Captain Aggravated

I made my choice.

I don’t want to spend time with my kids. That’s why I didn’t have any.

In an instant, Elmo realized he wasn’t seeing the angel fall, the angel was quite stationary. He was seeing his own rapid ascent. He realized far too late that it wasn’t the halo holding the angel up, but the angel holding the halo down.

The mortal cosmos blurred to a speck below his feet as Elmo contemplated his grip on the glowing golden disc. “Should Elmo let go”? he wondered aloud as starlight faded from memory. He knew he was being borne aloft, but couldn’t tell by what. The holy ring still clutched in his fingers applied no apparent force to his body in any direction, and in fact felt fixed in place like reality’s own anchor. At once it was searing cold and freezing hot. Time raced ahead as the light receded behind.

As the countless brief eternities blurred past, Elmo’s existence faded to angelic incandescence only interrupted by the impudence of a red shag wrist. Once he tried to look away, but found no other direction in which to gaze. There was nothing else for him. Only the interrupted golden light.

“I’ve got nothing to lose except this gun I stole before I died.”

She wasn’t killed twice. She was incompetently squirted in twice. Stop with the fake news, Mr. Trump.

Who cares? Nintendo is as backwards as the rest of Japan. If you buy their products, you have no one to blame but yourself.

I know the feeling. salts and peppers a raw lemon

Yes. Humans think cats are hilarious. Cats have a species wide habit of sitting in boxes that seem slightly too small. That hasn’t stopped being funny in 10,000 years.

Guinea pigs are manmade creatures, they’re bred from South American cavies. I saw someone once frame this exact thought as “Lions aren’t brave, they’re giant predators with powerful muscles, sharp claws and fierce teeth. Guinea pigs are brave, a guinea pig is a 2 pound meat potato with no offensive capabilities that will scream at a human if his lettuce is too wilty.”

And a “meat potato” is almost precisely what they are, they’re initially raised for food.

calling it an e-CVT is almost certainly a marketing mistake, because of how bad CVTs are in automotive service.

My favorite is it says I “might” live in the town in my shipping address. They’re not sure.

This is probably going to be unpopular on Lemmy, The Nuanceless Platform, but IF the data collection is confined to what they show me here, I’m okay. Because I bought some solder, a pair of calipers, and some computer parts from Amazon, they think I “build electronics.” Amazon has a reason to know this about me as a customer, especially if I can see and even manually delete/change it. As humorous as it may be that they apparently think a customer has a flat ass, that’s relevant information if you buy clothing from them, they’ll steer you away from the bubble butt shorts that you’ll almost certainly return.

The problem is when they want to start installing apps on my phone, new devices in my house, with microphones and radars that are always collecting data about what I do, what I say, where I am. THAT’S the part we need to be dismembering executives over.

Mine is pretty straightforward, “builds electronics” “has precision tools” “likely has a french press” (I do, I bought it on Amazon), “prioritizes high-speed data transfer”, “Probably has a computer system with internal expansion” (I bought an NVMe SSD from Amazon once), “Likely lives in (the town in my saved shipping address)”

So surveillance. Much sleuthing.

lol the drill sergeant character who spoke almost entirely un-clanlike, other than occasionally using the term “freebirth”.

The first intermediate period is approximately the 8th to 11th dynasties, I’m thinking of Pharaoh Hatchepsut from the 18th dynasty, who ruled Egypt after the invention of the Bikini.

(If we’re honest with ourselves though, throughout Egyptian history they wore way more scandalous things than that just normally. Look up Egyptian bead dresses.)

So, I don’t know if it did it on your end, the reason why I put my morse code in a code block is it expanded the two dots into three. Don’t know if it does it on all UIs but on my end it made your Z into dash dash dot dot dot.

Further knowledge about Mechwarrior 2: 31st century combat:

At various stages in the campaigns, you’ll face off against Elementals, escort a Tarantula, and fight a Battlemaster. Through cheat codes, you can add these to the mech lab and play in them in the “Trial of Grievance” free play mode. The Elemental works fine, it functions as a tiny mech, the Tarantula works mostly correctly, but it isn’t 4-legged. It looks like it is but the front two legs are legally arms, they can be blown off and it works fine. Trying to select the Battlemaster in the mech lab will immediately crash the game.

Cheat codes for Mechwarrior 2 were the very, very first thing I searched the internet for.

The Mission Impossible theme, you know, the “Dun! Dun! DADA! Dun! Dun! Duhduh!” one, written in 5/4 time? That’s supposed to spell MI for Mission: Impossible, in Morse code. --.. dash dash dot dot, MI. The first two notes are dotted quarter notes, 1.5 beats each for a total of 3 beats, then two quarter notes for each dot, total of 2 beats, grand total of 5 beats per measure. 5/4 time.

FIND A PRACTICAL USE FOR THAT SHIT.

False! The Russians caught Mir on fire at least once. So fire has also been seen in low Earth orbit.
