Rick Astley has done a better job of preventing people from clicking random links than any corporate cyber-security training.

@MostlyHarmless@thecanadian.social Work computer gets infected with malwareOh well who cares whatever bro I get rickrolledFUCK NEVER AGAIN @MostlyHarmless What if I told you that clicking random links isn't even dangerous if you have your settings set correctly?
I'm going to start a peanut butter company named Gif, wait for the inevitable lawsuit, and then let a court of law decide the pronunciation once and for all.

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.

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. I got the words "jacuzzi" and "yakuza" confused. Now I'm in hot water with the Japanese mafia.

@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. "But what if they don't deserve that money?" is somehow only a question raised about poor people.

@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 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. @MostlyHarmless history doesn't repeat; it's enforced. Imperialism has one playbook is why it seems to repeat. A Russian man goes to the store to buy bread. After waiting in line for seven hours, he learns they're out of bread. @MostlyHarmless Reminds me of this piece of satire... You millennials and your obsession with public healthcare. Back in my day we just died.

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. 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…” @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? 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 a lot of people working in big corporations may be able to relate with this. 12

@MostlyHarmless Seems reasonable. Did the person (or persons) seek consent? Bison have their standards.🙄
