I think you’re on the nose, here. I laughed at the headline, but the more I read the more I see how fucked they are. Airlines. Industrial plants. Fucking governments. This one is big in a way that will likely get used as a case study.

Are you sure your friend isn’t just three beavers in a long coat?

Anytime I think of John Romero, I think of Daikatana and their ad campaign

If I had a kid that asked for Newports, I’d just give em to them. Kinda curious to see where that goes

Then, unless you’re the owner, you’re getting underpaid

An evocative image that truly captures a genuine facet universal to the gem of human experience, for in the gulf between every one of us lies some kind of weird ghost thing fuckin up the steez

Yeah, I’m convinced they know. We know it, they know it, and I’m pretty sure at this point they know that we know it. So, like, what, we’re all just gonna hold hands into the apocalypse? Sorry, I’m not trying to come off as being shitty at you. Like a lot of people I’m just very frustrated with the way things are in a wide selection of sections of society and I just can’t help but think of Kitty Genovese in times like this

This sounds like the plot of a 90’s movie

We’ve added this after hearing from some that there are times when they’d prefer to just see links to web pages in their search results

It’s almost like they know their product is shit

We are all malted milkballs in god’s regretful milkshake

It’s more like the floor is a belt sander

Life’s a piece of shit, when you look at it

There’s a solution you’re not seeing here:

They think they can just pave you over. Learn to use power tools and suddenly you can take just about anything apart 😘

This meme is about five bucks at Harbor Freight

Probably getting paid to spread sentiment, but the guys writing their checks really only know the steps to marketing a product while forgetting that the product also has to be, ya know, good. Typical MBA shit: put out a new thing that does an old thing in a new, walled garden sort of way then go absolutely HAM on pushing all the units before the influencers that still have souls start bashing it

Oh man, this is a thing I wish more people understood. The day of the first real human flight and the day a human being walked on ground that wasn’t earth only have about a 66 year gap. A lot of old folks who watched the moon landing saw the invention and proliferation of the airplane in their lifetime.

However, the engrams and algorithms that make up the human mind have been in constant development for tens of thousands of years. Far, far longer if you want to count previous versions that led up to what we’re packing. A popular trope in some older fiction was to displace prehistoric critters into the modern world and detail the chaos. But that’s us. We’re it. We’re the cavemen in a world of microscopic circuit boards.

Our achievements have far outpaced our ability to constrain them. Like, when we discovered radiation, we started putting that shit in everything. Fucking toothpaste. And sure, we learn, we improve, we adapt. Humans are exceptionally good at that. But it just seems to me as it has seemed to far bigger minds than my own that we’re still banging rocks together and fighting over resources, it’s just now the rocks have a faint glow and the resources are measured in GDP

I’d add the fact he was let off the hook due to his enormous profits. He beat the treason charges by having an objective measure of how very American he was. This was, of course, a fiction as usually these guys have to pay a fine, some small fraction of whatever was gained. They sometimes even get fingers wagged at them, I hear

SCOOTALOO GET OFF THE INTERNET IT IS BAD FOR YOU

Are you my cat?
