I did that back in the ‘90s on a TI-85 while everyone else in my class was sideloading Tetris onto their fancy TI-86es and laughing at my poor ass; iirc there was already a function built in for solving polynomials though so not only was I a poor loser, but I also wasted my time

Foxes too, they’re as acrid as skunks are. Lovely creatures, but let’s appreciate them from afar.

You better start believing in huge 3D printers

…you’re in one!

He already had a circlejerk with another poster talking about how China can do it in days (because no osha, you know), and then! said it could also be done more inexpensively by reusing the steel from the collapsed bridge, that, you know, is structurally compromised by the collapse and I can’t imagine the water it’s submerged in is good for its integrity either

[insufferable pedant mode] well no, because it would be the unreal 5 engine then, wouldn’t it

I didn’t know that it was already hashed out before Pratchett died, that’s good

Okay gramgram, let’s get you to beddy-bye

Yes, and that’s where the “it would make zero difference” part comes in. Leaving people well enough alone is so easy, it’s crazy how socially inept these ghouls can be.

Exactly, none of this has any bearing on their lives and odds are enormously in favor of the likelihood that these people will never even meet a trans person—and if they did it would make zero difference to them—so the real solution is to let it the fuck go.

All this talk about living rent-free in people’s minds and all that, yet here we are, you know?

Some cats love it. A couple of ours start licking/chewing air or give us li’l nibbles if they get whacked around the base of the tail. My parents’ cat demands to be bonked around with an empty soda bottle on a daily basis. They’re weird little gremblings, cats.

Goddammit wrong season again

Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos did the Fusion Dance

My wife and I still laugh about this one time, when we were dating in college more than 20 years ago, we were rudely awakened by some pitiful sap wailing out his window, “anyone wanna hump? C’mon, anyone? Wanna hump?” He just sounded so despondent. No pity from me though.

My wife is big time into labradorite. It’s cool as hell, when it catches the light you can see gleams of blue or orange amongst the green. I actually recently got her a labradorite engagement ring and wedding band to replace the cheap, simple silicone ring she wears because of her job that she’ll be leaving in the near future.

Been saying this since the Dobbs leak was announced. They’re going to kill and traumatize people—though it’s certainly safe to say they already have—and they need to be held accountable. I don’t care if they aren’t medical professionals; in fact, that’s one reason they shouldn’t have any say in this in the first place. They should be dragged into abject financial destitution for the harm they are causing.

Exactly, so they aren’t entitled by the Bill of Rights to a platform at all.

Media chased money and maga led them in the right direction. Nothing was broken, it’s going exactly how media wanted.

Ha, sure thing, turbo. More like great way to tell everyone I’m better at managing my money than some o’ y’all, doing the bare minimum of not spending hundreds [with an ‘s’!] of dollars on a make-believe spaceship in an unfinished video game.

I really hope you forgot the /s there because, wa-how.

“Ope, jeepers gosh, looks like you’re still having trouble with it, we can setcha up with a zero negative-interest payment plan there so once yer done makin’ those payments, you’ll get a li’l reward to getcha back on yer feet”

Right? That kind of money goes toward a component of a PC that would have multiple uses—or, hell, for some people, a whole-ass PC, jesus. Not just one part of a game (pronounced like a gun is in Wayne’s World)
