It's at least reassuring to know that the DoJ values the privacy of these horrible criminals enough to warrant blurring their faces. Hard to believe those assholes were spending the money on beautiful rainbows. A rainbow isn't a tangible possession someone can just keep to themselves! The idea that some guy can just own this abstract thing is deeply offensive to me and I will not be giving any more of my hard-earned money to library genesis.

It shouldn't be too many, my hardware wouldn't have been considered high-end ten years ago but transmission is handling thousands just fine for me. It takes a lot longer to start up with this many, probably 20-30 seconds, but runs without issue after that.

Separating arbiters from brutalizing and brutalizers from arbitration makes the flagrant injustice much more palatable to both parties.

Fantastic one-line explanation, I don't think I've thought about this before but now that you've said it it feels like something obvious that I really should have understood already.

This kind of thing makes me go into denial. I hate my country, but this absolutely cannot be real. It's horrible clickbait, or propaganda supporting my existing beliefs about how inhumane it is here.

I struggle to imagine someone administering a needle for an innocent man to die, rather than quitting on the spot. I struggle to imagine someone certifying paperwork to appove this to happen. But I am entirely incapable of imagining the number of human cogs that would need to be similarly compliant for this to be followed through to completion. I am not interested in trying to imagine. This story is fiction because admitting otherwise will break what's left of my sanity.

You can show me horrors and get me to admit and speak of them as reality, but you can't get me to believe them.

The scene where he read the poem was really memorable for me. I found out afterwards it's a well-known poem irl, but I'll probably always associate it with that movie. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

It's still Office Space.

After a month of deliberation, I have settled on a beanbag chair. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, they were quite inspiring.

I have tracked down the missing word and returned it to its rightful place. Better late than never.

Man I've never really thought about how much having the wrong successor could fuck up the whole ecosystem.

It makes no sense to pronounce "jpeg" as "jay-peg" because the 'P' in Joint Photographic Experts Group clearly makes a sound like the 'F' does in 'fell'. Saying it like "j-feg" is more correct.
