You just know our empire was doomed when we decided it wasn’t worth the trouble to go to space, that weighing 400 pounds was healthy, and that women and biology aren’t real.
Yep, status == fucked.

Printing Terror
Our HP printer hasn’t been working for a month and every manner of troubleshooting, resets, changing ink cartridges, didn’t seem to work. After calling HP, they said the debit card on file had expired so they manually disabled our printer.
In unrelated news, I’m now radicalized

This is how people become terrorists.
Fantasyland
Every viral covid tweet is like:
The new variant is more contagious than MEASLES and it kills AND disables 99% of everyone it infects
BUT a few government officials could EASILY eradicate it if they would just [do 1 thing that we’ve already tried that definitely wouldn’t work]

She’s 100% right. I see lib fantasyland shit like this all the time now. I wonder, do they really believe it or is it just virtue signaling? I think many really are true believers.
Witness
One of the few things I didn’t understand about getting older is how often younger people will tell you things “didn’t happen” or “could never happen like that” when you were literally there and witnessed them occur.
In the Wild
Eating meat is “racism” and “white supremacy” will be the forthcoming propaganda tagline from overlords
If you’re “anti racist” you’ll embrace eating bugs
Expect thinkpieces on the racist history of eating meat and colonization, etc etc

I disagree with AJAC on a whole, whole lot, but I think he’s totally right about this. I’ve already seen this out there in the wild.
I think this is largely happening so that the rich can preserve their access to meat and actual nutritious food while making money off the poor at the same time. Makes perfect sense, when you think like a Machiavellian. Or a billionaire.
Twang
The first ten on today’s playlist:
All OS
The reality is that both major mobile OSes have the problem below. They don’t want you to be able to access your own files without them in the middle. That’s why there is no real file manager. That is a deliberate strategy, but the rubes buy that it is for “security.” Because they are fucking rubes.
Weight It Out
So the impossible is possible. (I did it myself, though not as much weight.)
Bennies
I think a problem I have with comprehending the modern prudishness is what’s the reward? What do people get out of it? It seems to me there has to be some benefit somewhere, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is.
Perhaps the perceived anchorite appurtenances are it, but I just have trouble thinking like that.
Is Bad
Russia: "We're telling you openly for the millionth time the invasion is about seizing territory and erasing Ukraine and Ukrainian culture. We've also kidnapped a million Ukrainians and murdered tens of thousands more!"
People: "Ah, yes, I hear you: NATO is bad."— Dr. Ian Garner (@irgarner) July 20, 2022
That does seem to be the script running in a lot of people’s heads. Doofuses abound.
So Mal
The ozone hole and acid rain. Two things that were LITERALLY fixed by science-led, globally-coordinated, long-term international concrete action.
It's like being held hostage by the world's stupidest serial-killer. The mental pain is actually worse. pic.twitter.com/yoU6kWy1q2

Damn, it is so fucking odd that people believe that problems we fix were not real problems. How do you think so poorly? How is your brain so malfunctional? It just makes no sense.
