@zebratron2084 Both opinions are necessary and greatly appreciated: the first tells me I'd agree with the basic outlook, and the second tells me I couldn't enjoy watching it. *sigh*

@zebratron2084 I never could keep track: did we ever want the "IT Crowd" to take over? They had some good reaction gifs.

@noelle When he quiets down, post a "U mad?" reaction at him. Nothing else. See if you can get him going another three days.

That'll be six days they aren't harassing somebody else, after all. And who knows, they may autoignite! n.n

@rey Yipes. Directing all available luck to your location asap.

@noelle Nothing quite like feathering the 'reset' button while you try to purge the air filters, is there. >.<

@zebratron2084 To be fair, you *have* had advanced training in Number. n.n

Move Along Home. 

The buns have left. The nest is empty: the fur is scattered, the shallow is cool, the soil is bare. Another brood has joined the race.

Rabbits perfected rapid prototyping some time ago: by now this iteration is testing their adaptations in the real world, dispersing to novel environments, and passing on what they learn.

There is no 'end'. No 'goal', no 'over'. Cycles, patterns, seasons. Parts to play, roles to fulfill, learning to share.

We are all part.

@zx3 And once you've finally got it through your skull about the ocean?

Once you've really, truly, finally stopped hoping that you'll find a pool of that warm water that knows the salt in your eyes, that cares even a little?

Once you stop dreaming of the sound of surf and rainfall?


Listen.

There is something

I urgently need

to tell you

about

space.

@Mycroft Oh, the old one. Our cutting laser is controlled by ISA-based hardware running off a Pentium, real DOS based VGA software - some flavour of 5, I think.. We don't emulate the 80s, we're *stuck* there. XD

@JulieSqveakaroo Well, every day it is a /little/ different.

It's a little worse.

Being away for a few weeks put it into sharp relief. The interface is terrible. Throwing up random things friends 'liked', things you 'may have missed', adverts for concepts and people I loathe, scrambling my continuity. And then there's the polarization, stalking the comments.

And it feels so empty, except for the screaming.

It just keeps getting shriller.

If you'd told me 25 years ago that a large percentage of my day to day paid job would be dropping to DOS and editing files using edit - yes, EDIT.COM - I'd have...

... well, probably not thought much odd about it, actually. That was normal.

@001zlnv Really, as a metaphor for late-stage capitalism, it's almost a bit too on-the-nose.

@001zlnv Very nice! I like the sense of fullness here, there's a certain 'poofed up to immobility' quality.

Politics, Ontario election. 

@acetone_kitten Solidarity! I can't say I feel *better* about how horrible things are below the border, but now at least I can sink my teeth into *local* kleptocrats. Think globally, punch locally. n.n
