Are Temu the ones who say “pretend you’re a billionaire” or something but their ads always have the most bizarre, undesirable-looking, nasty, cheap, plastic things in them?

Bem & Georrey

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Same thing happened here in the UK years ago. “Want to make out democracy better?” “Nah, mate.”

If you’ve got a spare quarter-hour, take a listen to the disquiet all those gifts can cause.

Yeah, it’s also exactly what the EU and it’s predecessors exist to prevent. We’ve never had a period of prolonged peace in Europe like we have now. And these utter fucking slabs want to undo it.

SUKBRICK sounds like a demeaning act that we brought on ourselves so lets go with that.

WFM. Looks like you’re using Let’s Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you’re good.

<Sips licence like a fine wine served at a dinner party.> Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.

JFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I’m thicker from having watched that. You can’t just post shit like that without warning.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, “those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately.”

“You’re about two kilometers outside the anomaly.”

“Chuck.”

“I’m sorry, what?”

“The anomaly. I named the anomaly ‘Chuck’.”

“NEVER name the anomalies. That’s how you get hurt.”

Dynamo Episode 5

That was actaully a brick joke in the first episode of Archer. Here’s the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahObgDYU58E

The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.

Interesting to see “trust me bro” get the same treatment.

“If you don’t vote, you vote for the winner.”

SAD!

…dot com.

I feel like this headline is like The Onions’ “No Way To Prevent This”; they can just keep on reusing it.

“Federation” is like “non-fungible token”. Everyone knows what it is, but they’ve never heard it called that.
