I didn’t realize PBF was posting again. I remember it from an older age of the internet where catching the newest xkcd, SMBC, or PBF was something I looked forward to. Now I suppose going to individual sites for content has been supplanted

Stealing from a self checkout is a cheap and easy thrill if you’re rich enough to pay for legal representation. For a poor person it represents a much larger threat and most lower paying jobs are much less tolerant of needing to take time o

Rule 113 has some interest implications. The Fernegi are a true patriarchy, women aren’t allowed to wear clothes, let alone own businesses. So, in Ferengi society the boss is always a man. That would mean 113 is tacit implication that homos

Other than vote, what can the average person do to push back against what seems like a perpetual erosion of personal privacy. I know “literally 1984” is a meme, but it does feel like there are people in positions of power who would be ok w

Yeah, my gut feeling is the rich see the writing on the wall. If they can keep a grip on things for a couple more decades then they can just replace all the poors with robots and either stick us all in UBI slums or find a more final solutio
