Working 

Anybody else having trouble finding work despite being relatively skilled? I would love some ideas for interesting jobs where you don't have to interact much with people.

Headphones connected, controller ready, collar on, it's gaming time, bois

BRB, resurrecting Eugene V. Debs so he can run for president for a 6th time in the 20s.

i love to entrust internet standards to google, the perfectly neutral corporation that has no vested interest in pushing advertisements

do you ever think about how google made a really good RSS reader, waited for everyone to switch to it, and then killed it, basically killing RSS

no context, lewd 

"My bitch? I think you'll find that actually *I* am *your* bitch!"

Rediscovering the joy of having a folder labelled "Games" in my downloads folder because the games I'm playing aren't on Steam

One of the games I just downloaded and rediscovered the joy in is Trackmania Nations Forever. It's free to play, not very graphically taxing, and basically an auto racing speedrun game. It was basically perfect for me back then. And, well, it's still *really fucking fun*. Like, holy shit. I can see myself getting addicted to this once again, just trying to shave hundredths of a second off a time to get a gold medal. OH IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Sure, it looks like a game out of 2003, but it's fun so 🤷

I think I'm gonna spend the last days of the decade playing some of the games I used to play on my old Toshiba Satellite. That thing was okay, but it was over 5 years old when I was using it back in 2013. It's Radeon X1200 couldn't exactly handle most of the games I wanted to play. So, I found other, less graphically taxing games to play.

2020 is the year we unabashedly like the things we like regardless of what other people think of them

go apeshit. you wanna be a neon-colored psychedelic fuck-fractal made of infinity scottish voles? do it. be a magical girl. be the edgelord chuuni kid you were shy about being in high school. inherit this sinful earth and hammer your selfhood into a shape you feel comfortable occupying. go for fuckin' broke because if I know one thing it is that only the outlandish will save us

I've solved my performance issues under Windows. It turns out that Soeedstep was fucked up. Disabling it has *massively* improved performance. Like, fucking, night and day. Suddenly it's running so fucking smoothly, Clone Hero gets around 400 fps with 8x MSAA, and I'm willing to bet I could actually get Sonic Forces to run reasonably well now. It's beautiful.

racism, abuse 

People are really out here saying, "Imus can't be racist, he adopted a black boy"

White people adopt plenty of children from other races. They often think they are "saving" them. Taking up the white man's burden by adopting a child and keeping them away from their own culture.

ICE right now in 2019 is separating little kids from their parents and shipping them off to white Christian foster agencies. So how dare anyone use this "he adopted a black child" as proof he was not racist

UPDATE: The CPU is problematic. I don't know why W7 hates my 4th gen Core i7, but it does, so, I'll have to sort that mess out

Kinky NSFW Robot Fantasy Redux (POV) 

So yeah, maybe we're on a ship in transit over some terrifically long distance and you're really bored, so you offer to let me play with you for a week to pass the time. Except, "playing with you" is giving me temporary write access to your core and permitting anything non-damaging or permanent to your frame. How else are you supposed to pass the weeks on a trans-planetary flight?

writing music but spelling all of my notes by adding arbitrary flats and sharps to middle C

Subtoot, lewd 

Things I don't understand: Anthro non-mammals (reptiles, amphibians, etc.) with tits.

I mean, I do get it. I love me some sexy big tit dragon ladies. But, like, I also don't. Only mammals have tits. Why does that lizard have tits?

I know correlation isn't causation, but I'm pretty sure that hard faults are behind those freezes (p < 0.05) because it's having to read from a 5400 RPM drive (p < 0.01)
