VG metaphors 

And they're not even really going all in on it! They're just sitting where we are now! (Not that there's much left in that part of the tree)

VG metaphors 

Thankfully, some organisations and countries have realised the fossil fuels path is shit and have started on the other trees. Unfortunately, the government of my country (the US) has decided to go all in on the fossil fuels path. Ugh.

VG metaphors 

If humanity had a tech tree, we'd be doing *shit* on the electricity generation part of it. Like, we unlocked some basic upgrades to nuclear reactors and some almost decent renewable generators, but we've pretty much decided "Fuck it" and put most of our points into completing the fossil fuels path, despite the fact they have rapidly become the *worst* part of the tree. Sure, they don't require many upgrade points and are decent early on. BUT THE OTHER PATHS GET SO MUCH BETTER!

Self-deprecating joke about relationships 

I have come to kiss girls and smash capitalism and... and I'm all out of girls :'( </3

Gender, advanced mathematics 

I supposed technically, it should be a spectrum in E², as technically both H² and E² are diffeomorphic onto R²

Gender, advanced mathematics 

Gender is actually a spectrum in H⁴, but we, being humans used to E³ and being completely unable to imagine 4D hyperbolic space, have simplified it down to, at worst, a binary and, at best, a spectrum in R² with some options off the plane. Not even all of R² either. Just the positives.

Being Kubrick he insisted on shooting it on location

Let’s make gifting someone a knife a symbol of queer friendship and intimacy.

It says “I want you to have your own power and use it to make yourself safer, because I care about you.”

Nonprofits encouraging people to scab for Amazon, so they can get that sweet, sweet 1% or whatever of every Prime Day purchase donated to their dusty coffers.

I'm not like other girls 

Other girls: Eat reasonable, if unhealthy food.

Me: Drives up to a chicken place and asks for "two dozen rolls and nothing else" with the intent to consume all of them by myself.

Bitching about computer nerd stuff 

Fuck the GNU Project. Just...fuck it. Fuck it to hell and back.

Turns out, setting the `POSIXLY_CORRECT` environment variable causes things to break, meaning that the GNU Project is doing things so far from standards, I literally *have* to use their fucking software on my Arch system, whether I like it or not.

Thanks, guys. I'm glad you're freeing me from the tyranny of not being able to control my own computer. You're doing a great job. /s

US Politics snark 

Don't get me wrong, there are some left-leaning trends in the Democratic Party, thanks to the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes and Bernie Sanderses of the party, but, for the most part, fuck 'em.
