Onions are so fucking good. They make almost every savory dish better.

Libs seem very unconditional-surrender-brained about this conflict. Even concept of considering Russian desires in a potential peace settlement makes them so fucking angry.

I can’t wait for the NYPD vs Feds standoff

It’s fascinating to see suburban people be completely dormant doormats about every political issue… and then to see them ACTIVATED and engaging in effective grassroots political activity whenever theres a “threat” of transit development.

Anyone who’s main army are Ultramarines is sus.

That was what the final stretch of Zelda TotK was like for me. Defeating Ganon took a back seat to sleuthing and dungeon diving to finish out my outfit.

Socialism will never match this level of innovation

Bottom center. Orbital solar is going to be the energy source of fully automated luxury gay space communism. Especially if we can’t get fusion to work (there’s no guarantee that reactor based fusion will ever be feasible, the laws of physics don’t owe it to us).

It’s the coordination work. Project management, accounting, purchasing, compliance, etc, is about figuring out what the hell is going on, and what the hell should be done. When an organization reaches certain thresholds of complexity, a lot of labor needs to be spent on those kind of activities, or else the whole operation of the organization seizes up.

The day to day varies, but spending all day updating spreadsheets and sending emails is common. A lot of them are bullshit, and only exist to fight fires that other parts of the organization are lighting. Many are complex and require extensive training to do, but most can probably be done by someone who just lied on their resume. They are physically cushy, and often pay better than manual labor or standing-up jobs (but not always, especially not the ones that don’t require any credentials).

Damnit, I’ve been eating a delicious Mediterranean diet for nothing…

It’s one of the grossest threads I’ve ever seen, just hootin and hollerin about a brutal atrocity.

On the face of it, this should be relatively benign: a video about designing and making an accessory for his onewheel. I started typing up a comment about that, but then erased it all when I realized what was so skin crawling about it:

This video is not about a hobbyist making stuff. This video is content. And every decision made was made with content in mind. Everything from his weird design choices, to his unnerving personal affect, to the cheeky call for mass production partnerships, is an artificial construct designed to keep as many people as possible engaged with it as a piece of content. It’s a real person doing a real thing, but the artificiality of it makes it drop into the uncanny valley.

Paintball is super fun, and typically the fields have more “gamey” layouts. I have more fun with it. The paintballs themselves are more visible and visceral, so it’s easier to perceive when you’re getting shot at… and makes tags against other players all the more satisfying.

Both are fun, and are fundamentally the same sort of game. I think paintball works way better as a walk-on game. But airsoft is much easier to play in an outlaw setting (that is: not on a paid field).

In both cases, you’re going to be playing with some chuds.

It’s really our fault, for envisioning the torment nexus in the first place

Defiantly doing a physical archetype
