Nowadays that mom would get arrested for neglect or some bullshit.

Mystery Men

My friend just gave me her copy of The Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami, so I’m starting that now.

Just finished Mapping the Interior, which was a quick to read novella, highly recommend.

Campy is all about exaggeration and being self-aware at how ridiculous it is. 1960s Batman TV show is the epitomy of camp. Classic comedy styles like slapstick also get thrown into camp.

I used to live in a condo with some friends, and there were others in our friend group that would randomly show up throughout the day. The doors were always unlocked, so friends would just walk in. Sometimes it would be early in the morning and would hang out while I made myself breakfast. Sometimes it was late at night after they partied and needed a place to crash.

Seems similar to what you mentioned, I relate. Like you said, Friends was idealized, but not unrealistic.

That’s a good one *takes notes

Phone is Android, PC is now Linux Mint, for gaming I use a Steam deck, and my NAS is now TrueNAS.

Agreed. “Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.” -George Washington

If only the US would have more honorable people in positions of power.

Communism doesn’t prevent greed and power seeking individuals from ruining it for the rest though, it doesn’t stop its people from being greedy and going outside the system seeking more than what they’re given, and Communist countries will eventually find someone in power who decorates their palaces in gold while starving their people.

I’m not saying one system is better than the other or anything like that, Capitalism has plenty of issues, but various systems of government will find an era of prosperity followed by corrupt people figuring out how to take advantage of the system, leading to its demise or devolution into something else, something worse.

Idealistic communism or idealistic capitalism is simply unobtainable. Greedy, power-seeking individuals will always ruin them due to a system being established for so long.

AI isn’t the problem. Greedy, power-hungry people are. Tale as old as time (the saying will be even more true after AI solves time travel).

Nah nah nah, rollerblade path. No need for a rollerblade lane of there are no bikes.

Horror already without filters. I’m going to see that thing in my nightmares, fuckin hell.

Where is the DDR memes society, I need more content like this.

Right? Like does that asshole also purchase groceries for his roommate, or is it just a one way street?

TempleOS and BSG

Had me in the first half

No it doesn’t. It just needs to be upright so that the hose is coming from the bottom. The user just needs to bite down on the other end of the hose and suck to get water. That’s how mine works.

I have never heard anyone say that they’re “travelling Europe” in my life. I don’t think this is a thing. I’ve heard people say “I’m going to [insert European country]” instead. I’ve heard people claim to backpack across Europe, though I don’t know where that usually entails.

Just came back from Seattle and drank coffee from various coffee places that were not Starbucks every single day.

Thanks for the insight!
