I dunno man, he gave me this note for you. None of my business, he’s a weird kid. (Jesus giggling behind a potted plant.)

You know what sucks most about this? We could literally fix many of society’s issues by focussing on education. Hunger, crime, inequality, poverty, climate, population, everything. But that fucks the goals of billionaires, so we won’t.

So, fun and slightly unrelated story:

In the late 80s, when I was a teen, we were driving through the Arizona desert to Mexico and there was this big stretch where there was just nothing. No radio, no rest stops, literally nothing. And I had to pee really bad.

So we pulled over for me to do my business. It was an open desert with nothing to hide behind, so I went a bit from the road and found the biggest bush I could. It was dead and not full enough for much privacy, but far enough that I thought it gave enough cover. So I squatted and pulled down my shorts, and heard a really loud rattle. I didn’t even think. Just scrambled back towards the car, butt naked to the sky, scraping my knees in the dirt. Not even sure when or how I pulled up my shorts.

I’d nearly pissed on a rattlesnake. The adults reassured me that they rattle instead of bite, so I wasn’t in real danger. They thought it was hilarious. I did not.

Sometimes you don’t think, you just do what you can do.

This is the most American thing I have read in my life. I have lived for more than half a century, some of it in several different US states.

Seriously, if anyone asks what the US is like, show them this post. It’s perfect.

Yeah, but where’s the fun in that?

Where I live, there used to be an Officer Gay in our police. He retired a while ago, but just imagine the possibilities. There was graffiti. Soo much graffiti.

Like, this was a legitimate word, once, used for names and such.

You can have my pickle. I don’t want it.

Your solution is in your statement:

more likely a product of constantly being high

Er, my solution is.

I didn’t get it on temu, and it’s not exactly the same. They’re all the same basic design because they have to be to work, and I happen to have a red one. They come in all colours.

Weird.

e: just for some more proof I’m not a bot:

Uh, buy my book! XD

Malicious and stupid aren’t mutually exclusive, but stupid often leads.

Had a conversation with my dad recently, and I was floored when he was surprised that I think Musk is a literal moron. My dad is an aviation engineer, and genuinely brilliant, so I thought he’d see through the bullshit, too, but he hasn’t.

I explained that not only have I seen all the places Musk has been bullshitting people in fields I have a lot of knowledge in, but professionals in other fields do, too. When he says shit in your field, it’s totally obvious he’s a moron, and I’m nowhere near the first to say that. I guess my dad has never heard him talk about aeronautics.

Musk is a walking, talking Dunning-Kruger effect with a huge trust fund and the best example of failing upwards. That is all.

I think it’s simpler than that. They believed their own AI PR bullshit, huffed their own farts, and management thought they could get paid more to do less, offloading decisions.

Don’t ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

God invented sin, then made himself human in order to kill himself to save people from himself. Makes perfect sense.

Silicone cover for the part of a VR headset that touches your face. Makes it a bit more comfortable. I think this one is for a Quest.

e: I have one, it’s this:

You may be right.it was in a collection of headline mistakes, and this is shitpost, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like work. People buying this ice likely either don’t care or don’t want to spend the time.

I’d never buy this, because I don’t even use ice, and if I did, I wouldn’t care about its shape. Seems silly to me.

But I can’t disparage anyone who sees that market, and that means it’s worth doing as a business, to some degree, probably.

Packaging makes sense, too. We’ve been buying bagged ice forever. In this case, your ice has stricter quality control.

I have no need for this, but there’s clearly a market for it. I can’t disparage anyone for finding a market.

Yeah! Why should Ben have all the gay‽

Look, gravity sucks, guys.
