How is this ‘malicious compliance’? Removing a DEI-focussed teaching aid, even temporarily, seems like ‘compliant compliance’?

Dude, Where’s My Car?

My tolerance for incorrect use of your / you’re gets lower.

This is my ringtone.

Holy shit, that ISO is real. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103

STOP! Or I’ll say “stop” again!

JFC, have you been under a rock the last decade? The majority of American population? Maybe. The oligarchs and ruling class? Pft, Trump looks up to Putin as a ‘strong man’. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/trump-putin-ukraine-russia-smart/index.html

I for one would welcome the shuttering of US miltary bases in Europe and around the world. Bring it on.

Death to america

It’s not about ethics, it never was. It’s about CONTROL.

On display? I finally found them in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the leopard”.

Vagina couch is full of vaginas.

Counterpoint: faith and religion have caused more wars, misery, and death than any other single source in human history. We’ve had literally thousands of years of being led by religious leaders, maybe it’s time to try something different. The world needs LESS faith.

Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.

As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.

My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.

I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.

I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”
