you’d end up with black shit stuck in all the crevasses.

Crevices. A crevasse is a deep fissure such as in a glacier.

Yeah, this reminds me of the time I asked a hair stylist for a mullet and she refused. Also, a good tattoo artist won’t tattoo something that offends their sensibilities.

Well, this happened to a 6-year-old. It’s rough reading:

His opisthotonus worsened, and he developed autonomic instability (hypertension, tachycardia, and body temperatures of 97.0°F–104.9°F [36.1°C–40.5°C]). He was treated with multiple continuous intravenous medication infusions to control his pain and blood pressure, and with neuromuscular blockade to manage his muscle spasms. A tracheostomy was placed on hospital day 5 for prolonged ventilator support. Starting on hospital day 35, the patient tolerated a 5-day wean from neuromuscular blockade. On day 44, his ventilator support was discontinued, and he tolerated sips of clear liquids. On day 47, he was transferred to the intermediate care unit. Three days later, he walked 20 feet with assistance. On day 54, his tracheostomy was removed, and 3 days later, he was transferred to a rehabilitation center for 17 days.

The boy required 57 days of inpatient acute care, including 47 days in the intensive care unit. The inpatient charges totaled $811,929 (excluding air transportation, inpatient rehabilitation, and ambulatory follow-up costs). One month after inpatient rehabilitation, he returned to all normal activities, including running and bicycling. Despite extensive review of the risks and benefits of tetanus vaccination by physicians, the family declined the second dose of DTaP and any other recommended immunizations.

Yeah, fuck the kids, right?

Disagree. This is still boomer.

“You don’t need to look both ways when crossing the street! I’ve never done it, and I’ve never been hit!”

Yeah, the question isn’t who Democrats will vote for. It’s who independents will vote for. And there are a lot of independents.

Relying on the “Never Trump” vote to win this election feels like a terrible risk.

I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.

Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don’t give them any money.

It’s a website where you can buy music. I prefer having music in OGG or Opus format, and most of the time you can only get MP3. Bandcamp gives you the option to download your music in several formats, and one of them is OGG.

That’s starting to change, because I can find more file-sharers who are using FLAC as storage becomes cheaper. Then I can convert FLAC to Opus. However, Bandcamp also gives you the option to stream music from their app, and it’s nice to have access to so much music on my phone.

Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.

Know Bob, know slack. No Bob, no slack.

It isn’t real unless somebody suffered.

Somebody once told me that it’s good in desserts. BIG mistake. It tasted like battery acid.

They had mushrooms.

Using the term “piracy”, instead of “filesharing”, was always pro-corporate framing. In his 2010 essay “Ending the War on Sharing”, Richard Stallman wrote:

When record companies make a fuss about the danger of “piracy”, they’re not talking about violent attacks on shipping. What they complain about is the sharing of copies of music, an activity in which millions of people participate in a spirit of cooperation. The term “piracy” is used by record companies to demonize sharing and cooperation by equating them to kidnaping, murder and theft.

I did. Isn’t the link working?

Near was a target of KiwiFarms, a messageboard focused on harassing people for fun. There’s a pretty good article about it here.
