Work computer gets infected with malware

The worst thing about the Final Fantasy series being VA'd is that we now know that 'gil' has a hard g in its pronunciation.

A friend of my wife, meanwhile, decided to pronounce .gif files 'yiff', and that's one of the worst things ever so of course I had to start doing it too.

@MostlyHarmless .gif and .jif are two different image formats so are pronounced differently regardless of the wishes of the creator of one of them.

@MostlyHarmless Always. Alas.

@MostlyHarmless

Mostly because of the continuous display of stupidity is my observation…

Correction, evil and stupidity.

@MostlyHarmless luckily, Marcus Aurelius already freed us from the obligation to have a take on everything.

"You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control."

Or, as Rick Sanchez (of Rick and Morty) said it: "Just don't think about it".

Helps keep sanity.

@MostlyHarmless Hope Émile Zola doesn't get wind of this.

@MostlyHarmless J'accuse!

@MostlyHarmless Gambling debt or onsen?

@MostlyHarmless picture borrowed, thanks.

@MostlyHarmless Deep in the Dev notes: this setting does not disable Giant Sake. Giant Snake is still present and does what Giant Snake does. Giant Snake however will no longer writer in the user interface or logs.

@MostlyHarmless I don't mind Giant Snake, personally, but some people like to turn it off

@MostlyHarmless You get a follow just for the hitchhiker's reference.

@MostlyHarmless yeah, capitalistic societies where capitalism has become religion have elaborate mechanisms to create a blind spot for that question except to degrade poor people.

@MostlyHarmless leaving that aside. When we're talking about the bare minimum money to live with safety and dignity, the idea that anyone at all might possibly “not deserve” that is repulsive

@MostlyHarmless

Level boss.

@MostlyHarmless not impossible that this is my next tattoo

@MostlyHarmless Vince is off this week....

@MostlyHarmless haha @katzenschiff

@MostlyHarmless
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MostlyHarmless

Totally agree!

@MostlyHarmless

Hell no...

@MostlyHarmless I think many underestimate the power of “I told you so”. It’s great at parties, helps book sales, and is really satisfying to say.

(Trust me, I'm a historian)

@MostlyHarmless history doesn't repeat; it's enforced. Imperialism has one playbook is why it seems to repeat.

@MostlyHarmless Reminds me of this piece of satire...

Salads don't have buns. I think that's the issue.

@MostlyHarmless

... And we liked it.

@MostlyHarmless @lisamelton Put some tape on it you’ll be fine.

In the 90s healthcare moved from a public service to a source of profit. It wasn't a socialist paradise before, but hospitals built for civic reasons were sold to corporations. There was a vote to allow this on the House floor, and envelopes of money were handed out just before the vote.

I'm a bit older than gen-x, but I'm still amazed what recent history has just disappeared.

@MostlyHarmless 😳

@MostlyHarmless

How very "1984" of you.

Please tell me that's not in your school...

@MostlyHarmless This reminded me of @Tutanota 🤣

@MostlyHarmless

My hearing is not so good, so I use Bluetooth hearing aids to watch movies. Now I find understanding some actors is a problem. No hearing aids for that i suppose. So I go for screen text.

@MostlyHarmless Assuming you meant on the program being shown, I prepared an irascible “Not if they know what’s good for ‘em…”
But if amongst the spectators, fine… as long as we can turn the feature off.

@MostlyHarmless Are we getting close to the tipping point where the number of people slurping on mushy straws is overtaking the billions of dollars wasted in destroying the planet?

@MostlyHarmless AAHHHH , I love those over the ocean air cruses!!

In my own experience paper straws aren't as terrible but it's funny when the beverage the straw is for comes in a paper cup with plastic lid, or even in a plastic cup. Environment, my ass.

@MostlyHarmless
Hahahaha, story of my life.

@MostlyHarmless a lot of people working in big corporations may be able to relate with this.

@MostlyHarmless
Lesson here, don't be like Bob.

@MostlyHarmless the only case in which 'good' is applicable

@MostlyHarmless 👍
