I don't care if you're on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.

I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we've got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

My mom was a nurse who worked in geriatrics and so one day she came home from work and cooked us a big plate of spaghetti and started telling us about how elderly people with dementia would have no control over their body and would snot on their hands and then rub it on the the handrails in the hallway.

She should talk about how she kept on over and over again touching bare-handed massive piles of gooey green and brown snot while we're all sitting around the dinner table trying to eat spaghetti.

Unlike you mere peasants all of my pilots are ranked as land viscounts or higher

Honestly, fuck Microsoft, I fucking hate their user abusive practices, but I feel like that would be illegal to some degree or at least actionable and some sort of way.

Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?

I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.

I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.

It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.

Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.

The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.

I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.

I think we are a lot better at pretending that people don't kill each other often and for little reason than people from 1,000 years ago.

It's almost as if the reason it was made into one of the ten commandments was that people did it so much that the leaders at the time felt they needed to try to put a stop to it.

Probably the same thing with lying and lusting after your friend's wives and properties. In lieu of a government and system strong enough to protect you, you would have to defend yourself against your stronger or better armed neighbors taking everything they want from you, including your life.

I got really lucky. The first adult song that ever grabbed to me was Kansas's Carry On My wayward son.

I had never heard it before and on a family road trip to Florida I got to buy a cassette and I saw the art and I thought it looked good so I bought it and popped it into my little cassette player and I'm just writing down the road bored as hell my brother and sister picking on me.

All of a sudden "Carry on my wayward son" came on and my little preteen mind was completely blown.

I always preferred the Mississippi squirrel revival.

That's such a good song for anyone that grew up in the south in the church traditions.

My favorite key is C natural minor, even with even tempered tubing, tuning songs in this key sound like they are revealing mysteries and I love it.

Mmm mmm mmm mmm is in this key. It's great.

La bamba, I had no idea what he was saying but it sounded good.

My current favorite is Naeveran by Marius Ziska and I have no idea what he is saying but it sounds good.

I would be telling everybody about it unless Bigfoot asked me to keep mum.

There are some promises you don't break

Just to save you guys a click, this is a Google translate of, "some of you may die but that is a risk I'm willing to take"

你们中有些人可能会死，但这是我愿意冒的风险

Yeah that's literally getting to leave with a parade and arriving to being an instant celebrity.

This human being was around 3,000 years ago! They've traveled deep space through hypersleep! What mysteries do they have of the long forgotten and ancient past to reveal to us?

Also, here's all of your space credits from the $1.67 you left in your savings account. You're now a multi-trillionaire.

Tesofensine is an antidepressant with weight loss effects that can be purchased online without a prescription for research purposes.

It's fairly expensive, usually running about $250 for a one month supply, but if you need a temporary break from your depression then it might work for you.

However, because it is a research chemical, all of the side effects of the chemical are not known and you would be taking a risk in using it even for a short period of time.

Chances are it is likely safe but there is still a risk and you have to weigh that against your mental health and your finances and the costs and difficulty associated with getting put on a traditional antidepressant prescribed to you by a competent doctor.

Counterpoint, nuh uh.

There are lessons to learn from the past. I'll give you that. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I'll give you that.

80% of humanity is too stupid to learn from the past.

Letting them live in fantasy worlds of Make Believe causes no deleterious effects to you or to the Future.

These people who consume this material will choose to voluntarily remain stupid if given the opportunity to make that decision.

After all, to those to whom the truth would be misery, ignorance is bliss and it is folly to be wise.

I'm not paying 5 cents to read an article unless I know in writing that 4.95 of them are going to the human person who wrote it.

They get multimillions of hits a day on a mere dozens of articles. Economy of scale works both ways.

What they should do is offer a tier system through your internet provider. $10/$20/$50 a month and you get access to tiers of services without ads or tracking other than tracking that you used the site.
