Cue that video where an aitechbrodude said that people don’t like creating… (music in that case, but still).

Jesus say: Blessed are they who honour the wise of every nation, and make not mockery in their name: for they shall inherit respect among all peoples.

Oy, the comments from Redcaps. What a bunch of assholes.

And embedded in a culture that thinks money is the same as intellect despite most monied people being clearly deficient in the head.

Two words: classic games.

I wouldn’t take it even in those circumstances.

1. I don’t use American products. Ever. For any reason. I started de-Americanizing my supply chain in the '90s.
2. I don’t know which strain they grow in the USA predominantly, but it’s a singularly tasteless, texture-free one. When I lived in Canada, even before I started my de-Americanization, I bought rice from Thailand or India. Because they had actual flavour. Aroma. Texture.

Wow. My two least favourite people are fighting. I don’t know who I want to win.

Time for popcorn memes!

Dear Ambassador,

“Fuck you and your fascist pig of a president!” is a Canadian term of endearment. And that massive groundswell of not buying anything made in the USA or not going to the USA? That’s just our way of telling you how much we love you. (Hint: not a lot.)

Hugs & Kisses, Dianne

I remember reading¹ a story of a woman who “helped” her (CHEF!) boyfriend by just putting all the rice he had in so many scattered small containers into a single large one.

She thought all rice was the same. She found out the very hard way that it isn’t. I gathered from the reading that she and he were not together any longer after that.

(Note: it may sound harsh that he dumped her over this, but she’d asked about it DOZENS of times and was told each time to leave the rice alone. The fact she did it anyway indicates a serious deficiency in her ability to let well enough alone that spells a dire future for any relationship.)

¹ For the youngsters in the audience, reading is what we old-timey types did to get information back before everything was an effin’ Youtube, Instagram, or Tiktok video.

I use this program called “qBittorrent” to get music. Then when I find stuff I like, I find other means to get money to the makers of it (like merch or the like).

If I could actually put money into Bandcamp I’d go with that one for actually getting money to them, but they don’t accept any currency or payment scheme I can offer.

Point.

My dad once picked up a beautiful hitchhiker. In the course of the drive she claimed to be a witch who could turn him into anything she wanted. My father, being very skeptical, asked her to prove it. She whispered some magic words in his ear and, sure enough, he turned into a motel.

Automobile owner’s manuals are written, it seems, by unpaid engineering interns with no experience in writing for human beings.

You know, like how most computer manuals are written.

Definitely a tech type: Arrogant, snide, and dismissive of people whose skill sets don’t match their own.

I would start showing how little you actually know about anything (including your precious tech) but the lesson would be lost. You don’t know enough about even the basics of how we know things, how societies work, and what the relationship is between humans and technologies to follow along.

Buhbye.

And an enormous amount of human fæces as a binder.

He should increase the dose. Maybe mix it with booze. I hear that’s a great way to increase its effect.

He should try being likeable.

“Think” is doing some very heavy lifting in that sentence.

You make it sound like she’s been anywhere near Trump’s dick for the past decade or so.

Can they instead focus on an AI-unfriendly license?
