Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

The Kinks are better than The Beatles

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

Also if I made something with “federation” I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up

MFW I show up in proper obscure cosplay

The closest thing I have to a worst enemy is the mother of my children, but my kids also really love my cat so I don’t know how I’d answer.

But if you’re a person who likes people and needs human interaction I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you really like Zoom calls.

When I lived in the boonies I had a house like that. It was on a windy mountain road that was rarely traveled except on Sundays when people would drive their classic cars around. I could sit there with a beer after mowing my lawn and have my own private parade, and walk the couple miles into town no problem.

For work I just had to walk down the hall because shipping my brain through meatspace to push buttons in a different place is stupid.

A few years ago I moved from the mountains to the suburbs and I hate it and can’t wait to get back.

I miss the stars…

If black people had gone back to traditional religions after emancipation I imagine the Reconstruction would have been even more filled with racist violence. Assimilating into the dominant culture is a survival strategy.

Monkey’s Paw: You are also paused. You cannot move to unpause. You are trapped in your own consciousness forever, as is everyone else.

But would we remember between quicksaves? Would other people? If my boss quicksaves before our meetings and then I quicksave and honestly tell him what I think about this job, whose quicksave would take precedence?

I heard somewhere that the reason people want flying cars is the same reason they wanted flying horses.

I have to go to Dayton for a week at the end of the month and if I could sleep in my own bed I’d hate it a lot less.
