I’d eat this in a hot second

Were nonetheless equally mean!

I think he’s struggled with new compelling characters tbh. Only one of his good films isn’t a character from the Ali G show. But give him enough time… I certainly wouldn’t write him off entirely. We’ll see.

This is great advice. It’s easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

Under any circumstances for anything

I wouldn’t take an eternity of existence under any circumstances for anything. Please just let me fucking die when I’m done.

You never quit Emacs. You just… die…

Big RIP. Used to go on that site quite a lot back when it still had good clients

National trust is in favour of peeing in the garden. Can be good for some plants!

Paywalled, can you dump the text?

Yeah, March 2025, don’t you remember? Plate armour was back in for a while.

Ah well fuck 'em then. Still, every time I go on there it’s fairly rich with memes and shitposts, and fairly low on everything else. Quite value that trickle of content.

Check where you are, because come on, that’s the whole point of this community

I think it’s genuinely an ambition, it’s just technically very hard

Yeah they’re not really pulling their weight though tbh. What good’s a hostage if your opponent doesn’t care about their well-being?

Yeah well fair play. I think you’re cynical, wrong, and actively increasing the probability of your unwanted outcome coming to pass by your language, so I guess we both just very strongly disagree with each other. But at least we can do it politely so at least there’s some hope.

I instinctively downvoted this because ‘copium’ is one of those load words that carries distain without engagement. Why? Because they usually are unsuccessful. They usually fizzle out. Some authoritarian regimes achieve weight and have a war, but that’s not always the case. UKs govt was borderline insane for, like, 8 years and that’s kinda mellowed now. France has had its flirtations, but it never really stuck. And ultimately I’m an optimist. And the word ‘copium’ is just short hand for ‘optimists are naive and wrong’ which… feels unwarranted to me

I know it’s not a very hip position right now but I think the incoming administration will turn out to be mostly hype. They’ll get bogged down trying to get the blue states to comply with some insane piece of legislation on something with no federal jurisdiction, and blame their failure to do anything on that.

Hey, there are two rust ones, check yerself. But the Gopher logo is pretty well known around these parts
