Thank you to @solder_on for putting a finger on something I've been trying to figure out how to communicate for a long time (paraphrased):
Documentation is code for the human mind. Telling someone to read it again is just saying "it works on my machine!"
also, different "architectures" are great for helping expose bugs in your documentation. Have others read yours, and don't assume they are wrong to point things out.
Peak Dad rock was when the Offspring took a particularly bad Beatles song, and added lyrics about lazy freeloaders needing to get a dang job.
@dankwraith It's just...too...chill...kids should be outside playing, not studying hard and listening to jazzy beats!

it's hilarious when nerds think the voight kampff test is a real thing that we should create and not a brutal critique of rationalism

philip k dick: the insatiable imperial desire to categorize and control has produced a horrific society of nightmares
nerds: woah talking robots!
antiblackness, police violence
I just discovered Fables of Faubus, a little ditty Charles Mingus wrote about the white supremacists of the late 50s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT2-iobVcdw
For similar reasons, Smiths lyrics are a whole lot less funny and clever in 2019
Genius wants to claim the song is satirical, which might be believable if we haven't had 30 years since of Rivers Cuomo behaving like an ass AND writing other songs about being creepy towards women.
I could listen to "No One Else" and say, "This is fine. Just a perfectly normal song about hating your girlfriend and wanting a perfectly compliant passive replacement".
That's where I was at.
And even I could figure out the crappy pagan books I was reading were absolute bullshit.
A lot of the pagan books I read as a teenager were so sexist, racist, and antisemitic, that even my uneducated unwoke ass could see that they were bullshit. And I listened to Weezer.

I'm not a sapiosexual because I don't want to flatter my crushes and exes that much.

9volt @ bird spot is asking us to pace ourselves on Joker discourse but you know, considering it has apparently started domestic terrorism threats it's pretty hard to ramp down from there https://twitter.com/9_volt_/status/1177216730759933953

Does anyone have that meme-image with different cyberpunk and steampunk derivatives sorted by decade?
It usually puts cyberpunk in our near-future, despite cyberpunk being "80's/90's near future".
Fun fact: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep (the book behind Bladerunner) took place in 1991. And that was 23 years in the future when the book was written. 1991 is now 28 years in the past.
Cyberpunk is an alternate-history genre by now.
(I still would like that image)

@Bashabez5 Facebook's internal standards leaked a few years back and they're fucking wild. basically any generalization whatsoever is counted, but anything that gives even the most asinine plausible deniability is OK (e.g. "I don't hate all black people! just the children")

"We are working on a platform based on blockchain technology, which will have its own cryptocurrency called the Atari Token."
Just. Make. Normal. Hats.
