Sometimes I'm too tired to unmask.

No replies. Two edits. I wish you well.

Sometimes people with addictions need a little tough love like that.

Why do people do this? Is it just easier than the more difficult solution of giving someone a sense of connection and a sense of being seen...?

Fuck... If you've ever spent time with a population of addicts, you know they are the toughest people on themselves. They know they are going to die. And they know that everything they've tried failed to change that course. If you've ever met those people, which are most addicts own their addiction, you know that this is just another drop in the shame bucket.

If you can't sit with how off base your comment was, you need to really look you at yourself in the mirror.

Hit play on flight of the valkyries.
Light cigar.
Cackle ceaselessly.

Cut the wide end of. Dip your tooth brush into opening. Moan when you do. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I'm not sure I see that. The first section is about putting engineering needs first and the last section is managing expectations upwards.

No. The illustrator's name, Asia Orlando, is in one of the opposums.

"Be gay, do crime" rings right because it doesn't rhyme. It's four one syllable words each starting with a plosive. That forceful plosive sounds lends to the commanding sentence structure.

Surprised there's no one in the comments going bat shit crazy that this was made by AI. Are we not doing that anymore?

Here's the source for that image. While the article was published in 2024, the data is from 2023.

Tangentially related, last year Greece went to a six-day 48-hour work week.

 
 
 

The singular of data in Latin is datum, but in English it's data. It is a mass noun where it's not easy to break it into individual, countable pieces. Something like sand is almost never represented in ite plural form of sands.

 
 

I've been rewatching Slow Horses. I remember that feeling I had during season 2 when it clicked for me. It just felt like there was something going on under the surface. And if you're paying attention, you could just smell it. Season 1 wasn't bad, it just didn't suck me in. It just felt like they were trying to show you how smart the show makers in addition to telling a smart and subtle story. Season 2 did away with that pretense and introduced some smart, subtle baddies.

 

This could have been anyone of us. If only we had the courage.

 

I was wondering others have this problem. I see a comment. There'll be a few replies to that comment and then a roll up of the remaining comments will be there. I'd expect tapping it will unroll the comments. But when I do, the bar changes to a rotating arc icon, and then return to the rolled up status. Which is to say, tapping it doesn't unroll it.
