I need a big hammer with a little button on the end that triggers a macro to ban/suspend dickheads

@mplouffe that's a possibility

although I'd expect the independents will be even less happy with the refund shenanigans that MCH are pulling

@mplouffe yeah, after Rolex and Patek pulling out of all people the writing was pretty much on the wall

still tickled by what some german way back when decided to call gloves

"fuck are those?"
"they go on your hands, bit like shoes go on your feet"
"I shall call them... fuck it, handshoes"

they're not very good at this social distancing thing

Ooh, neat

New version of the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere in blue

One of the very few world time watches that acknowledges the southern hemisphere exists

Seriously, that's one of my pet peeves, on like 95% of world time watches they don't bother displaying the southern hemisphere and it annoys the crap out of me

let they who have no bad takes toot the first meta

It's well known that Proudhon would only drink herbal tisanes

Because proper tea is theft

@mavica treat yo' self

@noelle don't do it

printer ink is expensive, spray paint it on an old sheet or something

@InspectorCaracal I see it as a case of "Evil will always triumph because Good is dumb" - Dark Helmet

The Jedi are in a really good place, the Sith are thought to be destroyed, and then this kid comes along who is prophesied to "bring balance to the force"

hey jedi council, maybe DON'T TRAIN THE KID IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THE DARK SIDE SHOW UP AGAIN

@sydneyfalk to the renaissance faire!
