My digestive tract also undergoes a "full blown movement" not long after eating too much Taco Bell

I also love that Walmart's desperate rush to catch up in e-commerce has resulted in their website becoming just as much of a slop farm as Amazon. My friend who works there said this just piles even more on an already overstressed staff, as people come into the store not understanding that the website lists a whole lot of stuff that isn't and never will be sold in the store. I doubt many people will come in asking for this piece of junk, tho.

Scal-Palin Skywalker, was that the guy 100 years in the future who kept smoking death sticks so Luke's Force ghost would stop bothering him?

I figured it might be particularly irksome to fascists who have bought far enough into the aesthetic to fetishize black Mercedes

I'll have to give the T-shirt cannon a deep-clean, it tends to start jamming up when we fire off too many of the XXLs covered in Dorito dust

Isn't that how the Zizians got going? Or was that uni-hemispheric partial sleep or some such thing

(or, more realistically in both cases, simply escalating quantities of amphetamines)

Dissatisfyingly decontented, similar to the other Model Ys he's selling

The underlying anxiety on exhibit here compels me to think that the rumors about the botched, ahem, enhancement surgery are substantially true

I've always said that he looks like a horse who, upon foaling, was promptly kicked in the face by another horse

Wayland protocols are an almost ideal way to create intentional incompatibilities and network effects. see also xlibre, which is building a weird fucked up ecosystem around itself even though it’s broken and pointless.

So in other words, they're just cargo-culting "network effects" that they heard about in second-hand YCombinator propaganda and Zuckerberg biographies, and assuming that's both a road to riches and a necessary part of a technical culture

Damn, when you get kicked off the Thiel grifter pipeline, you get straight punted. Not even the callous disregard and abandonment practiced by a certain outer-borough real estate hustler, instead it's reverse apotheosis
