Hot irons are bourgeoisie.

It’s a base station for my VR headset

Weekly reminder that Wikipedia was created by a bunch of libertarians and that outlook is 100% present in their power user community.

I would switch but I also feel in my bones with 100% certainty that if I ever got on a game show I would do all the correct things and lose anyway just through bad luck.

Blue green red, cops troops firefighters I’m guessing?

This is a minor point but I love how the BBC report starts with “the BBC has found evidence” and then the whole report is just a scary voiceover using footage from the positive news story. Like yeah you found that evidence just like Columbus found America didn’t ya.

A bunch of my notifications get lost in the shuffle too, especially if I have a popular comment with a bunch of replies. I can only guess that programming a notification system is harder than it sounds since every social media site has this problem.

afaik castles have a recurring problem where rich people buy them saying “we’re going to restore this and keep it authentic” but then as soon as they find out the price of doing that they backtrack and usually end up not doing anything. But I would prefer doing nothing to doing this.

Aww yeah my favorite candy “cocoa gems” made in the same factory as M&Ms but without the logo stamped on them and half the price lmao

oooooooooooh

I saw a tiktok of a vet shaving a cow’s hoof that had some kind of problem and I can’t stop thinking about and squicking out about it. Like I know the hoof is to a cow like a fingernail to us so it was fine but seeing that big ol knife just carve through it gave me uncomfortable chills.

Wound up watching the whole ten minute video though lmao

As long as GameFAQs still exists every single video “guide” is completely useless.

Zizek had one interesting observation about how fascists are ironic now, but his career started with being an anti-communist in Yugoslavia and it completely tracks that he’s a pro-NATO “leftist” now.

In 2010 the first Nier game came out in two versions, I remember being baffled by it but I suppose in the end they figured out that every culture loves

I swear there’s something about taking food away from children specifically that gets republicans off.

Would you put your brain in a robot body?

This was a really cool and insightful essay, thank you for sharing. I’ve always conceptualized the mind as a complex physical, chemical, and electrical pattern (edit: and a social context) - if I were to write a sci fi story about people trying to upload their brain to a computer I would really emphasize how they can copy the electrical part perfectly, but then the physical and chemical differences would basically kill “you” instantly creating a digital entity that is something else. That “something else” would be so alien to us that communication with it would be impossible, and we might not even recognize it as a form of life (although maybe it is?).

That’s cool. Reminds me of how Tarn is still working on Dwarf Fortress over two decades later.

Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?

Yvonne’s cooking.

…and cleaning. Someone should really get off the couch and help.
