The only possible cou ter to this is to enshrine the right to own a computer and internet access into your constitution or something like that.

Our constitution? They’ve got that thing hanging from a nail in the shithouse.

The best and brightest don’t work there anymore.

It’s a hell hole.

Because the police aren’t the slaves, they’re the overseers.

I keep getting left off jury duty by honestly answering the question about whether I would give less weight to a cops testimony because they’re a cop.

I suppose if there’s ever a civil jury trial that doesn’t involve a police testimony, I might serve in a jury.

A bit of a shame because I don’t mind being on a jury. I’m not trying to get out of it. I’m just being honest.

“In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people angry and has widely been considered as a bad move.”

Oh no. We must stop this threat to democracy that hasn’t already happened yet.

Thank God democracy hasn’t already been undermined for years.

I’m not sure how complicated things can get, but here’s something I designed with OpenSCAD that I thought was fairly complex:

If you sing along, the lyrics are, “A dream is a wish your heart makes.”

Those are the “Stand Your Ground” laws. Basically means you don’t have an obligation to retreat.

Because the victims of the rape of children in the Epstein case don’t have the money. The perpetrators do.

Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.

You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?

(Also not religious, but kept some of the philosophy)

We had one in an auditorium where I work. Only problem is it was underneath an MRI scanner. Every time they’d open the door to the MRI, the magnetic field would knock the projector tubes out of alignment.

The technician who came out to work on it said it was hopeless. He told us he had a customer whose projector would get out of alignment if he moved a speaker in the room.

I was so happy when we finally replaced it with an LCD projector.

My oldest has no children and works fully remote.

When the pandemic started, his company decided to have everyone work from home. They very quickly discovered that they were just as productive, and the owner decided it made sense to dump their office space.

A group of employees decided to go on vacation together, while still working. Since they are all remote, they didn’t actually have to work from home. They got an Airbnb with good Internet, worked during the day, and saw the sites and had fun together after work.

If you’re remote and you miss that sense of community, reach out to your coworkers and ask them if they want to hang out after work. It’s possible they don’t and you’ll be disappointed. It’s also possible that they feel the same way but didn’t know they could do something about it.

Either you’ll be the hero that saved everyone from their solitary existence, or you’ll have to accept that they don’t want to hang out with you.

She doesn’t have the job because she’s smart.

She has the job because she’s on their side.

Be careful being. Sometimes the pessimistic view is that you will grow old. Don’t be like me and plan for a massive coronary to end your suffering at age 50.

Turns out my family has disturbingly good genes, and there’s a chance I’m stuck for a long time yet.

They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised

A neural network that has been in development for 650 million years.

Nuke it from orbit.

It’s the only way to be sure.
