We should have an awful meet up next year to gloat over our victory

Maybe you could paint the wall greenscreen, and hide it behind a tapestry when not in use. Then you wouldn’t need a place to store or deploy the screen frame hardware.

edit: froztbyte has a good point! To clarify, I mean only an appropriate square of wall that is in view of the camera. Also, I’m a deranged person that consumes pivot via podcast, so I don’t know the layout of the room. A more clever person than I would have checked on that before offering a potentially impractical suggestion.

The lines weren’t nearly as gnarly this year, but the mild weather and extra positivity surely helped!

Common DragonCon W. The whole con was a lovely reprieve from the bullshit-industrial complex.

Unmonitored RSD is a real sonuvabitch

DragonCon drops the ban hammer on a slop slinger. There was much rejoicing.

Btw, the vibes were absolutely marvelous this year.

Edit: a shrine was built to shame the perpetrator

“Simulacrum” is the perfect word for it. None of these posers making a fuss about a corporate logo have simmered a pot of of soup beans in their life.

Hell yeah, thanks for doing this

First paragraph there is literally Hitler. o_O

really? Beyond parody.

Though, Yud sourcing that trash from an Omohundro did give me a particularly Nashville-coded chuckle

promise a cubit, give five to ten qubits

Someone I know once pointed out that the kind of people who become fascists tend to be 100% about vibes, and I think this is a case of that.

I’m just spitballing here, but I’d bet that she doesn’t like the aesthetics of being a right-wing shithead; she wants to be seen as a kind and empathetic person. Since she’s completely incapable of introspection, she’ll never take the actions that would make that true, so she’s stuck pretending to be something she’s not. A tragic case of misalignment.

Doing that in public is making her an easy target for rotten vegetables.

You live rent-free in so many big ol noggins.

All that acreage has to be adding up. Have you ever considered going into real estate?

There is a problem where well-endowed men will go to public places, drop trou, and do the helicopter dance.

This is called an indiscreet log-a-rhythm, and can be solved with quantum computers (or so I’m told).

Ya don’t debate fascists, ya teach them the lesson of history. The Official Sneerclub Style Manual indicates that this is accomplished with various pedagogical tools, including laconic mockery, administrative trebuchets, and socks with bricks in them.

I, an anonymous man from the internet who called Peter Thiel a racist hotdog, am the one with real power.

If they really believe in an acausal robot god who will wipe the board clean, why are they so invested in being racist little shits?

In six months, they’ll be making a killing selling em to people who are still mourning their AI waifuls and husbandos.
