Another one bites the dust.

I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.

Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.

Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.

Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.

Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

There is a more extreme version of doomerism which is accelerationism.

So sure, we may be doomed, and since no one is doing anything about it in time… fuck it, let’s speed things up. Build more coal, clear cut forests, kill every insect. Let’s show people how bad it can get and how fast. No one’s grandchild gets a future.

The nice thing about this worldview is that you wake up every morning to good news. New oil pipelines, shrinking aquifers to cool data centres, a couple dozen more extinct species, etc.

This belief system sees humans as a plague on the planet that is luckily self-healing. Good luck to the next wave of humans in 2-30 million years.

Sounds crazy right? Maybe, but since the only historical alternative is class violence, …and since that’s a no-no topic, we are left with the choice to accept a terminal diagnosis and just die like a good peon. We wouldn’t want to inconvenience rich people.

The same rich people who have been spending the past two decades building reinforced under-mountain bunkers and meeting with security advisors for tips on how to keep human security in line in a world where money has no value. But no, that’s just a hobby, they totally don’t think the world is in trouble.

Good idea, thank you for the tips on how to disable it. Nothing more annoying than someone offhandedly mentioning something I should do and providing no details or elaboration.

Okay, maybe that was harsh, but really, not even an app name or… literally anything?

I don’t know this command, about to test it out.

I always use 0 and $, then W and B to leapfrog words manually 💀

Thanks!

How could I live without dd, vap, 99j, 99k, 555gg, zt, zz, zb, [, ]?

If these were the only vim commands it would still be better than Nano.

Change the rules? No.

The “rules” are in place, they’d simply be exercising existing structure.

You should listen to the podcast More Perfect if you want to learn more about the court.

When you’ve convinced an entire political party that any changes in anything ever is always bad… it’s kinda difficult to please those people.

Like, opposing ethics reform? So if a judge gets bribed… you want them to be able to say, “Nah nah can’t get me, I’m friends with a billionaire!”

Or, to ask in a different way, do you think that it was the intention of the founders that the highest judges in our form or government make their rulings based on who gives them the most money?

because ^that is our current system

Disagree on Vornado.

I have bought around ten of their fans in total since 2018. Larges, mediums, smalls. 9/10 of them are rattly, half-plastic pieces of shit. I refuse to give any more money to them.

Maybe you have an older model? Go buy one of their current fans. I call it a “trash-gamble”, 50% chance of rattling fan right away, 90% chance it will rattle within the year.

Ahh, you have skinitis, be glad it’s not boneitis.

This application looks fine to me.

Clearly labeled sections.

Local on one side, remote on the other

Transfer window on bottom.

No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?

Climate change is fake, but everything that is crafted from observable measurements is being updated to be in line with climate change if it was real.

God damn Greta Thunberg!!

Ah good, so I can tell my therapist I’m no longer a nihilist but a quantum foamer.

This is great.

Questions. Stupid, no?
