I was too. I surbibed with tribial blain dablage.
Nah, I got kicked in the ribs. Hurts like a motherfucker.

Yep. I write like a junior draftsman because anything else I do is pretty terrible.
You’re right, and he softened his stance with age (as well as his stance on sexism). To add to it on a personal level, I also enjoy the works of H.P. Lovecraft and he was wildly racist even compared to his peers.
It’s less about judging him by today’s standards than it is about lamenting that I’ll never be able to think of his work without remembering his racist views. I also can’t watch Call Girl of Cthulhu without remembering Lovecraft’s cat’s name. I can separate the art and science from the artist and scientist, especially if they’re dead so that they can’t benefit from it, but because of my own past (I was raised with a lot of passive racism by well meaning people) I can’t forget what they said.
It’s too bad T.H. Huxley was such a racist POS. He was a great paleontologist and I like his style of agnosticism.
Texas is racist, Florida is racist, but ain’t neither of them got shit on Alabama and Mississippi. Texas and Florida are just louder.
I heard white racists make fun of black people for that a lot when I was younger. But we ate it when I was a kid because we were poor and that was cheap and delicious.
Hey, leave Drunk Steve out of this. He did nothing wrong.
Profit isn’t the only individual motivator. Power is another big one, even if it is power over a very small fiefdom. At a certain point that’s all money is: a way to keep track of how much power you have. That’s why they keep going for the high score.
Just wait until 2038. More overtime!
Just tell him the only way to mine it is with windmill power. He’ll change his tune.
I spent way too long trying to figure out who was attacked in Georgia at a gig.
Reasonable question! It was a sub called “the_donald”. It started with a bunch of folks saying outrageous things that were satirizing Trump and his followers. Unfortunately it wasn’t outrageous enough because it was slowly taken over by true believers who spouted the same outrageous shit because they actually believed it.
Also what happened to t_d on Reddit.
How much of that is IT and how much is the damn CIO who was appointed because he’s the CEOs wife’s cousin instead of because he knows anything and refuses to change his password?
But I’m not bitter. At least I didn’t get caught in this one.
And an accountant, but yeah this is solid advice. It was definitely something I knew but didn’t realize that it’s harder than it looks back when I did it.
Yep. I’ve done exactly that. Something overlooked a lot of places is to actually start an LLC (it does cost a bit, especially if you’re strapped) if you can because that protects you. If you screw something up by accident a company can either come after you personally or the business that employs you.
At least it’s not still just Uwe Boll making adaptations.
I was guessing based on half the length of a bowling lane. I thought the regulation length was 20 yards. The rest I know approximate values of because I like to convert to Lonestar bottles and bald eagle wingspans every time “anything but the metric system” comes up because I think it’s funny.
I do the same thing for approximate weight in double quarter pounders with cheese which is about (but not exactly because I don’t care about that) 9 ounces cooked and assembled.
I want to know how many bald eagle wingspans it is. Even if they gave me the measurement in Lonestar Beer bottles I could work it out for myself.
If I assume the thing is about 40 Lonestar Beer bottles long (that’s a big fucking snake), that gets me from the 40 yard line to the 30 yard line on a football field. You can fit about 5 average bald eagles there wingtip to wingtip.
That’s what they said about me.
