Humanity is a lost cause. Still worth fighting for.

Don’t give anyone ideas.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.

Once.

Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!

A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.

But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.

Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.

There were three women who were best friends, took their breaks together, etc. And in the Christmas season they wore matching knit sweaters and would walk down the hall side by side so it would read “Ho! Ho! Ho!”

But one day when I was leaving the break room, they approached… and one was out sick. Before I could stop myself I asked “Where’s the other Ho?”

Might’ve gotten a visit to HR from it if I hadn’t looked so shocked at myself.

I would argue that it shows how blinded one can be by the demands placed upon us by capitalism. We think about the rewards more than the karmic costs, because it’s easy to think about what you got at Walmart but abstract how that’s undermined life all over.

I think it’s because the aroma of coffee is so important to its flavor.

My wife prefers flavored coffees and I shy away from them.

I thought I’d gotten them mixed or there was residue in my coffee maker because my coffee kept tasting sweet and I don’t add sugar or use sweeteners at all.

Across the room was a candle in a jar, lid off, unlit, hazelnut coffee scented.

ACROSS THE ROOM it was enough to make me think my coffee was actually sweet. So yeah, it’s all about the smell.

Sure, but a corrupt government can fabricate evidence to keep their enemies silenced.

Look at Russia and their treatment of Alexei Navalny.

Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.

Thus they can continue to run.

My friends are metalheads but I’m not. Popped this over to our discord to see what comes up.

First response: “Greenland is a country. What the fuck?”

I have two!

First is my kitten Maryjane, who jumps up to beg for a can of food, second is the both Miles Morales and Maryjane.

Miles gets on my shoulder to both beg for a can of food and get better access to the houseplants.

I thought that just made you invisible to security cameras…

Here’s a Reuters link from Google.

There have been more criticisms from governments as time has gone on - Brazil in particular has been in the news today for it.

South Africa has taken actions as well. And even if these two countries didn’t do this because of protests, they help to encourage protests in other places, to help to change more minds.

You can never know exactly what a protest accomplishes, that’s one of the ways they are so easy to minimize.

So I assume this attack was reported by the perpetrators, as spam on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are far far worse problems.

I was just being silly as this is about spoofs and not parodies.

Almost by definition that’s a parody.

But that’s also an extremely fine line.

Well my first computer was an Apple IIe, so yes. And I still prefer command line interfaces, even if they’re in a GUI environment.

But I suppose that was a rhetorical question…
