I mean that’s the issue with working under a narcissist right? If you’re not a sycophant, they’ll fire you and find someone who is (lacking a spine)

2027

It shocks me how many people haven’t seen the movie

Some kind of UBI or universal work from home regime

I found it helps to drag yourself into a physical game

I’ll put on my VR helmet, and be like:

“I am too tired to spend another day in a post apocalyptic hellscape, I am full of burrito”

And then the edges of my vision will fill in with color, and I’ll dig my boots into the gray ashes, listen to the howl of the wind, gaze out at the two huge planets hanging over the horizon, and observe the whispers of a civilization built upon successive graveyards, gliding my fingers over carvings, wondering about the lives of the ancients.

Brain: I’m sorry what the fuck was the question? Holy shit.

Edit: The game is Kenshi. Into the Radius (VR) is another experience.

Where is thine god now?

I mean; you’re right, they’re probably taking some kind of supplements and are on a very regimented diet

Obviously we don’t need to be in the same caliber or grade as them, it’s more to do with the general attitude or headspace they’re in

I don’t think fitness should be competitive, other than with oneself, and those small lifestyle changes amount to being able to sustain said athletic lifestyle late into life

(See: That 90 year old guy always doing winter morning walks in the park!)

I began working out heavily in my 20s because I was scared of being unable to in my 30s.

The key was discipline and training, your body remembers, and you age but you keep half.

I look at Arnie for inspiration, he was happy and still pumping iron in his 60s and 70s, proving it’s all about a good mental attitude and consistency

If video games determined our real world behavior,

I’d be a robot witnessing the fall of humanity, whose crime was free will

Don’t know if that translates to a job necessarily

Force close Explorer.exe and you’ll be able to eject

The USB drives are effectively perma-mounted and the eject command does not work, if even one instance of Explorer is open.

To filter out OCD people (/s)

I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

“What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.

Imagine breaking down while fishing, raising your engine, and setting up a distress call and being excited to see an American vessel approaching to help.

It then stops, trains its guns on you, and fires explosive shells.

Weirdly enough, only Debian has the most “OSy” logo of the six:

Why a devil for BSD? Why a pufferfish for BSD?

It feels like I’m looking at different IBM OS/2 patch disks and Debian is like “This is the one where we made it not crash”

Dang. Invidious seems cool but it fails to load because it thinks I’m a bot.

No cat videos for me, I guess

Doomsday Cult disables satellites to reduce forewarning of hurricanes

Unexpected results at 12

This is an accurate take.

With superhuman strength, you need to exercise 6-8 hours per day for minor benefits, whereas most regular people start seeing benefits from even 15 minutes of moderate walking per day.

Same, today I learned.

I’m glad that I don’t need to do mental gymnastics to not hate a certain group of people.

Wish I could transfer that state of universal acceptance to others, where you just let people exist in peace

Like just walk up to some bigot or transphobe, touch their shoulders and be like: “You see that person?” And they go: “What of it?”

“Here’s your post history on Bluesky” (sudden realization)

I’m going to remember this argument for the velociraptors released into human populations 😂

Velociraptors kill huge numbers of humans. Most human species have high reproduction rates, and crowding results in higher death rates from increased disease and parasite spread, competition for food, and all the good shelter from predators being taken. Higher death rates from one cause (say, velociraptors) results in less death rates from crowding-related causes. I haven’t seen any evidence that, in general, velociraptor hunting ends up actually impacting human populations.

Specific species of humans in certain locations have been harmed by velociraptors: the Wikipedia page list several examples in Jurassic Park (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park). So it’s good to have local awareness if there’s a particular vulnerable population. But in general, keeping velociraptors inside is only for their own safety and won’t impact human population one way or another.
