People have always been out for themselves, it’s not the fault of religion and religion is not the solution. Religion can give an outlet to those looking for structure and community in their lives, this can both be used for good and exploited in equal measure. The reason it feels more common that people are out for themselves is 3-fold: the internet has caused a weird bubble culture where you feel the need to make a name for yourself within the social media you are consuming especially with a growing population where it’s harder than ever to feel like you even matter, a growing divide in economic class where the people at the bottom feel the need to pull themselves up any means necessary, and an increased amount of rich people being given a platform to preach their success/luck to anyone they want as an additional status symbol whether or not it’s moral or even true

Either way, I’m using “platypus” for emphasis from now on. There’s something satisfying about it.

Thanks, I almost forgot to shave 15% of my neck today!

I normally do a ton of nibbles. What’s the conversion rate of nibbles to bites? And are chomps just a US unit of measurement?

Yes, you are definitely a billionaire

WSL finally has competition… American Sign Language

Server farms are the real money maker. Doesn’t matter the fad, they’ll need processing power from somewhere.

Even as a younger millennial they were barely in my life. My mom had one when I was in elementary school for work, and other than that I just know beepers from medical shows and Dennis, the beeper king, from 30 Rock. Technology is cyclical.

Is bad grammar not dirty talk? No wonder girls get freaked out when I say “let’s eat grandma”…

Is that not what desiccant packs are filled with? That’s why it says not to eat it. Because it would taste terrible (and other less fun reasons)…

Exactly, who would put a rebugged version into production anyway?

Yup, and they’re run on an estimated 8.5 million test machines

Damn, I thought I was being stealthy by farting silently like an assassin…

To be fair, this is the perfect room for Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog. It’s just missing a TV and a newspaper.

Unsuspecting? I’m pretty sure it’s on my wishlist…

I’m 5’4" and the term just makes me cringe. I don’t normally think about my height unless someone else brings it up or I need to reach the top shelf, but I don’t need encouragement in that case… just a ladder.

There’s something nostalgically comforting seeing comcast screwing people over with bundles again…

I already know what I did wrong, I said “thanks, you too” when the person at the concessions said “enjoy the movie”. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna cringe…

That’s the oldest joke in the book. Everybody knows you don’t need to unplug your computer, you can run “sudo reboot” from within vim just fine!
