country. They’re risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn’t care less about them.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

I ran Fedora on my Framework when I first got it, a couple years ago, but the battery life and sleep behavior was just awful. Love Linux on desktop, hate it on a laptop. Should I revisit?

Yes. Special forces are vetted with lots of testing before joining. However, once they’re done doing things that make many psychologically stable people very unstable, they’re released back into the general population with little to no help or followup.
