“Did you see that ludicrous display last night?”

It was a mistranslation. We are getting fucked by robots.

Twitter used to be a very effective tool for spreading information (good or bad). It was often used by people protesting against their governments to organize gatherings, events and all sorts of stuff.

Then coincidentally when the USA desperately needs something like that, it is no longer around.

I’m still doing a rule of threes either way.

And a lighter.

They stopped wearing the identifying top hats. Anybody might be secretly wealthy now.

Ironically I can even apply this thinking to matches of the Civilization game. In general I don’t do war if I can avoid it, I enjoy just expanding my own country and trying to focus on science and culture. But whenever some country declared war on me, I would defend myself and then move on to invade the aggressor, because I saw conquest as the only way to “win” a war. And then I would think “it’s so unfair that every other country now hate me just because I took some cities from the country that attacked me out of the blue”.

Then one day I lost some war and the other country didn’t take any of my cities. They declared war not because they wanted to conquer me militarily, but because they wanted to stop me from dominating the world in other ways (culturally for example - something I saw as pacific but that also allowed me to win the match and therefore caused others to lose)

Don’t think it’ll stop if you do switch to Linux.

Can one live on pineapples and coffee alone?

And then there’s IGN, who blocks you from even accessing English articles and redirects you to their local website.

It was the cashier on a stationery shop. She had to hold the mouse in place with one hand so it wouldn’t move, then used the other hand to click it.

I once watched an adult need both hands to click on a button and haven’t been surprised since.

Aphantasia can stop you.
