I read fiction as an escape. I do not keep a bulletin board covered in note cards and red string for each book. It goes in my eyes, fizzles on my neurons for a few seconds, and then dissipates like a fart on a summer breeze.

This depends on whether it’s permanent or transitory. I don’t want to be half-way through a stunt…

I absolutely hate gunk on my hands, so I stuck with FDM.

Baby oil, or baby powder? The gimp suit debate rages on.

Underappreciated comment of the thread.

It’s been a while since I bought storage. $500 for 24TB seems like a steal to me. Not that I have any need for 24TB. Also, I don’t trust Seagate drives. I’d rather have four, 6TB drives than one 24TB drive, but that’s just experience talking–I’ve lost several drives over the years, and most of them were Seagate. YMMV.

Tender, succulent chicken breast, lovingly bathed in a sweet, creamy garlic sauce, served with melon balls, and broken promises.

And, if you can, pull their masks off. The mofos know why they’re hiding. Also, try shaming them if you get within earshot, they aren’t all complete psychopaths.

First, the prize, like most such prizes, is a popularity contest, merit be damned.

Second, as everyone knows, except perhaps Trump, the statue is worthless without the intent behind it. She gave him a paperweight, probably cheaper than whatever gift she would have given otherwise.

Everything a subscription. You’ll own nothing and like it!

And, people, I can’t stress this enough, FUCK JEFF BEZOS!

The man-child got his shiny.

I dunno what he will do with that half-a-million bucks, but I hope he keeps it for himself. I wouldn’t blame him at all. Also, there’s a small chance he’ll need it for legal council. You never know which species of cockroach that sort of money will bring out from under the stove.

Bullshit. And, everyone, literally everyone, knows it. But, nothing will happen.

It probably is? I mean, there are so many damn fonts.

I left Digg 15 years ago. I’m surprised it’s still around.

I’ve only heard about it since in this way, some quick announcement about the “new Digg”. And, then, nothing.

Reddit banned me for saying “see a Nazi, punch a Nazi.” There’s no way I’m going to bother with Digg, that’s the past, and I have no doubt they’d sooner than later be the same as Reddit in that regard.

They want us to riot in the big cities, so they can declare martial law and cancel the mid-term elections.

I dumped Amazon ten years ago, when I got scammed by a third party seller and Amazon did fuck-all to help. Amazon doesn’t extend the same protections to third party sellers, I suppose that’s in the TOS, which I’m sure everyone has read carefully.

I could go into detail how the scam worked, and probably still does work. The jist is, shippers don’t provide full addresses to Amazon, only the zip code. So, if the scammer shows that they have a shipping receipt for a zip code, Amazon just trusts that the box was shipped to the correct address. Turns out they shipped an empty box to a local restaurant–it took a lot of calls to find that out.

Maybe I’m now in the minority, but I never bought a spy speaker, or bought spy cameras to attach to my house, inside or out.

My suggestion is, if you have them, get rid of them. But, I’m probably just an old man yelling at clouds, and am safe to ignore. Carry on.

Ah, the little things that happen when you let the psychopaths run the country. AKA, old, white, rich men.

They’re very common in the U.S., too, in the past six years.

At first, I was against them, because of fewer people being employed, and I’d be “working for free”, but the much shorter wait convinced me. Also, Walmart employs a bunch of people to do the pick-up shopping, so, I think the number of people employed has stayed the same. Although, I suspect they pay the pickers less.

I refuse to use the pick-up shopping because half of my shopping is fresh vegetables, and I don’t trust anyone else to choose them for me. Yeah, I want two onions, but I want big ones, and ones with no mold or bruises. Food is expensive, and I don’t want to pay for poor quality. Yeah, I want a bunch of celery, but if the organic looks better than the normal, I might pay a bit extra for that this time. Paid pickers can’t make those choices for me.
