lol my dad is coming over tonight to try and fix all the problems his girlfriend caused. Drama indeed
My favorite part of Moby Dick is the chapter titled The Prairie.
In it, Melville basically attributes the size/wrinkles in a forehead to the wisdom/greatness of that being. He goes on to describe the foreheads of various lesser species, and then lists influential men with big, wrinkled foreheads (Shakespeare, as an example), comparing the undulations in these splendid wise men’s foreheads to the undulations of a prairie and their splendor. Then, he asks the reader to consider the gravitas of a Sperm Whale’s forehead.
It’s literally the best fucking thing I’ve ever read and it’s crazy that nobody else lauds this passage as I do.

It is the book that completely changed the way I view literature. My favorite book of all time. It is beautiful, funny, bizarre, and tragic.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Valve's new Steam Machine and Steam Frame and implications for Linux
3·23 days agoThey released a swath of “Steam Machine” devices about a decade ago through partnerships with companies like Alienware. I think the software implementation was poor, and I think the prices were exorbitant.

I can’t speak for the original commenter, but many here on Lemmy will type in unconventional ways so that if the instance gets scooped up by bots and used to train AI the data is harmful instead of beneficial.
I don’t know if it actually has an impact, but it can be fun to participate in data poisoning as an act of subtle resistance.
I believe the OC might have typed sez not because he is a bot, but rather to sabotage bots down the line. Maybe he just did it to save a letter.

I didn’t learn to drive in a vehicle with a clutch, but I did learn to drive vehicles with clutches! I love manual transmission cars. Been fighting the urge to make a poor financial decision and scoop one up before they’re gone.

2·2 months agoThat’s not true. YouTube is a goldmine of knowledge and entertainment and humanity. You just can’t trust the algorithm to get you there.



Yeah, ours mops the floor every other day too. It’s really a game changer, having shining floors all the time has benefited me in myriad ways!
I also enjoy using the remote control feature to troll our cats while I’m at work.
There are privacy concerns, (mine is a Dreame), but we are already so far from an ironclad privacy operation that I feel keeping my wife from the purchase would be needlessly cruel.
