If you’re the one supporting ripping up the forest of Ents to make room for a datacenter…yes, you lose your nerd card. You are now Saruman, corrupted to the will of evil to further one’s own power.

Do they still qualify as nerds if they’re the antithesis to the morals in the story they nerdrd over?

Great name for an anti-gas pill. Fart tomorrow, not today.

Banks preparing for the catastrophe they gladly helped fund.

Yeah. Good point. They tried rewriting them to fit their narrative, though.

C-suite fucks up everything.

Chunk of a neutron star, of course.

TF is it with these tech lord trash taking LOTR names for businesses? Anduril, Palantir, etc?

Huh. Shows you how cynical I am, I already thought they were doing this.

They just had a huge ghost plate bust yesterday on one of the Long Island bridges. Must’ve been 15-20 police cars and 10 flatbed tow trucks along with one of those multi-car trailers. Tons of cars pulled over.

Looking for toll dodgers, fake plates, fake temp plates and all that.

There’s a huge number of people with covered plates of one kind or another.

“ not” is correct. Should be a way to factory reset your monitor. Usually a long press of the reset button for a certain number of seconds or a power off/on while holding the reset. A look online for the manual for your device will show you how if it’s possible.

The “now is not the time” sheep needs to be separate somehow. They’re not going the slaughter.

The cyberpunk reality will be computer users finding any way they can to keep their PCs running on an undernet disconnected from, but in parallel to, the CorpGov web. The latter is where you are tracked, monitored, monetized, ruled, caged, and where you own nothing but the CorpGov owns you. The former is an illegal hoard of history, media, software, 3d printing, and information disallowed on the main web.

No flying cars, no cyberpunk body parts, just people trying to keep from being controlled.

That same stucco sterile box style is everywhere. It’s like a generic rich people tract house that you get from a vending machine. Just add water and they pop up, all the same, brick paved driveways, generic minimalist interiors, nobody actually lives there. It’s as empty and uncreative as the people who hired someone else to design it for them.

IDK, maybe they could put games on some kind of physical media so that users could have the game and not need live service? Like some kind of optical disc? They could charge for add-on DLC, like they used to. Software could be downloaded and stored locally…once. y’know, without being streamed?

And gamers could rent servers. Like they used to. And that could be an income stream for a company.

Eh, showing my age.

Watership Down

What an awful movie for a kid to see.

ODD is not what you’re looking for. A logical resistance to being force-fed material that you know is crap and want nothing to do with isn’t the same as escalating the suggestion your room needs cleaning or you have to put the ipad down to a screaming fight.

He was wrong about voting.

It would make voting easy and accessible.

They don’t want that at all.

Feels before reals. They buy it bacase “Black Rifle”. It could taste like shit. They pour a cup and, “This stuff tastes like shit lol.” and they’d keep buying it because Black Rifle pisses off the libs, it has a gun on it, and the makers are making the brainwashed snowflakes feel manly for having Manly Gun Label Coffee.

Ugh. I get it, but I dislike poetry that avoids grammar to make something seem deeper than it is.

I walk to the corner

To the rubble

That used to be a library.

Line up

To the mind cemetary now.
