It was better when Frank Herbert decided it in Destination: Void

The mother episode last season was so fucking real. Jamie Lee Curtis deserves so much respect for that performance!

It’s one rich dudes toy is how I see it. It’s a good distro but once I tried to uninstall some things and it wouldn’t let me and so that was the end of it for me at home. I use the server version at work for one machine.

I still had this on my clip board from earlier, when I mentioned it in another thread. One of my favorite parts of one of my favorite songs. The Dead Kennedy’s Stars and Stripes of Corruption. If you have never heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983DwAOCXRI

But what can just one of us do
Against all that money and power trying to crush us into roaches?
We won’t destroy society in a day
Until we change ourselves first from the inside out

We can start by not lying so much and treating other people like dirt
It’s so easy not to base our lives on how much we can scam
And you know it feels good to lift that monkey off our back

If you don’t know the song, its chalk full of cynicism and angst. But it ends with a good message. The fast beat and quick rythmic delivery of the lyrics with the beautiful surf guitar…

If we don’t try
If we just lie
If we can’t find a way
To do better than this
Who will?

Everyone should post beans

In the book series Red Rising, there’s a part where one army terrorizes a city by flying over it and dropping all the POWs it captured. Lots of them dropped from low orbit but high enough to take a bit to hit. All nude and alive, hundreds of thousands of soldiers.The character that describes it suggests that the city looks like the windshield of a transport after driving through a bug swarm. It’s such a brutal and horrific description of the violence. In a book series that really does a good job at describing violent uprising, that part really painted a vivid scene in my head.

The FBI Director puts covers over his camera when he was testifying in Congress. Its safe to say that it should be a mandatory thing for everyone.

There is a 5 or something part podcast about Dolly Parton, and in one part her telling the story behind the song.

It is a love song but not about being in love

Remind me to never get exposed to pastas. Tacos are much better , even when it gets complicated with troubles

Happy Woman’s Day!

I hate zip ties with a passion. I hate the reusable ones too. My go to is velcro. Get a big roll and cut it to size. Reusable even if you make it too short.

try a trackball, its hard at first but once you become accustomed to it, the ergonomics is so much better. I personally prefer the thumb ball style that Logitech makes.

Plus you get to tell people your cleaning your balls again, like the good ol days

except those times you get shit stuck in your teeth

Same. My friends are playing it but I’m not interested.

Today I wish I didn’t learn…

Perfection!

My instance is bugged… I look forward to it being patched.

If Trump would have had his way…

TWAIN is still my favorite

Technology without an interesting name

I waited until it dipped below $50 recently to pick it up. I knew it was not being reviewed well and a couple of my friends were happy with it.

It is a pretty game, but it is not a good game by any reasonable measurement. The story does not pull you in. The main characters are not engaging. The big city you visit feels like its full of paper dolls wearing one of 5 sets of clothing moving around in ways that makes zero sense.

What really drove me crazy was that they pair you up with a bot that walks around with you but it gets in the way all the time. Its walking on top of you most of the time.

The biggest beef I have is that I have played all of the Bethesda games since Morrowind, I even beat that game. I don’t care that Oblivion is silly and full of dumb. Its one of my favorite games because of the story development and the characters and the expansive world that is full of life. The people moving in the towns feel like they are going somewhere. The towns feel like they are put together with meaning. Skyrim is a high water mark in video gaming. We don’t even need to get into that.

Starfield falls flat many times. The enemy AI is stupid as anything I have ever experienced.

Its not a BAD game, its just not a good game. The graphics arn’t even very special.
