same thing but it was black because of the licorice-flavored icecream at a tourist shop. someday i want to go back and try the other flavors: i suspect they’re all like that and this is part of the novelty.

if he needs a legal fund, he knows where to find it 😘

Is that the play?

the play is to get attention and congrats: it worked.

maybe get those tested before you party though.

it sounds like these are distributed at comiket. though if there’s anything else like this distributed as a magazine/postal subscription lmk – this would no joke be perfect for the local hackspace.

idk about mashed potatoes, but i do just add matcha to half the things i bake now. matcha banana bread? yes. matcha pancakes? hell yeah. does it taste better? actually yes, but more importantly my pancakes are caffeinated now, as i argue they should have been from the start.

people who wear glasses with text written on the lens are on another level. like “there’s this bit of text floating in the corner of my vision everywhere i go but it’s fine”

but what do you do when you run into something?

that’s so fetch

was it somebody else’s?

just heads up if you’re getting captchas on YT you’ll probably start getting those on other Google services over time too.

it snowballs like this: YouTube decides you’re a bot => you use less YouTube => Google/Alphabet gets less information/fingerprints of you => Google Search decides you’re a bot => you switch to a different search engine => Google Maps decides you’re a robot …

“Just in case I need it” is the principle of hoarding.

a large media library achieves a similar thing a subscription to on-demand streaming achieves: pick a film to watch, and you can immediately press play. there’s also a curation aspect. whenever one friend speaks highly of a film, i grab it. then once i have a larger group of friends over for movie night, we just peruse the library until we find something everyone’s in the right mood for. whatever we select from that library, i can be confident it’ll be received well: it’s already been vetted.

i mean it’s not that different from the original value proposition for Netflix, only it survives even after they turn off the money faucet.

make this clear to ST and the legislature. make your vote for their next lightrail levy conditional on it being fareless.

I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.

i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i’m not homeless or addicted, i just don’t enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.

where the fuck is South Park

weed was pretty endemic on our highschool campus. it wasn’t unusual at all to take a bathroom break during class and see someone zonked out and sitting against the wall in the hallway waiting for something to pass. i still have zero gauge on how much schools vary on this stuff: tell that experience to one friend and they’ll say “sounds like highschool”, tell it to a different friend and they’ll ask “what the hell kind of a school did you go to?” i’m sort of thinking it’s less “did your school have a drug problem” and more “did you notice the drug problem” at this point.

on the only overnight school trip i ever went on, Zach was taking too long in the shower and Garrett shouted at the bathroom “if you don’t hurry up i will shit in a bag”. we laughed it off but then he went to the minifridge, grabbed Zach’s lunchbag, squeezed himself into the little coat closet, did his business & left without a word.

The real red pill isn’t rejecting democracy—it’s rebuilding it.

the red pill was at least to value honesty/truth above your desire for comfort. you could infer a few more values from the context (e.g. some cloud of transhumanist ideals). more broadly the movie suggests one particular form of society as undesirable – and the case for why right-wingers are abusing the red pill is as simple as they’re pushing for the form of society from which the red pill was an exit.

but the red pill was not a push for democracy: none of the societies shown in that film were particularly democratic. much less was society after the red pill a rebuilding of the current/prior thing. so i feel like that article is rather abusing “redpill” as well.

Wanna put on the other two?
