- Comment on CRANKIN' MAH HAWG!!! 1 week ago:
It’s a parody of overserious memes that are trying to sound edgy and badass. The archetype is a gun-wielding skeleton that’s riding a motorcycle and saying something about thin blue lines, but wolves and other imagery are also adjacent.
Instead, THE_PACK takes that aesthetic, cranks it up to 12, and adds some silly text. Everyone is role-playing as a skeleton that’s obsessed with motorcycles (hogs). You have to TALK IN ALL CAPS to be heard over the engine noise. And everyone’s friendly and welcoming in a way that edgelords aren’t.
A few great examples from the last year or so:

Incentives like this are tricky. You can reduce the numbers by fixing the problem, or by sweeping it all under the rug. Guess which is easier to do on a quarterly basis?

My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.
If it’s really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it’s perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.
In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

Yes, the high latency and intermittent connectivity is a big challenge. Delay tolerant networking (DTN) is one good way of solving this problem.

Um, actually it should be “That’s us”, since Borg never refer to themselves in the singular until Hugh goes and ruins everything.

- Comment on 'Signal tests usernames to avoid using phone numbers.' Great move? 7 months ago:
I remember when Signal used to be a drop-in replacement for SMS. It used phone numbers so you could automatically upgrade to secure messaging if your recipient also had Signal, and just use regular SMS otherwise.
- Comment on The memes, they got me 7 months ago:
This is outrageous. Where are the images with humorous text? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Risa. You post text like that, they put you in meme. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Killing Tuvix, we have a special meme for Tuvix. You are Kevin? Right to meme. You are drinking coffee: right to meme, right away. You undercook leola root? Believe it or not, meme. You overcook leola, also meme. Undercook, overcook. We have the best treks in the galaxy because of meme.

This 100%. In Star Trek, it’s easy to make intelligent life by accident: Badgey, Exo-Comps, Lore, Wesley’s unnamed nanites. The hard part is keeping them from taking over the ship and killing all the organics.
