  • So long as the house wasn’t built on an ancient aboriginal burial site, I might be able to look the other way.

  • I finished 1Q84 Book 3 yesterday. The journey is finally over and I’m glad to have had some closure to the story. I found some aspects of the storytelling were a bit repetitive at times, but I’m still a fan of Murakami’s dreamlike storytelling nonetheless.

    I found a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl’s Doomsday Scenario at the library, so that’s next on the reading list this week.

  • *Cue They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard* 😎🥳🤘

  • iirc the writers found out that this would be the last season with Ncuti so the ending had to be changed at the last minute.

  • While Aomame is a main character she isn’t the main character, if that makes a difference.

  • Don’t forget about that environmental fee

  • Pretty sure at least someone lost the commission on their $28.9 million sale.

  • Imagine having to navigate an Imperialist senile narcissist lunatic threatening invasion at your doorstep and simultaneously holding the global economy hostage, and then having Poilievre gnawing at your ankles.

  • We all knew it was coming, but what a time to pass the baton. Good luck, John.

  • Andor and Battlestar Galactica (2004) are both great shows.

  • Valid criticisms

  • Have you watched House?

  • I originally interpreted the lyrics as a view of commodified education where the prerequisite for a lot of jobs nowadays require a degree or two just to get past the AI review process.

    I didn’t mean to come off as knocking the pursuit of higher education. I mean I probably deserve it quoting a Kanye song! My wife has applied for her Masters next year, and I’m looking into the process of upgrading my advanced diploma into a degree myself. It just makes me laugh with frustration at how the ladder for success keeps adding rungs the higher you climb it.

  • This sort of reminds me of that Kanye West School Spirit Skit about learning:

    You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling You pick up those books you're going to read And not remember, and you roll man You get that associate's degree, okay Then you get your bachelor's, then you get your master's Then you get your master's masters Then you get your doctorateYou go man, and then when everybody says quit You show them those degrees man When everybody says, "hey, you're not working "You're not making any money" You say, "look at my degrees and you look at my life Yeah, I'm 52, so what?"Hate all you want But I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school These guys are out here, huh Making money all these ways, and I'm spending mine to be smart You know why? Because when I die, buddy You know what's gonna keep me warm? That's right, those degrees

  • There’s actually a term for this kind of behaviour. It’s called a desire path.

  • And sell it at a loss, I presume?

  • So it’s ok to charge more if you look rich? Why eat the rich when you can fleece ‘em?

  • 25 years to build a basketball court, 250 to build a 1,000km high-speed rail network.

  • Imagine taking a deuce then getting into a rollover accident immediately afterwards!
