Sorry, I do not know the artist who made the Karlach portrait I have for a profile picture.

I am old enough to remember when I could see the difference between a goth girl and a renfair witch cosplay (not complaining, just observing respectfully).

The classic Greek Pantheon is just extra dysfunctional.

But then as Red from OSP puts it (paraphrasing): The Greek gods were representatives of what was true, not what was good; Classical Greece was absolutely horrible to women so therefore the gods were, too.

What the heck is it with spell check in Firefox?

Another one:

Provisioner is apparently not a word, but "provisioned" is. One would think the first one is much more common?

@ddlyh I admit English is a second language, but "provisioner" is common enough I would think to warrant actually having been fed into the database. I imagine they are next to each other in a list of words?

You know one reason Pete might be aggressive and assertive is that his family is the only cat family in a whole city with millions of dogs. He's making himself look big, so to speak.

You wont believe the number of stormtroopers theyre deploying against unarmed students unless you see it. This is just one side: at least 7 police departments with at least two layers at every point of egress, with several layers in back for rear control and rotation. They've got the army out against your kids for having the audacity to do whatever they can to stop a genocide

a wide (~50m?) staircase with maybe 20 rows of cops in full riot gear stare down a handful of unarmed students

Fuck it, played around with my acoustic guitar for a bit before realising it's nearly 10pm and my neighbours could probably do without me wailing The White Stripes like I'm drunk

I mean she literally just said "hello" while I was sitting on the front of my car vaping

But it seemed to be the only thing she came outside for??

The fact that Fallout 4's loading times risk becoming horrendously slow if you have a monitor that goes over 60Mhz is so... Bethesda.

Look, I am not an expert in economics, but why are so many companies choosing to fire people involved in quality control (or the equivalent, such as moderation on commercial social media etc) as soon as things go bad, and then end up exceptionally confused when things goes even worse, quickly?

Not to be that guy but people who vote for (any) Conservative party with "Christian" in the name are purposefully trying to destroy civilisation.

No, I am not exaggerating.

    I have some coworkers and was telling them about how we used to take our car stereo face plates with us when we left the car back in the days when stereos weren't integrated into the dash and you wanted a nice one.

    They were very amazed. So I made this meme.

    WhyNotZoidberg,
    @WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

    @renwillis Fun story:
    Sis "inherited" dad's baby blue Saab 99 with a POS stereo in it when she went off to Uni.

    One morning every single car had been broken into on the parking lot and their stereos taken... except in sis car there was a better one lying on the seat.

    Our guess is that the thieves had realized THAT one was worthless, broken into my sis' car, found that one even WORSE and just dumped the better one in her seat.

    Dad installed it a week later after the police didn't want it.

    @WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

    @renwillis The stereo was still a pos, but a slightly less stinky one ๐Ÿ˜œ

    Tomorrow morning I'm publishing my article on the epidemic of child marriage in the United States.

    Without googlingโ€”how many documented child marriages do you think have happened in the USA since 2000?

    WhyNotZoidberg,
    @WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

    @QasimRashid but you see they're Christian child marriages so it's okay.
