That whole bit is SO GOOD. Everything from bang the rocks together, worst dressed sentient being, best bang since the big one, culminating in Zaphod’s jist zis guy, you know? 😂

It’s right up there with the ‘space, it says, is big’ and might even be better than the bit about the marketing division of the sirius cybernetics corporation.

Nup! It’s the only thing that keeps me going. It helps me get out of bed and fills me with hope and purpose.

That’s the best horse name ever! Definitely not something i expected to see while browsing a three day old non-monogamy shitpost.

It just won’t happen. Our institutions are weak and very subject to outside influence. Everyone in the world can see it.

If our corrupt oligarchs allow an election, the next president will still have to deal with their financial power, the private electronic surveillance state they control, their overwheming control of our very corrupt court system, etc.

If the dems were interested in fixing the problem it would take focused effort over multiple terms. The dems are not interested in fixing the problem. This is just who we are as a nation-state.

Lol the gizmodo article about the preview of mythos has this incredible openly line:

If Anthropic is kind of like a kid at a Halloween party with a bowl full of spaghetti, telling its blindfolded friends the spaghetti is brains, European cyber agency leaders are like kids who are mad that they still haven’t gotten to stick their fingers in the brain bowl

Anthropic in particular seems to use “we’re scared of what we can do” as their marketing strategy. So maybe this unauthorized use is real, or maybe it’s just more PR.

If there’s one thing fascism has taught us, the two are hardly mutually exclusive.

I find that being made aware of my mistakes helps me be more diligent in the future, so i’d want to know.

Given that bluesky was hit a few days ago, could be a threat actor gauging the defenses/responses of 2nd tier targets. I wouldn’t put it past musk to use ddos to generate bad press for non-x socials either.

Plenty of ways this could be worth someone’s resources even if complete take down isn’t on the table.

Seasons 3-8 are generally considered “golden age” simpsons. Theres a lull for a few seasons where it gets very patchy, then it kinda enters a long silver age where episodes are fairly consistently good, with few poor ones and even fewer universally agreed upon greats.

Many fans completely ignore 9+. Others argue where sliver age begins.

The ratings only show the golden age and then slowly declining popularity, because popularity is only ever a loose proxy for quality.

Agreed!

Yeah i can understand that others enjoy it, but even a poker night with friends sounds unpleasant to me - like a game night ruined.

I always describe gambling as non-alcoholic vodka.

It just does nothing for me and leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

Billy bragg has a great song about the twin cities. It’s a spin on that “first they came for” poem, but instead of the “and i said nothing because…” bit it has “so I got in their face!”

Cringe title, reposting untruths, that username and it’s a first post.

It’s not real. A delivery person wouldn’t get to the door of the oval office. And almost certainly an aide grabs the bag, though the fast food delivery obsessions is partly about security paranoia, so maybe he is paranoid enough to grab the bag.

I do think it’s a bad idea, even as someone who saves sex for committed relationships.

• A lifelong commitment to a potentially disappointing physical relationship doesn’t seem like a great plan.
• Before sex, there’s a lot of incentive to present your best self. Afterwards people are a more comfortable presenting more of who they are.
• You learn a lot about someone’s priorities, self-control, receprocity, hang ups, etc.

But if it works for you, don’t let others talk you out of it.

Even sad af persian cuisine is gonna be pretty amazing.

This is for shitposting, not whingeposting.

Who’s afraid of virginia woolf at portland playhouse.

It was incredible, as that play always is. The male lead outperformed the female lead, which i feel is less common than vice versa, but everyone was great.

Don’t ask

Ughhhh

It goes…

Well i’m here (for work related garbage)
