Putting a gun barrel on the top of our volcanoes and just randomly waving it around at other countries lol i love it
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 1 week ago:
Yeah and slightly off topic wasn’t the pic of Helens blowing its top taken by a man who knew in advance the explosion would kill him and protected his film? Am i thinking of the right story?

Paving over all of Yellowstone is the only right answer.

I’m still angry about my waterproof Bluetooth headphones i bought to do laps.
- Comment on fucking beautiful. almost a year into the 'verse and its starting to become more functional than that R place... better than i imagined. 3 weeks ago:
Good i miss that too. Have you tried something like hoverzoom to fill the gap? That’s what i did anyway and it works for all sites not just reddit. It feels like a core browser functionality to me now
- Comment on No Tech for Apartheid: Google Workers Arrested for Protesting Company’s $1.2B Contract with Israel 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. I didn’t mean to imply after was the goal but rather a common side-effect of real protest
- Comment on No Tech for Apartheid: Google Workers Arrested for Protesting Company’s $1.2B Contract with Israel 3 weeks ago:
It’s not a protest if it doesn’t inconvenience who you’re protesting. All real protesters are arrested, because they inconvenience power (who have but the way made all inconvenient protests illegal).
- Comment on World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés says Israel targeted staff in Gaza 'car by car' 5 weeks ago:
But it’s kinda nice when we pretend it can get better by voting instead of just “probably worse”. I miss the heady days of “hope and change” lies. Those were tasty, memeable lies. Now we only get promises that the other side will whip us “way harder”. This fantasy is harder to get behind (pun intended).
- Comment on Discord is adding adverts "in the coming week" 5 weeks ago:
I can’t even join in many communities without verifying my phone number and discord knows about the spoofers, so i already can’t use it. (Fuck giving them my phone number) I’ve been waiting for everyone else to jump ship so I’m not in the ocean alone

Ok! Oh boy I’m excited! I would love to hear what you think, i don’t get to talk to anyone about wolfs rain… It has the greatest OP in the world (and you think you know what i mean by that, but you don’t). You won’t understand what i mean until you watch it to the end.
- Comment on Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker 1 month ago:
have you seen quotes that the victims would want/need this corroboration? (Not trying to argue, just asking) If I’m understanding this correctly bad actors could use this to identify victims and “epstein” em, so i can see why Lisa Bloom would be worried.
- Comment on Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker 1 month ago:
Yeah, where’s the beef? If they have location data of the pedophiles can’t they share what they have? With the police as well? I got the same feeling you did… Trying to play devil’s advocate, the most charitable reason i can think of that they’re being so coy is the location data implicates people with the power to crush them.

Wolfs rain is an overlooked gem about wolves and a girl at the end of the world. It was the next project the storyboard director from evangelion went on to work on iirc, one of studio bones first projects and fantastic music by yoko kanno throughout. Every character in it both good and “bad” has a motive, has a reason for their actions, and is wonderfully fleshed out. It plays a bit with character archetypes and how they break down when they are actually real people, reminiscent of EVA. Wolf’s Rain is also on my short-list of great animes that also finish well.
You will cry through. Oh yes.
Imma go watch it again

- Comment on xkcd #2905: Supergroup 1 month ago:
So the joke is they added up a list of bands with numbers in their names to get 176? I dunno if it’s just me but that seems profoundly, purposely unfunny. But I’m also not smart enough to get most of xkcds jokes so it really is probably just me
