Doing stupid things because stupid people do stupid things too 👌

Comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any more sense just because someone else does something even dumber.

In fact, maybe we should run offices like that. Just breed developers in a closed system

At some point going as far as trying to genetically engineer an even larger hamster instead of just changing the design so that it could use multiple smaller but parallel hamsters

but what about the potash quota

You’re not alone ❤️

Weird, here natural deodorant means it doesn’t contain any aluminum.

My guess would be that’d depend on who’s calling it “natural”. You definitely do see that meaning here as well, even in the same store

Huh, interesting. I could have sworn that the “block of crystal” thing I had N years ago was an antiperspirant and not just a deodorant, but it’s been a while and I can barely remember what happened last week. I just remember that it was some aluminum salt or another, but thought it specifically wasn’t alum (which I still use for small nicks and cuts)

“Natural deodorant” is usually just a block of an aluminum salt crystal, which’ll work just fine since that’s the kind of stuff in “industrial” deodorants too. Stains more and dries out your skin though since you usually end up with way more of the stuff in your pits, which is sorta ironic I guess.

So I think I’d go with Shiloh or Dayzie?

Truly a utility that we have all been waiting for without even knowing it.

Oh man my friend is going to shit a (happy) brick if people actually involved with the ISS end up seeing this.

I let them know! They’re pretty tickled that it’s clearly given people a chuckle.

It’s a ridiculous app which makes it so funny, but it’s also kinda cool that it’s possible to bang out an app that actually streams the real time status of a fucking space station’s toilets in an afternoon. I mean what the hell

I was particularly fond of the naming:

Really is isn’t it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.

Well, could be like Taiwan; never, ever underestimate the human capacity for fucking things up. If there’s one thing humans are exceptionally good at, it’s making the dumbest fucking decisions you can possibly make without being single-celled.

Who knows how the world would have turned out if things had gone in such a different direction.

Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.

This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

It’s ok, you can say “cum” on the internet.

Or did you mean one of the following?

aum
bum
dum
gum
hum
lum
mum
rum
sum
tum

Looks like at least one reader agrees:

Not oppressed enough
