American prisons are straight up slavery, no extra steps. It’s deliberate.

He’s reaching LLM levels of sentience in this pic

I am simmering with fatigue after dicing eight onions, two bags of carrots, and two heads of garlic for a big batch of curry

Custard’s last stand

Makes perfect sense to tbfh honest

The idea of cyber/hybrid warfare against Russia is pretty interesting. Would be interesting at any rate to see how they like having a troll brigade stirring up their populace.

Ready to fight to the last

Just fuck a dude already, stop making it our problem!

A million puns instantly spring to mind, but I won’t use a single one. They’re all low hanging fruit anyway.

The medium of books are qualitatively different from movies. With movies it’s all about the context, the action, the dynamism, the mood. With books, it’s more of a mind meld with the author, and you get richer subtext, connotations, shadings of meaning, and inner monologue.

If you’ve ever seen a movie that tries to hew exactly to a novelistic source (e.g. he Discworld movies), it’s an extremely plodding thing. If you’ve ever read a book that tries to carry a story onwards from a cinematic source (e.g. Star Wars EU), the pacing and treatment feels very different. It’s unavoidable.

That’s when I really felt like family

They are morons for following illegal orders. Modern GPS can practically tell when you leaned over to fart, we cannot assume this was accidental.

It’s like Smeagol/Gollum. You might need them for certain shit, but you know it’s going to end in tears.

Fundamentally unserious “just admit defeat” type of offering. The real signal is that the US is still a painfully unreliable ally.

A depreciating asset, for some. At least you got them for free.

The word is regulatory capture, and the game is upwards wealth transfer.
