realizes a theme running through early songs by The Police
does the math

Wait… is early output from The Police basically late-Boomer/early-GenX incel-rock? 😬

#3DPrinting the person who posted this is very proud of the results they've finally been able to achieve, and they're great results.

The title however, is EXACTLY why i wanted a Bambu printer. I was sick of fighting with my printer to get good results.

To get results that look this good‡ with it i turn it on.

There's no reason other co.'s couldn't have the same quality. Most are just not bothering to update their 10yr old printer designs.

‡ theirs may be better it's hard to tell from pic

Apparently there's a "Rat Hole" in Chicago, and some 🏳️‍⚧️ trans woman felt it was important to leave an offering of 4 Titty Skittles.

Is the collective consciousness of Chicago creating an egregore? If so, what powers does this newly emerging god have, and why does it want / need titty skittles?

#Pence boosts 1 of #Trump’s top agenda items for a 2nd term: Using exec power to ban medication #abortion in all 50 states.

I genuinely don’t understand why this goal doesn’t get as much media coverage as, say, his dumb posts on Truth Soc

Alice Miranda Ollstein:

Pence says 1st things a conservative pres should do are:

1. Order the DOJ to stop investigating/charging anti-abortion protesters outside abortion clinics
2. "Pull the abortion pill off the market"

The true purpose of ContentID is to provide passive income for parasitic corporations who know it will take the average person too much time and effort (and possibly money) to dispute their millions of bogus copyright claims.

Everyone involved knows this, which is why they don’t bother to fix its overzealous claiming of stuff that is obviously fair use, or worse, that the claimants don’t own at all.

People who posted their layoff are flooded with DMs from others saying they feel less alone. Experts say the videos hold "isolated" bosses accountable.

Drinking Crystal Light, watching MST3K’s classic “Manos: The Hands of Fate”, and wondering why I ever looked forward to becoming an adult. Basically, a typical Wednesday night.

It’s sad when I look at old episodes of MST3K and think, “Okay, Joel/Mike/Jonah has to watch horrible movies all time… but he has free room and board, food, interesting robots, and job security, so he’s got it quite a bit better than most of us… hmmm, how do I apply to Gizmonic Institute?”

Today I have survived the third, and largest, round of layoffs at our company in the last 12 months. But a lot of talented folks did not, including over half of the team I’m on.

I’m relieved, but have absolutely massive survivor’s guilt.

Damn it all to hell.

I figured out recently that, if I just get a few adapters, I can hook up a total of seven monitors to my PC at once (I think)… and I might do it, simply because the idea of doing so is totally insane.

Able-bodied ppl need to understand that fightin for disabled ppl's rights is in their own interest too.

This "Must be productive and hussle and gain worth from it" crap is fuckin you up as well.

Oh, it's good to do stuff, but the expectation of "Put in a zillion hours per week or you don't get to eat" nonsense, it ain't no good. It's the shit they expect from you so powerful bastards can keep buildin their empires.

And fuck that shit.
