One consequence of this metaphor is that punishment can be good for you, since going through hardships builds moral strength. Hence, the homily "Spare the

They believe that medical science has constructed a whole order which increasingly protects people from what we do not need to be protected from; sure, maybe some fat disabled homosexual needs pasteurization because their body can't handle Natural Raw Milk-but not me, I'm Strong 174

By suffering all these individuals with weak bodies to live, we have weakened the national body as a whole. We have become fallen, soft, ripe for predation. We can only restore our strength and natural position at the top of the hierarchy by purging weakness through struggle

it would be wild if there was a famous thought experiment about a machine that could translate Chinese into English without every understanding the language, like this is such a hyperspecific torment nexus to invent

A screen cap of an article hed with a photo of a chef in a stainless steel kitchen, peaking potatoes. There are 6 additional chefs working in the background. The headline is “Diet of Worms will help us survive climate change, say top chefs”. The post is a play on the famous Edict of Worms, issued by the Diet of Worms, which condemned Martin Luther as a heretic.

Glad to see we’re addressing the root cause of all of this: Luther’s heresy

we should probably teach kids to code more just to demystify this shit. like it’s not easy, but it’s very learnable. letting people think Being Good At Computer makes you a genius polymath has been such a disaster.

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Tiny painting inside an open pendant. Portrait of a young woman, obviously very wealthy, in a fancy dress, with dark hair worn down, in ringlets. She's looking sharply off to the side, and smirking. The whole vibe is very "Mona Lisa, if Mona Lisa was the life of the party".

Same painting, but now with an overlay. You can see most of her face, but she now has a dark moustache and long beard, and is wearing a thick dark cloak with a hood.

The overlay this time is of a nun's habit

First of all, has a person ever looked more mischievous? I wish I knew her.

Secondly, this is a miniature portrait from around 1660. It comes with overlays that allow you to change her appearance for fun. Filters from 500 years ago lol!
