Ah the famous boat police. Judge, jury, and executioners.
I agree with your point about OS X style menus, they’ve been steadily going downhill since “macOS” though. Granted, they’re still uphill of whatever the fuck Microsoft seems to think of.
This just kept getting sadder and sadder, RIP
It’s important to know the demographic of the poll sample in order to properly understand the poll data. For instance, 65 percent of the poll participants are currently on shift at Abu Ghraib.
I like where your heads at
I’ve seen truly a marvelous amount of human beings who would vote against A just because they were fortunate to buy their first house without assistance, “so why should anyone else get help?” It’s a chronic pain how often “fuck you, I got mine” is tossed around in so many flavours.
I would kill myself. Unfathomable.
Apple doesn’t fall far.
Or the crime
Ctrl to wake the screen, system set to never sleep. Stupid Plex running on Windows addiction.
Leave it to Maggie Shugerman to give you something sweet to read about in the news, what a badass.

Fuck the IDF
Thanks for the info
From someone who willingly goes into the office almost every day, it’s still quite obvious that for the good of the world, the less people going in overall, the better. Better for the environment, disabled people, mental health, and I imagine better for housing markets (though I’m no economist).
The poll seems to define the American dream as “the idea that anyone can get ahead through hard work and determination,” which is one of the vaguer things I’ve read today.
Trying not to take it literally (there’s no way “anyone” can get ahead…) and responding to the general spirit of the idea:
Anecdotally speaking, I’m very fortunate to have a well-paid, air-conditioned job and own my own house not in the middle of nowhere. Even though I like to imagine much of that was due to hard work in school and not bombing interviews, I reckon it must be at least 90% due to what skin color I am, where I was born, how my family dynamic was growing up, how much money my parents made, and if I had an “in” at a potential job (i.e. a connection or friend there). And that 90% out-of-my-ass statistic is probably conservative. It’s an ugly truth that I think not many people want to admit to themselves, especially those in my demographic. I know whatever options I have will be more easily attained by someone in my situation, versus others out there. It’s a no-brainer.
That said, everything that makes up my relatively fortunate individual life still does not feel like it adds up to any sort of dream, simply because I live in the context of those around me, those in my community, and those who could not possibly get close to “the American dream” no matter how much they try. I cannot isolate my life from others in some sort of bubble. It feels to me as if the American dream should act as a kind of AND logic gate; until everyone can realize the American dream, no one can.
So, with the way things work here, I’d say it’s impossible and never was possible at any point in time. The American dream is not based in any kind of reality and is just a tool used by the ruling class to keep our heads down.
This slaps
That calzone looks amazing. Is that a spot in Concord? Although a few hints in the pic towards Europe.
