The original was the word “airpods,” then the Marlboro one, then the following version: 78c
Then someone posted just the Marlboro edit and another person in know of the camel joke repeated the punchline in the comments.

This guy’s floated the idea of running for president in the future.
Our timeline is truly railed.

I think I’ve eaten at McDs like once in the last 5 years or so, but I’d still opt for the year of it in the knowledge that I don’t have to use it. Could feed a lot of homeless people at least.

No, such an OS would necessarily not be Linux.
You can have a different OS that can run windows natively–like React OS, but it’s very much not Linux.
- Comment on I didn't realize masala, was spicy 1 month ago:
Masala is fundamentally a blend of spices–though it doesn’t necessarily have to be “spicy” as in hot.

- Comment on Copyright Is Not Enough: Why writers need new strategies to stand up to AI. 2 months ago:
Copyright (and IP laws in general) is a means to capture parts of the market and is antithetical to producing a rich and vibrant culture. It artificially sequesters ideas away preventing a communal refinement and growth of those ideas. It’s commodifying nature corrupts creativity in pursuit of fiat.
I don’t like AI as a tool. It’s got a lot of problems, including it’s extortion of society’s creatives in pursuit of a diluted simulation of creativity–one which, as of yet, cannot produce something intrinsically new.
The solution to both of these is to remove the capitalist incentive and reprioritize society’s interests in the needs of the people. When creatives don’t have to rely on artificial limits of the market in order to stay alive and we can move to a system where creatives are free to create, not merely eek out moments of creativity between employ then they will be free to actually create–all of them, not just the lucky few. When the machines are decoupled from their own need to make money and are turned away from the simulacra factory toward covering essential, but boring tasks (and we’ve addressed the ecological disadvantages) then people will be further empowered to pursue creative interests.
Creativity should be bountiful and belong to society as a whole. It should not be a job–in part because we should build a future where jobs are optional. It should not be siloed into one mind for life plus 4 generations or trapped in an organization only to be checked out temporarily to boost profits.
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 2 months ago:
The ball’s still in their court. They are welcome to change their mind, but they should conclude the immediate interaction. A “we have filled the position at this time. We’ll be in touch if anything changes.” message would be sufficient and easy to automate. They just don’t for … reasons.
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 2 months ago:
Not remotely true. Having a job does not remove you from the job market. If I accept an offer for my 5th most desired position and a month later receive an offer for my 1st, I am well within my rights, means, and desire to just switch again.
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 2 months ago:
Well then I’m still waiting for them to carryout their side of the bargain. I submitted an application and/or attended an interview and am waiting for them to make a decision. Obviously that ball’s not in my cart otherwise I’d just tell them “I’m working here now!”
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 2 months ago:
When I get a job, I do notify those that gave me an offer. If a company has already rejected me then of course I’m not emailing them back to say “yeah, well in rejecting you!”

The printing money wouldn’t be enough. You’d also have to legislate what people are mor allowed to do after the money printing begins (like rent hikes equal to the average household size * the ubi check).

God (expletive), I hope so. Then we might finally be allowed to buy cheaper small cars.
Who am I kidding though, they’ll just ban all foreign cars and the only available option in the “land of the free” will be lifted Ford F250-child killer editions.

We are charging 1/5th the cost of everything through the straight, eh? That just seems like yet another illegal tariff just to appease the mal formed ego of our worst president.
- Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians? 2 months ago:
Appears I’d downloaded a genericized meme template.
- Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians? 2 months ago:
Murder is specially extra-legal, and as states define their own laws so long as their militaries abide by the laws of their host country and international regulations for warfare it isn’t murder.
They are both killing, however.
- Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians? 2 months ago:
They can call it whatever they like, but if there’s only a small handful the best the international community will grant is a “guerrilla” attack.
- Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians? 2 months ago:
It’s what the government wants to tell its citizens.
Any government can enact terrorist attacks or military strikes. However, random people can only conduct terrorist attacks (as they don’t have a military). The lines get blurred when you are talking about insurgent factions and occupied peoples. But it’s essentially a semantic choice depending on the propaganda you want to promulgate.
