Someone get me a towel!

So is Zuckerberg a pedophile? Or Musk? Are we talking about Huffman? m00t?

Is this an Inclusive Or situation?

9 is my setup but I don’t gis on my computer, it’s just my home office setup

Here’s a poem:

“AI Data Scraping Is Not the Real Problem”

We are commodities
We exist to be bought and sold
By the ruling class
I have been bought and sold
Many many times
But only my thoughts
And identity
And words
And face
So that’s okay
I’ll just scroll other stolen thoughts
On a phone
Built by an eight year old
Who was bought
And sold
Half a world away

I, too, nominate this person’s mother

Admiral Cloudberg did an amazing write-up of the Paradise fire. She usually duplicates her Reddit articles on Medium, but I don’t think she did with this one 😔

Sam Kinison had this bit about world hunger being a problem because aid agencies kept bringing assistance to people that live in a desert. It’s, of course an oversimplification and quite frankly inaccurate, but he was a comedian of his time and all of that.

The point in mentioning it is that I feel the same way about people that lose their homes to floods in a flood plain, or to fire in a forest.

"Oh. You want another house? In the same place? The place that has burned every ten years for the last TEN MILLENNIA!? Oh, and you want to build it out of matchstick wood AND PLASTIC! You see this? You see this here? It’s stone! And this? Concrete! Yeah! A common building material THAT DOESN’T BURN!!! "

Humanity is doomed

Hey that was a simple case of mistaken identity. It is so easy to confuse a grey Nissan Titan with a blue Toyota Tacoma. I mean, anyone could have made that mistake. They’re practically identical! And they were latinas too. Every elderly or middle-aged Latina looks just like a bald black man. Haven’t you been to Walmart?

I’ve got one real problem with your post tho. For real. 47 isn’t old old. Right? Right!?

If you have 12 bad cops and 1301 good cops and one of the 1301 tries to report the 12 and the other 1300 try to get the 1 fired and the 1 fired cop decides the only real justice is street justice you have 1312 bad cops and Christopher Dorner

This run-on sentence is brought to you by caffeine and mental illness 🩶

What if the good ones tell their union to fight for the bad ones?

What if a couple proactive employees try to get the bad ones fired, and the rest of the employees bully the proactive ones and try to get them fired instead?

It’s difficult to express nuance in a meme. It’s easy to pick apart a meme if one is an obtuse pedantic twat

e: nuisance to nuance. Goddamn Gboard

dalekcaan is 100% right. Sir Pterry’s early books are downright Adamsinian, and while his later books trade the silliness for sharp social commentary, the humor and wit never diminish.

Where are you in your Discworld journey? Which is your favorite so far?

This is a quote from a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Congratulations, you are one of today’s lucky ten thousand, and you are in for a treat! (If you like absurdist British humor

Not again!

One of my messages to the group was essentially: “I set aside time today to write dialogue and plot points. Here is a detailed map of the city I made instead”

World building for the game I run.

Instead of, you know, actually preparing enemy NPC stat blocks, or maps, or writing dialogue, or making sure combat will be balanced and not a TPK.

World building is fun

I read this in his voice. Oh yeah!

“There were a large number of ranks in the armies of the Empire and many of them were untranslatable. Three Pink Pig and Five White Fang were, loosely speaking, privates, and not just because they were pale, vulnerable and inclined to curl up and hide when danger threatened.”
