There's a parable about this Taoist Master who's seen standing by a mountain view.
They ask the Master: are you meditating? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you contemplating nature? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you waiting for something? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.
Sometimes it's okay to just stand there.
That's not amusing, interesting, outrageous, or profound. That's just a banal fact. For many people, the end of childhood is when a parent makes sure they know that.
glad to hear he's putting his "enshittification" fame to good use
slangin that cluck-rock...
Fuck them. If they’re such children that they’re willing to watch the world burn because the side that is looking to help them is smug, they can gargle these nuts and go fuck themselves. I’m done coddling these idiots.
A comic about THAT would be a lot better!
Nah, I get it. Imagine some big clumsy creature who spoke like a screaming baby forced you to keep only one meal's worth of food in your fridge.
Oh yeah thx I forgot we had 2 communities like that.
I usually post this announcement on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world but this week's Monsterdon is ~~so clearly a superior A-list movie that...~~ well OK I wouldn't go that far, but it's not as bad as most B-movies.
See what happened is: every week people on mastodon (the fediverse twitter replacement) get together for a B-movie watch party usually focused on monsters. But for the last two weeks, the movies have not just campy but a little more bad than expected. So this week they played it safe and picked a slightly better movie than usual.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun, it's got nostalgia value, it's meme-worthy, it's got Dolph "Rocky IV / Creed II" Lundgren, Courtney "Friends" Cox, and Oscar-nominee Frank Lagella, and here's your chance to watch it along with a bunch of wits and miscreants from across the fediverse. So only one question remains: Do you have the power?

I don't remember a single thing that happened in this book, but I do remember this cover art.
