A girl I knew in high school had parents that didn’t let her do very much. She got pregnant her first semester of undergrad. I think she also experimented with some drugs, but I don’t have first hand knowledge of that, just rumors.

Thanos is not much of a tweaker though.

A coworker of mine changed his voicemail message to start with the tri-tone that plays for a disconnected number (bah dah deet) followed by a normal voicemail greeting. The auto dialers delete the number from their list when they hear the tri-tone. It did confuse legitimate callers that were trying to reach him though.

And you have one less rival for getting a girlfriend.

San Jose Sharks too. I have a San Jose Sharks hat. I don’t know why. I grew up a Blues fan.

As a fifty something, I still have 40 years left. I’ll die way before I get there. Can’t risk running out of money in retirement. Maybe someday I will get a diagnosis that lets me retire for a few months. Straight into palliative care…

The better methods will never happen completely. Even in the midst of the abhorrent east African famines of the 1980s, people were still reproducing. The billionaires want us to breed more wage slaves until the petri dish is full and no more resources exist. Our natural inclination to kill each other just needs some more effective fuel.

The outcome is inevitable, I would just like to accelerate it and try to leave something for the nonhumans.

I used to be opposed to working in the defense industry. Based on my experiences, I have reached the conclusion that the only ethical outcome is the extinction of humanity before we make this planet uninhabitable for all other life. The sooner the better. Maybe raccoons won’t have billionaires, fascists, microplastics, etc. We should give them that chance. That’s why I work for a defense contractor now.

As a male Gen-X with short hair my whole life I am only dimly aware of what my female compatriots were up to with these. I admired the results for sure.

My late mother-in-law’s phone had so much malware running on it that it was completely inoperable. She had poor vision, so would just tap the screen at random to try to get dialog boxes to go away. She didn’t really use ut for anything but making and receiving calls. I booted the phone in safe mode and removed basically everything from it, but it would inevitably reinstall. Eventually, I just factory reset the phone to make it usable again. Then I went through the accessibility options and increased the font size to obnoxiously large so she could read it. She really just needed a dumb phone.

TI sold their defense segment business to Raytheon in the late 90s. I don’t think they make missiles anymore.

Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan from The Matrix. I want a video of the festivities to watch again and again too.

I know how to bag groceries, you fucking condescending asshole. The Walmart and Home Depot self check work every time for me. Kroger has defective ones. Maybe their scales suck. Maybe they need different values for their timers. I am not going to debug it for them unless they pay my software consulting fees which seems highly unlikely because they’ve broken for more than five years.

I hate the self checkout at my local Kroger because it works like fucking dog shit. Always playing a patronizing voice telling me to put the item in the bagging area even though it already is. Always has an inadequate amount of space in the bagging area.

If the purge happens everyone is going to be looting and murdering. I’ll be the person burning down Kroger.

Why does everyone always type 7 asterisks?

Can you teach me how to do that on my Geocities page?

My face when I realize the dude in this meme is probably mid-40s these days.

Gagarin is one of those super human people that makes me feel grossly inadequate. Look at him. Qualified technically, insane enough to get strapped into a ballistic missile and then eject out of it during re-entry, and handsome too. Cosmonauts and Astronauts are so many sigmas from normal that it’s hard to believe they’re the same species as the rest of us.
