it’s me 100% of the time

I’m a fan of Анна Ястрежембовская’s art, it looks almost real.

Don’t forget a good hat!

Drunk bees get their legs broken by the hive bouncers. It’s tough out there.

Makes sense, as you get older you get more and more disgusted by the weakness of your flesh, and tend to crave the certainty of steel.

The “spooky action” is really just the determination of a particle’s spin on one side meaning you already know the other particle will have an opposite spin. This probably violates locality because you gain knowledge about something that’s non-local from a quantum perspective, even though entangled particles have to start local (there are opposing interpretations, like the de Broglie-Bohm). While in fiction this might suggest that changing the state of one particle simultaneously changes the other, in real life this just means extra information you mathematically shouldn’t have, and doesn’t really lead to FTL information transmission. What it does mean is that if you want secure communications you can use entangled particles to generate a secret key, determining the spin of them on either side, and you can be sure that they haven’t been tampered with and that the other side of the communication will be equal and opposite. It’s essentially a one-time pad.

Assuming he was brain dead, at least he probably didn’t consciously experience that pain, in spite of whatever involuntary bodily spasms he might’ve made on life support. The man you knew died painlessly at least, and I hope that brings you some peace.

And some vampire traditions have them with arithmomania, which is why to escape them you drop a large number of something in front of them (so they’ll be compelled to count every single grain of rice while you make your escape, for instance).

Isn’t the balkanization of the US explicitly part of Russia’s goal, and establishment of city-states (or CityCorps) the explicit goal of the dark enlightenment types that Peter Thiel is backing?

I’ve had entire dreams in the command line, which was fairly incredible to me at the time because I still couldn’t read the characters consistently, and was only taken aback at the strangeness of such after the fact. I had a sense of what the commands meant and I knew what I was doing (hacking the planet), but while I couldn’t read it I knew what the output felt like. Dreams are weird.

I think that makes the meme more accurate, it’s almost not mansplaining if it’s not also subtly but confidently wrong.

I might be content, but definitely not original, more like a repost at maybe 30% the original pixelation with half a dozen watermarks from various sites with bad crops.

And 30 years after LASIK, you’d be incredibly lucky if your eyes hadn’t gotten worse to the point you’d need glasses anyway.

To be fair, it was probably more common at the time to know that Jazz has an identical etymology.

That would take them recognizing her as a woman, which I hope they do but don’t think they will with their current base of support.

The name keeps mutating for some reason.

It’s called a skeuomorph, and many times the camera symbol is one too, as most modern cameras don’t look like that.

Jeb! is near the bottom just to the left. Dead center* is the most recent image of Carter, presumably taking a nap.

Conversely, at most 68 million people voted for Harris. That means roughly 270 million people either didn’t vote or voted for fascists, which means they’re either so disenfranchised they couldn’t vote, are idiots, were scared for their livelihoods and lied to (meaning they’re still idiots, but at least they’re also cowardly), or are fascists themselves.

I don’t know when we’ll learn, but given our ever-deteriorating education system I don’t think it’ll be anytime soon.

What do you mean? The sun gets chased away every night, though I think that gets outsourced to Sköll, a wolf.
