Oh no...
Got a mental image of marines getting sent in to sort out Boeing's QA negligence, and it's stuck in my head.

Pretty much. Once people got the spacing figured out there weren't really any improvements to be made since, really, web design is page layout design, so the functionality development doesn't progress independently.
Then some idiot figured, what if double ad space and quadruple dead space.

Noticed that in the announcement for the "golden dome", the dome in the graphic doesn't cover Seattle.
I assumed incompetence, but maybe it was malice.

Yeah, FA does it well. The ads are niched and they got, how should we say, artisanal quality to them that doesn't intrude, and the third party ones are inert banner ads so they're easy to ignore.
FA gets a lot of shit for not moving with the times, but the times... well, haven't turned out great.

No more Oreos. No more Marabou chocolate. No more Daim. No... Sauna... Ice? Whatever that is.
The only problem is to make good on that principle I have to try and actively decipher what tons of low effort poorly designed ads are actually trying to sell me instead of just ignoring.

In the past 6 months I've decided to just keep YT ads on and boycot everything I see an ad for.
Not sure if there's correlation but I'm losing weight.

I'm not sure what the frontman does these days, but here he is in 2012 (the bike song was from 1999-ish, when the group members were 15-16):

I don't know about the last part, but I know there's reason to suspect he molested a manatee, so my opinion of the guy can't exactly get meaningfully worse.

I'm trying to listen, but I keep being distracted by the guy on the bottom left who's snickering wide eyed and hyperventilating like Butthead.
I guess there's no exception to how you can tell everything relevant about someone from their company ><

So, uh, since this got some attention I didn't expect.
I make 100% chud-hostile sci-fi. Sometimes contemporary. Sometimes horny. Do have a look.

There is. And I'm trying as hard as I can to describe them without dehumanizing them, but I can't get around how they stay afloat by breeding faster than the snakes can kill them.

I wanted to adopt some ferrets to help cope with mid life crisis at 40, but I neither have the lifestyle or reliable income compatible with having pets, so it's close to home.
Pet 'em from me.

I haven't seen Andor, but even if I had I wouldn't compare current events to it.
I'd probably compare to other years in my lifetime, like 2024, 2021, 2020, 2016, 2008, 2005, 2001, 1999, 1995, 1991, 1989...
... Maybe I would compare to Andor just to avoid thinking about reality.

Widespread and normalized anti-intellectualism.
When people don't care about wanting to know how anything works, they just idle on to the least resistance conclusion.

It seems wise to be wary of a man who assumes strangers doubt he loves his country, and that whether he does is important.

Crunching an average off the top of my head, animals in captivity with access to clean water, safe food, and antiparasitic treatment live 2-4 times longer than in the wild, not counting accident or predation.

By the end of the song he's come to realise that he doesn't actually mind if he's stuck with it, since it's pretty extraordinary that in spite of everything it still gets him around.
The bike was real and was ridden around the stage in live performances.

In the lyrics, the mid-teen narrator laments the state of his bike, including:
-Only gear 1 works
-Front wheel is skewed
-Both tires are flat
-Mudflaps are straighter than the frame
-Chain may or may not move
-Walking is faster
-Saddle is actively trying to kill him
-It's heavier than lead

Glad you like it <3 Been feeling under the weather the past week, so trying to get back in shape sketching. Got a lot of ideas on the backburner.
The song is unfortunately not available online, but it is by a revue group from my childhood hometown.

I mean, I've heard of it before, listened to essays on it and stuff. But just rhetorically, how does bleach drinking form a community? It's like forming a Roundup cocktail community, or a rattlesnake-based masochism community.

I'm curious how he plans to square that, but the expectations are low.

How exactly is there a *community* for drinking bleach?

Inspired by the designs of @sergalprojects.bsky.social - whose, unlike those in the lyrics, function superbly. But it's the only song about bikes that has sentimental value to me, so putting two good things together.
