It’s OK, I have all my backups on floppy disks. I keep them on the fridge with a magnet so I’ll always know where it is.

That’s just a spear with extra heft.

I always assume someone is as smart or smarter than me. I’m not that smart, so it works out most of the time. But it’s kind of like being tall. I’m taller than average, but I have a hard time judging if someone is taller or shorter than me. I really only notice height in the extremes, and sometimes I’ll think “That person is really tall” but then we’re in a picture together and I am much taller.

If I talk to someone who is very smart, it’s immediately obvious. If I meet someone who is very stupid, it is immediately obvious. In between the extremes, it isn’t particularly memorable.

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed anyone pretending to be stupid to blend in.

Don’t forget “Astroturf third party candidates”

I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve never gotten the hang of Twitter. But reading between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:

Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.

Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.

Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets and trampling on their freedoms.

Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.

Good point.

What a bunch of bastards.

The game mechanic is incredibly simple, and has been cloned a million times. The graphics weren’t anything special, so really the only thing special about Flappy Bird is the name Flappy Bird.

Yeah I don’t understand that. I would guess it’s either 1) I mentioned android (although I think apple watch can work with android) or 2) it’s such an obvious suggestion that people felt like “of course he considered the apple watch,” or 3) people just hating on apple.

But that’s just a guess. My pet peeve is people downvoting without replying when it isn’t obvious why they’re downvoting.

I appreciate the recommendation.

Every time I get close to buying a smartwatch, I discover some reason why it isn’t going to do exactly what I want it to do.

If it’s too short to twirl, how is that more convenient?

I recently saw some packaged chicken sausages that said “all white meat” and I was confused.

Have people been killed?

I didn’t even think it was that bad. It wasn’t great, but it shouldn’t be so high on this list.

Me, a Daoist alchemist providing the emperor with an elixer I made that contains known poisons like arsenic and mercury.

More than 16% of America is not part of the contiguous land mass. It doesn’t make it any less part of america.

He’s probably pinin’ for the fjords

I see what’s happening here.

You’re face to face with greatness, and it’s strange.

New York is not part of America? The fuck?
