Imp Prison

Red states are going to become such hellholes. Everyone thinks I’m exaggerating but it’s gonna be very, very bad. A lot of them will be essentially large open-air impoverished authoritarian prisons in 10-20 years.

Leave now. Not “when things get bad.” Then it’s already too late. Now is the time.

Vile Ents

It’s weird that all men are seen by women as default violent and dangerous when all I personally have ever done is defend women against violence and have never intentionally harmed a woman who wasn’t extremely violently attacking me with intent or potential to greatly harm or kill me — and even then, I held way, way back in a way that I never would have with a man.

Too many women see men as ever-violent sex robots and that really kinda sucks.

Status Quo

Remember things like this when clown-ass types like Quantian tell you that people now have it better than ever:

Also this:

But sure, everything has never been so great. When I was 18, a friend of mine rented a small apartment working full-time for near minimum wage at a Blockbuster. You could not do that anywhere now. Not even close.

Challenger

Good tanks. Not as good as the Abrams (fire control and targeting particularly is not great), but much, much cheaper to operate. They’ll shred any Russian tanks very easily.

Lost Gen

Where y’all Covidians at who told us this “wasn’t happening?” Or even worse, that it didn’t matter because…reasons.

Socio Gen

Agreed. I think Long Covid is real, too, but probably 60-70% of cases have no physical cause because it’s a result of mental trauma and is sociogenic primarily. Thus, no physiological or pharmacological treatment will work that well.

Lash

Indeed. The experience of computing in general has regressed greatly in the last decade. It’s now disturbingly terrible. Tech people like to lie and say it’s for “security” and “for your own good” but that’s just flimflam concealing what’s really happening: the soul of computing was sold to predatory capitalism and there is no going back now.

Volumetric

It is in fact very easy to make two meals that are visually similar, but one has 1,200 calories and the other has 500. Hint: butter, oil, lard, any source of fat, and more protein too. Laughably easy to do. Same appearance and volume but vastly different energy content.

Strain

Work-From-Home Era Ends for Millions of Americans.

Told ya MBAs were going to can WFH ASAP. They really, really hated it and it’ll only persist for some tech people like me who have skills too rare to attempt to constrain. The end of WFH will harm productivity, reduce family formation, increase fossil fuel use and in general hurt America — but that don’t matter as long as some petty MBA can feel a sense of power over others.

Because an aggrieved MBA’s hurt wittle feewings is what really matters in this country.

Harder

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was slightly harder today. Took me three guesses and 1.5 minutes. Got lucky with the first guess; having a letter in the right position already makes it 1,000xย  easier. This cuts down the possibility space immensely.
