You have them in comics a lot, I wonder if...

Shit I never responded. But I hard disagree
See, if you can't trust anyone, your ability
To fabricate a plausible model of reality
Is compromised.

Nobody can interpret the world alone.

No small group can.

Too much is known.

I'm not a Beyonce fan but damn I'd wanna hear that

I have actually had to write something that used the Google drive API for a friend's company once and it was... Unpleasant. Counterintuitive. Woefully inconsistent. My solution worked but it sucked and I am a bit ashamed of it

I am not sure if I mispoke or misread. Apologies for implying ignorance, I just wanted to dump my mind

All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)

I'm sorry you lost me there mate. Let's take them in order

I'm not and have never been a political candidate.

The performative outrage of which I speak is people encouraging that the Democrats be punished despite the explicitly stated desire and highly probable outcome of the Republicans enabling greater atrocities, whilst disregarding the harder and more useful work of pushing individuals to oppose the genocide within the existing system of reality

What is this even meant to mean? This is precisely the performative outrage of which I speak, and it doesn't even carry semantic weight. It's just useless pseudo-accusatory sentiment

Performative outrage is so much easier than working towards real change though!

Been saying that for years. Same for Muse, although they took after different parts of Radiohead's ouvre. Never really felt anyone huge corresponded to the Kid A/Amnesiac stuff though. Nobody jumps out there.

Lol yeah can only imagine what playing 'hunt the bad device' would've been like back when those boxes had actual fuses on them. (That's the game where the main circuit breaker gets tripped and you have to figure out first what ring it's on, and then which specific item is tripping it)
