After each ego death, the new ego that arises is less brittle, more resilient. What will destroy the latest iteration of a person, the first could not have survived merely contemplating. Eventually the capacity to let someone be wrong on the internet emerges.

Tired: World War 3
Wired: World War -1 (prequel)
Galaxy brain: World War 1 (remake)

Maybe the false flag was the friends we made along the way

You do not know which item is behind which door. Behind one door is a new car, behind another door is a goat, and behind another is the grand prize: a goat in one of those little electric power wheels cars, he loves cruising around in that thing and it is absolutely adorable

@brooke I would like agile as a rational iterative process to improve the design BUT THE DAMN PROJECT MANAGERS lock in a GOD DAMN DEADLINE right at the start BEFORE there is a known scope of work!

@Taweret @coriander @lapis I liked the trolley problem solution posted by a rail workers union: you can completely stop the trolley, it's called "slipping the switch" and will safely derail it with no loss of life, you need us because you would kill people for no reason if anyone allowed you to operate trains

@Taweret Monty Hall cheats! What about the 50% chance he set it up with 3 goats this time?!

@coriander @Taweret @tarix29 I really want to gamble with this guy, so I can take his money and say he's calculating his losses wrong when he gets mad

@coriander thats not bad, but we already had pinball tables so...

@Aleums You know those old giant stereo cabinets, the ones that are the size of side table or something with a turntable and speakers and everything inside?

Sexy.

"Thoughts and prayers!"

Y'all please pray for my friend. He crossed the street and punched a guy who he was pretty sure was gonna punch him first and he could really use your prayers

@jackdaw_ruiz yeah ... this is plain stupid.

Oh, right, there must be internal resistance they're concerned with. Gotta start a war, look how much they hate us, rally together! And shut the fuck up while you're at it!
