It’s from an old far side cartoon

Yeah it’s a good thing homework doesn’t exist.

-a matter of legal and economic interpretation

If there’s a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they’re a monopoly.

Starforge?

The description of that device and subscription is so fucking stupid I’m not even mad. If you fell for it that hard, you deserve whatever they throw at you.

Burgers are greasy, that doesn’t bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that’s what bothers me.

Stop putting sugar in everything. I don’t want a sweet Burger

They’re large flippered dog like creatures that take over docks and harbors.

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don’t have SD card slots anymore.

Not wanting unnecessary “features“ that are just thinly veiled spyware that overcomplicate every aspect of driving is not a boomer opinion. Wanting buttons you can feel without looking for instead of a giant screen that has automatic updates and needs to have access to your cellphone for basic functionality is not a boomer opinion.

Knowing that tacking voice activation onto every ‘smart’ device, including vehicles, is just an excuse for companies to record everything you say for their shitty marketing isn’t a boomer opinion.

In my experience doing tech work, boomers love that shit and fall for all of it, and it all fucks up in some way much more quickly than should be allowed.

Nail clippers it is.

Most of the grass i have is different from my neighbors, so I would assume it’s some kind of native saw grass. The blades are significantly wider and more coarse.

I don’t know what bind weed is, but I like dandelions okay. You kind of have to, you’re never going to win against them.

Just tell yourself bees like them.

Where im at, if I didn’t mow until June my lawn would be three feet tall and i’d have several tickets. Still, I don’t mow until may, and then just the front for another few weeks.

You want biodiversity? Don’t weed, don’t spread any pesticides or growth chemicals, and don’t let the natural grass go so long it chokes out the other plants. And the real key, is don’t do any of those things for years. From the street, my yard looks like a yard. It’s a different color than the neighbors, but it’s still green. Up close, it’s a salad. More violets, Moss, clover, flowers, wild lettuce, and a hundred things I can’t identify than grass. Its full of bees, caterpillars, beetles, butterflies, and stick bugs.

I got my neighbor on board, and we’re single handedly keeping fireflies alive in the city. I started seeing bugs I haven’t seen since I was a kid.

As an added bonus, since it’s a smaller proportion grass, I don’t have to mow half as often to keep it looking ‘nice’.

I’m not an ecologist, but I feel like it’s a solid step in the right direction.

I say since the eighties because thats when the pseudo minimalist home design and plastic siding started, and all furniture became laminated particle board, and fucking everything starting turning beige and grey for “resale value”. Everything became so commercial it had no substance, and we quit making things that would become antiques because they became garbage.

Make everything utilitarian, but make it so poorly it fails at it’s own utility.

The most impactful examples to me are architecture and furniture. Art deco and nuveau buildings were beautiful, even minute details were meant to be looked at. The same goes for craftsman and machine age furniture. Everything has become so minimalist and utilitarian since the eighties.

I can conjure images pretty easily, and I see patterns in everything

I’m mostly face blind. I work in optical, so I remember people by their glasses and how they move/walk. I have to have seen someone numerous times before I.can memorize their face enough to identify them, and even then if they look like a celebrity even a little bit my memory will corrupt and I’ll just see the celebrity in my head and forget what they look like.

I’ve just gotten very good at bullshitting through conversations

You should never do anything that isn’t fun. Everything is fun if you make it so.

I though it was shitty games done quick. I would check that out.
