We stole fire from the gods so as to better be able to provide value to stakeholders
some call this a failure of imagination
we call it providing value to stakeholders

If video games have taught me anything, it is that if something is important and time-sensitive, then this is the absolute last thing to do, after completing literally every other possible task

*slaps roof, and five previously unreported military secrets fall out*
...these forums contain so many, somehow

with the traditional social mediae shutting down (either due to external pressure or an unregulated internal death drive), users are flocking to the one arena that has so far proven itself impervious to meddling or consequences:
the war thunder forums

A fun side-effect of having run an _ebook on the bird site for well-nigh a decade is that you can say, without hyperbole, that you were in on the AI revolution well before money people thought it was cool

It was only ever a party trick, of course - a markov chain bot trained on my own tweets - because that is always what it was

Seeing nvidia stonks churn through billions of imaginary worth brings home one of Marx' subtler points: the thing about private property is that the majority of everyone doesn't have any, so its abolition is surprisingly symbolic

Become the unexplained supernatural element you want to see in the world

2025
the year we figure out what is wrong with the world, and fix it

Fun anatomy fact: there is a 10% chance that you have more and/or less bones than the official standard number

the new swedish national guidelines mandate that you need a doctor's note in order to get the jab unless you're in an at risk population. medical professionals, who still remember the last four years, are not happy about this. thus, they have found a way to subvert this

inside of me there are two wolves

I keep telling that what Rosa Luxemburg wrote about advances in labor protection laws are not actual advances towards communism, and that capitalism as a system is either overthrown entirely or not, where gradual movements through reform are at best temporary strategic stepping stones towards full revolution. the wolves are confused by this. this is good. they could probably beat me in a fight

I didn't realize I was expected how to know everything by my second rodeo

the madlad actually did it

boost if you are circumscribed by self-initiated projects

There comes a point where "counterfeit product" transforms into "the last surviving record"
copy that floppy

I somehow accidentally ordered door delivery for the case fans (whose predecessors have become successively louder over the week), and now I am looking at an intermittently updating map of a delivery person making the rounds across town. moments ago, they were 400m away with an estimated arrival in an hour and a half, by virtue of intermediary stops

the amount of algorithmic and dark accounting thinking that deemed this preferable to the OG postal system is beyond me
