 [4] poor guy at the bottom of the stack. ah oh well, at least he's the only
 one. kinda makes me wonder if in some secret government lab there's like, a
 secret compound where they keep "the most miserable people in the land" and
 they just like... do horrible shit to them in order to increase the magnitude
 of their country's suffering. which, they believe, will increase the opposite
 of suffering as well, as you cannot bounce in a vacuum. sure would be
 terrible. I mean, we've sorta decentralized that. most of us go into work
 every day and that's often a difficult experience - not exactly miserable, but
 just like... not what we'd be wanting to be doing. hmmmmm did the founding
 fathers make the torment nexus on accident? whoops guess we'll never know

 ... why is that unfair? I would hope that taking a break is allowed. otherwise
 you burn out. cortisol overload.

 "trick or treat" doesn't mean "give me a trick or a treat"
 
 that's awfully presumptuous and demanding.
 
 No, it means "give me a treat or I'll trick you" meaning "give me my candy tax
 or I'll fuck up your lawn"

 there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD  2" - it's
 based on a Warcraft3 mod.
 
 In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
 competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
 
 it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
 opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
 can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
 the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
 accomplishing a different task.
 
 I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
 ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
 game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
 play against a slightly different opponent.
 
 but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
 it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

 I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
 have any bugs in this day and age.
 
 For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
 to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
 and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

 camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
 black or white.
 
 don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
 
 revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
 happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
 shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
 
 violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to
 play video games?"

  I am once again begging people to understand that “the government” already knows you’re queer whether you do elaborate online opsec dance rituals or not, and if they decide to just start shooting people for being gay, they’ll do it whether the evidence is airtight or not. is that grim? yes. but you can stop giving yourself undercover superhero identity PTSD about it

A two panelled meme.  First panel shows a guy kneeling down beside a pool with another person up to their neck in water. The kneeling guy says "Senpai of the pool, what is your wisdom"  Second panel zooms in on the Senpai's face, who says "what the fuck did you just call me"

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
 
 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
 scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
 with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.
