Would people be into me making posts about obscure dinosaurs? I'll keep it to the science com so it doesn't clog up the site, promise.

I mean, education is a of form of praxis, right?

It's not that I want to just share my dinosaur hyperfixation with people, nope, honest

Not sure what to do with myself, I just got fired from my job and have been rotting for the last couple of weeks. Don't worry about me, I had some money saved so it's not like I'm broke. If it wasn't for my dog I don't know what I would do. He's the only reason I leave the house now.

How Tesla got into electricity:

“In the dusk of the evening, as I stroked Macak’s back, I saw a miracle which made me speechless with amazement. Macak’s back was a sheet of light, and my hand produced a shower of crackling sparks loud enough to be heard all over the house … My mother seemed charmed — ‘Stop playing with the cat,’ she said. ‘He might start a fire.’ But I was thinking abstractly. Is Nature a gigantic cat? If so, who strokes its back? I cannot exaggerate the effect of this marvelous night on my childish imagination. Day after day I have asked myself, what is electricity?”

stroking Macak lol

Inside the mind of amerikkkan politician:

Don't do a Nazi salute, whatever you do, don't do a Nazi salute

Does Nazi salute

Oh shit oh fuck

Just filed an OSHA complaint for the bird infestation in the warehouse I work at. Having a bird shit directly on the paperwork I was completing and management telling me to use a different portion of my desk to avoid direct hits was the last goddamn straw. Don’t really expect it to go anywhere but I gotta feel like I’m doing something.

only the coolest legal systems have unrepresented 4 year olds in court having a "judge" explain to them what deportation is

Absolutely horrific

At a punk show Saturday which I rarely go to anymore I was catching up with a pal and he was going to school for cyber security whatever and was talking about his teacher having been in both the cia and nsa and I replied 'oh, so he's like...pure evil.' And the dude was taken aback. He had been sorta talking about the guy's big personality before bit there wasn't much indication whether this was cause he liked the guy or cause he's a character. But I guess he likes his cia/nsa computer prof and asked ehat I meant and I said 'acab applies to intelligence agencies and if anything they're worse.' And he kinda made an excuse to leave. He's never been particularly political but yknow, has been around diy punk and general leftist for a while and usually has a good head on his shoulders. I don't expect him to drop.the class and never suggested anything like that, I just kinda assumed my saying his prof was evil would be agreed with. Back in my day crust punks didn't trust the cia and nsa employees

Sister was telling me she first started drinking coffee because of her first job out of college where she had to wake up super early. She didn't drink it in the morning to wake up for work, she drank it once she got off work so she could be alert for her free time.

Lately in the programmer community, it really feels like a gigantic schism is forming between anti-ai and pro-ai people. Like each side is rapidly getting more and more extreme. Pretty cool!

It's my first time existing during pride as slightly more than just an ally!

Mario Kart world apparently started development on the switch 1, which means at some point the developers made the switch to switch 2 switch.

I love playing Warframe during Pride Month, chucklefucks show up out of nowhere to complain about gay people like a gay couple isn't central to the last 3 content drops and a trans character hasn't been important to a faction that's been in the game since 2018.

anyway,

WE LOVE OUR BIG GAY NUCLEAR REACTOR!

Im missing our lemmy.ml comrades, they are testing a new beta version so their comments and posts arent federating

The Andor novel is terrible, nothing about space revolutions just endless paragraphs about boolean logic

Im lowkey misandrist

this month is actually sloth month for me guys. I'm gonna be lazing about

i went into a dive on the crash bandicoot wiki to up my bandicoot knowledge and I read about how Crash had a waifu in the first game, Tawna Bandicoot, who was a sexed up Jessica Rabbit looking character, and I read that she was removed from future games because of Sony having issues with her appearance and characterization

so I was like oh huh okay cool I guess Sony took issue with her being a vapid big booba prop for Crash and-

NOPE the problem was that she "looked too old" for Japanese playtesters with one quoted as saying "who's this middle aged woman"

I have to figure out how worry about money less. It's weird because I was much less worried when I was significantly poorer than I am now.

I guess it's because I have some measure of financial stability so I worry about losing that. When I was broke I felt screwed no matter what happened.

Interviewing fucking sucks ass and recruiters should go to the gulag. Last week I was told I have a take home project to do on Wednesday. Now they’re saying there’s a live coding session - possibly a replacement for or a supplement to the take home, but it’s unclear and they’re not sure on that. I gave my availability and they fucking responded with times outside of that. I have 20 years of experience.

Very very tempted just to tell them to fuck off

Left some beans in the slow cooker all night. Turns out they're great!

Fuck a good bean is so good

If you're gay, that's okay. If you're queer, do not fear. If you're ace, you're still the race. If you're trans, we're your fans. If you're bi, don't be shy. If you're intersex, that's a flex. If you're lesbian, that's muy bien.

CAAAARM DON'T INVEST IN REITs AS AN ATTEMPT AT DIVERSIFICATION

CAAAAAAARM

Watched a pirated version of Lilo and Stich live action and immediately want that hour and a half back. That it and the Minecraft movie are two of the highest grossing non-Chinese films this year is depressing.

People think I love my dog but really he has just coincidentally photobombed every picture I’ve taken.

perhaps this was a joke @[email protected] - if so, it was poorly timed and in poor taste.

and if not, please shove it up your ass

Checking out the wider internet, finding a lot of evidence for my theory of "Anyone who talks seriously about honor in war or geopolitics is a fucking moron or thinks you are."

it is june 1 and stalin saved the world from fascism

Once again wishing that everyone who smokes at a bus stop gets struck by lightning.

listening to a streamer who makes 200k a month argue very angrily against his subscribers that there's actually more land than water on earth because all of that land under the ocean is still land

defining land as being part of the earth exposed to the air he was all "definitions don't win arguments" lolllllllllllllllllll my guy

You know how sometimes in fantasy there'll be a city or a country protected by a constant storm of some kind? I've found that in real life. A gas station in the desert near Palm Springs, which has a never-ending sand cyclone whipping around it. When you park your car here you can feel the gusts trying to pick it up and throw it, when you drive through the wall of sand your view goes completely white like you're driving through a snowstorm.

And the gas is ten cents cheaper than across the street, so of course you're going to put up with it.

About two years ago I was working a bar server shift and one of the women who worked there called me ‘dollface’ as she was ordering for her break meal.

Still riding that high

Happy homo gay transgender month.

Comrades my dogs are too cute like how am I supposed to get anything done how do you stop petting such good creatures

HAHAHA, YES. I CAN BE GAY THIS MONTH

Sorry to all the snails who's eye stalks I touched as a child
