  • Exactly, that’s why they’re still around. They still haven’t been used at their intended scale since before most working adults had left home.

    If anyone else wants to feel old, MySpace is old enough to drink and the iPhone can vote. College graduates have never seen someone type on a t9.

    The “large vault” you’re referring to is either old enough to predate the internet or full of safe deposit boxes for rent.

    Even busy bank branches probably only need a vault the size of an armoire these days. People just don’t use much cash.

    Hot take, but I’m not sure anyone is at fault. A photo is a single instant in time, he may have glanced over in a way that wasn’t particularly creepy or noticeable.

    Now, this is the Zucc himself, so I’m equally willing to believe he was drooling over how her skin would look as upholstery on his new couch or something.

    Mine assumes you’ll take an uber to the nearest train station, which takes 1:10 and $23. Without the uber your only alternative is to walk for 2-3 hours (or cycle if you’re feeling brave).

    Oh, and this is Texas so it’ll be boiling hot at least 7 months out of the year.


  • I have two pieces of sage wisdom friend:

    1. You will spend countless hours of your life fucking. If you ever get the least bit bored, you’re doing life wrong. There is a truly infinite number of ways to accomplish the task at hand.

    2. You have spent exactly 0 hours thus far fucking. Like all things in life, fucking is a skill. It takes practice to be good at it.

    But honestly I don’t really remember, it was several years ago now. I can say with certainty that we didn’t have many toys at the time, so it was 90% me, her, and her shitty dorm room.







  • My cousin’s wife divorced him after 6 months to move to her home country. Her stated reason was that during lockdown, she was isolated from her friends and family, and she couldn’t handle being alone again.

    It was hard on all of us but…uh…what does she think the rest of us single people did?

    People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

    That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

    The level of incompetence I’ve grown to expect of my state government would suggest that they’d have fissile material delivered and stored in a leaky shed, where it will create runoff which contaminates the local reservoir, before a crackhead steals it, takes it to the scrapyard, and it is never seen again.


  • Like I said, we can’t/won’t effectively regulate the power plants we have now.

    Our government is only good for generating moral panics and building roads. I hope that changes one day, but it has been getting worse for a long time, so I won’t hold my breath for it to all be fixed tomorrow.

    Yes, but when things go wrong, the boom is relatively small and contained.

    We can’t run a regular coal or natural gas power plant here without fucking it up and getting people killed. Despite the safety of modern plant designs, I do NOT trust the people in charge here with fissile material.

    Fictional cops rarely have any ethics. Quite famously, they ignore people civil rights or liberties when they “know” that person is guilty.

    It’s like the male lead of a shitty romance novel acting super creepy, abusive, and rapey, but it’s okay because it’s fiction and they always luck out and the woman is into it.
