I've known a guy making predictions using astrology. Then his predictions completely missed COVID, only one of the biggest disruptions in our lives, and never talked about astrology again.

A French women got an English tattoo. The two sentences were full of your/you're and it's/its mistakes.

Most dystopian books are now used as a manual for some politicians and rich a**holes.

The time you enjoy wasting is never wasted time.

And if this was in the first version, everybody would understand. If it's still in version 5, it's by design.

They probably do the marshmallow test on applicants. If they fail the test and lie about it, they go to the printer department.

Next summer is going to be fun if El Nino pattern holds. It would mean that this year with heat domes, forest fires and floods was just the preview and next year is the main event.

Little Bourgeois like to pretend they're rich and imitate the rich because of that. It's why people have lawns in a desert climate and eat way too much meat.

Computers haven't become less efficient. They can still crunch numbers like crazy.

It's the software. Why spend a month making something when you can just download some framework that does what you want in one hour. Sure, it used 10 times as much memory and CPU, but that's still only a 1 second delay with a modern computer and the deadline for release is approaching fast.

Repeat that process often enough and you have a ridiculously bloated mess of layers upon layers of software. Just for fun you can start up some old software and play around with it in an emulator to be baffled how quick it all works on a modern system.

If it's all the responsibility of the families and government support is gone, they should not be surprised if people go back to fraternities, sororities and other social organisations of mutual support. You already see that happening with unions who were historically connected to these organizations. Governments don't like those.

Caffeine keeping you awake at night forcing you to consume large quantities of caffeine to get through the day.

The whole language model scene system started with "we accidently found something that kinda works" and is now in full "somebody please accidently find a way so it uses less power" mode.

No. I'm trolling. But Musk is going so far of the rails it's plausible.

Musk wanted a swastika, but the PR department said hard no. After firing half the department, they still said no and proposed using X instead as it's close enough. Musk had been pretending it was his idea since then.

Spez just copies what daddy Musk does, so give it some time

It's why you keep calling the early bird people at 8pm for work stuff and giving them shit for not working late until they get the message that them calling you at 8am is just as annoying.

It's biology. When winter comes and we switch daylight saving times again, I wake up an hour earlier according to the clock while walking up at the same sun time the entire year.

The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallowed subcategory. He' s got esprit up to here. Right now, he is preparing to carry out his third mission of the night. His uniform is black as activated charcoal, filtering the very light out of the air. A bullet will bounce off its arachnofiber weave like a wren hitting a patio door, but excess perspiration wafts through it like a breeze through a freshly napalmed forest, Where his body has bony extremities, the suit has sintered armorgel: feels like gritty jello, protects like a stack of telephone books.

The Deliverator ' s car has enough potenţial energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator ' s car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens . You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator ' s car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta .

Why is the Deliverator so equipped? Because people rely on him. He is a roll model. This is America. People do whatever the fuck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can fucking stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it -- talking trade balances here -- once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they 're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here -- once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel -- once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity -- y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else:

Republicans blocked Biden's previous attempt to raise the minimum wage so not a lot of use to try again unless there is some more pressure.

It should switch off automatically after you've overtaken the other cars once the car blocking you moves out of the way..
