“THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER SOCIALISM!!!”

literally a picture of the current world under capitalism, usually in the same country or one of similar quality of living

I love games that allow me to have a “decoration set” of armor that doesn’t change stats.

Then I get my maxed out magic regen AND look like a badass.

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.

Oh, it’s definitely a thing. Especially with Lower Decks being animated, and therefore easily replicated in style.

… Not that I’d know anything about such things.

Infinite realities means infinite possibilities, so somewhere in the multiverse there’s a starfleet absolutely filled with cock monsters.

The question is, do they seek out new life for exploration?

Or is it for cocks…

I used to think my own sight was bad enough. I get little tiny Starbursts around lights. And I mean tiny. This dot - • - would look like the same dot with a / plastered on top.

Finding out the OP picture is how my wife sees the world at night was a little mind blowing. I knew it could get bad, but damn.

Well you’re definitely not going to get there if you spend all day explaining infinity to people.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

… Well, better get to walking.

Break the cycle of abuse.

Be better than XT-22.

Leave a better ship for XT-24.

Also, 30 years and he didn’t bother with a cover up?

clankers

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

First they came for the mice, but I did not speak up, for I was not a mouse.

What a dumb way to view things.

Having never gone to college, I FULLY support my tax dollars going to pay for colleges.

Tax money is to benefit society.

How have m youade it far enough in life to be voicing your opinions on the fediverse, yet haven’t figured out that a well-educated society is good for EVERYONE in that society…

Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.

My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.

I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.

m sorry to insult your coworker

Don’t be, most of them are barely more capable than apes. And that’s mildly insulting to a few ape species. With a little training, the apes would be far more capable and understanding.

This one in particular isn’t the worst, but when he’s on drugs he can be.

Most of them are racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, xenophobic in general… At least nobody has been wearing the Civil War Losers Flag. Well, several of them do wear plain white cut-offs…

A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.

He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it’s cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.

He said “They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that’s true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it’s not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich.”

And then he took a hard right turn and added that “all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress” are to blame.

So close.

Look, unless you want to spend some time in the pattern buffer, don’t complain. it’ll be sorted out soon.

Me, staring at my alarm about to go off in 5 minutes after tossing and turning for an hour: “this is the single most comfortable spot in the universe and I am so sleepy now”

They said “stupid”, not “evil”

Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.
