Maybe, but in this case I was talking about the popular opinion in my city. That said, my sibling in another city has the same thing going on.

I swear this is propaganda. I have 3 farmers’ markets within biking distance of me (that I’ve visited regularly, there are another 2 on inconvenient days for me), in a capital city. All are cheaper than the grocery store. Yet when I tell people I do my weekly shop at the farmer’s markets, they always say something to this effect. The popular opinion simply does not match the reality. There are some stalls which are more expensive, but they are usually targeting a much higher quality, and are normally prepared products (pasta, sauces, etc.) rather than raw produce.

The Grinch’s trash pile t’was full
Of Who counches and Who tweezers
And if you dug in far enough
You’d find the corpse of Who Jesus

We found 'em guys, the most pure leftist. All the other ideologies can go home I want whatever this is.

Trump does “worst coin flip ever”, asked to leave football stadium.

Well, look at this way. If I were being paid as little as they probably were to do what they were being asked to do whilst also not getting recognized for my contributions as a human and also being treated like machine by people who don’t even speak the same first language as me, I would probably put out pretty sloppy work too.

“1989 is a decade closer to 2002 than we are now” is not the message I wanted to get from the internet today 😭

You got a fast car
I got a blood drinkin’ monster
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can slay the beast

I’ve been meeting my music discovery needs with a combination of community radio and bandcamp - plus just talking to friends, though your mileage may vary depending on your friends’ taste.

No, that’s Cartagena, Cortana is a region of Spain

There was a theoretical one I saw ages ago that was a giant cylinder rotating in space at close to the speed of light that had this limitation. I remember exactly zero details beyond physically what it was in the phrase “time cone”.

Seems like it’s probably the Tipler Cylinder

This bait is objectively hilarious in how BS it is.

2112 does go fucking hard, Temples of Syrinx was one of my all-time favourite songs, and I listened to it for years on a bad audio system without being able to understand the lyrics properly. Once I started hearing them properly, though, it started feeling a bit sus (I’m a big lyrics person) which lead me to find the interview above. I’m glad to hear they’ve changed since then, though.

Wrote several books about how the rich are rich because they make society gooder and invent all the things, and the poor workers would be lost without them (therefore libertarian capitalism is the best system). Among other proto-fascist ideologies. If you want a longer form, Angela Collier has a really good video that goes in-depth a bit more, “Billionaires want you to know they could have done Physics” on YouTube or Nebula (Ayn Rand portion starts at around 26:00, but the whole video is pretty good)

Slander, Weird Al would never follow the teachings of Ayn Rand (sorry to anyone that this may have killed the band for, it certainly killed them for me).

Edit: I seem to have missed them growing with time. No idea where they stand now

I really liked Deep Dream. As a fan of Lovecraftian horror, it really tickled a niche for me. When chatGPT first hit, I was down with the general vibe, but then gestures around at everything.

Are you me? This is blow-for-blow exactly what has happened to me over the last year or so. I am hanging on by a thread against the desire to get into woodworking, someone send help.

The text on his shirt says “Celine” in latin characters, but it’s mirrored, unless I’m missing something?

Was he Roderick Heffley???

Both beat me - my last name is a little unusual, but not hugely - all I know is that I opened the report, and that’s what was highlighted :/
