First trillionaire when?

Nice, she got a facelift and dyed her hair black.

We Interrupt This Programme
(Yeah, I’m oldschool like that)

Next you’ll be telling me that “So, how often do you flick the bean?” is not a great pickup line.

These days, what’s an ashtray in a car for if you can’t fill it with couscous.

We get them a lot around here. They don’t make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.

Church events work fine, too. My buddy and me went to one in a damp basement and it was about 30 people. 100% women. Average age about 22 I guess. All were dancing. They all immediately started staring at us as if we were edible. Within the hour, my buddy met what would soon become his GF, and I was approached by this amazing girl. I then went on a string of remarkable dates with her.
The kicker: It was a Christian event, but the girls we hooked up with weren’t Christians at all.

I gotta disagree with you here. At least on the sub(s) that I still - on the occasion of big events - take a glance at. To me, Reddit comments are the epitome of staleness and predictability. Also, their user base seems like a bunch of 40-year-old dads that mentally peaked at 16, but keep getting more racist by the year.

I’m getting a sort of buffer underrun when doing routine so I’ll always try and make trivial tasks or busywork faster, more efficient, or superfluous through process design. When I cannot do that, I’ll listen to music or podcasts, that helps somewhat.
The main drawback of this condition is that many employers think I simply “like to work” and bury me in even more busywork.

The experience? For me, very nice. MorphOS does what I want it to and nothing I don’t want it to. I’m using it on my laptop when traveling. I even bought a second computer, a tower, to put another copy on it.

I’m certain my productivity at work dropped significantly because of this fucking upgrade. It’s slow as molasses, at times unstable and 50% of the time I send the laptop to “hibernate,” both it and me wake up to yet another update cycle, meaning it did a completely unwanted hard restart and my unsaved work has been lost without a warning. Crazy my company is paying for that shit.

Now show Uranus.

Clinical insanity, that’s what it is.

It might not be a particularly new insight, but I find it worth repeating anyway: Musk truly is the new Ford. Runs his own company in the ground and has a hard-on for fascists.

I used to be active on one of my country’s most popular forums, if ranked by daily visits. Self-help Q&A style. Apart from me, there were pretty much only three users contributing about 90% of the content. One of them being the only mod. It took me years to figure out, from the timing and the writing style of the posts, that this mod also poses nearly all of the questions and gives all of the first answers too, using a new single-use sock puppet each time.
At the start of this year, it devolved into plain attention removed and it was really sad, so I left.

And let’s not forget that lies are a lot cheaper to create and spread than the truth. They even propagate themselves, or rather, people will do it for you, in their free time, expecting nothing in return. They’ll spin and develop them further and further, just like that. It must totally make sense for any top capitalist to harness this free energy.

Wanna feel even more depressed? Nearly ¼ of the 21^st century is already over.

Yeah, it would be so much better if everybody was just upfront about it during anamnesis:

How, do you think, did this contraption become lodged in your rectum?
I put it up my ass.
Why did you put it up there?
It was an experiment.
What was the purpose of this experiment?
To find out what I can put up my ass.

I feel like we’ve arrived at a low point of personal computing, whereas the arrival of the Amiga marked the high point. “Here, have some affordable hardware and software, we leave you alone to run wild.” And people did, resulting in amazing outbursts of creativity. Of the people, for the people. In fact, I’d liken it to the discovery of fire or writing.
Nowadays, computers are a lot more powerful, but they are not equally more empowering. Unless you think making or watching trite, interchangeable corporate puppet influencer videos is worthwile. Software is bloated, repulsive, intrusive, and you have to fight ads, upselling attempts and recurring fees on a daily basis. It appears to be a losing battle…

Hawk Tuah would have been a better fit.
