Good ones maybe, but I never said it was one of those :)

Be interesting to see what scotus does with it, as it will almost certainly end up there, but I don’t really have high hopes of a good outcome…

My girl cat’s shortened name is bean, and I often call her black bean burrito (the other one’s food name is banana, because it rhymes with Rayla)

Well, see, he heard about subreddit simulator and he thought sure that sounds good, but doesn’t get the difference in platform.

Plus once you get it working, you can set up retirement communities up there. Gives old people a chance to take a pioneering risk so we can sort out the kinks and grow the space with purpose, and makes them feel a lot better being in reduced gravity.

I’ve even got a slogan! It’s cheesy and totally 1950s sci-fi, so perfect!

“Retire in comfort on the moon, where 1/6 gravity makes old bodies feel new again!”

Even snakes are bizarre. We have a creature with no limbs, just a very dangerous head and a potentially very dangerous body, and it uses its skin to move. And they can eat things whole which are several times the size of their head. Seriously, wtf.

Oh and even better, they range in size from adorable little worms to big enough to eat a human whole. And what kind of exercise do constrictors even do to get strong enough to suffocate something that outweighs it??

I thought the same thing.

I’d play it. Sounds hilarious. Like cards against humanity as an rpg.

As someone who has always been on a low-sodium diet, but who nonetheless has a hankering for processed food, thank fuck.

Everything has become so ridiculously salty, if you aren’t already used to the salt, that it’s largely inedible. It would otherwise be really good, but holy shit.

If we can get people consuming less salt in some places, they will want less in other places as well, maybe food as a whole will be less salty… that would be a win in every single way for everyone. Everyone who regularly eats with me tends to want less salt in their food overall as a result, so I know it works, and it doesn’t even take that long.

I wouldn’t call Amish people particularly violent, and all their transport throughout their lives is horse/buggy/bike…

And since they hadn’t figured out how to do fermentation yet, they would very likely all be super lightweights! You’d have a great time with the tribe for the price of two cases of cheap swill.

Unless they understand at least as well as birds that spoiled fruits will get you drunk… fuck, now I have things to think about…

It’s worth the watch if you like existential surreal stuff.

It’s been one of my faves for decades. The mad world song is easily one of my faves so I’ve naturally watched it a bunch.

If you like it there’s a sequel S. Darko, which tells the story from his sisters perspective, as I understand it, but I haven’t seen that one; you can’t improve on something already perfect.

I just say the following every time:

“Your mother would be so disappointed in you if she really understood what you were doing, wouldn’t she?

Ruining the lives of little old ladies, just like mama. She’s probably not well off either, right Mr scammer? I feel for you. Really I do. I’ve lived in poverty my whole life too, and it’s been a huge struggle just to get by. But me? I wouldn’t shame my family by scamming people just like us out of what little they have. My mamma raised me better than that. I’m sure yours did, too.”

I always get a reply meaning it definitely strikes a nerve, usually get some sort of bravado about how mama is proud because they bring home the money, and I just respond “if you tell yourself that enough maybe you’ll believe it someday, too!”.

But I don’t want to be totally heartless because a lot of them don’t have meaningful options, and I get that, and I’m not the ragey sort generally. Or at least I try not to be.

I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.

I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.

Fun fact:

Ye is not pronounced with entirely vowel sounds, as is often heard. Y was a thorn in middle and Early Modern English, which represented the “th” sound so it was still pronounced the.

(This was just a linguistics fun fact, in old English the thorn would have been written Þ or þ which ruins your joke, but wasn’t my intent :( )

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)

Relevant bit: with the arrival of movable typeprinting, the substitution of ⟨y⟩ for ⟨Þ⟩ became ubiquitous, leading to the common “ye”, as in ‘Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe’. One major reason for this was that ⟨Y⟩ existed in the printer’s types that were imported from Belgium and the Netherlands, while ⟨Þ⟩ did not.[5] The word was never pronounced as /j/, as in ⟨yes⟩, though, even when so written.[6]

By that logic literally anything other than blasting it into space is temporary. Mountains weather, oceans turn over, even the planet as a whole has a cycle that involves melting the subducted sea floor and releasing gasses.

Sure it’s temporary, but if we have enough temporary storage to offset the (drastically reduced, I should hope) emissions, and continue to replace what is used/burned/etc, does it really matter if it doesn’t last forever?

When I was in the service, whenever someone would complain about something mundane, someone up the chain of command would always pop in and say something along the lines of “a bitching sailor is a happy sailer. It’s when they stop complaining you know there’s a problem”.

I still haven’t quite sorted that one out, nearly 2 decades on…

Tho it is true; my most recent job (that I quit for mental health reasons) near the end I tried to just keep my head down and not get fired before the 2 year mark… kept my mouth shut about everything and avoided talking to anyone as much as possible. I was quitting because none of the issues were ever addressed when I brought them up…

Loose lips sink trains, don’t they know anything?

Hilariously wrong on every count, because Jerry’s last name in Rick and Morty is Smith.

There are two well known people named Jerry Dunn, but ones a basketball player and the others a runner.

Also I wouldn’t say Jerry is obsessed with or otherwise has unhealthy relationships with couches, the wine spill is incidental to his spiraling.

Ooooh that’s gunna be a hefty fine. Hope he has a lot of money, but if he’s doing something like this, he probably doesn’t travel much, so probably isn’t terribly well off.

Way to fuck your life up for narcissism.
