We’re so boned.

I bet he would have gotten away with it if he used cash and not tainted chicken as a bribe.

And jazz music.

And waltzing.

And books.

If my kid was threatening to shoot up a school I'd be furious at them, too.

If I had a million dollars I'd start a company that sets up and manages federated software like Mastodon and Peertube.

I also don't want to go to work

It's currently September 19th

"Don't worry, you can just build one on the moon. You can even pay me to use my rockets to get there." - Elon

Little birdie in the sky,

why'd you drop that in my eye?

I'm not sad and I won't cry,

I'm just glad that cows horses don't fly

Part of the reason I hate people is I put a ton of effort into trying not to be a jerk, stressing myself out with constant worry from monitoring my behavior at all times, but other people don't seem to give anyone else the same courtesy.

And that doesn't even get into how hard it is for me to relate to almost everyone. I watch weird TV shows, listen to weird music, read weird books, and have weird hobbies. Outside of the weather I don't really have anything to talk to them about, despite their seemingly constant need for interaction.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,”

So he's not just a weird couch fucker, he's also totally ignorant of US foreign policy over the last hundred years.

I'm also that guy. And every time I say I don't like raw tomatoes someone pipes up with "Well you just haven't had a good one."

I promise you, I have had what people call a good tomato and I still didn't like it.

You are stuck in a container and interaction with others are limited to annoyance.

Nailed it. Either they're annoying me with noise, or I'm constantly worrying that I'm annoying them with noise.

There are far, far better examples of the undemocratic nature of US elections than having deadlines for filing paperwork.

And if a party can't even get paperwork filed on time, how are they going to do anything more significant?

I don't disagree that it's not democratic and full of bullshit rules. But don't complain you can't win a shitty game if you don't play by its rules.

And if you want a different game you need to kick the table over.

If you want to win the game you gotta play by the rules.

If you want to kick the table over then get on with it.

Yeah, they're totally being shut out by... checks notes not filing their paperwork on time.

Very disingenuous. It’s all about the shareholders, real estate investment, and pressure from city and business interests to get wallets back downtown at lunch time.

Everybody should pack their lunch in protest.

The article doesn't say what fuel it's using. Is it thorium? Or maybe they're experimenting with different fuels? Great news either way.

If humanity wants me to like them they need to be at least as well-behaved as wild animals.

Most suburbs suck because of the neighbors, too.

Seems the common problem is neighbors.

Imagine if we had to pay money to use elevators

Ego sum facis partem meam!

I was implying that the new-fashioned way would be leaving the planet

If it were like that you’d find me living in the food forest and not the apartment.

I’m just saying that even if there weren’t any cars it would still be too loud for me to feel comfortable.

Then again if it’s too quiet I still wouldn’t feel comfortable.

tl;dr I don’t like cities. Or suburbs. Or people, really.

Not really. If you used money you were put in a lottery to commit suicide and if you were chosen you got a big party to celebrate your sacrifice. The only people who had a problem with it were the Sliders.

You joke but the Canadian Rockies are pretty high on my list of places to wander naked until I die.

I’m surprised Kid Rock and The Nuge haven’t already worked together. Sounds like a solid platinum record for the lifted truck and Skoal crowd.

There was an episode of Sliders where Thomas Malthus was a significant person and the global population was kept under 250 million.

It sounded nice, even with the lottery system.

I’ve met more decent wild animals than I have people.

The suburbs are noisy as fuck. That’s why I want to live in the middle of nowhere.

If I could live in the city and never see another person I think I wouldn’t mind it.

No, wait, still not enough trees or animals or stars in the sky.

The new fashioned way doesn’t exist

Take me out to the black, tell ‘em I ain’t comin back.

As long as I can live in a hollow under a tree far away from the apartment building, okay.

But if not then I’ll just walk into the ocean because that’s still too damn many people.

“Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”

How is someone this stupid that rich?

“Kissinger speaks through Ouija board, endorses Harris”

Other folks will probably reply with "Cities aren't loud, cars are loud" but sirens and helicopters will still be there even if there aren't cars.

Plus if the city is quiet suddenly I'm all anxious because I don't want to bother anyone with my noise. Social anxiety and cities do not mix.

He got that Curralina squat

Yep! You can have multiple named screens, log them all individually, and they'll keep processes running even if you disconnect. Never used tmux but screen is usually installed on the systems I'm working on.
