Those poor independent little oil wells. Totally disconnected from kajillion-dollar global industries.

The most anticipated feature of 2015.

Probably not Ankh-Morpork, because Vetenari is nothing if not competent.

In undue fairness, accomplishing nothing was her job.

Mit pommes frites should be on the pommes frites. The whole thing belongs in one mess of a bowl. Deconstructing a kebab like this is a travesty.

Shagohodgepodge.

Reality is a team sport, to some people. They don’t mean things when they say words. They’re just signalling loyalty to their ingroup hierarchy, and playing a dominance game where they get to decide what’s true. It’s not a judgement call. In their worldview there is no objective means to evaluate claims. There’s just whatever their guy says, and whatever our guy says, and their guy is right because he’s their guy.

So please stop falling for it when they declare themselves fiscal experts. They don’t give the slightest shit. They’re just shuffling cards. It’s another song and dance they do, to grasp for narrative legitimacy. Nothing else exists in their moral universe.

Grenades are easier, but sure, that’d work.

My uncle’s pushing seventy and had a hip replacement he described like a magic act.

It’s great that general anesthesia is becoming optional, but frankly, I’d rather be under in both cases.

Could’ve had an episode where they tried as many experiments as they could fit into a two-week production.

Considering I’ve seen it printed on booty shorts, yeah, probably not.

I only recently tossed a Handbook Of Christian Apologetics by Tacelli & Kreeft. I was never devout, let alone outright brainwashed into anti-science nonsense, but at the cusp of my reddit atheist phase I figured a question this big deserved a fair shake. So I got a big ol’ book of the best arguments anyone had. They all sucked. So that was that.

The one that made me put the book down and go ‘yep, atheist’ was “the argument from magic.” You think about moving your hand. Your hand moves by thought alone. Magic! Therefore, Jesus. I fucking wish I was exaggerating.

Took another decade to figure out the people pushing these arguments don’t actually give a shit about being right. The point is performing loyalty to the ingroup. There’s a conclusion, and it comes from people above you, so your job is to make whatever mouth noises get there. A monotheistic god is only the purest expression of that tribalist worldview.

I don’t care if the robot that speaks English read the entire library.

How else was it going to happen?

As someone who routinely argues that Steam has a de facto monopoly… Google does not have a monopoly on search. Bing / DuckDuckGo works just fine. Especially now that Google’s completely fucked their own results.

Oh, Steven Moffat, no.

Striking while the iron is present.

Rooster Teeth’s “Immersion” did it five years earlier.

‘We’re not bitching and moaning, we’re just verbally abusing you for using software as intended.’

Hey look, the block button.

this shit is dumb

You have a terrible workflow.

Square peg, round hole.

I can hammer in nails with the back of a screwdriver.

people are gonna tell you its your own fault. And they’re right.

That’s just what people have said to me, personally, in this thread. Including you. The rest of the thread is worse:

Firefox fixes someones mental illness…

Is this a new mental illness I haven’t heard of?

anyone who needs (or let’s be honest, thinks they need) hundreds of thousands of open tabs has something wrong with their brain and should probably see a professional about it.

AKA User was so stupid, he or she should better not use a computer in the first place.

I have only ever been responding to y’all bitching about us. I am explaining, more politely than your conduct deserves, how and why this is exactly what Firefox is for. Mozilla explicitly tests for it. The feature is right there, on purpose, and works fine. It only fucks up the same way Firefox can fuck up the bookmarks y’all keep telling people to use.

Losing data is bad, actually.

I started taking backups of my profile because Reddit Enhancement Suite kept losing all my settings. You wanna whine at me that settings aren’t meant to be persistent, and I should reconfigure every plugin each time I start my browser? Because the difference between that list of options and the list of open tabs is next to nothing.

Avoid, frag, potayto, potahto.
