3 months agoLots of crisis heartening at the same time, but in the past that usually means things are going to change even more. But as some say, it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.

They never say that one part. It’s “The world as I understand it is going to end.”
Now it’s different systems, different people, different problems and nothing makes sense anymore. Their world ended.
19·3 months agoThe very classic four stage program.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What’s that?
Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.
0·3 months agoOne theory is dreams are you brain doing maintenance on memories. Doing a defrag, cleaning dust, something like that, but we don’t really know for sure. You briefly relive those memories. Another part of the brain sees those flashes of memories and tries to make sense of these, like a narrator that forgot the script at home. And that’s what you experience as a dream. You just had a strong response to this particular memory.
Rapid unscheduled disassembly, now available on cars.
And the other one:
“English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary”
There are also people putting grapes on pizza. Any feeling about that?
Cyberpunk 2077. But I don’t have to wonder about it. Its happening already.
And that’s why they slapped the juniors in the mine until they learned to keep the light out of other people’s faces.
26·4 months agoIt’s like playing Russian roulette. A big gun, 100 chambers, one bullet. You pull the trigger, click, no bang, you get richer. Click, you get richer. Click, click, click, you are wealthy. Click, click, click, you’re a billionaire. Click, bang, your brain is splattered all over the wall. That’s the game the rich are playing. You can’t keep winning forever.
There productivity show, creating the illusion of productivity is enough.
Is this a poop knife reference?
I would, but some idiot decided that we need time zones instead of actual sun time. Then another idiot thought it was a good idea to take on the time from another time zone for cooperation and business. Then the biggest idiot of all figured daylight saving time was the best thing ever. So now we’re two hours or of sync with the sun and now everyone is constantly jet lagged except for some early risers.
That’s their core propaganda mechanic. Some bit of offensive trivia is found and shared by Elon. He’ll tweet it. Trump will share it. It’s on the evening show on fox they evening and in newspapers by morning. Repeat this the next day.
All hail the Unimog!
That’s only around my work space. I don’t come near the work spot in my personal time and during my work time I don’t have time to clean it up.
Rest of the world: USA, you’re in your own for this. We’re not your rescue and evacuation force.
0·4 months agoYes, but many people need a small quick win first or they give up completely.
Rules are there to punish bad morality.
Trump and Vance are seen as morally good, so the rules don’t apply as they can do no bad. Things that the Others want, such as DEI, are naturally morally bad and every rule to punish them is fully enforced, and a few new rules are added as needed.
Rule of law and consistency do not apply for them.
