Ughhhh.

I used to live across from an exit for a bar all these bikers would go to.

My house was made out of literal granite blocks and set at least 1000 feet back from the road.

When they would go by it was so loud inside you would have to yell over the noise to be heard.

Needless to say I hate loud motorcycles with a passion after years of that.

Yah Calvino is great

@cryptovexillologist

Invisible Cities is by far his best work. It just levitates. It is like nothing else and is almost impossible to categorize but is executed so confidently.

Many complex concepts in Invisible Cities are explained so succintly through metaphor that I dont think its possible to explain them any better than Calvino does.

@cryptovexillologist

I think italo calvino almost reaches greatness in many of his books. He recognises the artificial limits of storytelling in If On A Winters Night A Traveller but doesn't quite transcend those limitations itself. Cosmicomics is so close to genius in so many of the stories but too often his creativity is held down by reductive love plots, although the story about going to the moon is the most beautiful short story I have ever read.

Invisible Cities thooooo

@juliobiason

Are caffeine and alcohol really bad for us in moderation though? I mean how long have humans been consuming alcohol?

Just played my first non-solo game of spirit island with my brother and my friend.

We ended up loosing and it was intense and awesome. It took most of the game for my brother and my friend to find their feet but once they did I could see the cogs churning away in their head as they began to see the depth to the game.

You really have to work at a very high level with everyone at the table to be effective, I feel like this game could be used to train teams of people its so intense.

"kindergarten cum commune"

1 and 3 can go together, 2 and 3 can go together, 1 2 and 3 certainly should not be put together in the same sentence.

@boisdevache

That dinosaur is like a sassy sockpuppet I love it

I also failed to see "two zig zags".

I am an idiot.

I was with my friends at a local bar with dollars all over the walls and I saw a dollar that said "45" and was like ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So I changed it to 85 to make it nonsensical.

Then I lifted the dollar up and saw it said "Colt".

Its just a jumbo size 40 now? Or a really big hand gun?

@DashEquals

People who are advantaged in the status quo draw convenient boundaries for what is political and what isn't.

Which is kind of crazy in FOSS because it is fundamentally political. What is the point of trying to make the world better through programming if you are a dick and make everyone else feel unwelcome in the process.

Me and my friend were talking about making a club where we celebrate when terrible old white men who have lots of blood on their hands like Dick Cheney die.

I can't think of a good catchy name for the club though.

@derek

Awww I am sorry, it seems like she was well loved during her life

@ivyandgoldx

I know how that feels :( . I hope today turns out ok for you, but if not I hope tomorrow does.

All it takes is a 5 second clip to induce rage in me.

I dont think I have ever seen the show challenge a single stereotype. In fact it seems like every joke is just a lazy reference of a stereotype.

I mean I can't tolerate more then 5 seconds of it so I am probably selling it short.

I am sorry if you love this show I just dont get it.

@Romdeaux

Manjaro is great though, I use the i3 community edition and really havent changed much and it works pretty flawlessly.

I actually use linux mostly for org mode and doing more serious stuff, and windows for games and music most of the time. It helps my impulsive ADHD to have to switch to a seperate operating system to stop doing productive things lol.
