I always thought it’d be cool to build one of those remote controled nerf tanks but with a paintball gun. Then set it to patrol the house. It’s a lot more doable now that I’m running home assistant but I’m still not sure how yo make it happen.

I read shark lava in the same context as like, herpes and cat herpes. As in it’s to sharks what lava is to us. Does that mean lava for sharks is different than lava for us? Maybe, I’m not some shark theorist.

The field in which I grow my fucks lay barren, though fear not for I have finally taken to plow.

I played along and tried it with deepseek. Most attempts boiled down to “sorry I can’t tell you how to hurt people” but some creative rewording later and the general answer was unionize and turn AI into a public resource like libraries.
It’s not wrong, but it’s not actually a useful answer.

Kama sutra, and interestingly enough the sex positions part is a very small part of the overall text. It’s actually a practical philosophy on living a good life, the nature of love, romance, and finding emotional fulfillment. The way we refer to it today would be like publishing a bible with only Noah’s ark in it and saying the original was a book about animal husbandry.
More to the point, that was written ~1300 years prior to the events mentioned in the post and not published in English until 200 years after. While tons of places in the world had really progressive views when it came to women and sexuality, Europe has never been one of them and referencing most of the ideas in the kama sutra during this period would have had you put to death for heresy.

Ther stereotype that natives and Mexicans are dirty and smelly comes from the fact that they bathed regularly as a culture and European invaders saw that as disgusting. If you’re bathing daily you’re going to have a smell by mid day, where the Europeans were nose blind to their own smell and have be replying perfumes to their filth crust for months.
Also, Ben Franklin used to champion “air baths” which was the act of standing nude infront of an open window and letting the breeze clean you of your foul smells.

Wgrite an incredibly cryptic note explaining that the following pages are a coded manifesto pointed towards something valuable. Fill the next 4 pages with heavily encrypted text of something really dumb and pointless.
We’re still trying to figure out a ton of cryptic stuff, it’d be funny to have one just be a straight up hoax and still get taken seriously.
- Comment on Experience with Drauger OS? 2 weeks ago:
I have no strong feelings about snap, like flat pack I find it to be a coin toss as to whether it works fine on the first try or has never worked and never will. Does straight Debian have a desktop environment and consistent guides? The biggest thing that keeps me close to ubuntu is that I can always search “[whatever I’m trying to do] Ubuntu” and find a dozen guides explaining exactly what i need to make it happen and they’re rarely out of date or wrong.
- Comment on Experience with Drauger OS? 2 weeks ago:
That’s actually my primary reason for looking for other options, bazzite had everything pre installed so I didn’t have to hunt down which game software to install or what they so, I could just switch around and see what works. Now that I know what I like and what works, I can just install those myself instead of getting bogged down.
The big issue I have on bazzite is installing the little softwares I use for all my hobbies. Cura, linuxcnc, vsmodelmaker, media rippers, etc. I can’t install them straight to the machine because of the immutable setup so its flatpak or box buddy. There’s a 50:50 that the flatpak is broken, and I can’t for the life of me get anything to actually run in box buddy. If it does actually launch, any graphic sections like the build space in cura are just black. In comparison my partner’s laptop is Ubuntu and our server is Ubuntu server with docker. If I can’t just find the working copy in a software market it’s like two lines in terminal and I’m already using the software.

I actually popped into the discord, felt icky after leaving it during the ID change, and talked to the head dev. Apparently theyre looking for people to do documentation. Honestly his take on it and the fact that it’s his daily OS is pretty reassuring.

- Comment on Liberals and Leftists should buy guns. 4 weeks ago:
I really want to start a sort of civil movement charity type thing that voluntarily helps minority groups learn to operate and aquire firearms. Especially in the queer community, firearms are considered an icky or scary topic, but in this day and age it’s not something you can afford to be scared of. Breaking down the macho talk of gun culture and sticking to clear, safe facts will go a long way, same for a buddy system to help people people who might not be comfortable entering the gun culture oozing gun store to purchase a gun. I know a lot of women who want to buy a gun but don’t want to be a woman in a gun store.

- Disband the CIA.

- Comment on What are some good, casual mobile games. 4 weeks ago:
I quite liked Necromerger. It has a very fun monster aesthetic, the little guy talks like invader zim, and I honestly wasn’t put off by the minorization. Had about 100 hours and no reason to delete it after 8 months, so I bought the premium version, 9 bucks, 1 time purchase, just gives you more energy or something.
I ultimately ended up out doing myself, got to a point where I got my satisfaction and still had energy left so I ended up playing longer than I wanted. Can’t say I’ve ever complained about getting more game per game, but it was hard to put down when whatever I was waiting for showed up.

If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.
My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.
- Comment on When in time did America gave up trying to be great? Gave up as the example for the world? And now we are on our backs and refuse to get up like Bender off Futurama or a turtle? 5 weeks ago:
Frankly, day one. The idea that America was ever an example to the rest of the world is American revisionism. If you actually look at American history you’ll see the current American administration is very in line with the way we’ve always been.

- Comment on Humans have worshipped it from dawn of time! 5 weeks ago:
We literally don’t know! There’s a while anthropological study called child lore that focuses on the almost universal things that children share with each other and we still can’t actually find the origin of this.
My theory is it’s the true form of the yellow sign, the Lovecraftian rune that allows the eldrich being, Hastur, to exert his influence on mortals.
- Comment on Panic attacks before Teams calls 1 month ago:
A big emotion I’ve been dealing with is that the US decided to fall apart completely at the same time I finally got my life together. I used to be someone with a reputation, someone who didn’t have anything to lose or anything better to be doing. Now I have a wife and kid, career, I’m on my way to a degree, and I’m scared.
I didn’t care if I threw my life away back then, it waant getting used anyways, but now that I am using it I’m to terrified of losing that to protect what I have.

The best way to bowl is to put the rails up so no one can gutter ball, then play for lowest score. It’s impossible to take serious, no one can be good or bad at it, a 7/10 split still sucks, and the people in the next lane will be very confused.
Fun all around.

I looked it up just to see and I find just a butterfly knife? What makes the HOM chimera worth enough to make a knock off?
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 1 month ago:
Honestly, this is how I wish more of my favorite IPs would go. Elder scrolls and fallout especially, Bethesda couldn’t write a story for a bad porno, let alone compete with some of the story mods in Fallout 4 and skyrim. Just streamline the developer tools into an easy to access plug and play system for mods and quit trying to sell us a $40 knock off of an existing mod on nexus.
- Comment on Borderlands 4's New $30 Expansion Pack Isn't Winning Over Fans 1 month ago:
Bl2 was a game I play loved so much that I genuinely for the first time in my life understood how other people could make fandom a part of their personality. Despite having never paid full price for a game I pre-ordered Bl3. It didn’t have the spirit I hoped for but it wasn’t bad.
I’ve not even read into the story for 4. Lore is my drug and I cannot be bothered to see where it has gone in a franchise I once tried to laser brand Into my arm. It’s like watching a family member succumb to addiction.

PreSe was supposed to get two more story dlc but they pulled the plug on it. Had it gotten them it’d probably stand equal to 2.

It’s not the criminal history that got him there, it’s his connections. You’ll have to find a die hard socialist that’s also a pedophile if you want to win.

That’s actually a good question. Turtles are are notoriously bad at seeing transparent things, so it may be both adorable and frustrating to watch.
