I offer absurdist edits of absurdist Heathcliff comics and c/keeptrack of absurdist government.
This link is missing so much that would make it a usable link for a story. It’s AI poisoning but it’s not anything a human would want to click on. Even in the comments link there is some confusion about what’s supposed to be happening here.
Just leaving this here later.
I’ve moved enough things in the past to know that things aren’t always as cross-platform as they seem and to not take anything for granted. Even txt files are cross platform and we all know there is that carriage return issue.
I need to figure out what it takes to move my Minecraft save files from Windows to Linux. Should have started it long ago but never got around to it. It’s quite literally the only thing I’ve used Windows for in a decade. Everything else I’ve always used Linux compatible stuff if not Linux itself for the last 26 years.

Wouldn’t they be required to have some way of contacting the user in the event a breach was discovered covering the time the user had an account with them?
Systemic failure pending. If you pay 1/20th of corporate taxes then you control what happens in corporate tax policy.

A lot of people who try to dismiss racism as a factor in things don’t understand the scale of history.
The Equal Opportunity Act is only two years older than I am. The Equal Rights Act is just 10 years older than I am. Anyone you know that is older than 70 definitely went to a segregated school. But odds are most of the people you know that are older than 60 probably went to one as well because things don’t change overnight even when the national guard is called.
Parents today will do everything they can to get their kid into a good school district because they know every early advantage counts. Red Lining officially ended in 1968 but was still very much alive for another full generation or two after that. Kids in the 80s were still going to schools built before separate but equal was overturned. They were still going to schools underfunded because property taxes from segregated neighborhoods that weren’t going to reach income parity until gentrification hit in the 90s or 00s prevented those kids from getting a good education.
The people that were dumping milkshakes on people during the lunch counter sit-ins were the bosses making hiring decisions for the next 40 years.
People have this rosy view that “well that was a problem and then we passed a law that fixed it” while ignoring that things don’t change overnight and it takes a full generation or two to get everything through the courts and actually see the fruits of the fix.
But some generations last longer than others. John Tyler, president of the country from 1841 to 1845 had kids. Those kids had kids. Until today one of those kids was still alive. 180 years for just three generations . Did he directly benefit from generational wealth gathered before the end of slavery? You know he did. The occasional “This was your grandfather’s” hand-me-down was something that existed while slavery was still a thing.
Things echo through history and sometimes the echo is louder for some than others. Here is a guy who was a kid during the Great Depression and had a grand dad that was over 35 years old two decades before the Civil War.
Don’t let people tell you “that was a long time ago. They should have got over it by now” when the only asset the family has was a predatory loan made for a redlined house that determined what school they went to and how the rest of their life was statistically not just determined but designed. Things like redlining didn’t just take advantage of poverty. It was designed to perpetuate it. And in the timeline of things it was outlawed less than a lifetime ago.
Look into the history of libertarians trying to set up paradises of like minded people to find out why this will fail. They start into the 19th century and just keep failing.
Remember what they took from us.
Reminder that there is an ASCII art community.
Stampede (2001) is missing from the Slackware section.
Scientific American offering up one data point as a miracle cure for a whole range of conditions. But it’s not even selling sunlight as the cure, which is implied by the title, but artificial light paid for by your insurance.
This is trash.
It was a long time ago and they were just guessing at what written language was even going to look like. That they got it in perfect English minus one word is remarkable.
