I saw a post once where someone was complaining they needed to charge their book but couldn't because their friend was charging their cigarette and honestly I think about it a lot

"Don't say a word."
*pause*
"Fergulous."
"I said-"

<< (shout-out to the infosec community, a tiny band of nerds trying to make software culture grok prevention. let us cry into our whiskey together)

This naïveté is already damaging when it's in the software industry, where it has already led to the compromising of democracy worldwide. It will absolutely catastrophic if it manages to fully penetrate agriculture and food. Mark my fucking words.

This sign is a perfect example of a primary source exercise. What does the source say? But more importantly, why does the source exist in the first place?

The sign doesn’t state what kind of behavior made its existence necessary, but we all know exactly what kind of behavior made its existence necessary

More people appeared as he spoke.

"This bit is hilarious!"

uspol, ask for help. 

Repeating a toot from earlier:

I want to run for government. If anyone has any resources to help me get my foot in the door that would be incredible.

I don't *want* to be in charge, I just know that I have the spoons to actually deal with the bullshit and want to fight for our rights and someone has to do it. And I know that goal is enough reason to do it for me.

Please feel free to share and send ideas. Help me figure shit out.

I lose the train of thought, and sit blinking for a moment. Then I read my notes, smile, and record another succesful experiment. It is perfectly reproducible - think about mind control, and...
What was I thinking about?
