Makes sense. If I were hiring for an org that funds musicians, I’d consider it a plus for a candidate to have experience in the music business. I’m sure the same applies to an org that funds scammers.

I like the spooky skull head from Spirit Halloween.

I never use the word “exclaim” on non leap day Saturdays unless I’m wearing a hat, because there’s a nonzero chance God exists and considers that specifically a sin worthy of eternal damnation.

I would kill every cat and dog in the world to make sure Tamagotchi isn’t discontinued

Tired of people misrepresenting HPMOR as a Harry Potter fanfic where Harry uses science to study magic.

Anyone who has actually read the fic knows it’s a Death Note/Waiting for Godot/Spaceballs crossover fic about aristocrat failchildren bringing glowstick swords into an airsoft match. There are zero superfluous sentences. Every sentence a painting, especially when Glup of the Most Noble and Ancient Judean People’s Front of Shitto casts Compelled Duel on Backgroundella O. C. Technicallynot of the Superlatively Posh and Antiquarian Judean Popular Front of Whatsherface.

In the words of Anton Chekhov: if you establish in the first act that you must never burn anything you have transfigured, you must have a character transform something into a rocket in the third act and then fire that rocket without any harm done. This will prove you’re a better writer than Chekhov.

Final exam question: You are facing the most reddit serial killer of all time and his dumbass henchmen. Armed with only your wits and a spell that can transform anything into anything else, devise an escape. For extra credit, invoke one or more of the following science fiction plot devices: nuclear fusion, carbon nanotubes/fullerenes, wormholes/warp drives, neutronium, wave/particle duality, brown notes, grey goo, the anthropic principle, quantum tunneling, Maxwell’s demon.

HPMOR: the only novel that has been fully read by fewer people than mistakenly believe to have fully read it.

Many are contrasting the demand for gay marriage with the demand for human-animal marriage.

I feel like the ratio of homophobes to zoophiles making this comparison is a lot more skewed than the ratio of transphobes to promptphiles making the other comparison.

You’ve done a really good job of picking your subjects. Each episode so far has managed to push the limits in some direction, whether it’s one or more of the F.A.G. scores, the fame of the main character or some other type of intrigue. I did not expect the jungian clusterfuck of bad penises and breasts episode to be overtaken in sheer WTF value so soon.

you go to Azure if you’re running Windows or you hate yourself — or both

one will quickly lead to the other

That sounds awesome and right up my alley!

…oh, it’s some financialized gambling racket bullshit thing never the fuck mind

He’s already managed to remain untouched through the tariff farce so I’m not holding my breath.

But even if something crazy does happen, a major financial crisis should not conjure images of the economy running off a cliff and hovering in the air for a few seconds making running motions with its legs before noticing its mistake and promptly falling in the canyon and making a hole shaped perfectly like its spread out silhouette. A financial crisis is a serious matter completely unlike an enormous ACME brand anvil falling down the same hole and a crude white flag of surrender feebly popping out of it.

There’s nothing funny about stock market crashes. S&P 500 falling flat on its face is not a laughing matter. Do you think it’s comical when NASDAQ steps on a banana peel and does a double backflip and there’s drums and cymbals and a horn honks as its nose hits the ground? I think it’s sick to laugh at US dollar getting a grand piano dropped on it and then having its teeth replaced by piano keys which play a little ragtime lick before falling off.

Anyway here’s a statement from the chief of US Federal Reserve considering threats made against him by the US president https://youtu.be/KckGHaBLSn4

Feel free to slap me back to my senses the next time I make the mistake of giving a tiniest bit of respect to anyone right of Rosa Luxemburg

How to neither downplay the death of Renee Good nor the uncountable number of people, mostly people of color, who were murdered by near equally fascist police forces without the public outrage her murder finally rightly elicited? I am tired and yet I feel bad to even complain about it because look at this shit.

I think it’s a spin on Y2K. A hypothetical moment when quantum computing will break cryptography much like the year 2000 would have broken the datetime handling on some systems programmed with only the 20th century in mind.

My condolences, that truly sucks :(

slaps roof of episode This bad breast can fit so many bad penises in it.

Oko’s Basilisk

Somewhat interestingly, 194 decibels is the loudest that a sound can be physically sustained in the Earth’s atmosphere. At that point the “bottom” of the pressure wave is a vacuum. Some enormous blast such as a huge meteor impact, a supervolcano eruption or a very large nuclear weapon can exceed that limit but only for the initial pulse.

pointing at the blackletter scripts Look how they massacred my boy!

Thanks for the conversion. Real scanlation enjoyers will understand.
