  • I feel this with every fibre of my soul.

    Alternately, would be nice to find a debug console....

     
        
    while gini.coefficient > 0.2:
       for perp in get_top_percent(1):
         perp.teleportLocation("Mars Base", {resources: "humble"})
         perp.setWorldDesignation("Deceased")
       sleep(30, "days")

  • I dream sometimes of all the regressives in the world getting into a rocket ship and blasting off for some fantasy Planet B, leaving the progressives behind to clean up the mess.

    And we do, and it's terrible, but slowly the world heals.

    Then the regressives realize that Planet B is too far away, and that Earth is actually faring pretty well now, and they try to come back.

    When we don't let them set foot on Earth, they promise to nuke us from space, and then there's this standoff with them in orbit pointing a weapon at the only place that can support their progeny.

  • merci

  • There's a nice short story I once read about how when people reach their 70s, they develop psychic powers and join a brotherhood/sisterhood of psychics consisting of every elderly person on the planet keeping the horrors of space at bay.

    These horrors manifest as nightmares targeted at children, but the elderly fight the mental battles for them every night. The battles are hours long, mentally taxing, and the wounds manifest the next day as a slow crawl towards Dementia.

    Anyway, this comic reminded me of that before I undestood the sex stuff

  • How do you pronounce her name?

    Seh-rees?Che-ree-seh?

  • Ah. Damn. I liked Schwimmer. Oh well

  • I like to watch BBC archive videos from the 60s-80s, and so much of it is relatable to today: angst about Russia, the US, China; cost of housing, and groceries; the horrible job landscape; government overreach and under-regulation

    I really think that we as a species havent changed that much over the last 10,000 years

  • Palestine not mentioned once there. Cant work out if he's pro or not

  • I really thought you were talking about Elder scrolls, and was wondering how Khajiit would be censored ("haji"?) before my dyslexia kicked out

  • Very tiny grain - I feel like Doyle was a bit of a dreamer who was easily misled by confident adults and even children

  • Doyle observed that Bell seemed to be able to diagnose patients from little information, noticing minute details: "Dr Bell would sit in his receiving room, with a face like a Red Indian, and diagnose people as they came in, before they even opened their mouths. [...] He would tell them their symptoms and even give them details of their past life, and hardly ever would he make a mistake." This ability led Doyle to model his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes on Bell.

  • I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.

    Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can't drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don't sleep at midnight.

    Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It's a losing battle. It's also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I'm doing, which isn't very much. I wonder if it was just the caffeine all along

  • It's like RAAAAAIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN

  • Was it reproduced

  • They're adjacent

  • This has "Rachel, go long" energy

  • That was... crushingly disappointing. If the intended audience was kids, I feel like they've lost a comedy war they didnt even know they were part of.

    This is a sad day.

    I'm going to bed.

  • I stand by my derogative statements

  • Ho, and Alternate Ho?
