Gaia I’ve come to bargain [ODs on pain killer]

In this economy?

Maybe they did! People believe more unlikely things to make themselves feel better all the time

Posting misinformation is acceptable behavior in a shitposting comm, so this could be a photoshop

I feel like the real question to ask in these situations is whether or not it matters whether it’s “real” or not

Keyboard player [32 minutes after wondering why they’re getting no volume]: “Why is velocity sensitivity four clicks into the menu where I update my firmware?! Whatever, that oughta fix it” (compressor effect that’s only visible while holding down a shift key and moving the volume knob simultaneously is still active and set to a threshold of -48db)

So may-on-the-a’s was an instrument after all!

This would be a more responsible use of my tax dollars than like half of what I read about in the news tbh

THE POST DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ISRAEL ITS JUST A PICTURE OF JEWS

“… and then he responded ‘Never has been,’ and that’s the last transmission we got from Artemis II.”

Me neither, I feel like all the publications talking about how it’s so popular are gaslighting me or being taken by some bullshit bottled streaming numbers

Did it? I mean, it may have bought President Pedo the couple of months he needed to win an election against a historically awful opponent, but given his 32% approval rating and being stuck in a war that was supposed to distract from the detention camps that were supposed to be a distraction from the tariffs that were supposed to be a distraction from DOGE which was supposed to be a distraction from the pedophilia, I think it’s fair to say that buying a mouthpiece isn’t a durable solution to the problem of being objectively stupid

Doesn’t seem to be what this article says

To some readers, even choosing Outlook as a part of a spacecraft’s communications portfolio would seem to be an anomaly. However, it is a standard part of the “Commercial Off-The-Shelf” (COTS) software astronauts use for their day-to-day operations.

To be clear, the spacecraft and primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software. COTS just complements this with a friendly layer, like Windows and Outlook, so astronauts can check schedules, indulge in personal communications, and so on, in a familiar way.

Sounds like Microsoft products are running on the same hardware as critical systems are

Unfortunately (almost) anything you do for a living becomes a chore even on the best days

Eh, that’s what they’re trying to do, but that’s always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren’t reaching the end of anything, it’s just the next stage of the game.

They’ve stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money

Exactly, and the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was pro microtransactions really tells you the kind of scum we’re dealing with here

Fusion kitchens are the best and maybe the only good thing to come out of colonialism

Well, there’s also a pretty good music that jazz doesn’t happen the way it did without putting European instruments in the hands of formerly enslaved Africans. Would be a lot cooler world if we could figure out how to evolve our art and culture without crimes against humanity, tho.

How do you get the energy drink and nutrition supplements to stay in the taco

I’m hearing that my summary won’t be helpful, so I don’t need to spend my time on this request, which certainly works for me. You are, of course, welcome to take any notes for yourself that you would find helpful, and I would be happy to review those if you would like.

Thanks for your time!

e; wait, in this scenario am I a supervisor giving you orders you have to follow or a coworker making a request for some information? I was assuming the second option, but yeah if I were your boss and had any ability to punish you for not following my orders I would absolutely put them in writing.

According to my recollection, you accepted full responsibility and pledged to do better going forward. You also promised not to embezzle any of the company’s money going forward, which was a weird thing to say unprompted.
