177TB of data! Unlike the Doom in a
PDF thing, I will not be running this one, much as I’d like to. Maybe in 10 years when my D: drive is 2 petabytes

Man I used to really like this song before the last 3 decades of similar sarcastic confessional meta-commentary made it seem super trite

how’s that for timeline synchronicity, golden age sci-fi galactic council stuff.

certainly worthwhile when you’re in 5th grade, if that’s an option!
fun and fast read, which I used to read every couple years. but probably aimed at teens. so I don’t know if I can recommend it to an adult. like George Michael. loved it when I was a kid and don’t know if I can be objective now

I feel like a lot of people would just be like wtf, they’re the same person
people who ignore the evidence of their own eyes
also I know a guy who thinks Helly’s more attractive
I mean she’s obviously the right choice if you had to choose, but that’s not the question here

Actually, I could argue that Dylan, Irving, and Burt are all better looking as innies, but I don’t have as strong an opinion on that. I feel like I can plainly say they don’t fit the trend I detected though

like, anyone with the money has so many options, but "pay me a shitload of money" is basically "fuck you"

man, even by their own standards, that's so stupid. so many well-off Asian and European business people who would have ended up here if we still went out of our way to attract them... are just going to say fuck it, if I'm not welcome, there's Canada, Australia, Singapore, Netherlands, etc, etc

Ah! I read it as “random Italian-named scammer got the gray check, convinced a bunch of people he was SBF, got a ton of followers instantly because of the check”, etc

*how

Because “he did that account get the gray check?” seems to be the important question here

So am I reading this right? That account was never SBF but he somehow got the special gray check temporarily?

Hence all the shots of all the familiar toys and action figure accessories—the scuttlebutt was that they lost people in S1 by being so slow to get started, and not enough space wizards and the like. I trust them to stay true to the original in the show itself

They’re gonna get their repeat viewers no matter what. Now unfortunately they need to appeal to normies too

1. switch statements. early on, I got locked into thinking that more code meant harder to read and maintain. clearly wrong, but took a long time to come around on that. starting with Perl didn’t help

well, yeah, these examples aren’t haters like Trump’s gone for, just unserious people
comment in response to

ugh, they do, but it’s so unrealistic and kind of insulting that I hate to name them. I’ll just throw out Joy Reid. Maybe a Krassenstein.
But yeah, for the most part the analogous voices on the left oppose the Democratic Party, so it doesn’t work

wait maybe 2015, might have my 1080p timeline wrong. nevertheless, clearly not the early adopter/early majority-class displays that are the only ones I’ve ever shown interest in
comment in response to
post
Today, with ample data that should show I always buy the biggest, highest res monitors you can get for under maybe $600, they’re still sending me push notifications for small 1080p monitors I wouldn’t have bought in 2012

literally use “several” and “literally” several times a day

In case there was any question why returning all the “several”s when I search for “severance” might be a problem for me
