Yum. Black olives for the win.


I feel like it’s okay to downvote abusive or dishonest posts.



I read a history blogpost claiming that Ea-Nasir was a patriotic (but hot-tempered) man who carried on trying to sell his home town’s copper long after they had mined out the good deposits.


Only to avoid fashionable brands. I once bought a pair of name brand shoes and walked through the soles in less than three months. Won’t be wasting my money that way again.


For me it’s usually a case of “I feel like reading <TROPE> fiction right now.” I have a to-read list, and it’s also a work of fiction.


There’s a lot of people here reminiscing about how it used to be a better world. It wasn’t, but we weren’t aware of all the horrible hidden shit going on, or we felt less affected/responsible because it was a less connected world back then. Sometimes I miss my ignorance, but ignorance won’t fix the world.

So I guess I miss pulp novels.


My phone screen is too small. I have a separate, larger, e-ink screen for that.


Well, like the Pedo-in-Chief said: smart people don’t like me.

If people with education, experience and good judgement don’t like you… it’s a clear sign that having those things distort your thinking! /s


I smell like Product The Supermarket Will Drop In Two Weeks.


Ergotism? Sometimes wheat supplies got contaminated by a fungus that lets you talk to god.


Shades of Boris Johnson, who described COVID19 as “nature’s way of dealing with the elderly”.




I’m interested. What are your economic policies?

A lot of those things seem like infotainment rather than anything genuinely useful.


Couldn’t stop thinking about that film for weeks after watching it.


Try working in healthcare. Awful hard to say no when you have to face them across the lunchroom table every day…
