Absolutely my favorite characters. I really like the lonely mountain comic where they make a dragon dildo.

It was a lame joke. Glad you figured it out.

Try not to reboot.

Now we’ve reached the point where you have a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations…

Lol

Me showing a friend the number of downloads for an open source library that I published.

I have butchered squirrels, deer, turkey, snakes, catfish, goats, pigs, and rabbits. Went vegetarian two years ago for ethical reasons though, so I guess I don’t get to raise my hand lol

On The Nature Of Mass Movementa, by (I think) Eric Hoffer. One of the things he claims is that mass movements are generally made up of the dispossessed and dissatisfied who want better conditions but are not quite suffering enough that their entire focus is on acquiring food. People have to feel as if they could improve their circumstances by revolting, but not be actively starving.

I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

Ah yeah, not the case in my area. Rent for an apartment is about twice as much as a mortgage.

Yeah, it took me a bit to wrap my head around it. It’s worth it to avoid subtle, weird, and hard to diagnose bugs later on.

As a Rust programmer, I approve this message. Tumbling through a turbine repeatedly would be less stressful than working on a large python/js codebase.

You’re missing a few advantages to owning-

• If you have to move, you can often get the money that you spent on the mortgage back, or even make a profit.
• A mortgage is generally cheaper than rent.
• While some may not be interested in renovating, it’s a relatively low-effort activity that pays for itself if you sell the property.
• Can have a garden

Now do divorce

Clear case of demon possession.

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, sam-I-am.

Do you think that your assertion, that they want to destroy the world around us in order to provide “value” to a small group of tech bros is at odds with the underlying philosophy of effective altruism? It seems like anyone who wanted to create the most good for the most people would be opposed to a future like that.

Do you really think that’s what effective altruists want?

Fucking hell.
