  • It's a suggestion, not a command. And a bad joke it was yo suggest it. I had way to much hard liquor yesterday.

  • Why not tho. If it's just because of money, I won't protest in the slightest for those morons wanting to

  • Bullshit. We'd be extinct otherwise

  • The similarity is striking, I have to say

  • No no, Big Library just isn't Big enough to stick it to Big IP, so that's why it seems like it even though I know librarians are still much the same.

  • I'm not saying they're not, or that the librarians are any more capitalist than they were in the 90's. I'm just saying it feels like they are.

  • I think she's actually talked about how she'd have been trans if she had been born in a more trans-friendly age.

    Like you also theorise, maybe that's what making her so mad, other trans people getting to have lives outside the closet when she was too afraid to.

    Oh wait you had that in there

    She has even said that she wished she was a boy.

    My bad read it too fast

  • And apparently Gene Roddenberry wasn't an entirely perfect human being either.

  • I mean, yeah, sure, I guess that's a decent solutions in terms of modern IP shit.

    But like, we all know you're not returning anything and if you wanted, you could also copy it for yourself.

    I just dislike how it feels like when it was actually books, they had actual reasons to everything. There's a queue because there's limited copies. You need to return it and if you're late there's a fee, because it's from other people's time, etc. Nowadays that all feels like larping just to protect large companies IP's essentially. Because digital copies don't actually get returned.

    Like when I was a kid I would've never thought a librarian would say "you're not allowed to read that anymore". Or that I couldn't copy a thing down at home from one of their books. But now as your tokens to ebooks expire, it kinda does feel like that.

  • How do you return a borrowed ebook..?

  • Huh. I, on the other hand, have weirdly intrusive thoughts with smaller blades, like a kitchen blender or an uncovered fan, but a helicopter doesn't faze me. Although can't say I've ever been in one, but I've been very close by.

    Anyway when blending shit I sometimes have intrusive thoughts. I don't think I'd have a garbage disposal like I see in the movies. They're probably not even allowed here in Finland, and my laziness would want one, but my accident-prone-ass knows I probably shouldn't get one even if I could.

    I once bought a mandolin for my kitchen. Here's Jeremy Clarkson demonstrating what happens to everyone who buys their first mandolin without having read the stories.

  • On a related note, may I suggest "No such thing as fish" as a podcast? From QI-producers been going on since the episode with "no such thing as fish" thing

  • I was in three separate supermarkets at least. Easter here as well, obvs, but most stores are open. I tried looking for easter candies, as I wanted specific choccie eggs, and despite Easter not even being technically over yet, no-one had any.

    They come to the stores like 2 months before Easter and the day of Easter they vanish like Jesus from the cave.

    Pic related it's the type of egg I was looking for. They're solid chocolatenougat in real eggshell. Handmade. Recipe is from like the 1800's.
