Fat-soluble is exactly why pectin+pedialyte+multivitamin+water = urine luck. 🤌🏼

IIRC, RJ Reynolds has had a patent for a cannabis cigarette, “Camel Blues”, since the late 70s. Hmm…

Fuck yes! Way to go! Also, I would like to subscribe to your username’s newsletter. Sounds edifying.

That’s my point. Right now, it’s an option —only to install it as a future luxury in the collective subconscious. Then, when they’re on every gawdamned appliance, those that publicly decry the fuckery will get downvoted by the mouthbreathin’ masses and largely ignored. Mark my words. It’s a tale as old as time.

While I can appreciate your optimism for the modern consumer, I feel that this stance ignores the underlying current of forced adoption via prolific visibility (ie. “everyone has one, might as well”) and/or market sublimation by said “features” no longer offered as optional… 🙃

I was being somewhat cheeky with the third, yes, but the era of the other two doesn’t discount the historical fact that people of that time said similar: they were a fad, gimmicky, of little interest to gen pop, etc., so the cautionary analogy is still valid. 😜

You realize that’s exactly what they said about video games in the early days, right? And the Internet. And gay sex.

Don’t worry, the fridge ones’ll have ads for kids soon, with a candy-coated Buy Now button. Go-o-o *society!*🥳

Hunh. That looks like my face when realizing the US will most likely be swapping one wannabe king for another if this slick-shit wine baron saves them from the Oranguturd currently squirting in office.

And you see nothing wrong with packaging (poorly, IMA) a long-standing DIY hobby project as a pre-made retail product w/ shite specs and future modability, I presume? Interesting stance.
- Comment on It's 2025, And We're Getting A Brand New 8-Bit Game Console 1 week ago:
Because it’s widely available for a fraction of the cost and does fuck-all by comparison. Circle jerk all ya want, sheeple. You’re already owned by your interests, clearly.

Thafuq? What is this, Temu taking a swipe at Nintendo while they’re busy boxing Palworld? FFS. A Raspi in a spare Tupperware can do all this and more, but for far less money. Grifters. 🖕🏼

If you’re in the US, that’s just part of daily life at this point. Employment? Food? Shelter? Sanity? Hope? 🤷🏼♂️ Pick three, and roll’ em!

TBF, that’s about as “new” as 5G, though. Even earlier, if radio waves count as “wifi” in this regard. Ever since in-home transmitters were widely adopted, this has been not only possible but quietly deployed by various intel ops. I mean, FFS, even some fire depts use similar for S&R as it bypasses obscuration by smoke, etc. 😅🤓

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 5 weeks ago:
Back in the early Sim days (~97?), I lived with a bunch of friends in a duplex and shared one house computer (always on, seeding, etc.) that had a perpetual session running. Any housemate at any time could pop down to check on their Sims, some more than others. Me, though? Not at all.
It took them months to talk me into it, and even then I gave in, exasperated. So, I decided to be the weird house. Started with a second floor on stilts/pillars and made the first floor a hedge garden & statuary promenade with a pool out back. At first, it was funny to see the random burglars have no idea what to do with a front door that opened directly to stairs —and that’s only if they found the front door before wandering into the hedge maze. IIRC, they despawn eventually (environmental effect, not actual Sims), but I didn’t expect the neighbors to wander over and into that maze…
Quite a while went by before I logged in again to check on my crime family, and it was really only inspired by a few housemates complaining the game was losing their Sims or something. When I looked in on my house, I soon found their Sims… A couple of them had yet to succumb to their neglect, but most died of starvation and/or fire inside the unintentional maze under my house.
Oops 😅🥹
