You make a good point

I would definitely not recommend doing what I did, which is learning how to make literally the best cheesecake everyone who’s tried it has ever eaten.

I make sure not to have the ingredients in the house or I’d probably eat one a week.

It’s a real problem.

Yet again I’m asking the Fediverse: What do they think a good economy should look like?

I am automatically suspicious of anyone who’s a patriotic American. Either they’re ignorant of our country’s history and are idiots or they’re proud of it and are psychopaths.

Edit: I just realized I’m paraphrasing Patrick O’Brien:

But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.

That was an amazing lucky shot! Perfectly in frame, capturing the sky and the meteor and the reaction

Managers realized that the nerds’ autism could be exploited for profit

I could see it being useful if it was an accessory to your phone. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of something to look it up, or having a push-to-talk badge or pendant would make it more convenient, especially for folks like me who don’t wear watches. And with Bluetooth it would have decent battery life.

But the damn thing can’t even set a timer.

I remember back in the 90s during the Macintosh-Windows flamewars people would frequently make early image edits of Bill Gates as a Borg. Now they’re doing it unironically.

The fact that we only have those options is what’s going to depress turnout enough to let Trump win on a technicality again.

Shithole country.

My neuropathy prevents me from forgetting things like that

You can get the same effect as a new car by buying a used car and then lighting $20,000 on fire when you drive it off the lot.

If it helps I think it’s the one where he gets into a fight with his brother

I know enough history to be used to not being able to vote not to kill children.

Joe Rogan isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of DMT

And in the meantime children die. What a stupid world.

I’m starting to think that this is the rest of society and I’m the one who should leave.

He would be ruthlessly lambasted as an antisemite by the AIPAC-endorsed left and all of the right, and lose the Jewish vote in every swing state, handing the election to Trump in a landslide.

Instead, he’s getting ruthlessly lambasted as a genocider by significant Muslim populations in swing states, losing their vote, and handing the election to Trump in the Electoral College.

They need to get these folks to do commercials for the campaign. Nobody trusts authority or institutions, but seeing real people who have been really helped might make an impact.

Yeah, you tend to learn from those sort of mistakes

Apple has a ton of engineering experience with hinges from their laptop days, and even the old lampshade-style iMac.
