ね (ne).

Because it's a cool way to end a sentence in Japanese.

そのいえは大きいですね。
so-no-i-e-wa-oo-ki-i-de-su-ne.
That house is big ね。
That house is big isn't it.

I hate these bars, I have no idea how anyone tolerates eating it anywhere indoors.

Doing
I'm watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from leg day at the gym. About to eat some pressure cooked chicken (tikki masala and tapatío as simmer sauce).

Rather
I suppose I'd rather be watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from the gym.. earlier, while stoned and hanging out with someone I was dating, but dating apps are the poo.

Haha, 11p for me, not much variation available this time of night.

Good show so far for SciFi lovers. Reminds me a bit of Fringe for some reason tho the storylines are nothing alike.

Oh I know, I just wanted a copy too.

Deleting posts from the user PoV was the only way I could come up with to force the API to show them to me.

This is similar to when I heard reddit was doing the API lockdown, I wrote an automation bot over the weekend that self-destructed my subreddit and the entire post history. The bot also automatically downloaded and archived all of the content on my local machine.

It was annoying because at first I couldn't get access to older posts since at the time reddit had changed their API to only show the first X posts (100 or 1,000 or whatever). So I told my bot to delete the posts as it archived them so as I deleted content, reddit had no choice but to populate the page with the older posts.

And that's how I archived my subreddit. Reddit banned me two days later for automation, lol. I did not break any of the reddit or reddit api ToS during this process but I guess I upset someone.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean that to come off as an accusation.

Heck no, but conflating two arguments at the same time makes them both unsolvable. I just approach one topic at a time. I'm very much anti-gov-spying. It's fourth amendment stuff.

But I think the constitution is more of a talking point than something American politicians care about these days. They like to use it to say, "Do the thing I like! But wait, stop using it to stop me from stopping the things I don't like!"

It's corruption all the way down.

I'm 100% not an expert on this, I'm actually stupid, so know that before you read what I write.

As much as I get what you are saying, the United States has continually expanded the rights of corporations to essentially be.. people. So on that they seem to have some legal standing? But then we factor in national security interests, and those override everything.

Without the national security interests I'd be curious which way this would go, but I don't expect, "I deserve to spy on your citizens because I have free speech," to fly..

So in a way I agree with you and in other ways I disagree with you, in the end.. I said nothing, but I did say I am stupid at the top, so really it's your fault for continuing to read this far.

At the very least it's gonna be interesting. I doubt it will spark any introspection for politicians to think, "Hm, maybe we shouldn't have given corporations more rights than people.." Nope. Poison the waters. Contaminate the soil. Torture the animals. Burn the sky. Cook all of humanity.

But hey, line go up.

Scan the room left to right. Quickly. Do it 3-10x. Survey the people.

Now. Go to the far left person, look at their head. Maintain eye to head contact for 3 seconds. Now with your mouth make a (bzzzrrr) noise and turn your head slowly to the next person. When you stop turning your head make a (kerthnk, zzp) noise. Do this for every person in the restaurant. You now have data on everyone.

Next step, scan for exits, reposition yourself at the table so that your back faces the nearest structural wall, this will be useful if there is a fire fight. Turn your seat backwards and plant your feet far apart for maximum stability, also granting you the mobility to leap to your feet and dive through a window if necessary.

I assume you are wearing leather gloves and a bandana, nod to yourself and squeeze your hands a few times to get the blood flowing.

The server is here, order nuggies and a water. You'll need your protein, but you are prepared.

Go forth and conquer the world my child.

Yea, I didn't realize it myself, someone pointed it out to me. That doesn't mean anything is wrong with dark humor, I also like it, it's just trickier than I realized. That's what friends are for, we share perspectives.

Thinking back on it, the first time someone shared this to me I was pretty dismissive of the idea. It took me a while to process it and come around. Unfortunately I never got to tell the person they changed my perspective because they were gone before I had the realization.
