  • Don’t do that. Don’t be the dickhead who stands and blocks everyone. You’re not going to move faster, but you will inconvenience everyone around you. This is stupid. Just be a normal human and wait your turn patiently so others can get their things. The door out is people-sized, and you’ll not extrude others by a few seconds, so sit the fuck down. It’s not about you. It looks like OP is one of these dickheads, standing in the aisle and blaming others for the congestion.

    It’s not about moving off faster than everyone else, because that’s not how this works. Just fucking sit and wait like an adult. It’s not ‘get off the plane’, because you can’t. It’s ‘sit the fuck down’ and stop making it about you.

    e: look at all those people seated in the forward rows, and OP standing in the aisle bunched against the first man in frame. All those seated people will have to wait to access their overheads until OP barges by, but it’s the others standing ahead of OP in the aisle who are the problem. 🙄

  • Neat. There should be a class-action suit by people like me who literally can’t vote in person (disabled, homebound). We can’t vote otherwise.

    This takes away my vote. I’ve no doubt they’ll do this, and we can’t effectively protest against it, so they’ll walk on us like the carpet we are. We literally can’t resist.

  • Why pay when you can blackmail? It’s probably a bit of both, but given trump’s known proclivities and the fact Putin was a KGB agent before he took power, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have even more dirt on trump than the US does.

    Money can be outbid, but blackmail is forever.

    e: and no, we’ll likely never see it. Kompromat loses its value once it’s published.

  • Using ramen for household repairs.

  • Yes, back when you could use a tube tv as a monitor over RF.

    e: mine still works, and I’ve connected my ancient equipment to my newer flat televisions with it.

  • I have to find my UHf dongle, and it looks like I was playing Star Strike the last time, but I will get this running. I have the manual, after all.

  • Check this out:

    This was why I got into programming.

    I still have the book:

    It’s so cool:

    Lemme know if you want to see more. I thought it’s awesome.

  • Bitch

    please.

    (Kidding, you’re not a bitch and this isn’t a contest. But if it was…)

  • Good lord, this has to be the most distracting of all distractions to ever distraction. Amazing.

  • Duh.

  • Would you prefer the police and fire department were privately run?

    It would be the same service, with the same employees and facilities.

  • Gay steampunk. Yeah, pretty spot on. I’m cosplaying this, NEK.

  • No no, that one’s different. Hurricanes are created by making Jesus cry by touching yourself, and you’re not supposed to look into the eye of god.

    So we stop looking by getting rid of NOAA, and we stop the hurricanes by stopping everyone sinning.

    And I’m kinda scared about how plausible that sounds.

  • If we stop testing, the numbers will look better.

    If we fire the statistician, the numbers will look better.

    He did this with his business dealings, too – just fudge the numbers (add square footage that doesn’t exist, underestimate costs and overestimate profits).

    This is a well-tread pattern for this moron. What did anyone expect? He doesn’t care about reality, only that the numbers look good for him.

  • Yeah, but the actual answer is how white are you?

  • Why do you keep throwing away the mice I bring you? I work really hard for those, and we both know they’d overrun the place if I ignored them.

    You’re being a bit rude.

  • I feel like you’re overthinking this. There are people who buy crystal-infused drinking cups to reset their personal feng shui. (Spoiler: it’s just glitter.)

    I really wish I didn’t have morals. It’s so easy to make money if you’re willing to fleece people.

    e: autocorrect

  • Of all the dystopian things, this is probably the most dystopian thing I’ve read lately.

    This is horrible.

  • Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.

    On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?

  • Why use a strongly typed language at all, then?

    Sounds unnecessarily restrictive, right? Just cast whatever as whatever and let future devs sort it out.

    $myConstant = ‘15’;$myOtherConstant = getDateTime();$buggyShit = $myConstant + $myOtherConstant;

    Fuck everyone who comes after me for the next 20 years.
