some people aren’t meant to be a paradigm to emulate. some are examples for the rest of us to see.

and of course it’s a shitpost fake but yeah, the principle stands.

meh. artists grow over time. and studios grow in the flexibility they have to message. support another studio that gives you what you want.

support artists that make the art you want. don’t shit on the stuff others enjoy.

can you imagine fallout new vegas without the politics? og deus ex?

they want something that won’t challenge their preconceptions one iota. they don’t care about artists crafting a story, they want slop that confirms their biases.

great bacon requires time and 400+ f temps, and a watchful eye - flipping helps too.

then you can refrigerate it and use it for a week on baked potatoes, pigs in blankets, bacon bits for salad, bacon chunks for soups like potato soup and chowders.

it’s gonna kill me, but goddamn is good bacon worth it.

we used to do pigs wrapped in bacon in a blanket. pretty freaking good but you have to precook the bacon.

soylent mignon is made out of rocks!

wait until they can feed you paste but make you think it tastes good.

they also want skilled labor; they are happy to have it scrape from authors and artists - primarily the same groups who the ruling class despise.

fuck all the wasps I killed in life, I’ll kill 'em again

do no harm

you must be from a parallel timeline friendo. in this reality, google promised ‘don’t be evil’, then trashed that.

I remember those days, lived through them.

it doesn’t change the crux; you turned it on briefly and supposed can identify which one it was because it got HOT. this would not occur with LED lighting; only incandescent would get warm enough fast enough to maaaaybe work in this setting.

DO NO HARM is the oath medical professionals take, aka they hippocratic oath. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath

I break it down like this:

Free-for-all Capitalism has gotten us this shit state.

Free for all Communism has never worked in any meaningful way. Now, the always ready retort is “it’s never had the chance to!” to which I’d reply: it never will. If it can compete with other forms of governance let it rip, but… ? where is the success story?

Democratic Socialism has worked for the US already: the new deal, labor rights, Social Security, 40hr work week, etc., et.c,

/then came the 80s… reaganomics destroyed unions, made education a gamble… conservatives saw a path to reducing it all.

Democratic Socialism works very well in other countries all over the world: they recognize there are certain services that are critical to provide in order for democracy to function: fire, police, healthcare, disability affordances, so many things that government is uniquely situated to promote and provide.

I’m happy to change from free-for-all-capitalism, welcome it, but you can’t point to a hypothetical end point that’s never ever existed AND won’t be allowed to exist as long as resources require capital.

“oh that’s not socialism, it’s communism but won’t admit it to itself” is the weakest shit excuse I’ve ever fucking heard in my life.

dolts

scale. you don’t see aircraft that tiny being piloted by guys that big often.

fantasies can include lube

actually not really - hot specifies HOT; if it were room temp, warm, warmer than another that sat unused - sure. but you’re only flipping it on for a short time. HOT?

it’s pedantic, but parsing is important here because some HR shitwad decided these silly stupid games were a valid hiring method on filtering pedants apparently

yeah silly games for bored hiring managers

note the premise specifies HOT.

none of my LED bulbs get hot even after hours. they do warm up from ‘cold’ but HOT?

ymmv.

if the bulb is hot

if hot they’re using out of date lighting, who the fuck uses incandescent bulbs this far into the 21st century? they have failed their interview with me.

onions in something cooked, like red beans and rice? fosho

onions raw on otherwise edible food? naaaaaaaah

they make him cry. don’t kinkshame.
