Turns out ghosts also like corn.

I'm a fan of Анна Ястрежембовская's art, it looks almost real.

Makes sense, as you get older you get more and more disgusted by the weakness of your flesh, and tend to crave the certainty of steel.

I use the nerdfont variant for my terminal, it works rather well.

The "spooky action" is really just the determination of a particle's spin on one side meaning you already know the other particle will have an opposite spin. This probably violates locality because you gain knowledge about something that's non-local from a quantum perspective, even though entangled particles have to start local (there are opposing interpretations, like the de Broglie-Bohm). While in fiction this might suggest that changing the state of one particle simultaneously changes the other, in real life this just means extra information you mathematically shouldn't have, and doesn't really lead to FTL information transmission. What it does mean is that if you want secure communications you can use entangled particles to generate a secret key, determining the spin of them on either side, and you can be sure that they haven't been tampered with and that the other side of the communication will be equal and opposite. It's essentially a one-time pad.

Assuming he was brain dead, at least he probably didn't consciously experience that pain, in spite of whatever involuntary bodily spasms he might've made on life support. The man you knew died painlessly at least, and I hope that brings you some peace.

Isn't the balkanization of the US explicitly part of Russia's goal, and establishment of city-states (or CityCorps) the explicit goal of the dark enlightenment types that Peter Thiel is backing?

I have both, but I also have ADHD and prioritize the novel over the good. I find cilantro and bitter foods to be more interesting, and don't mind them at all.

I'm apparently both the shirtless guy (Gentoo) and the arch user. But I'm also the Kali user and Windows guy occasionally. It probably averages out.

I've had entire dreams in the command line, which was fairly incredible to me at the time because I still couldn't read the characters consistently, and was only taken aback at the strangeness of such after the fact. I had a sense of what the commands meant and I knew what I was doing (hacking the planet), but while I couldn't read it I knew what the output felt like. Dreams are weird.

I think that makes the meme more accurate, it's almost not mansplaining if it's not also subtly but confidently wrong.

Wasn't it because they didn't have any Will? Their entire drive to do anything was completely enslaved by whoever was controlling them: as long as they were controlled by an evil willpower they'd also be evil.

I feel like using quartz as a gastrolith would be pretty basic, like you might as well eat those silica packets or chew on some glass if you're going that direction. Some nice gneiss would likely be preferable, much more cultured at least.

I might be content, but definitely not original, more like a repost at maybe 30% the original pixelation with half a dozen watermarks from various sites with bad crops.

And 30 years after LASIK, you'd be incredibly lucky if your eyes hadn't gotten worse to the point you'd need glasses anyway.

Grandma's memory isn't safe for Rust.

That would take them recognizing her as a woman, which I hope they do but don't think they will with their current base of support.

I'm not the OP, and I don't much care about money so long as I have enough to be relatively comfortable, but I also don't really feel as if I understand the concept of dignity. Why is it meaningful?

The name keeps mutating for some reason.

It's called a skeuomorph, and many times the camera symbol is one too, as most modern cameras don't look like that.
