What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

"Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’

Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

I have always loved how simply Jesus spells it out.

As a kid, I always felt it was so implausible that the Jews would kill Jesus. Yes he claims to be God, which is a no-no, but how can a message of peace and love be so divisive? As an adult, I’ve come to realize that it’s divisive to people who are angry and filled with hate, to people who hate peace and love. The Pharisees of 30CE are the exact same as most Christians today. If you walked in to some Trump country Baptist church today and flipped over the collection plates and told everyone there they were going to hell because the want to deport immigrants instead of help them, you’d be shot for sure.

I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.

Do you think there’s a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

Nazi Germany persecuted a wide variety of people. While the Holocaust specifically refers to the atrocities committed against the Jews, there were up to 5 million more Slavs, Roma, LGBT, disabled, communists, and political disadents of any kind who were killed.

Particularly leading up to the Nazis sizing power, much of their initial rhetoric was absolutely targeted at Jews, but much of their initial action was targeted at communists, since they were political rivals.

There’s no way I believe that Deepseek was made for the $5m figure I’ve seen floating around.

But that doesn’t matter. If it cost $15m, $50m, $500m, or even more than that, it’s probably worth it to take a dump in Sam Altman’s morning coffee.

The worst thing they’ve ever done is remove functionality from the desktop app and have it exclusively in their mobile app.

I love the idea of Sonos. Being able to have whole house audio without having to run a shit load of cabling would be a dream come true, except they do it so badly it is often a nightmare.

On the bright side, if there’s a boomer who only posts bad memes about how much he hates his wife, you can say he has a mental illness.

You could before, because it’s true, but you still can too.

AT-ST! AT-ST!

There are so many online companies that do this, like Glassdoor. They are willing to share any information they have about a place until they’re paid to remove it. Goes for bad reviews and salary info as much as it does for coupon codes.

Same! Without smart watch support, it’s a great game. With it, it will be incredible.

So true. A couple years ago, I upgraded from an RX 480 to an RTX 3070. I was excited for ray tracing and so much more. It was very underwhelming.

Still better than the new EA ones which aren’t finished and aren’t playable.

Well, the Jewish Jews are the LORD’s chosen, underdogs who are bravely soldiering the storm, but the American Jews are communist Satan worshippers who’ve sold their souls for control of the world. They’ve been battling for millenia to control the space lasers.

Also, now that I’ve imagined it, there’s both porn and a Manga of it.

But the venn diagram of the group of people who take voluntary surveys and the group you want to advertise to have no overlap.

The problem with ads is that we’re barely removed from the era of all ads being malicious trojans if you clicked one. All ads are still malicious, just less insidious. They’ll silo you off into an echo chamber rather than brick your computer. Some will still brick your computer though.

I block ads because I don’t want to see ads, but I don’t want to see ads because I don’t trust any of them. Until they fix that, they’ll stay blocked. I don’t care if you’re Google or some boutique website, I’ll block them all.

It’s hard to grow up with no dad.

It’s also hard to grow up with a dad who’s a bottom feeding scumbag.

Brian Thompson was a scumbag. We can’t say whether it will be better or worse growing up without him. We can only say that if he wasn’t a scumbag, he’d probably still be here.

It’s a really good game. As a mobile game, it’s honestly up there with Stardew Valley. They are the only two mobile games I know of that check all the boxes. They are actually good games, there are no ads or micro transactions, and they’re infinitely playable.

Ah, but there are also tarot cards, which is spooky Occult voodoo magic. Balatro backwards might spell “Satan is Lord” in some ancient druidic script.

I am so confused by all this. It makes me feel old.

Funko is essentialy just plastic, shitty Beanie Babies, right? They do nothing original, from what I can tell.

Friendly reminder that killing CEOs isn’t the only answer. Sometimes it’s throwing tea in a harbor. Or tarring and feathering a tax collector.

Just do your part.
