You live rent-free in so many big ol noggins.

All that acreage has to be adding up. Have you ever considered going into real estate?

There is a problem where well-endowed men will go to public places, drop trou, and do the helicopter dance.

This is called an indiscreet log-a-rhythm, and can be solved with quantum computers (or so I'm told).

Ya don't debate fascists, ya teach them the lesson of history. The Official Sneerclub Style Manual indicates that this is accomplished with various pedagogical tools, including laconic mockery, administrative trebuchets, and socks with bricks in them.

I, an anonymous man from the internet who called Peter Thiel a racist hotdog, am the one with real power.

If they really believe in an acausal robot god who will wipe the board clean, why are they so invested in being racist little shits?

In six months, they'll be making a killing selling em to people who are still mourning their AI waifuls and husbandos.

heh, I'm too basic to make a deep cut like that, I just went through a Cards Against Humanity phase in grad school!

I'm enjoying the mood today. We're all looking for what the next Big Dumb Thing will be that we'll be dunking on next year, like we're browsing the dessert menu at a fancy restaurant.

 

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

 

Absolutely delusional wishcasting on the part of our very good friends.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

 

From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.

There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526

 

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
