FYI: Lady Gaga’s song was in English.

Gen-X here. Don’t fucking talk shit about our kids. Are they dumber or did they score lower on tests that no longer reflect the ways we interact with modern life?

T60, my dearest, oldest friend.

Interface. Mint if you are coming from Windows. Pop!_OS if you are coming from MacOS. Neither is identical to the inspiration, but they each offer a smoother pathway from their respective inspirations.

You can’t pay me to use that shit. Always confidently incorrect.

COPY/PASTA

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.

Owning a gun isn’t enough. Driving to Cabela’s and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.

I am not advocating for violence…far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.

PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn’t about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active and passive hearing protection is not.

I’d like to start with people from Guam getting citizenship.

The list if powerful pedophiles is long.

…punk songs about Bahamian cuisine.

You’ve piqued my interest.

Good news everyone, I have a surefire way to relieve both!

This looks very dry. I guess you could wash it down with a few mojitos palitos.

“Palito” is slang for an alcoholic beverage, normally a shot of liquor but not exclusively. The key being that it be strong enough to feel like you got hit with a stick (palo/palito).

My pilates instructor argued with me for a good ten minutes. She was convinced PR was a different country.

Me: It’s just like the US Virgin Islands

Her: Well that makes sense, they are the US Virgin Islands

Me: So if Puerto Rico renamed to “US Puerto Rico”, only then would they be part of the US?!?

Wow. Just…wow.

EDIT: I was wrong. USVI residents are US citizens but USVI Nationals (whatever that means). Puerto Ricans are US citizens AND US Nationals.

As someone who grew up hopping about in the carribean, then Louisiana and Texas, can I intetest you in the “Jomiran is a jerk” vegan street taco?

• Corn tortilla
• Maduros
• Cuban black beans
• Sriracha
• Onion, Cilantro and a lime squeeze to taste

EDIT: Return of the Glassholes

I would be interested in watching the crash reel though. Creeps.

I use to be what’s called a social liberal / fiscal conservative. In the early twenty teens my company was invited to work with what was then an unknown “chat bot” technology. It was plain to see where things were headed. Overnight I was a proponent of UBI. This is before Trump’s 2016 win. My friends and colleagues looked to me like I was crazy when I told them that within 10 years they’d be out of a job. I missed the mark there since majy of them turned into AI Bros, but I was close enough.

If we do not implement a safety net, REAL SOON, this entire society is going to collapse. There just won’t be enough means for people to survive. That’s not hyperbole.

For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:

High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.

Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.

Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .

Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.
