You should give a shit, because it means now the library has to waste its money cleaning it, instead of funding programs or new books. Libraries losing funding makes the world worse. These people made the world worse.

Send me your address and I’ll come spraypaint your house. If you don’t, you’re complicit in the system and you like genocide.

How about I spray “Free Palestine” into your fucking mouth? You wouldn’t mind right? I’m sure you’d be talking about that.

Yep. This is one of those posts that should have just been a web search instead.

Reading a physical newspaper is lovely. Highly recommend.

To reinforce the shift in company culture toward “empowering and rewarding every employee to find security issues, report them,” and “help fix them,” Smith said that Nadella sent an email out to all staff urging that security should always remain top of mind.

Yeah that ought to do it.

Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind so fine go do something else. We don’t care.

Board games. Find people who play board, card or roleplaying games. Sign up to an open group to play. Its an extremely social hobby with no pressure - you’re just there to play, and if some joking around and friendship happens, its a great bonus.

these girls are like 30 years old now.

My brain has coalesced around this fantasy version of who I was when I was 25.

I’m in my 30s now but when I imagine myself that’s who I picture. And funny enough that person wasn’t even who I was at that age. I was way insecure about so many of the things I now think back on fondly. Getting older is a funny thing.

Nope.

“If you don’t like it don’t fly”

Seriously just shut up.

Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.

Li Bai - Quiet Night Thought

床前明月光
疑是地上霜
举头望明月
低头思故乡

Before my bed bright moonlight pools
Almost like frost on the ground
Raising my head I see the shining moon
Bowing my head I think of home

Not exactly sure how they made it, but this sounds like “generative ambient” to me.

People make music that sounds similar to this using something called a “modular synthesizer” - its basically a big rack of individual synthesizers that each do one thing, and people plug them together to create “patches”. Then, they run a wave generator through them to generate ambient music that doesn’t actually require anyone to “play” anything during the piece.

60°F. Not raining, but misting.

This is why I live in the PNW.

Life is an endless prisoner’s dilemma.

My IBS is acting up just looking at this picture.

This is because most East Asian languages actually don’t conjugate their verbs at all!

In Chinese, for example, you always use the same exact verb, you just add extra sounds called “particles” to the sentence to contextualize what you’re saying.

e.g. “I’m going to the store” in Chinese is 我(wǒ - ‘I’)去(qù - ‘go’)商店(shāng diàn - ‘store’). I go store.

To say “I went to the store”, you don’t change “去/qù”. Instead you still just say “I go store”, but you add “了/le” to the end of the sentence. “Le” is a particle that means “to finish; to be completed”.

So to say “I went to the store”, you literally say “I go store (past particle)”, and the listener knows that the statment “I go store” already happened and ended - past tense.

This is why native English speakers often think of this type of grammatical mistake when they think of common English mistakes that East Asian language native speakers make.
