A Real Piss of Work
North Florida, many of them.
Back Down
It amazes me that people claim to have all this “vital” stuff and got no backups anywhere. How the fuck do you have no fucking backups? Just blows my mind that people believe, “It’s in the cloud, it’s all good, nothing could ever happen.”
Back up your shit, people! Or I can almost guarantee that over a long enough time span you will lose all your data.
(Also, don’t click on random weird PDFs. Why would you do that?)
Years
Men at what age did you think you really matured and grew up?
Ten years old, when I realized I was going to have to fight for everything and against nearly everyone, and do my own thing, and ignore everyone’s criticism and hatred of me if I wanted to make it in life.
So that’s exactly what I did. And I fucking rocked it.
No Ticket to Ride
It really is shocking how much stuff like this costs now — entertainment is becoming the province of the upper middle class and above. So is housing and food, really (no matter what Noah Smith says).
Toxicity
Wow! Those kids really nailed a very hard song.
Maker
The first ten on today’s playlist:
Walled Off
The cake my wife ordered from walmart.
Her first mistake was ordering a cake from fucking Walmart.
No, no, her first mistake was to be born to grow up to do some shit like order a cake from Walmart. Blech.
Bloom Filter
Why do people in the late 90s and early 2000s, look so greasy in photos and in movies?
That’s not greasy — that’s just how people look before the filters and photoshop fuckery (and film equivalent) that is applied to everyone now. Women also tended to use less makeup back then so they looked a bit more natural as well.
Now the real is unrecognized and the algorithmic pseudohuman simulated counterfeit cybernetic caricature is what everyone perceives as the actual. Baudrillard would not be surprised. But I am saddened that so many minds are filled with nothing but the spew and spume of algorithmic machinations and manipulations.
It’s unseemly to allow it, but so many do.
Manacle
Computers have gone from bicycles of the mind to manacles of the mind. And all of you bought into it with propagandists telling you it was for “security” and “for your own good.”
And you deserve what you get. But I don’t.
Saved
Employees Spend $51 A Day Of Own Money To Work In Office Versus Remote.
Yep. I estimate working remotely has saved me something like $20,000 the last few years, including car maintenance, food, gas and other related costs.
Drumline
You can see how good an actor Cara Gee is because she is absolutely nothing like her character Drummer. Completely different voice, mannerisms, movement and personality.
Compare and contrast:
“Oye, Beltalowda!” I am so glad they kept the Belter argot in the show. She’s so good that if I only knew her as Drummer, I would not recognize her on the street at all.
Who Said
When I was a kid in the 1980s, I think my grandfather summed up Dr. Who the best: “People dressed weird running through corridors endlessly.”
That was pretty much the show back then.
The Usual
New Law Requires People Who Publicly Announce They Need To Take A Piss To Register As Sex Offenders.
Even The Onion has recognized society is getting way more prudish.
All y’all were way wrong. As usual.
Terminal
Would you date a sickly person with life expectancy of 50?
If they had no tattoos and we otherwise matched well, yes. It isn’t about the time you have but how you spend it together. We’re all terminal cases, after all.
