This is the term I’ve been looking for. Too much wealth is a symptom of serious underlying problems.

Is it always the same random point, or will I sometimes land in the bedroom of a confused and angry Albanian?

Oh no. Maru is like the OG internet celebrity cat. This feels like the end of an era.

Wait, this isn’t even a new competition, and it’s basically resurrected soviet propaganda? Truly bizarre.

That was always the plan, it was just a matter of when. They probably thought they could ride his popularity long enough to do more damage first. Maybe even into the next election cycle to help remove pesky term limits, or until some kind of martial law is in effect.

Bluefin or Bazzite are very streamlined and easy to set up, with all the batteries included. The little you need to learn is more than offset by the convenience.

The pocket is for snacks.

“My favourite genre is grimderp.”

“Do you mean grimdark?”

“I know what I said.”

My god, that’s a lot to process. A couple that stand out:

Comments proposing to use github as the database backup. This is Keyword Architecture, and these people deserve everything they get.

The Replit model can also send out communications? It’s just a matter of time before some senior exec dies on the job but nobody notices because their personal LLM keeps emailing reports that nobody reads.

I don’t usually read sci-fi for laser fights and starship chases, but it feels justified in this one.

That sounds like my mum’s cat. She was a feral, left on the doorstep of the pub.

I just noticed where Australia is… I live in Pangaea’s butthole. Not surprised.

Wait, is that what pansexual means?

My brother in Christ, you are the violence that will not be tolerated.

I hope everyone turns up in clown costumes.

Simon Peyton Jones is about as big an expert on programming languages as you can get, and he’s on the record as saying Excel is a functional programming language.

I’m on the cusp of X and millennial, so I’ve been around plenty of both.

Some X’s have done well for themselves, but those without a bit of luck and assistance have mostly had to give up on big dreams of housing security and family.

Millennials have had it tougher, but many of them still got there, with a bit more luck and assistance.

It’s been a long decline, with the concentration of capital making it harder for most of us every year. The generational divide is just another distraction from class warfare.

Should have been a sack of doorknobs.

Clearly π was equal to 3 in old testament times, but geometry got all screwy when Jesus died for our sines.

Believe it or not, there is precedent for this.
