If young people are working multiple gig jobs, forming polycules to make rent and naming their houseplants because landlords won’t let them get a dog, how are they expected to become parents? Perhaps we can have some lifestyle programming showing them developing-world sweatshop workers who balance breastfeeding with working a 120-hour week as aspirational models?
Not having zero, they couldn’t have computers and thus social media, so they had to improvise
He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.
The possibility will be hanging over the mantelpiece like Chekhov’s gun, reminding them to do as they’re told, just in case they get any ideas.
Isn’t Spain’s left-wing government on the ropes with a corruption scandal, and likely to be replaced by a hard-right government soon?
Maybe they’ll all get resettled in Madagascar or somewhere.
By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time
If cats were allistic, they’d be dogs
They should make it literally smell like soiled diapers. Because the idea of imposing an unpleasant experience on others as a dominance flex is philosophically quintessentially Trumpist.
Crusader Kings III to be banned for promoting un-British values
IIRC, it’s a holdover of a failed Meiji-era proposal to “modernise” Japanese by replacing its writing system with the Latin alphabet. (The one advantage it has over Hepburn is that it is unambiguous, and any Japanese text represented in it can be transliterated back into kana without guesswork.)
Makes one wonder whether the boomerang was invented independently multiple times in human history, or whether it was a common technology in humanity’s early history, which spread around the world, but fell into disuse and obscurity everywhere other than Australia.
Maybe he can set his best engineers on building one
Bet it’s the Moonies. They’re cashed up and all over right-wing politics across the world.
I’m hoping that whatever it is, it’s not a lazy cash-in. The world doesn’t need any more ARM-based Linux novelty gadgets in replica cases running emulators more or less well enough.
Something building on Jeri Ellsworth’s FPGA-based emulation platform (commercialised in the C64 DTV joystick console) would be cool; perhaps a Commodore-branded turnkey MiSTer box with pre-licensed Commodore/Amiga ROMs and titles. That and/or developing platforms into modern equivalents (imagine a new Amiga running on ARM, with new versions of AmigaOS that have IPv6 and Unicode and all the technologies we take for granted today).
If labour is free, you don’t need industrialisation, and that attitude carries over to logistics.
Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
Not enough people. You still see people talking about it, citing their Hogwarts houses, playing the games, squeeing about news of the TV show snd so on as if nothing was amiss, and dismissing any concerns about the profits going to persecute trans people as some kind of weird Peta-tier puritanism. It’s still considered acceptable in the mainstream to be into HP and be accepted as a good person.
The reason they don’t have police beefcake calendars, as they do with firefighters, is because of all the Nazi/confederate tattoos.
If you’re going to name a cat that, adopt two and name the other Weed or something.
