with a ton of that crowd, they really have no idea what strength is. but they so badly want to appear strong, as they assume that will make others around them think they actually are strong.

it’s a sort of projection. they’re weak, so they worry that others will perceive them as weak. it locks them into a constant obsession with appearing strong, so people won’t realize how weak they are.

the fallacy in all that is assuming that other people care, most don’t, as most are locked into their own various insecurities and are usually worried about how they appear to the world.

real strength, and other qualities, isn’t worried about what others think. it’s like being cool. you’re not cool if you have to go around and tell others how cool you are. if you’re cool, others will recognize that pretty quickly. if you’re not cool, no amount of faking it will ever make others think you are.

The revolution will be live-streamed.

i don’t feel tardy.

i mean, as part of my job, i routinely take area hospitals medical grade leeches. it’s not like they ever stopped being used by doctors.

it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.

it’s pork dog, like many things it needs to be cooked properly.

if you want to risk it for undercooked meat, that’s on you. but certain things need to be sanitized. cooking does that. there are many ways to have chewy, yet properly cooked bacon.

people think immortality is a gift.

but it is a curse.

immortal bacon would be no different.

the times we don’t have bacon, give delicious flavor to the times when we do. if it was bacon time, all the time, then the phrase ‘bacon time’ would lose it’s significance.

i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.

The cost of cigs is also artificially inflated in many places. I’m glad to see less of the younger crowd smoking, that’s a good thing. But doing it in these ways just feels plain un-American.

We let an awful lot of things that are bad for us slide, because the effects aren’t as visible.

everyone knows, there’s a certain amount of fucking around you get for free. the real problem is that the finding out part can happen quick, and seem to come out of nowhere.

generally computers won’t stop doing things they were already capable of doing. tons of machines and businesses may rely on older hardware and software to complete specific tasks.

but yeah, a 486 is pretty past its prime, and the task could have been accomplished on something far more modern.

phones and tablets are fine for consuming media. they are noticeably worse at creating it.

i couldn’t imagine typing out long responses, sometimes with links, with a phone or tablet.

as for how many consumers still use PCs, hard to say. i know i don’t go a single day without using mine. whether it’s to play a game, type up a guide for someone to do something, or whatever else. on the flip of that, i also own a ultrabook that i use when i’m away from home. it’s capable of doing many things, but it’s no where near as capable as my desktop setup.

let’s be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.

Lawyers for the FTX founder say he wasn’t motivated by greed but by a desire to better the world through philanthropic giving

the lie detector determined that was a lie.

they’re commonly known as busy bowls.

we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.

for those that don’t know: the writers were using Lisa, in a very poorly made costume, to make a visual gag, and take a jab at Florida all in one fell, subtle, swoop.

even back then the state was a joke and the writers were having fun with that. a shitload of comedy does this. they use a stupid joke as a guise to tell a deeper joke. sometimes to throw people off, a stupid joke will be just that, a dumb gag with no real deeper meaning. most of the time that’s thrown in as a sort of variety from all the times the stupid jokes are referencing something more meaningful.

the court jester can sometimes get away with telling the truth.

when i was 20, i took care of my grandmother. she got evicted from a so-called ‘Christian’ assisted living facility, that evicted her on Christmas.

people… what a bunch of bastards.

it’s not like [human] Spez can think much either, so maybe that future is closer than we think.

we’re already seeing the results with Twitter, reddit’s just a bit behind the curve.

diving bell maybe?

My dad has been using my old 6S until recently. We bumped him up to a 8 I recently quit using.

Currently I’m using an 11 Pro. Great phone.
