Tbf there are probably far-right people who are more like the latter. Just b/c I do not recall ever hearing those arguments does not mean that they don’t exist!

Those people are working with the heritage foundation and other far right think tanks. They understand that their brand of mask-off fascism is problematic to a lot of people, so they allow their ideas to percolate through various right wing media outlets and entertainment personalities. By the time their ideologies reaches the mind of your average voter they’ve been neatly repackaged as “hey we’re just asking some questions here, we just want to get the facts straight.”

So do they just know absolutely nothing about RMS?

One problem is that there’s a massive upfront cost to get into VR as a consumer. Even the cheaper headsets are several hundred dollars, similar to a full console purchase. Which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, which means there isn’t as much of a market to produce games for, which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, etc etc etc.

On top of that, VR has the awkward problem of locomotion. Either you’re teleporting around the game world, getting motion sick moving around the game world, or standing in one place at all times. None of these options are ideal, and the only real solutions to this issue involve insanely pricy hardware purchases.

Maybe one day we’ll figure it out, maybe we’ll all be living in tubes playing games with our minds or whatever.

I’ve seen what AI thinks a hand looks like. I don’t think I’m ready to see what it thinks a dick looks like.

Quit.

The Office is a goofy workplace comedy when viewed through the lens of an audience member, but Michael Scott is an objectively terrible boss and a shitty person.

He’s constantly making comments that are racist, sexist, or otherwise ignorant and unacceptable in the workplace.

He can’t keep any information confidential, as seen when he outs Oscar for being gay.

He refuses to let anyone be “above him” such as when he ruins Phyllis’ wedding because her father made a great toast, or when he gets kicked out of the boat party for refusing to let the captain do his job.

“Oh but he cares so much about his employees! 🥺” No he doesn’t. That’s why he insists on making his employees tend to his slightly burnt foot instead of dealing with Dwight’s concussion. Oh, and let’s not forget the time he sabotaged Jim’s promotion by straight up slandering him to David Wallace.

I would rather be unemployed than working for such an insufferable man child like Michael Scott. The Office might be fun to watch, but it would be hell to live through it every weekday from 8-5.

How does Wojack Tate look so much like the real thing?

No, neither.

The only thing that makes creating an Instagram tempting is the fact that every single tattoo artist in the area seemingly uses Instagram exclusively to post their work, and you can only scroll through so many posts without an account. Makes it very frustrating to research potential artists.

Facebook the product is still called Facebook, Google the product is still called Google. It’s only the parent companies that changed their names, their products kept the same branding.

Twitter the product has been, or is being, rebranded as X along with the company.

I see you’ve met my boy Bobby

That was Ug. Really cool guy. His golf swing was immaculate, too.

1. My house. Bought it in 2019 right before the market went completely wacky. More of a lucky timing situation, but I’m extremely thankful to not be renting anymore.

2. A really high quality mattress. You’re supposed to spend about a third of your life sleeping, and the quality of that sleep has a huge impact on your physical and mental health.

3. A really good set of kitchen knives. I hate having to cook at other people’s places because of it, so many people have cheap, dull knives that do not do the trick. At my in-laws house I basically have to hammer tomatoes in half with their knives. FYI, you’re more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife rather than a sharp one.

There is also an incredibly microscopic, yet non zero chance that a single set of parents could pass on the same exact genes to two separate children conceived at separate times, resulting in 2 genetically identical non-twin siblings.

Oh no. I must have posted something that was t o o s p i c y

This is what kicks off the second Civil War in the United States. And just the like first time, those treasonous Emacs Confederates will be decisively defeated.
