when the WE'RE SO BACK / IT'S ALL OVER LFO moves into the audible range

every day i look for the answer to the age-old question "what if i just stared off into space for 6-12 hours instead of doing anything at all?" no closer to the truth despite years of research...

every book with fucking in it is a monsterfucker book because humans are the real monsters

When I tell a learner to put away a tool and reject their arguments for why it's necessary it isn't because they're too stupid. It's because tools of convenience are inherently less powerful and flexible than their own minds and inhibit their ability to reach the point where they can achieve that.

having to think of stuff for interns to do is twenty times harder than just doing the tasks you assign to them. can't you just sit there and play on your ipad

That the Dem equivalent of Q just pretends to be a rank-and-file employee of the Park Service is actually a great bit. Can't sum up the liberal and conservative fantasies of power any better than that.

And is the media illiterate crowd that cannot engage with anything but the base layer with us in the room right now?

right about now, the snart helg brother

I used to buy fresh raspberries and then put off eating them because "just eating them wasn't special enough" (what???) but then they would go moldy and I couldn't enjoy them at all!! So now I eat the raspberries! Light the fancy expensive candle! Stick the stickers you're hoarding! USE THE STUFF

*Guilty Gear announcer voice* Victory Royale! Number, one. Get DOWN!

people always come groveling into the conversation with their "i only use it for" because they want to use it but they also want to be told they are good and special and their reasons are pure so it doesn't count. yall can miss me with that shit

"We have SETI at home" SETI at home:

Never even seen the guy be anything but OOC. Thought the "swift" was just, like, an adjective, that they were reporting on security in a timely fashion.

Should a they/them paparazzo be referred to as "paparazzi"?

There aren't cathedrals everywhere.

when gamer Scheherazade appeared in this comic I damn near lost my mind

Fire fighters destroy property to save lives, cops destroy lives to save property.

(on my computer, typing to another guy who's also on the computer) Go outside nerd. Get off the computer

Anytime I hear "we disagree on a lot but he's a phenomenal writer" the writing is garbage. Every time. It's always "he," too.

Mainstream media: "why is there so much empathy for the CEO shooter? White dude." They aren't missing the point, they are purposely distracting from the point.

and honestly once you get them mad about broadband policy and consumer protection, the more angry they get about the dire stuff, like climate change and foreign policy. like now that you know these assholes hate isp privacy and love expensive smartphones suddenly the big stuff feels real.

Witness the beginning of a #DarkUniverse.

The most important need for societal collaboration is reversing climate change. The second most important is getting weird al an EGOT

The degree to which every failure mode of online discourse was 100% present on BBSs in the ‘80s is one of my obsessions. “Guy who doesn’t accept that words have generally accepted meanings”? Oh yeah, had him. “Unstoppable sea lion” you bet etc etc. self-similarity of the troll function

There are people working jobs like this all over the country, giving themselves worry ulcers, eating lunch at their desks because they haven't got time to go out -- gotta send 5 emails before the weekend.

There’s nothing like walking into Mario's Westside Market, grabbing an iced Zero Malarkey, chopping it up with members of the Congressional Black Caucus + appreciating the Rep who’s blasting “Only The Young” through her phone speaker. In this small moment, nothing else matters. Today is a good day.

Don’t UWU fingertip “I don’t know if I’m good enough to charge 5 whole dollars for a sketch” because people come to you for what you do, they’ve seen what you do.

"Every discord has that one asshole", no, you're just cowards who won't ban someone for being a dick. Grow up!!!

it's actually kind of normal for a 5 year old to be able to read a children's book, maybe logged-out youtube wasn't the pre-k substitute you thought it was

It feels like we live in a time where pretty much all the software we interact with reached its peak at some point in the past and nothing is being improved, and we're all just hoping not to lose the things we now depend on and have given up hope on anything being improved.

I think before we get too caught up in what Bluesky should or shouldn’t be we should soberly acknowledge what it is: a retirement home for 2000s forum millennials

Electric cars are important to decarbonization, but they've received disproportionate funding and attention compared to electric rail, even though we need to reduce VMT by 25% by 2030 to meet climate goals. CA policymakers must make rail electrification a priority!

who tf called it "mass storage" and not "tabernacle"

When I like a mutual's NSFW selfie I mean it in the sense of like standing on the sidelines of the soccer game sternly clapping and saying good hustle good hustle

in 2024 no link from any web page should ever open my mail program for me! browsers should handle mailto: links by copying the email address to the clipboard!!!

the future will be incredible. i'm looking forward to proving i'm a human so i can talk to a robot

As they say, the leftist power of prediction is being able to remember and notice things, which everyone else thinks is cheating

BOSS: Hey we're getting lunch from Fatass Frankie's Big Fucking Monster Dong Subs. Want anything? YOU: Sandwich #6, please. BOSS: (reading menu) Yikes. Not what I would choose *at work*, guy.

alphas are so annoying "oh no the ps5 turns 30 tomorrow" "shadow puppetry cannot match the emotional depth of anna's vampire resurrection" shut up about dead world artifacts and get on the bike, the water ain't gonna filter itself

It's audiophile baby's first semi-technical gripe. They halfway learn one thing about mastering, then they rant about The Loudness War for the rest of their lives without ever learning anything else, because it makes them feel smart.

I mean this is exactly why I don't care about TikTok getting my info. everyone else already has it anyway. im far more concerned about what the us government would do with my info than what the Chinese or any other foreign government would do with it.

Dude figured out how to use depth charges to sink submarines in the pacific but couldn't figure out the internet. Can't wait to see what my version of this is gonna be.

It’s my birthday and also I get to announce my Daria poster that I got to work on with Mondo that’s releasing in two days. Those are the birthday rules.

It's instructive to compare the mythological version of the "Basket of Deplorables" speech to the actual remarks, which were exactly the kind of "we must understand the valid roots of Trump support" argument that everyone ever since has insisted that nobody else has been wise enough to make

Pride is not “We want you to like us”. Pride is “We exist despite your disapproval”.
