• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the music, but I have terrible taste. Beyond Hell is still in frequent rotation for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'd need to calculate the compound interest⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew someone would pull out their textbook and do the math if I played dumb. Weaponized incompetence wins again!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨vampires and werewolves⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A whole meme about it and not one “wolfman’s got nards”. Why do we let our culture die like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product..⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At the board meeting, I want to hear when they decided to broadcast that they’re expecting to get sued, but in a really cute way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'd need to calculate the compound interest⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That can’t be right, no bank could be so evil

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'd need to calculate the compound interest⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All the compound interest calculators on websites refuse to go over 100 years so I guess I’ll just take the 5 mil 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what timeline is this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just being a bit of a smartass with you, I know you meant well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what timeline is this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Chat, what kind of equivalency is this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z's 'overemployed' solution for a broken economy: 5 jobs and $3K per day. It's totally legal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For once, the quiet part is quiet; in order to suppress worker’s rights, employers need us at a disadvantage. Any breathing room, comfort, success, or independence we can win threatens them because they like us weak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We face nationalisation if we’re not let off fines, Thames Water warns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine by me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does some online shopping⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Two years ago I bought one pair of shoelaces from a website that looked like the old internet. It was fucking great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does some online shopping⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can hear it now. My kid’s generation is gonna be giving each other shit like "wait, you bought this off a website? Like a millennial?"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enjoying the outdoors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys…

  It’s the second best time to plant a tree. 😢

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is damned⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AAAAAAAGH WHY DID I MAKE CONCORD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we are creators⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Skipping it is exactly what should be done when it is started. Refuse to fight under any circumstances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨last meal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d be lucky to meet 'er

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨last meal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn it, can we just use metric?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus wept. “Let me sue someone for not treating this ruinous housing bubble like I’m royalty for deigning to receive offers of fabulous wealth”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you miss all the shots you don't take⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough! Not going back though, I’m doing just fine with maapl.net for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you miss all the shots you don't take⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All I know is that the URL says google.com, I don’t see what you’re seeing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you miss all the shots you don't take⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Google was ignoring the quote operator these days. It always seemed to for me, until I quit using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fake news, I’ve never had bacon grease last that long. That’s why I’m not thin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how you can be a fan of physical media and still fail to see see what’s special about a community-supported video museum with a huge emphasis on physical media preservation.

  Now, is it the ideal solution? Maybe, actually - imagine if the state ran it? They’d refuse to carry certain things. Stuff could disappear if the wrong type of people got into public office. As it stands, they have a huge selection of R-rated, NC-17, and unrated media. They have every genre of film, stuff you simply cannot license anymore, rare and otherwise impossible to source media, and they do it with style.

  It may not work as a business model anymore, and humanity’s videography is not sanitary enough for it to work as a fully public institution - I think they’ve struck upon a perfectly workable (if inelegant) middle ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t say that about video rental if you’ve been to Scarecrow Video in Seattle. They go way beyond what any modern streamer can do. It’s an institution, and one of the only things I actually miss about the states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah exactly. It’s not the real 1995 unless you can get called a slur for not hyperbolically performing your agab like it was a Tony award performance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4D Salmon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  5D grizzly! Now we’re cooking, fuck yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be time to put your life in perspective⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eternity: vast and unsympathetic, big but meaningless, awesome in scope but profoundly empty

  My life on Earth: just for me, connected to many others of equal specialness, meaningful because of its finite nature

  Thank fucking god

  Is that photo AI though?
