I mean, a little. It’s far easier to sell someone on less than half a million than on more than half a million.

shipping container size
That’s far smaller than I expected. I also don’t imagine it will be cheap. If they manage to make it less than $100,000 then I’ll be baffled. Less than $500,000 and I’ll be excited for the possibilities in my lifetime.

Legit question. Can the ring influence targeting computers over long distances? Or modern llms?

They’re interesting premises and easily understood. I can’t knock smith for choosing them. You never know what’ll end up on the editor’s floor. There might have been a better cut somewhere in there

Were I raped as an infant by an immortal who would eventually go on to become an avid twitter user, I wouldn’t kill millions of people, but I would certainly think about it.

Ah, I gotcha now. Yeah, it’s definitely just goatse+1 penis. The spout and sink aren’t even reminiscent of any plumbing I’ve ever seen.

I mean, it’s legit in that the sticker exists. Whether there was an uproar over the sticker’s usage, which I believe seems unlikely, I smell something fishy.
The modern internet is such a weird place. A gypsy market within a library housing a compendium of games. I don’t love it.

After searching around for a bit, and finding only a single Etsy listing for this sticker, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is an ad for that overpriced sticker.
- Comment on Tesla registrations crash 17% in Europe as BEV market surges 14% 4 days ago:
I don’t mean to be a pessimist, but Tesla doesn’t care about car sales. Their chief moneymaker is selling Tesla tokens to Wall Street, which do not correlate with Tesla’s company performance in any meaningful way.
- Comment on sfw cat trend 4 days ago:
That is one of the most sinister looking cats I’ve ever seen. That cat needs therapy, an exorcism, and a straight jacket. I’ve never owned a cat, I know next to nothing about them, and yet primal fear ran through me the instant I laid eyes on it.

Could you imagine having to take your thousand dollar fursuit head to a shop for repairs after only a few outings? I’d be pissed.

Just don’t credit me, I’m pretty sure I plagiarized it in part from elsewhere

We are killing less. And overwhelmingly so. If you don’t count faceless, recontectualized packaged cow, chicken, and pig meat. We’re also still pretty good about keeping our close group alive, but medicine men, insurance, and numbers over 100 are a strictly cultural practice not cemented within our genetic memory in any meaningful way, so society as a whole suffers under the burden of our limited empathy.
You can also get into the economics of governance to get a good look at what it would mean to move the systems in place enough to reach the sort of universal socioeconomic safety that you’d personally find acceptable. I’m a fan of Europe’s deal… up to a point.
I really don’t mean to cut things off, but the scope of this conversation would necessarily reach so incredibly wide that I don’t believe I can keep your attention or mine for a dozen pages of philosophy, biology, anthropology, history, psychology, and economics. In short, I, personally, can only expect people to fit neatly into a groove so long as it isn’t too far removed from the one we dug a hundred thousand years ago.

I think you might have some ontologically incongruous standards. We are crazy apes. You can take the guns away, but the murder will persist for millennia, if not gene edited out. Banning the guns and lead bullets is more likely to work than expecting humanity to spontaneously diverge from its evolutionary roots of the bang bus murder ape

Maybe people disliked my fun fact, maybe I came off the wrong way, maybe people took offense at my typo. It doesn’t matter much. I comment for me! (This comment included)

No, that’s just random being random. In order for something truly random to feel less random to the average person, you have to reduce the repetition.

- Comment on A succulent meal 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.
Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.

Oh no, you’re getting select cuts of offal and skin and water retention agents.
- Comment on outlawing pedestrians 2 weeks ago:
For at least a few decades, I’ve been hearing complaints about American city planning intentionally excluding people who choose to, or can do nothing but, walk. Making it mandatory to arrive via automobile, that’s what they’re complaining about.
The first I’d heard of this was a rich area in socal being completely inaccessible to the homeless because it was rimmed entirely by freeways. No way to leave or enter safely without a car and few groceries just outside. A local food desert. Or a food fort
With that said, half of MetLife’s exterior is walkable, according to some maps. A long walk around a freeway is part of it. I’m not a fan of an extra 10 minutes of walking with industrial scenery but it seems fine enough

You nailed my current distro like an unattended canine in front of a cheap restaurant!
- Comment on Veganuary 2 weeks ago:
Just grilled beside the meat burgers at like 650ish. I’d never choose to eat it again, personally. Not just because of the texture, but the salt. I can’t use my salted burger spice mixes on a patty so pre-laden with salt. I usually make mushroom burgers instead. Certainly better for my blood pressure

I can’t eat bread anymore, but the egg wash on that dog’s face would inevitably compel me to take a bite. That’s a good looking dog face

I sound like someone who enjoys writing hyperbole.
But to continue the bit a bit more, you sound like someone who serves subpar food near cherished pets.

impossible burger
I’d rather kick a dog to death than eat one of these monstrosities. A creamy center is the sort of debasement that no one deserves to experience in their burger. I understand that not everyone shares my opinion, and I can accept that they are so fundamentally wrong that they should not be considered human. It is not just acceptable, it is a moral imperative to excise these subhumans from the our cities.
Mushroom, red bean, and grain burgers are the right choice.

Big bird’s mouth is one of like 3 hard surfaces on a muppet’s body. Everyone has the eyes, but big bird has a stiff, hunter’s peck. If I had more time, I’d write a snippet on it
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 3 weeks ago:
Same, quite a bit of difference to me.
$1 - 7 = how many of these are they going to charge? 100+ dollars
$8 - 70 = round to nearest $5
$70 = irrelevant collector’s edition
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 3 weeks ago:
If I have some free time, I’ll follow them to their destination and knock on their window before they manage to slip away, and then apologize. Many seem like they’re in a hurry, despite just arriving, so I’ll just shout out my apology as I knock on their window. Depending on how bad I felt, I might try to repeat the ritual next week, seeing whether I can find them on the road.

Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.
