Huh, I was wondering what they meant by “roman.” TIL.

I’ve seen so many sales at the library, where books are sold for a few cents each.

It’s hard to read sarcasm on the internet, let alone in a thread with an already-established troll on the loose.

How I imagine the AI “hacking” its way out:

Next time, look up “Memphis Group” and show kids the over-stimulating chaos that dominated at the time (especially on Nickelodeon.)

20 years ago, I was a year away from graduating high school. I was looking so forward to getting free of the Monday-Friday system that made me feel like a rat trapped in a never-ending spinning wheel.

Now if I stop running, I lose everything. We’re all trapped in this wheel til we die.

Good luck. ❤️

Not yet, but according to the article, it will be available for free soon.

The Guardian, which co-produced the film, would make it available online for free in November after its initial theatrical run.

See, now I’m the opposite with Linkin Park. As a kid/teen I loved them. Hybrid Theory was the one CD I had that I knew would appeal to almost everyone who was riding in the same car as me.

As I got older, I started understanding the lyrics more and more. There’s so much pain embedded in that album. I listen to the lyrics and I hear somebody who’s been severely hurt, who’s writing and singing out their emotions, which have no other place to go.

Then Chester Bennington offed himself, and now the pain jumps out at me with the same intensity as the light from an on-coming headlight. I haven’t been able to listen to Linkin Park since 2017 for that reason. All I hear now is a suffering man that can’t be helped, and it tears me apart.

Maybe some day things will change again. Perhaps I’m still in mourning. A time may come where I listen to Linkin Park and feel more of a nostalgic joy, or a sense of respect due to knowing what hell Chester endured as he created something incredible. I’m just not there yet.

He definitely could’ve waited. The flight was a regional trip and only an hour long.

I bet he does it for the thrill. If he gets off on the publicity of the act and having other passengers be captive around him, then an airport bathroom would have defeated the purpose. He wanted his fellow passengers to witness what he did, like a flasher or exhibitionist.

I mean, a bunch of us are here. It might not have been earth-shattering, but it’d be quite self-defeating to say our little community is “nothing.”

The Fediverse received quite a boost from Reddit’s fuckery. We may not be “mainstream,” but I imagine a lot of us prefer it this way.

Don’t forget to tip on top of it all!

We are a long-traumatized generation in a perpetually-traumatizing world. Even when I’m lying down, I want to lie down.

Wait, do Australians really call 24-packs of beer “cartoons”?

I want to verify this, but with how much search engines suck these days I fully expect that if I look up “Australian cartoons beer,” it will ignore the word “beer” and just return page after page of Bluey.

That rule varies by location. Some facilities can handle pizza boxes, but not all of them can. It’s best to call your local facility to make sure.

Joke’s on you - with all the practice you’ll be getting, you’ll become a pro in no time!

On Reddit it is more accepted than not

That makes sense. That site has been working towards becoming the embodiment of Dead Internet Theory for years now.

They just seem to guess at the ingredients, too. Which is super helpful for those with dietary restrictions. Doubly so when they disable the “notes” section (where one might specify an allergen they need to avoid, for example.)

I don’t use Doordash or Ubereats or whatever myself, but my workplace does. When they want to “reward” us with free lunches, we have to choose something from Doordash. Trying to sift through the menus to find honest descriptions is stressful enough that the reward feels like a punishment. I’d much rather just get the money.

Unfortunately, when I asked them to just give me the money last time this happened, they gave me $5 Doordash credit. The fuck am I even supposed to do with that.

Schrag ordered citizens to clear the room and shut off cameras recording the event.

Aww, what’s wrong with cameras, Mayor Schrag? Does the idea of being filmed all the time make you feel uncomfortable for some reason?

The scientist’s desk design changes in all four panels as well.
