Project for the weekend: a tutorial on how to identify websites making false scientific claims (in this case, presenting themselves as a company vaguely seeking investors). There’s so much stuff wrong with this one site that whittling the analysis down to something people will read and share will be tough. It’s a chance to play with some kind of “online presentation” platform though, I’ve wanted an excuse. (Picking a platform is one step in this process. Maybe it will just be a website.)

I want to read a very specific kind of book that I am not sure exists. Anyone have any good recommendations for something that is all of:

* http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FairPlayWhodunnit
* Urban fantasy
* Available on Amazon Kindle (USA); non-DRMed ebook stores other than Amazon are included in this

yes, autocorrect, thank you so much for the help - I almost forgot the “S” in front of the phrase “shaving sex”. That is totally what I meant

SAID NO ONE EVER

I am slowly building the habit of "if I can identify that doing a thing is not any sort of transgression, do not apologize for the thing". It takes practice but it's progress

Out of practice at SNES Tetris Attack but not out of practice enough to actually lose any games in Vs. Hard Mode. Super Hard will likely pose much more of a barrier.

Someday, and hopefully someday soon, bioprinting of skin will become so cheap the the shitty $45 HP version of a skin printer (with $80 skin cartridges) will enter the budget of amateur direct-to-YouTube horror movie makers operating on a college student beer run budget, and the cultural output of our society will get that much more beautifully grotesque

That point in an adorably normal, inexperienced furry artist's gallery where there's one thumbnail labeled "sorry for the weird content" and then suddenly it's nothing but beautifully niche fetish stuff for years thereafter, rapidly improving in skill

I just want to be a tentacle-y latex dragon hugging friends and/or making them into tentacle-y latex versions of themselves

Nope, water heater won't light. As far as I can tell, the igniter won't spark. I guess I have to call repair companies in the morning and find out what the ransom is for water heater repair on a 3-day weekend.

woo, water heater shut itself off. Now to try to figure out how to light it; couldn't do it last time it went out about two years ago and needed a friend's help but maybe I'll have better luck this time.

Idea: an online console-only poker game where your character makes wildly exaggerated motions in response to the gyroscope, so your involuntary muscle twitching becomes a nontrivial, real-world tell to other players

The meta would become "obfuscating flailing"

Playing for a Domination Victory in Civ is so weird, since I'm used to just building forever and then getting a cultural victory by accident. It feels like military conquest forever is what the game was built for, though, because the game pace works better and has more interesting decisions to make in ongoing military campaigns.

How to fail at marketing:

"Better than cream cheese? NO."

We're all just superintelligent fractals of probability blasting exponentially through each other for all of existence

Aaagh why are my fetishes so fundamentally weird and arbitrary @..@

I mean, my interest in dragons feels totally normal to me, but the latex, plastic, inflation, size-queen-to-the-point-of-flagrant-impossibility, goo, balloons, etc. still seem arbitrary and undignified. The submissive streak and slight masochism makes a little more sense at least.

Most l of my interests are tactile or imagined-tactile. I'm very touch-centric. It still seems weird that I'm fixated on these things

This is my first game of Civ 6 where I'm playing as a violent maniac. It's like being back in elementary school again.
