Elon Musk has a ketamine habit, a dozen kids with as many women, and there’s no way he wasn’t repeatedly kicked in the nuts as a teenager.

Absurdism - How to Party At the End of Meaning

I very much love exurb1a but I think I particularly love this one most of all.

When this baby hits 8x10^8000000000 fs/Z you’re gonna see some serious shit

and doesnt really bother anyone?

Don’t they threaten to fire missiles at America like, weekly?

And try and fail to do it once every six months or so, I feel like I’ve been hearing about failed North Korean missile launches or tests with some regularity since like 2000.

This is going to probably sound like a stupid idea, but I mean this earnestly:

Can we just make Internet 2? Just a new underlying protocol with less restrictive browser requirements, sure you might need to use Chrome to log in to your bank, but we could just host everything else on the fedinet. Just like back in the old days, webrings hosted on closet servers and rented racks.

Google didn’t build the internet so why do they have so much clout about how it’s run? We can just start over again with self hosting. This time we even have all the knowledge we gained from already doing it the first time. I’m picturing an entire second layer of internet unlinked with the first one. Kind of like onion sites I guess, the more I think about this the more I’m realizing that the tor network is probably exactly what I’m talking about. Just that, but instead of hosting pirated content or weird porn or bitcoin assassins it’s just a low stakes noncorporate internet protocol. You probably won’t want to do a lot of transactions on it, but social media or personal websites or video hosting would probably be fine.

This is the correct answer

I’m not the biggest fan of l.w for a few reasons but it’s the best/only auto repair comm that I know of.

Look bud, you can’t call it “February second” in conversation, write it down as “Second February” in writing, and then get mad at us Yanks about it. Pick a lane.

The woman’s left hand and the man’s right both seem to be missing some fingers. And yeah those bats are suuuuuper janky.

I figured that shit out when I was 12 and there were way less learning resources about it on the internet then. Fuck 'em. Someone who never has to solve their own problems without handholding is someone who will never learn to solve problems, period. IPad kids are scared of error messages and that’s their problem. They’ve never had to troubleshoot anything before.

Though I can’t blame the kids entirely. Most error messages in the modern era absolutely suck nuts. Half of them nowadays (at least on the client side) are just

“oopsie, there’s been a widdle fucky wucky, sooorrrrryyyyy 💖”

With zero actionable info in it. Not even a distinction of You/We/Your ISP Has Fucked Something Up. I guess they figured (correctly) that the end user wasn’t going to read it anyway so why bother, but this drives me nuts when I see it.

I mean, these are all real CIA documents being referenced, you can go read them yourself. It’s trustable in as much as you can trust the CIA to be straightforward within their own documentation that wasn’t declassified until 20 years later.

They made a pretty good case through a series of generally ethical experiments to prove that at least some forms of psychic phenomena like remote viewing are almost certainly real, if not exactly reliable or common. I thought that was pretty neat.

Other than that, no, I can’t think of much.

I stay defending the weird genius of Yoko Taro’s art to my brother and I stay being vindicated about this

They’re banking on that happening so they can cry terrorism and swing emergency powers into full effect in response. Then they won’t even have to detain you they can just shoot you on the spot. They’re soft rolling the ethnic cleansing right now but if people start fighting back against it they’ll probably stomp the accelerator on it.

In case you weren’t aware (it sounds like you’re not) :

Well you’ve already lost that bet, because he self-identifies as a dictator and Republicans submitted a constitutional amendment to remove the two-term limit the day after he was confirmed.

So pay up

Hilariously, as America progresses further into the dark ages, these “prestige” schools are increasingly becoming known for being degree mills who will sell a degree to any idiot with fat enough pockets to ask for one. Take the Trumps’ history at Wharton for instance.

Similarly, when I tried to learn to play using a mute, it sounded like absolute dogshit because the mute changes a ton about how the instrument sounds and feels to play. You’re going to sound (and probably be) off key and the lung pressure feels different because you’re blocking part of the air flow out of the instrument. It requires a technique adjustment to sound right.

I missed the original, but Scorched 3D was a big hit at my high school.
