You may have an insulin issue. Or a gluten issue.

I also can’t eat that many carbs in a day.

HI JUST JOSHIN I’M WOGI

If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

Non violence works when people care about what you’re going through. If the right people know and care they’ll come in and do violence for you to make it stop. Or at least verifiably threaten violence. But violence is happening whether you did it or not.

Nazis don’t give a shit about you, they’re eager for violence. They want to exterminate entire classes of people. Non violence does not work on Nazis, we’ve already seen this play out once before.

I have occasionally found the Google search AI handy in pointing me in the right direction, like when I can’t remember or don’t know a particular term for something, it’s decent at giving me the term I’m actually searching for. Can’t trust it for shit as it’s intended to be used though.

You think it might be??

Bro say that shit with some confidence.

Venture capital does not contribute beneficially to society.

That’s just it, they’re an easy target, and communications infrastructure is one of the first things you want to control or eliminate if you’re taking hostile territory.

Many years ago my grandfather was involved in an air force test of aerial defense platforms that used balloons.

The idea was you could station these things all around the country and at the first sign of an attack you could have missiles launched from 10k feet to anywhere from anywhere.

The test encountered two problems that caused them to abandon the idea.

These balloons were incredibly easy to shoot down. Which would, presumably, rain volatile rocket fuel and munitions down on whatever was beneath them.

And if a missile launched, but failed to separate completely from it’s housing, it would carry that balloon on a wild, unpredictable trajectory, until it collided with something or it decided it had reached it’s detonation time.

A few years ago my ISP pushed an update to my router that changed the password requirements, invalidating my passwords. Because I couldn’t enter the old password I also couldn’t change the password. I had to do a factory reset.

They already charge a ridiculous monthly fee just to use the bike.

And sure, it’s a nicer exercise bike, but you can get a similar experience with a much cheaper bike and a tablet.

Few natural born enemies exist, fewer still as deep and natural as the animosity between machinery and maintenance.

I mean yeah he’s totally a carny but don’t hate on carnies, they’re all carnies.

Actually come to think of it, I think most politicians are pretty much carnies at this point.

In our space time frame of reference, we never change direction, we travel in a straight line. It’s a straight line.

I was watching a film set in the Midwest and they’re driving between two rural towns but the corn they’re driving by in one scene is Marty’s long ear sweet corn, and then like two lines later they’re driving by Nor’Eastern Hard Grain. Completely pulled me out of the movie those two fields would be miles apart!

So the city I live in has a few of these and they’re some of the best burgers in town, for fairly reasonable prices.

There’s a fucking war on here for the best burger and I’m so happy for it. We don’t fuck around with burgers.

They’re so good and reasonably priced that the first time I saw this meme I was a little confused. Like yeah the aesthetic is kinda lame but that doesn’t change the food. Maybe the stools aren’t comfortable but like, there are regular tables. Like what’s the problem??

Then I went to another city.

My friends, I am so, so, sorry. You don’t deserve this. Good burgers aren’t hard, they’re really not. Just stay home, invest in a griddle. Even if it’s just a small one for your stove top, you can make better burgers at home. Make friends with a local butcher, he won’t steer you wrong. I don’t know what caused that trend but I know the only way to stop it is to stop going.

YouTube could fall off the face of the earth and I would probably see my quality of life improve slightly.

I don’t give a shit about Google. Perspective here is important when you threaten to leave the platform all together, as if they would care. If you’re one of the users they gain no ad revenue or subscription revenue from, they’re probably happy to see you go.

Could they be doing more to try to turn Adblock users in to paid subscribers? Sure. I’m not here to defend their methods. I’m just saying that if you’re not paying, and you can’t be served ads, they really don’t care if you continue to use the service or not.

YouTube advertising is more than 10% of Google services total profits.

That’s not a bonus, that’s a dependant revenue stream.
