The government is like water
Too little and civilization withers and dies
Too much and it drowns

From the let’s be real files:

I read your damn FAQ.

No one ever asked you those questions.

I just burned a Rwanda-unit of electricity asking ChatGPT for synonyms when a thesaurus would’ve sufficed. But ain’t nobody got no thesaurus.

FWIW if you look up thesaurus in the thesaurus there is a non-trivial chance you manifest a wormhole or make them reboot the simulation.

@Noahpinion I’ll opine that if universally true this is an L for the terminally online but a big W for humanity.

Well, there it is. Suddenly I get motivated to compose middling tweets on a Monday.

Nothing at all to do with work. Nope.

I don’t really get Costco but I shop there all the time. I mean, have you really lived if you haven’t had a massive bag of arugula go bad?

What is this, high middlebrow on a budget?

[Diogenes of Syncope @DiogenesSyncope]

I mean if you haven’t written a manifesto have you really lived

The left seems to believe: we haven’t been nice enough to the people who want to destroy our civilization!

The right seems to believe: we need a good dictator now and again to save that civilization!

I seem believe we don’t realize how good we’ve got it, but we’re gonna FAFO.

Faux-erudite words such as “utilize” are often invented by minor bureaucrats trying to justify their petty pet projects or desperately procrastinatory college students trying to fluff up that end-of-term paper.

I’d eat a lot more oranges if they’d just peel their damn selves.

When you take a meat lovers pizza out of the oven and don’t immediately grab a super hot piece of pepperoni off the top are you even a man.

Dependency breeds obedience.

Free yourself so you can be free.

Your occasional reminder that anything the government spends a lot of money on seems to get more expensive.

Middlemen gotta muddle.

Healthcare, higher education, I’m looking at you.

Thank god they aren’t subsidizing TVs.

Today, I’m thinking about co-opting one of the world’s great religious holidays to foist my religiosity on others.

To all who celebrate for thee, but not for me.

That ratio tho

Tales from the simulation…

Eureka! Either I’m in alpha reality, or I have proof that code can be conscious.

Either is pretty neat.

Oh, sorry bro, you could still be a p-zombie.

Guilt by association

Won’t put you in real jail
But alas, twitter

Perhaps this tweet would be truer if geofenceable

Conundrum

You’re never more alive
Then when almost dead

This is not an argument to take up skydiving

The olden days were so great

Can you imagine all your potential competition stuck in subsistence farming whilst you composed bangers for the nobility?

[Diogenes of Syncope @DiogenesSyncope]

@dissproportion I gave up being outraged by twitter for lent. Very calm.

If operating your product resembles in any way inputting a cheat code from a video game in the 90’s ain’t nobody happy
