@cstross@wandering.shop Man, hoping we can give that shit a pass and head straight to Communism and a planned economy. We should be nationalizing Amazon and Walmart as soon as possible.

When a redhead tells you you're good-looking,
...well, I don't actually know what you should expect, but I doubt it's the thing angling to make its entrance rn

okay, this is funny. I didn't make it, but one of my genuine fears is Samoa Joe hustlin' angrily in my general direction; I'm amused knowing it's shared. top tier labels for the others as well. 😄

Fuckin' look at this banana batshit bullfuckery.
The fuck is a UPC bar code doing on the map? What in the blue fucking blazes am I meant to glean from the most generic "back of Agent 47's neck" possible symbol laid across a road?
Is that a town too small to be seen til I zoom in to its surface streets? Is the road temporarily closed there? Lane reduction? Is that shit marking fuckin' rumble strips in the asphalt?

Damn. My day went so well that I -chose- to sit downstairs with the dogs while the neighborhood jerk was trying to crash his ATV by PORING over his phone while piloting in a half-stance at maybe 30, 35 mph AND, when I discovered that my partner was working late, I managed to calmly stand in the kitchen for an hour to make an unplanned meal (that turned out pretty damn tastily) while I cleaned as I went
This is what's possible when the middle of my day is simply fucking chill: I have spoons
Goofus works for the private sector.
Gallant works for the public sector.
Gallant washes his hands for the complete runtime of "November Rain" and dries them well, following documented procedures.
Goofus and three buddies go in to wash their hands. They return ten seconds later, smeared in poo that wasn't present before, one holding half a broken porcelain sink, and tell you they're close to finishing the project tomorrow.

I start my morning by turning off everything but entertainment news. I move on to business news to take a Materialist's look at the world.
I decide whether I want to progress to national and world news. I don't have to on days when I don't feel capable.
I remain aware of what's happening, without seeing a horrible photo or reading 700 words of apologist bullshit.
My life is better for it. My stress and energy levels are better for it.
Give it a try. You don't have to let them drown you.
Goddamn.
Gonna be many, many things to fix after the Revolution.
Don't think we'll forget you, though, "commercial websites that block use when users block tracking". You might not be #1 with a bullet, and we comin' for you eventually.

@ShaulaEvans Imperator. (it's a bit of a cheat, as I haven't come close to speaking Latin in over 30 years.)
In English? Aside from the obvious, "heat".
Went on a long, exhausting outing. Made it back home with some food in my belly and some minor accomplishments under my belt.
Ain't about to hear much from anybody by way of requests for a couple hours, though.
Time to take the dog for a walk, hoping the humidity doesn't send me to shower as soon as we're done.
Maximum effort.

They've made two good Super Mario Bros. films now.
These plots are so blindingly simple and formulaic and full of tropes. And that's what the audience wants, as it mimics the games that created those tropes.
How fucking hard was this that they couldn't manage it before?! And this could've been great cel animation in a joint production between Mirimax and Nintendo and Toho, before you come with the "CGI" excuse. Might've taken less work.

The best things about this film so far:
- Mickey is a guy who knows that loss of knowledge is loss of life
- the wardrobe department wasn't afraid of clothing folks in me
Also, Miss Jada needs no hair on her chest, you silly
