I adore how artichokes are this froo-froo food you eat like a caveman

@ziphi see I always assumed The Beastie Boys' "She's Crafty" was about a fox or possibly coyote

the description of man as a featherless biped is specifically intended to exclude Utahraptor and other dromaeosaurs, clearly a big concern in classical Greek philosophical arguments

Depersonalizing feeling lousy about the job hunt has been incredibly emotionally useful. It took me this long to realize that if you’re getting hit in the head with a hammer, your only possible fault here is having your head vaguely nearby.

All religions are created by and for people, so a mix of hippie peaceniks, angry folks who feel threatened, rich folks trying to get richer, folks who wish their parents loved 'em, sometimes a combination of these

thus all religions are beautiful visions which speak straight to our hearts, and simultaneously the most vicious scam.

dude, Zulu is free on YouTube

the movie that teaches 10 year old boys in rural Georgia how to use both an ilkwa and isiHlangu together *and* how to bayonet an opponent, clearly vital skills at that age

SHAFTU TAI ZATOICHI (Shaft Meets Zatoichi, 1976)

oh my gaah this trilogy of jidaigeki is uh...

... special. In ways only hinted at by the unusually funky 70s soundtrack. Whoever Murai Kunihiko was, Isaac Hayes has nothing on 'em.

Now I'm presuming that what YT thinks I might want to hear is right wing punditry about how say, pedestrian crosswalks where you can push for the light is morally weakening the USA, but maybe it's left wing punditry, which I want to hear only slightly more.

@frost the purpose is the same as it always is, it's a fucking grift and if it doesn't work/wastes money/works great for nothing actually useful, who's gonna question it?

@frost I didn't know, I was guessing (anything facial recognition traditionally has issues with Black people, and drones etc have been used to harsh protesters)

so I was completely surprised that they were using this resource-intensive bullshit to fuck with dudes who own what, a sleeping bag, a spare parka, a vape with extra cartridges if you're lucky?

@frost actually I was wrong, it's not protesters or necessarily Black people

I'm sure that with any new technology AI isn't JUST bullshit to put living humans out of work, but has amazing potential for landlords to make money, and for police to deduce that they should hurt Black people and protesters more, because that's what technology exists to do in this society, right?

"how can AI and 3d printing address housing problems" oh yeah, just what would save humanity, using enough water for a year's crop of corn to plan then print several tiny houses which feature a toilet connected directly to the hot water heater in the middle of the living room, and which can then be part of a lottery for homeless people or rented out at exorbitant costs.

I WAS going to post Shonen Knife covers of different songs

but honestly I'm tired and the joke was going to be about Shonen Knife making every song about eating deserts

@frost I almost forgot how those things sounded.
