Safe operating temperature must be between -20°C to 50°C.
Pod-launched missiles.
120v/240v compatible.
Whininess module must be installed as I am a fan of whiny girls robots.
Anyone who tattoos the GF Mark 1 is blasted out the airlock.
Decel Degrow
Honestly at this point I wonder if the average American is just inherently too decel and degrowth for it to be fixed. The right is obviously all these things but the modern left is as well. Third solutions are just unviable due to being too small. "Wat do". https://t.co/AInonXETY9

Both parties are decel and degrowth, I agree.
The right’s, “Science is evil if it is disagrees with Big Sky Daddy or the quarterly report and batteries are gay” or the left’s, “We need to take away everything that makes life worth living and space is ‘nerd fantasy'” are both just pathways to ceding the future to someone else.
So that is what is happening and what will continue to happen.
Signal and (Much) Noise
Another thought. I am not dating, but if I were I’d appreciate tattoos as they are a clear and immediate signal of a low-value, impulsive woman.
So they would be a net win for me overall, and for any guy who has something to offer. And I love things like that because they make my life far easier. Costly signals such as tattoos or a filthy place are extremely valuable as you can’t fake nor easily hide them. Win/win.
FFF
All kidding aside, I think ubiquitous tattoos are the worst thing to happen culturally and aesthetically in several hundred years.
Just foul, foul, foul.
Roboflop
God my partner and I really need our own planet. With robots to do everything.
People are a total loss.
Good Right
Also: tattoos probably fuck up your immune system right good and likely lead to a far greater chance of cancer.
So, FAFO I guess.
Intat
When I’m in a hiring position, I’m far less likely to hire someone with tattoos (of either gender).
Perfectly legal, by the way. Why hire someone with demonstrated bad judgment when you could just…not do that?
Delta V
If I were world dictator, I’d ban all tattoos and those who have defaced themselves with those abominations would be sent to the mines — in the asteroid belt.
Tattoos look bad on anyone, but on women in particular they are like smearing shit on a classic painting. Which I guess is part of the point? Regardless, I wouldn’t want to be shit-smeared.
Balt
There is 90% chance Russia invades one or all of the Baltics by the end of 2028. It’s almost certainly gonna happen.
Dirty Dirty
translated from vatnik to english:
russia plans to detonate a dirty bomb on it's own soil and then nuke Ukraine. https://t.co/QmXLzekIUS

I was wondering if something like that would occur; that would be a very Russia thing to do.
Osity
Cosma Shalizi and Ian Welsh are doofclowns of similar pseudointellectual doofosity.
Scar Issue
I don’t think I realized when it began how much Covid would deeply mentally scar people. A lot of people just went frickin’ nuts and never recovered. I knew one personally. Tons more on the internet.
The Covidians really will be ranting about Covid in nursing homes in 50 years and the poor attendants will have no damn idea what they are going on about.
Demonize, You Get Demons
PMC liberal white women seem really surprised that there was a backlash when they spent a decade portraying half the population as default crazed rapists who were both disposable and sorely needed when housework time came around (otherwise, those evil men Schrödinger’s rapists should shut up, we don’t want to hear about your icky feelings).
Hmm. Mysteries never cease.
The backlash was inevitable.
Can Manage It
Nobody is manager at your job at 33. Your parents weren’t managers at their jobs at 33, but you’re baffled at why I said 33 years old is wild to be a Mayor?
It is indeed abnormal.
Y’all please.— aaLuminati 👁 (@SpoiledAaLona) June 25, 2025
I was the equivalent of a supervisor in the army at 21 and ran an entire (small) unit for nearly a year by myself. I was night shift manager of 19 people when I was 24 at a major title insurance company in the US. My team and I handled millions of dollars in business a year.
I was infrastructure manager (with a personal assistant!) when I was 26 for a nationwide organization with hundreds of employees.
Where I work now, one of our best managers is 34 and she’s been there for a year so she was doing it when she was 33.
What the fuck is this mook talking about?
