The rich figured out that letting the plebes access the Internet was a mistake, and they are trying to take it back every way they possibly can.

Ahh yes, taking on Ifrit in FF8 with a full stack of Demi, and Frost magic already drawn for Quistis and Squall

Many Baha’is believed the US Dollar was the antichrist for the US, because their definition of antichrist was anything that gets in the way of the masses finding their own spirituality. Then Trump got elected in 2016…

So what I’m hearing is that one should break in with a balaclava and paint to blackout the cameras. Sell the pizza once, and choose a different pizza shop next time.

BRAD!

Epstein cancelled Firefly

Derail Valley Simulator and Vintage Story have gotten me through the last year or so.

Well damn, I need to update the pic I guess. I didn’t make it, just saved it some months ago

It’s dragon sickness. Seriously. In all of high fantasy, there is exactly one dragon that has more than $1,000,000,000, when the story or setting was created. His name is Smaug. That gigantic pile of good and treasure amounts to somewhere between $10,000,000,000 - $15,000,000,000. In every other story or game, all the dragons (except of maybe one single Red dragon) have less than $1,000,000,000 in gold. (Admittedly the price of gold isn’t helping here)

RAW: all other types of dragons have less wealth than Red Ancient Wyrms. A Red Ancient Wyrm will have between 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 gold pieces worth of wealth. We’ll assume they are a Philistine, and all their wealth is in gold. That means that one single Red Wyrm per world might have somewhere around 500,000 oz of gold. Currently that much gold would be worth just over 2 billion dollars, but again that is the extreme statistical outlier of the literal greediest and most evil type of dragon.

Edit: oh and the worst part? The billionaires don’t have an excuse. If the evil dragons don’t hoard and eat their wealth just before they die, Tiamat / Thakisis will kill their soul. They literally take it with them. Our billionaires have no such rules governing them, they’re just mentally ill.

Edit 2: I’m aware that shadowrun exists. That’s not high fantasy.

Unless you have smaller hands than Trump, your fingers are too big for that violin.

Garfield Phones as well, IIRC?

That’s basically what Pizza Hut uses rather than the wheel blades. Just a massive rocker knife.

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

I was wondering if it was a misspelling of Streamer…

Let them work in food services, lol.

Fuck that. We do actual work. They’ll just slow us down.

Look for “commercial display panels.” They’re 3-4 times the price of a smart TV, but they are just basic TVs. If you find a bank, hospital, clinic, or any other privacy focused business that’s going out of business you can generally pick those used displays up pretty cheap.

They do, they just call them display panels.

Get commercial hardware. It’s more expensive new, but dirt cheap used, and they don’t include any of the spy equipment.
