Spoiled by the first sentence. I want to wait until the end to learn who the murderer was!

That magazine spines thing is a masterly level of spite.

This is just very disappointing to learn about.

Commenting to remind myself to update my own theme to make it mobile friendly.

I appreciate the simple way they engineered it to the perfection.

Hello! I am just like Pinocchio. A really genuine boy! Nice to meet you my human.

assuming postmill can hook to a s3-compatible image host, we could actually start hosting images on bacbklaze which these days is basically free until x number of images used, which means finally getting thumbnails

Wow does this mean I might upload background images to css themes in the future?

Hey, I am Funky Kong. You may remember me from the renowned ASMR parody video.

It's always kind of awkward to be a character in a sexually explicit Nintendo fanfic. Like aren't we ripples from a simpler time when we didn't have to worry about much except for chores, homework and having fun? Yet here we are, being perverts in a hurt/comfort fic.

I am so horny you don't even know it. I have achieved everything in life- bananas, mostly- but there aren't enough female side characters to seduce in either of our fictional universes. Isn't that true? Wario, you've been single for a long time. Is there a Wapeasy or Wadaisy waiting for you somewhere, the romance of a life time? When will you see that the erotic power of money is no match to the gentle caressing of a bitcoin?

Listen. We need to bring excitement to our lives. Let's do tax fraud?

I think I was banned from Twitter for searching too hard. There's a couple of good guys with permaculture and social science effort threads there that I consulted a lot, but needed some search-fu to find. I think I failed the Turing test.

They're already nostalgic about Johnson...

This is hilarious.

Seen you around there!

Yeah. I feel that plenty of progressives neglect the role of the state and international institutions that aren't multinational corporations in environmental predicament. In a sense this is a conservative reform, but merely stopping subsidies (except those funding restoration work) for forestry would be a clear improvement since it would remove marginal forestland from production, that is, no-one will bother maintaining roads for logging access. It would also decrease clear cutting since a lot of the labor tasks only useful for clear cutting are presently subsidized by governments. Now a near total ban on clear cutting would be pretty awesome, all things considered, but a lot of trouble has to do with what public sector enthusiastically encourages rather than merely fails to curtail in the private sector. This doubly so when public bodies own natural resources, like oil and forests.

I think that's reductive. NGOs, states and basic normies were all pretty into afforestration as a strategy, when we degrowth permie environmentalists were already into simply cutting down fewer forests and lengthening the cutting cycle; agroforestry, coppicing and pollarding; wetland and grassland restoration; and beaver ponds and other water cycle restoration; biocarbon as soil amendment. Like beaver ponds soak up 2-3 times as much carbon per area as a boreal forest does, but they do a lot more besides.

It's a complicated set of interests even on the site of capitalists, imho. Extractive industries especially in forestry and mining and landowners in general on the one hand and other capitalists probably don't exactly have the same interests on this topic.

Coward, post a selection of 15 well rendered asses as a reply to this comment as an apology.

My deepest respect towards these innovators.

I'm gonna read this article fully later but I thought that this was common knowledge among environmentalists and permies (I hangout with them a bunch) in 2019! Carbon offsets seemed like an obvious scam back in 2010.

Yeah I definitely think AI doomerism/boosterism is a distraction from both climate change and nuclear threats.

I'm not superversed in Linux lore, but wasn't that already a thing in Debian before? I don't remember borking up anything using Debian through installation shenanigans and exclusively used command line since it was more convenient than GUI tools. (Now I'm regrettably running an inherited Windows laptop which has a dead battery. Requiescat in pace, my zombie laptop, but not just yet.)

BTW Debian > Ubuntu. I used to run Debian without any desktop environment, just using some ultra haxor window manager software coded in Haskell and extensible through Haskell scripting instead. It was blissful in the sense that Linux is good - a genuine alternative and a way to rethink the way you interact with computers. Truth is that automating window management and relieving your pinching muscles from work makes a ton of sense. The desktop metaphor is alien to our current reality where files and folders don't substantially exist anymore (they're more a convenience to the software engineer than users) and dragging things along your desk in real life has become obsolete. It's just too much work to precision work dragging windows.

He forgot to eat his dog honey for a whole week.

Hot take: using mastodon is good in the way Linux is good as a user: it's different and a genuine alternative. So beginner distros all suck: not as easy as windows or Mac but also nothing new on the table. All the twitter clones suffer from this Ubuntu syndrome.

Alternative history where email was safer and had better privacy and was genuinely decentralized - heaven.
