He's wondering if shitting in the corner is still allowed there.

I like how they are going back to the original concept of "The Hellbound Heart", namely that the cenobites are explorers of sensation. They are literally extra-dimensional monastics in a religion called "The Order of the Gash", a term that could both mean a terrible wound or a coarse name for the vulva. These beings explore the extremes of sensation, a place where pleasure and pain are both indistinguishable and beyond comprehension. It's also a "truer" dimension, closer to reality than what we think is the real world. Victims are lead to them out of boredom, not sin. It's clearly inspired by Clive Barker's experience with the BDSM scene, seeing people in those clubs at night that were bankers and businessmen by day.

Over time the Hellraiser property completely drifted away from this concept and towards the more boring and generic notion that the cenobites are simply spooky demons from a Christian hell, torturing people for their sins. Yawn. The original story and first movie are way more interesting than that. The more recent 2022 version was a good step back to the source material as well.

Actually one of my most favorite memories because the simplicity of the solution using recursion blew my little mind. It was like discovering a magic spell.

In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

  • Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
  • Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
  • Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
  • Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
  • Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

  • Butters: Wha--- what?
  • Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

  • Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
  • Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

  • Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
  • Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

  • Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

  • Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
  • Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

A large inmate walks up and looks down.

  • It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

Then I woke up.

Back in the days where they used miniatures to do spaceships sometimes the vfx dept. would take model kits and glue the entire plastic sheet, sprues and all, to the miniature. You know, like this.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

Somebody here said something like, "Can't wait for libs to tell me I'm responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul." I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can't wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom's despicable rhetoric to melt away into "Blue no matter who" the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.

Cops can ignore. Prosecutors can decline. Judges can "sentence" to unconditional release.

The people can nullify.
