@wittgenfine I'd respect it if they were wilding, Uncle Ted K style, on A.I. people & infrastructure. But they're not, indeed from a distance they appear to be chilling in the same milieu, which makes it more sinister.

@AgainBertold Carmina laudantur, sed munera magna petuntur;
Dummodo sit dives, barbarus ipse placet.

"Poems are praised, but great gifts are sought;
So long as he's rich, even a barbarian pleases her."

August vacation, 1961. Tired of the beach and sunburnt, you sweat indoors, which smells of your uncle's Gauloises. He and dad argue politics. Mom and your aunt won't let you and your cousin go to the cinema because of Brigitte Bardot. You play Mille Bornes instead.

@TheAutumnalFire For my fellow dunces:

Ovid, Tristia, 1. 7. 31-32.

For 'fastidius' read 'fastiditus'.

"Indulgence, then, instead of praise I ask; I shall have abundance of praise if you do not disdain me, reader."

Most people rejected his message. They hated him because he told them the truth.

Many good posts have I shown you from my Father.

For which of these good posts do you intend to stone me?

@IncelKulak @ClickingSeason I recall that no one at the time could agree on the meaning of "hipster", and this fact was itself part of the memeplex: arguing about what it meant was the most hipster thing you could do.
