Minnesotan thinking: Mrs. Good was murdered so the other people must be bad. The-rest-of-the-world-thinking: This bitch tried to drive her car over a federal officer. She probably has thought for years that if her last name is “Good” she can do no wrong. ∴ MNans are stupid.

Like, if Greenland is on the table, then also Minnesota is on the table as no-longer-a-state. You people are on the brink. Seriously, think & reflect. How do you think the world sees your behavior? You people are just…

TL;DR— Fuck you mentally ill people; I moved away. You people are sick, from top to bottom. I hope you all ouroboros yourselves, and then the federal gov swoops in to claim your as federal lands once all your damage is done (e.g. your gov is going to prison).

Minnesotan woman with convienr lat name “Good” tries to commit vehicular murder of a federal agent, and gets blasted instead, in order to stop her murderous rampage. Why is it alway Minnesota that's always so up their own asses to trigger murder? WTF

Non-interactive example: It's amazing how much of the further seasons arr foreshadowed by random scenes in season 1 of The Expanse. Random throwaway scene about Avasarala worried about rocks hitting Earth? No… no, not at all.

Pro Tip: If your game has hidden mechanics/techniques, throw them all into the first level. Blaise tutorials with nothing more are dumb. Make it a jumping point that grows only more satisfying on each replay.

Game design wisdom: Mario 3 level 1-1 throws you in the deep end. It doesn't require you to know what the raccoon tail, or flying, or the behind-scenery white blocks, or hidden way up-in-the-sky warp pipes are for, but it gives you all the tools and hints at every possibility.

A lot of the world seems to not understand the USA military budget. Like, we could just take over the world if we wanted. There's sort of no match. It wouldn't be WWIII, it would be a sweep. So… like don't F with the US, K? We're pretty tolerant, just don't F with us.

Side-note: Sorry for few updates throughout December, all my apparent followers. I likely caught a 2025 variant of Covid (symptoms almost perfectly match up), and then in the recovery phase all the holiday stuff took priority.

I imagine a scenario where Putin gets invited to DC (like Zelenskyy) and shows up and then gets immediately arrested. That won't happen, for so many reasons, but also would be hilarious.

The show of force is apparent. Trump loves going after easy targets. It's an ego thing, but also a reminder that that the US can kind of do what it wants (as long as it can pass muster in the long term). The message is; Don't count on toleranve— we spend a lot of $ on this.

On one hand, I have so many questions about Maduro, on the other wouldn't it be fun if stealth fighters just swooped into Moscow and captured Putin for warcrimes, and held him in US court under US law? Just like “naw, WWIII averted, fuck you people and your weird Euro beliefs”.

Some days the faults of Wikipedia are subtle and systemic. Some days, they're mind-blowingly egregious.

Are you okay, @Wikipedia? If someone were reaching for a reason *not* to donate and support you, this would be it.

What people intend to do with hand control is personal, and tied to the eyes as well. Whether they're intending to just point at something or manipulate it is individual and subtle, and the machine needs to adapt to the user.

Rewatching The Expanse for the umpteenth time and I think I figured out how VR/AR/XR hand controls are supposed to work— what @Apple Vision Pro and others have gotten wrong.

.@Wikipedia wants me to donate, but also won't let me log in or recover my password because I guess my IP address is blocked? (currently staying at a hotel over the holidays). Figure your shit out, @Wikipedia. #WTFUX

I never thought I'd encounter one of these in the US. #British #telephonebooth

Never underestimate James Cameron's attention to detail, even cultural:
