God, I can hear this gif so well. One of my favorite songs/music videos.

That’s a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.

I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

Or it serves as a way to dissipate the smoke smell when breathing out. In my college days, we called it a “sploof.”

Need…more…JPEG…

I hate that I think you’re right.

Well yeah, how else are you supposed to start a race war?

Your son has ice in his veins. I’m very impressed.

Yeah, I don’t get it either. I made a store for my website a couple of years ago, and jQuery was crucial for me to handle all the events and triggers. Trying to do it in pure JavaScript looked like a complete nightmare.

I like Nextcloud on my TrueNAS scale setup, but for photos I’ve started using Immich. It works extremely well, and does automatic backups of specific folders from your phone. The interface looks nice too.

I’m pretty sure they’re talking about something you can do in a New Game+. If you take the right teleporter at the start of a New Game+, you go straight to the final boss. I’ve done it before, because there’s a special ending!

I remember the first time I soloed Lavos with Chrono. Helluva great feeling.

I had a much better experience with Manjaro over EndeavourOS because it supported more of my hardware, but to be fair I’m using an Asus gaming laptop. When I build my next desktop, I’m gonna try a straight Arch install.

You’re making me want to reread all of the books. GNU, Terry Pratchett.

Just want to clarify, as an Jewish American clergyman, the Israeli government is not our government. To say otherwise is to play into the Israeli propaganda which states "To be Jewish is to be Israeli, and to be Israeli is to be Jewish." The fact that the Israeli government has twisted religion to serve its fascist goals is nauseating.

I can hear both of these quotes so clearly. I'm sad about what Blizzard has become.

To be fair, the plague in Hebrew (Egyptian?) is צפרדע /tz’fardei’ah, which looks like a singular and not a plural. I totally see where he’s coming from. But also, I thought it was in Midrash Tanchuma.

חג פסח שמח!

What the hell, calculators with color screens? Back in my day our graphing calculators were black and gray and we were told to be happy, damn it.

My wife is finishing up a global health pediatric fellowship. She arrived in 2021, and I came out about a year later because I was finishing up chaplaincy training and I had a contract to finish out for a synagogue I was working for.

I see your point. I know that there are folks unhappy with the current government, but to be fair, who isn't? The San have also been pretty fucked over by the government.
