Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Yeah no, they just didn’t care. Charitable of you though.

As a kid I had pretty loose video rental permissions. I frequently rented Jack Frost (1997). It was trash and I was too young to be watching it, but it ticks the boxes.

On Monday our IT desk lead literally died. The coincidence is doing my head in

I am a great defender of British fare while my American people look at me funny - salad cream does not make the task easier.

Nobody ever talked to me about Sonic lore as a kid, so I never had a word for it. I was too busy playing Cyborg Justice and wishing I was good at it. That game pulled me in with the cool vibes then dashed me to bits with bad controls.

Systematic answer: The Reddit commenter mindset. The medium of a link aggregator platform creates a dynamic where commenters receive an incentive to be the most punchy, the fastest, the most trenchant, the wittiest, the sharpest, the most meta, the most ironic. So people naturally overreach. They try to ring that bell extra hard, from a place that isn’t genuine. They end up seeming unfunny, mean, glib, or reactive, rather than genuinely witty or interesting.

Personal answer: wisdom tells us not to blame victims, so we know aggression says more about the aggressor. They might just be at a low level of personal development due to situational factors, or more profound deficits such as a personality disorder.

Private equity having a normal one

Unfortunately, stocks tend to move in sympathy with each other due to various factors, such as large ETFs and algorithmic trading. Natural price action is kind of broken at the moment.

“Capitalism breeds innovation”.

The innovation:

I went from US to UK. It was the easiest way out, as a dual citizen by birth. Still hard, with a baby and a wife in tow, neither UK citizens, during a pandemic. My job did a lot of legwork for me, incorporated a subsidiary in the UK for me to work here remotely.

Our families have only been American for roughly one generation so far (bar one or two grandparents), I’m just taking us back to one of our home countries, belatedly. Philippines seemed like a non-starter, as did Croatia. The UK has a lot of the same problems as the US, but at a different scale.

The craziest part was that until we emigrated, we’d never even been to the UK. But we had a certainty several years ago that America was going where we couldn’t follow. I wish I could have travelled more, growing up.

I’d say it was worth it. I just wish I had more cards in my hand to choose from, or that the UK was still in the EU. Whole world’s a mess these days though, just playing the hand I’ve been dealt.

The only way that doesn’t work is if it doesn’t work for you. I look like what you imagine when someone says “guy who ordered an IPA”, but imo we are all who we say we are. End of.

It means having an opinion was the only wrong answer! HA! Great, right?

Literally the definition. What is this gatekeeping shit?

I left my home country, but I’ve been fortunate enough to get friends to visit a few times over the years. Would be nice to make some new friends but my kid honestly runs out my social battery all on his own.

Are you mad that people got mad? Anger is not a subtle political instrument, a win is a win.

It’s been a week of boring data entry drudgery, but home life has been nice. Baking every day, spending plenty of time with the missus, and doing a few minutes of art every day for Inktober has been good for me. Looking forward to a weekend of Halloween-style activities. We’re Americans and of a slightly morbid bent, so we keep the holiday with a lot more enthusiasm than any of our neighbours. Last year was good for trick or treating, but we’re taking our costumes a little more seriously this year. Can’t wait to try out the new skeleton hand gloves, might post pics on Lemmy since we’re supposed to be testing out our costumes this weekend.

Waoooo lmao

Sooo

It’s illegal to be against the genocide, it’s illegal to be proactively for it. Is the only legal option to be not paying attention?
