I only recently started doing it

Gods away on business by tom waits

Reading in bed is how I go to sleep lol

At work when I have meetings I started talking in a really slow and monotonous voice. I think it makes people want to stop talking to me more quickly. I got the idea from an fbi hostage negotiator

Really? It feels like theres a lot less diversity of thought on the internet now. I used to be able to jump on stumbleupon and find a website about psilocybin, or someone’s insane ramblings about the new world order. Now its all just crap. Used to be the world was too far away, used to be the stars didn’t have much to say.

I’ve found it comforting to embrace the inevitability of my death. People are afraid of fascism, climate change, nuclear war, terrorism, mass shootings, car accidents and fire becausebthey personally fear violent death. Simply throw your hands up and say “I will die - and theres nothing I can do about it”

If your concern is more abstract, such as a fear for the downfall of the American republic, I would say that we’re all a little too old to be believing in fairy tales

Splitting lanes is not legal in the vast majority of the United States but idk where you’re from. It’s very very rare for me to see a car blow through a red light outright. Both cyclists and drivers should be punished for doing so.

I dont have a problem with bikes. I think there should be huge amounts of protected bike lanes so they can have their own lanes, and i think a lot of streets should be declared off-limits to motorized traffic and only allow pedestrians. But I also think that a lot of people who ride bicycles on public roads are some of the biggest assholes out there

Communism is and always has been a cult. Socialism is a political ideology. Communism contains all the hallmarks of religion: the belief that you have the one ideology which explains everything and can literally predict the future (dialectical materialism) and is explicitly a plan to murder your enemies to achieve an eschatological end-time which is both poorly explained (Marx basically never explained how a perfect communist society would actually function or what it would look like) and also unachievable (after the revolution, communists tend to spend all their time purging and massacring other communists who aren’t communist enough). Communism even suppressed science which they believed was incompatible with dialectical materialism - relativity, quantum physics; despite the Soviet union having a strong nuclear weapons program, for a period in the 1940s and 1950s these theories and areas of science were considered counter-revolutionary. Same as in China during the cultural revolution. They killed heretics the same way the catholic church and spanish inquisition did because communism is a cult.

The revolution never ends - communism is impossible. Not because of “human nature” or anything like that, but because communists NEED enemies the kill. Murder is built into the religion.

I almost never see cyclists ride in a legal manner. They’re motorized vehicles when its convenient to them and pedestrians when its not. They split lanes, blow through red lights, and they loooooove to go out in big groups and take over the road

People who code often come to their technical opinions via aesthetics rather than legit technical reasons. On 4chan/g/ there are people who only code in C, or only code in Lisp, or only code in Ocaml, and there’s nothing you can tell them to convince them to use a new language because their hero is Terry Davis and they imagine themselves as living in Serial Experiments Lain. They code on projects with no real world applicability. I think the appeal behind Terry Davis is that these people are all building their temple to God, in a way.

I work for an adtech company and im pretty much the only developer for the javascript library that runs on client sites and shows our ads. I dont use AI at all because it keeps generating crap

If we have another pandemic, theres almost no chance the government will do anything about it at all

Yeah and they work in the US defense industry too

He has pretty generic right wing opinions. In a debate with Destiny, he said something pretty close to “Rich black people commit more crimes than poor white people”.

Personally, I stopped giving a shit about other peoples’ racist opinions on the internet. Call it “outrage fatigue”.

Maybe Nokia is “dead” as a consumer brand but they’re a pretty big player in the enterprise world.

Under no circumstances would I use this lol

y’all need to stand up against racism and discrimination

Felt kind of out of nowhere. How does a web browser stand up to racism?

Wish there were better 3rd party mobile options. On pc I can install Linux on any laptop made in the last 15 years and it will work basically flawlessly. No such equivalent exists for smart phones

Communists are in a religious cult - you cannot reason with them

It won’t
