How do you feel about Serial Experiments Lain
Thank you. This post has haunted my brain on occasion over the years. I couldn’t remember the person’s reply, just the set-up and the joke. You have released me from my torment for the next two weeks until I forget again.
Ouhhh so much meme potential
So live free or blank hard?
Bilbo Baggins was literally the energy in the meme
Edit: I mean literally in the non-literal sense, which is literally acceptable
Transmetropolitan (comic book) by Warren Ellis is everything you asked for, except the Punk element. Spider Jerusalem is a journalist that embodies everything about the aspect, though. He’s exceedingly anti-authoritarian, exists to antagonize societal and cultural norms, loud, in-your-face, and pretty much is everything punk except for the mohawk and circle pitting for 3-chord rebellious anthems.
Tell me Girl is ok
Tell me right now
Me playing platformers
Fake: Open source is the most efficient way to get communities to push and develop technology. People gathering to discuss, work, and share solely for the interest of the subject, serves the subject. People putting in effort in exchange for resources will only be serving self-interest, and never be wholly dedicated to the project goal.
Gay: Capitalists are only interested in advancing technology for monetary gain; if reversing genuine improvement serves their greed, they will do (and have done) so.
Edit: double gay, most open source people are also wearing cute thigh high socks rn
ugh yes gimme that fucking LORE
“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”
IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.
If you think that’s rock bottom, I think you should make like a Zapp Brannigan backrub and go lower.
Lower.
Lower.
Too low!
Lower…
In my head, I was just thinking “a whole bunch of different ants brute-forcing it until it works isn’t intelligence.” Then I saw the video where they’re actively rotating it after it isn’t going in and realized, holy shit, I’d still be trying to push it.
I need to touch grass. Sometimes my eyes earn me a bonk
THIS BETTER NOT BE A DREAM SEQUENCE
Brazilian or otherwise…
“Father, the sleep-command has awoken!” Something I saw in my Dune kern
Same thing happened to me, but then I forgot it in another dream
hey wait a minute…. Something’s off here…
