There’s actually a third circle, “Things That Earn Money,” about 60,000 pixels to the right.

What do you mean? Society has been treating it for generations.

“Who’s my good little sociopath? Line go up? Line go up? Good boy, that poor deserved it! Here’s a treat.”

Leftover rains from hurricane “Tempest” (they/them), have inundated all major watersheds along the eastern seaboard. Over 6% of i95 is under water or inaccessible due to floods and damage. Cities near rivers by the coast are now a part of “the delta”.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it one bit.

A lot of folks on here want to worry about how their computer is working. This is very time consuming and can be pretty frustrating to manage on your own.

Add 25 years of IT work, and I now have zero interest in doing computer stuff as a hobby anymore. I used to love tinkering. Had multi-boot systems, spun up VMs just because I could, turned a minitower into a JBOD SCSI enclosure, etc. Now I just want stuff to work without fucking with it. That used to be Apple… and while they’ve gotten away from that a fair amount it’s still head and shoulders above Microsoft and Google.

If big tech gets awful enough that I have to consider brushing up on Linux, I might as well just fuck off into the woods and see if I can make friends with some raccoons or something. I’m tired, man.

If only.

The best defense against a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.

I’m not a fan of pot but your logic is flawless.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

Plot twist: this Pikachu was brown, “loitering,” and subsequently tased.

Username, uh, checks out.

Love your work btw.

None of what I posted claimed to prove or disprove anything. You keep saying there’s room. Of course there is. We’ve made room. It just remains *conspicuously empty.

Very logical. Wonder why he hasn’t stopped by to reverse the ban since the invention of refrigeration, or at least clarify the rule as just meaning to keep people safe?

“Hey guys, thanks for all the likes and subscribes over the years. Good to see you! Just wanted to give a shout-out to my man Leviticus. We knew, back in the day, that y’all weren’t ready for the whole “microbe” thing, so we wanted to just kinda steer folks away from stuff that could hurt them. But man, you guys have been busy since then! You figured all this shit out! I’m proud of you, I really am. Or at least I would be if I was allowed, am I right?”

“So yeah, now that it’s mostly safe to eat that stuff, go right ahead. Watch out for buffets though… if they can afford to feed your uncle Charlie for five shekels they have to be cutting corners somewhere. Anyways, I gotta go so I will talk to you later. Be safe! Love, peace, and all that jazz!”

crowd cheers

“Oh, one more thing. If you could stop killing one another in my name that’d be great. It’s super un-cool. But hey, free will and all. I won’t stop you. Until next time!”

fanfare over credit roll

There’s room for both science and god.

I mean… whenever he’s ready.

There was a line after that, but she dropped the other tablet and shrugged it off:

“This way to the mines, fields, and factories.”

Ok cool, thanks for checking.

Joel vs. Mike

Mike is a great writer but Joel by far has the better timing and delivery. Not to derail the thread or anything.

It’s not just lemm.ee. I’ve been getting this behavior for awhile now. Workaround is to save the image via long press (since share treats it as a file) and then share it from the photo roll.

I actually meant to start a thread last night but got sidetracked.
