Okay.

Yeah, we know, irony is dead. But if the world made sense then the Orange Idiot wouldn’t be in charge.

So she’s proud of being a gross slob?

Anyway most jobs I’ve had will have something to say about you not meeting dress - or basic hygiene - standards.

No there’s really people that stupid. It’s tragic.

Well it’s a good thing there’s no shortage of free replacements.

Define long form? Under an hour is about all I can take.

Good point.

Wanna bet?

Is there a book about how Ayn Rand was a total piece of shit that helped ruin America?

First existential crisis? There’s isn’t one. Once you make peace with that fact then you can overcome the existential dread of oblivion and move on content in the understanding that nothing you do matters in the long run, and focus your energy on something else.

Except he doesn’t really have unlimited money. Like most rich bastards he had assets - aka, hypothetical money (investments). They take out loans using that hypothetical money as collateral, and then have to pay that money back over time, which they can do by earning dividends (hypothetical money increases that they can access without penalties) or selling hypothetical money for real money (possibly with penalties).

Musk borrowed an enormous amount of money, which saddled the loaners with hypothetical money that began to decrease in value, and were this unable to profit by selling it for actual money. They therefore have to trust that Musk will repay these loans or else sell them at a loss to some other dumb bastard.

Omfg I never saw a scenario I wanted to see literally come to pass more than this.

It’s not gonna work. If these art AI thieves don’t care that they’re stealing then why would they care what the artists do or say?

I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.

It’ll likely be ruined either way. Municipal waste is a mix of solids and liquids that gets crushed, shoved, and tumbled around before being compacted down by heavy treads and buried in layers. Anything electronic is likely to be damaged in all that.

Most people don’t need to worry about the NSA listening to them write down stuff.

It’s probably genetic, like bitter vegetables (blech) or cilantro (tasty).

Interesting. I hadn’t considered that possibility.

Crackers don’t matter!

Yeah that thing with the lighter was never gonna do anything, but I’ll bet it sounded exciting in the commercials. I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had TV in like 8 years.
