You are under “Virtual Arrest”!
Oh noes! Then I will do virtually nothing.
But I will laugh a lot if anyone attempts this shit on me.
Amusing
Scalzi Brigade
Did not expect the left to so quickly switch to full copyright maximalism. They turned on a damn dime. Still wrong, no matter which side believes stupid shit.
On Staying
I hate when people write “bare with me” instead of “bear with me.” I’m quite comfy, thanks. I’m not a prude but my clothes are staying on.
Ladderal Move
I’ve had enough! I’m done with this life!
Checking
People on r/scams crack me up sometimes.
At least they’re checking I guess, but they can get an email from “russianscam@scammy.net” that links to a website called iwillstealyourmoney.com and then post, “I got this email. Is it a scam? I can’t tell for sure.”
Hmm, I wonder.
ITM
I want to listen to a band called “Inadequate Transversal Mechanism.” I bet they’d be good.
Walker
Milkwalker is the future and the past. Milkwalker stands at both ends of time, changeless and omnipotent. Milkwalker cannot be known, but can only be sensed in the liminal interstices of the mind, always just beyond comprehension. Milkwalker knows all, sees all, is all.
Lake Ontario Is
Not sure why the bottom is cut off, but that’s the way I found it.
And this would be a better set of first date questions than most I’ve been on, for sure. The most fuckable Great Lake is definitely Lake Ontario, though. It’s half-Canadian, so it has a slight hint of exoticism, but it’s still safe (won’t steal your car, will say “sorry” a lot).
Here’s a good song and video about the vapidity of first date conversations (en Français):
Beo
I need a damn Beowulf cluster for all the tabs in all the browsers I have open. No browser can handle my voracity for information. They all fall over on their pitiful asses. I need more powah.
RTOyo
I love making recruiters Big Mad when they email me some busted-ass in-office position and I tell them that because I am very awesome, I will accept only remote roles pitched at me. They get all twisted up because they know I’m juicy and have rare certs/skills and they want to land me. I’m a big fish these days for those types.
That said, I’m not actually looking for a job but like fucking around with the jackals. It’s amusing at times. And one day, some company will call my bluff and offer me some insane pay package with full WFH and I’ll take it.
But till then…let the games continue.

Why the fuck do I have dreams in languages I am actually not that good at speaking? Cool, cool, let’s have a dream with me speaking Spanish poorly. Thanks, brain, that was fun.
Lucia
That’s…actually kinda sweet.
Shape of the Possible
For some reason I can’t stop thinking about how often people on Reddit (and other places) are fervently insistent that things are “impossible” that have already been occurring for years. I can’t help but feel that has some sort of meaning, is some sort of indicator of both a disconnection from reality and that it’s just difficult to stay apprised of what’s occurring in such a rapidly-changing world.
It’s mystifying that those types are so insistent about it when it’d take all of two minutes of research to show that that they are wrong. For instance, it’s a common Reddit trope to declare that voice cloning is impossible or that it takes an enormous quantity of samples. But I went to Speechify, gave it 30 seconds of a sample reading and it cloned my voice 95% accurately. It’d pass just fine over a crappy cell phone and anyone would be fooled.
I just am having trouble getting past the fact that things that are now trivially easy so many people are strangely rabid about their impossibility.
