It’s called SudoGetLinux’s law

most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they’re painting or drawing blood.

If internet companies want to make an argument like that, then internet should be treated as a utility.

You may have an insulin issue. Or a gluten issue.

I also can’t eat that many carbs in a day.

HI JUST JOSHIN I’M WOGI

I have occasionally found the Google search AI handy in pointing me in the right direction, like when I can’t remember or don’t know a particular term for something, it’s decent at giving me the term I’m actually searching for. Can’t trust it for shit as it’s intended to be used though.

You think it might be??

Bro say that shit with some confidence.

Venture capital does not contribute beneficially to society.

That’s just it, they’re an easy target, and communications infrastructure is one of the first things you want to control or eliminate if you’re taking hostile territory.

Many years ago my grandfather was involved in an air force test of aerial defense platforms that used balloons.

The idea was you could station these things all around the country and at the first sign of an attack you could have missiles launched from 10k feet to anywhere from anywhere.

The test encountered two problems that caused them to abandon the idea.

These balloons were incredibly easy to shoot down. Which would, presumably, rain volatile rocket fuel and munitions down on whatever was beneath them.

And if a missile launched, but failed to separate completely from it’s housing, it would carry that balloon on a wild, unpredictable trajectory, until it collided with something or it decided it had reached it’s detonation time.

They already charge a ridiculous monthly fee just to use the bike.

And sure, it’s a nicer exercise bike, but you can get a similar experience with a much cheaper bike and a tablet.

Few natural born enemies exist, fewer still as deep and natural as the animosity between machinery and maintenance.

sad machinist noises

Hosers.

I mean yeah he’s totally a carny but don’t hate on carnies, they’re all carnies.

Actually come to think of it, I think most politicians are pretty much carnies at this point.

In our space time frame of reference, we never change direction, we travel in a straight line. It’s a straight line.

Be the radical leftist they’re afraid you are

Dank jenk bank memes bro.

He knows he’s a hypocrite, he doesn’t care. Whatever it takes to advance. That’s how he went from law school flunkie to VP candidate.

He’s also a dog chasing cars, he only knows how to suck ass, he doesn’t actually know what to do when he gets what he wants

So the city I live in has a few of these and they’re some of the best burgers in town, for fairly reasonable prices.

There’s a fucking war on here for the best burger and I’m so happy for it. We don’t fuck around with burgers.

They’re so good and reasonably priced that the first time I saw this meme I was a little confused. Like yeah the aesthetic is kinda lame but that doesn’t change the food. Maybe the stools aren’t comfortable but like, there are regular tables. Like what’s the problem??

Then I went to another city.

My friends, I am so, so, sorry. You don’t deserve this. Good burgers aren’t hard, they’re really not. Just stay home, invest in a griddle. Even if it’s just a small one for your stove top, you can make better burgers at home. Make friends with a local butcher, he won’t steer you wrong. I don’t know what caused that trend but I know the only way to stop it is to stop going.
