That's... That's an answer to a job interview question. Not an interview question about predators on your software.

"This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil..."
- Ursula K LeGuin

That's a true blessing. I'm glad you have the opportunity and that you're getting the hell out of Texas.

Miss talking to ya, friend. I hope life's treating you well.

I think a good argument could go either way, but I stand by what I said. She made no conscious pact and instead used learning of symbol and language to figure out how to cast magic the way that others can naturally.

Luz is a wizard in a world full of sorcerers.

The NES was my first console and while I played it to death, it's one of my least favorite eras to go back and to revisit.

I was desperate for a SNES but my parents wouldn't buy me one until the n64 came out but they offered to trade it for that.

PS1/PS2 probably had the biggest effects on me.

Not the kind of water sports I was expecting this to be about.

1) *doubt*
2) I'm very tired of people acting like the founding fathers were some kind of inerrant source of wisdom and scripture to be cited forever and ever Amen.
They were rich politicians, not holy men.

"live action!"

There's way too much soulless technology that we interact with in our day-to-day now. I think that artistry could be worked into these things if people cared enough. But companies simply don't. Beauty is devalued in favor of the Almighty dollar. Cutting corners and creating a worst user experience.

I think there's something inherently more beautiful and artistic about the technologies that haven't yet achieved their perfect form. Some of it is the artistic effort that goes into it, some of it is also simply the pursuit. The final form hasn't been realized, so everyone strives to find it.

But in both cases aren't the older technologies more interesting? Like I said, there was invention there was beauty. You could see the craftsmanship that went into each one. It wasn't just another soulless rectangle. There was art.

You guys remember The matrix phone? How wild was that. A movie tie in cell phone designed completely from the ground up.

What we have in both cases are instances of technologies that were eventually perfected. It's hard to do better than what each respective technology has become. So there's not much in the way of innovation anymore.

Now look at these old cell phones from the age before iPhones standardized the way that we interact with our phones.

Look at these old lighters. These all predate the modern Bic and Zippo lighters that we're used to. Each shows an individual engineers creativity, they're unique way of looking at the world.

Tried reading The Sword of Shannara because I've been itching for classic fantasy. It made me just want to read Wheel of Time again.

Anyway...

I had the Ultraman but my parents never bought the Kaiju for me. So he was usually fighting the guy from superhuman samurai cyber squad or Krang from TMNT haha

Timelapse!

I don't know why the fact that the cream in this oatmeal cream pie is orange is so distressing me. it's supposed to be pumpkin spice flavor.

"just RGB mod your consoles"
Getting confused and adding rainbow LEDs to my snes.

For the most part my discover feed is people I already follow, so I'm not sure I see the point in having it.

I've been sorting through my old game systems and games and one thought occurred to me. I wish I could delete the achievements of any particular game so I could go back and experience trying to earn them again.

If my own rights can be stripped with the passing of a federal budget, then your own rights are neither god-given nor inalienable.

Once a week, every week, I watch TV with a friend. We slowly worj our way through different shows. First was Babylon 5. Then Arcane. Now Faracape.

We really had a golden age of space opera in the 90s and we had no idea.

Stories like this are generally why I'm uncomfortable with the name and shame thing. Seems like all too often the wrong person gets pegged and harassed.

Everything I have ever learned about John Cena has been against my will and every bit of it makes me like him more and more.
Yesterday I learned he's a coffee snob. Today I learned that on the set of peacemaker he had to be coached on how people do drugs. Because he didn't know how.
