Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again.

The only way I recognize Shakespeare as Shakespeare is the giant collars he wears that seem to be in every picture of him.

Forsooth I bite my thumb at thee.

I mean we say that, but look how happy people are to just go with the status quo just because ‘it could be worse’ or some variation.

That’s why its one wannabe oligarch per bunker.

They than get to (try) to play god with everyone they so generously allowed into their ‘fiefdom’ without any known opposition.

Could always set up a refinery of sorts.

And while gas absorbs water from the air, I’m sure there is an expensive way to if not outright prevent it, than slow it down way more than current mass adopted storage.

Off the top of my head i imagine some sort of giant glass tank involving vaccums and check valves would at least extend the usable life by a fair amount.

And while there are a lot of popular motorcycles whose gas mileage is little better than a car there are also a good amount with amazing gas mileage.

There’s also the possibility of converting the motorcycles to alternate fuel sources like propane or natural gas.

Or as these people are just rich assholes indulging in their fantasies they may really take their cue from movies.

All part of their “game”. In order to maintain/grow power they need to put up token resistance.

If they fall into complete lock-step with trump/project 2025 their potential power in the future is limited more than risking “standing up” for themselves over relatively minor things.

GNU Terry Pretchett

It’s still hard for me to watch movies he’s in. Just reminds me he’s no longer around.

I think it was maybe last week or the week before there was a thread about plex enshitification and I recall a lot of downvotes to folks praising/recommending jellyfin over plex.

And charge them fees. Just like they’d do to any individual. The city could make some real bank.

Hey it’s not our fault their countries are so small.

I’m sure there’s probably one horse somewhere who would actually enjoy skydiving, but I don’t see an ethical way to find said horse.

Well there was the whole “frog” incident.

Maybe they mean with the taste of weed but not the pschoactiveness.

There would still be a lot of hate in my heart if I had to walk through crowds everyday.

While less dangerous (honestly with how people responded to covid maybe not that much less dangerous) you still have to put up with entitled idiots that arent fit to be out in public.

That’s a weird snail.

The bottom of a shoe is called the sole. Pronouced soul.

Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was “stolen” from Myth-adventures as much as it was “stolen” from Discworld.

Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of ‘norms’.

Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it’s just background pretty much.

Too greedy. They want all the money so bad they will believe any conman.
