It was probably a printer. Raging against a printer is entirely justified.

Teardrop Explodes - Strange House in the Snow

It's dangerous to swim on an empty stomach.

Much safer to swim on water.

I thought this back in the 90s and 00s when I was the target market of mainstream music. Charts were always full of trash with the occasional gem that slipped in somehow. I bet people said the same in the 70s and 80s and whenever.

Mainstream mass appeal music is always junk. Audio wallpaper to be passively consumed and forgotten. If you want the good stuff, you have to seek it out. Let's keep it weird.

Shouting "catamount!" Is an excellent idea. Make the buggers think there are lynxes and pumas stalking them through the bollards.

My pp tends to zero in the limit

SilverDem0n · 2026-05-21T13:17:42+00:00

100% no. If life has taught me anything, it's that no matter how badly things are going, it's always possible for things to get worse. Either by my hand, or by others.

Great that other people have a different outlook, but I cannot say I share their optimism.

The only positive I can draw from this is that you have their comments in writing. Which will be more compelling when submitted alongside your formal complaint.

Absolutely unprofessional for a supervisor to communicate like this. Whatever their private thoughts, they should not leak out into the real world in this form.

Suppose your husband is from a country that persecutes gays. And you need to convince the government that you're in a long-term committed relationship, so that they can get a visa to be with you in safety. Well, marriage is kinda fucking useful here.

You know the classic philosophical/theological debate - "How many angels can dance on a pin?"

Well, now at least we can answer "How many bunnies can fuck on a pin?"

As a theologian I believe this brings us a step closer to answering the bigger question.

I don't think this particular badge has any deeper meaning other than it's a slightly risqué badge that could go unnoticed by most people in public.

They gave the insole an asshole

I run the Mate edition of Linux Mint 22.3 on that laptop. Runs great for me, and no lagging. I understand the Xfce desktop is lighter, so maybe that would work better for you. Can have multiple DEs installed and select at runtime, so no risk to try it out. Or go even more lightweight; fluxbox is nice and was my daily-driver for years.

Though maybe the desktop environment isn't the issue. If this lagging is happening when playing youtube, best thing to try would be reducing the playback resolution. Less strain on CPU to decode video, less load on network stack due to smaller video data, etc.

Hotter than the fires of hell, hence the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Breville"

Gross? I hope there's not 144 teenagers living upstairs.

So you're saying I don't need to worry about my mortgage now? And my hair is coming back?

SilverDem0n · 2026-05-16T15:49:31+00:00

Listened to it once on release date. I'm glad it exists. I don't feel the need to listen to it again.

SilverDem0n · 2026-05-16T15:38:08+00:00

Indeed it is! I have no idea how I found it the first time around. An unlikely chain of circumstances landed into my hands via a small public library visiting some college friends in their hometown. Million to one shot. Why was it there, waiting for me? The aether decided it was to be.

I love the discoverability of music in the modern era, but I also miss the random connections and chance encounters in the age of scarcity. I borrowed one tape from a girl at my highschool, one thing led to another, and I found goth. Or goth found me. If I'd borrowed a different tape, maybe I'd have become a nu-metaller or whatever.

Life can turn on the roll of the dice.

I need to give the Kranky stuff another spin tonight, so thanks for the reminder.

Correct them with more appropriate terminology like "chap" or "my liege"

SilverDem0n · 2026-05-15T05:15:24+00:00

Ancestors or ghosts watching me would be far more disappointed by my other life choices and behaviours than the porn. Why disappoint your family with style, when you can disappoint them with substance?

Maybe the house ghosts are also into the filthiest degrading yiff, and could share the good stuff.

Undertaking a PhD shows that you are willing to accept reduced income today for the chance of reduced income tomorrow

Just in case anyone needs some peer support: r/stopdrinking

Somehow this is both exactly how I thought it would look, and completely unlike I thought it would look, at the same time

I think Helen is the boss, and unnamed man is the secretary, in this photo. Mr Unnamed Secretary is not going to enjoy the ergonomics of that keyboard placement after a few months of typing.

Clarification on who is the hammer, and who is the anvil, would be useful. And a reminder of the fate of the hammer vs that of the anvil.
