The one on the right is just SCREAMING for a photoshop

Also it was cool to see what I assume is the aftermath of something I'll read in an upcoming book

Prestigious!

(At least it would be if I didn't know how undergrad education at Ivy University worked.)

Anyway my tip for being a cool guy in meetings is if everyone ignores someone's good idea, a man should repeat it and credit the person who said it. That is the best

It has given me a reputation as "scary" but knowing these numbers has meant for me that when I am interrupted in a meeting I will often just keep talking. Not always, but if the floor is unequivocally mine I will just. keep. talking.

The greatest trick the capitalists ever pulled was convincing us that bigotry was a working-class value.

If you're a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. you are a class traitor.

- Bigotry divides the working class against each other and is routinely used as a wedge by the capitalist class

- Only the working class really experience the negative effects of being part of a marginalized/minoritized group

Sadly, today it's like ten below and mostly cloudy here

This is my favorite part of deep winter in Canada.

Sure, the wind chill is below -30, but *gestures at the sky*

You may have saved a life.

The song is best when sung by two men or two women, or with reversed genders.

The thing that makes it creepy by modern standards is the implied power dynamic, since all of the respectability stuff is neither relevant nor really understood anymore.

1. You're thinking of the wrong song. The song you're thinking of is "Baby it's Cold Outside"

2. That song was written by a married couple and specifically spoke to the need for women to maintain the illusion of propriety and cover for their sexual desire in the incredibly conservative postwar era.

You better watch out
He sees you
He knows

You better watch out

You better watch out

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

I made it better*

whoops

One of the oddest things about working in this specific building is sometimes having to say things like, "I'm having a meeting in Baldur's Gate, then I'm going to Narnia".

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW

Finish carpentry.

I like working with wood and am a measure thrice-cut-once builder.

I've done some small bits of framing, drywall, basic building with lumber, etc. but the moldings and trim are always my favorite part of the job.

“I wish there was a game development conference somewhere other than San Francisco.”

NGL if I were a head of state in Latin America right now, I'd have Xi Jinping or António Costa on speed dial.

They do realize you can't cool a data center in space, right?

The last one was so fun, can't wait for the VoD!
