I’m not sure there’s a way to have proper assurances for such vast sums of silicon and money. You’re going with the flow of the speculation at that point. If it pops, their best hope is for bailouts to save them (not unrealistic, but their interlocutors will then be governments, not corporations).

And the gulf of Mexico will be a fucking cauldron

Fair, good on ya!

Sometimes when I’m biking I force myself to breathe through my nose for a while to dry out a runny nose. If I’m going kind of hard I end up with this look on my face like I’m holding back tears, mouth pinched shut, breathing hard and covered in sweat, and I get self conscious about what other people must be thinking about the scary dude trying to exercise his feelings away.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that means you’re unlikely to become addicted. You’ve course-corrected mid-post and now you’re anticipating that the argument will be futile. A dopamine fiend would forge ahead hoping for some great win.

I think he means that for him you’re only a star if any random person off the street has a good chance of having heard of you, no matter how large your niche fanbase is. It’s the argument behind the ‘Tom cruise is the last true Hollywood star’ idea. I think that’s pretty true, the internet gives a whole lot more depth to communities, but they’re much more isolated from each other than before. In my opinion that’s a good thing, you get a lot more diversity.

I knew a guy in college who wouldn’t eat fish because he thought they were a stupid animal and it was beneath him to consume them.

I’ve seen so many clips of Chernobyl I’ve probably seen most of the series, but I don’t think I could handle a full episode. It’s so stressful. It’s like uncut gems, I had to stop halfway through because I felt a panic attack coming on.

Yeah, this is the correct take. Objects or inanimate things have arbitrary gender, but sexed animals can obviously be feminine or masculine.

Edit: Oooooh, its name is Emily. Misunderstood what the confusion was about. ‘Une chatte’ then.

Personally know a faculty member at Barnard who fled the Holocaust as a child. Sure he must just be delighted to witness such terrifying bullshit. Fuck these monsters.

I feel like the contradictions are the point. The most desirable trait of people like Tate or Trump is their impunity. They keep getting away with heinous shit, it’s the one thing that makes them demonstrably powerful, despite being disgusting, unimpressive scumbags.

I’m getting Egger from MIB vibes.

With all the stuff about the ruthless efficiencies of multinational corporations, I took it more to mean ‘ill cough up the dough for a fairphone next time’. But maybe I’m projecting my own reaction to getting fucked by the 4a (all things considered, I’m actually kind of ok with the degraded battery life in the end, spent the 50 bucks on a couple external batteries and I rarely even need to use them).

Because placenta means cake in Latin, what we today call placenta being referred to in Latin as ‘placenta uteri’, ‘womb cake’. Yum.

I watched the first few episodes and he comes off as an entitled techbro moron. The last straw for me was when he went on a rant asking ‘what does NASA even do anyway, just let SpaceX take over’. Typical silicon valley bubble self-aggrandizing, thinking tech disruptors have anything to do with actual scientists, the worst kind of hypercapitalist obscurantist bullshit.
