just remember, at some point, two dudes had a barroom bet. one of them insisted that 'anyone can make a movie'. in the course of proving his point, he spent $19,000 and made a film that some consider to be one of the worst movies ever made.

he was right though.

at some point i hope people do start to realize that open source means they get worked on by people, when they feel like it.

that cuts both ways. for some things it's great, for some things it's not. the end result can be great, but sometimes it takes a REALLY long time to get there.

it's pork dog, like many things it needs to be cooked properly.

if you want to risk it for undercooked meat, that's on you. but certain things need to be sanitized. cooking does that. there are many ways to have chewy, yet properly cooked bacon.

people think immortality is a gift.

but it is a curse.

immortal bacon would be no different.

the times we don't have bacon, give delicious flavor to the times when we do. if it was bacon time, all the time, then the phrase 'bacon time' would lose it's significance.

Nokia's got you covered

they also nailed the minimalist vibe better.

personally, i've got more important shit going on that what phone people are using. in the case of this phone, it looks like any other number of Android phones with a custom theme.

i'm assuming it's more than that, but it still looks a bit silly. you can be minimalist and still appreciate things like color.

i don't think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i've yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they're mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.

The cost of cigs is also artificially inflated in many places. I’m glad to see less of the younger crowd smoking, that’s a good thing. But doing it in these ways just feels plain un-American.

We let an awful lot of things that are bad for us slide, because the effects aren’t as visible.

let's be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.

Lawyers for the FTX founder say he wasn’t motivated by greed but by a desire to better the world through philanthropic giving

the lie detector determined that was a lie.

it's not like [human] Spez can think much either, so maybe that future is closer than we think.

we're already seeing the results with Twitter, reddit's just a bit behind the curve.
