It seemed timely to watch Civil War.
I think it does a pretty good job capturing the senseless violence that is inherent to war.
You never even learn the root cause of the war, but it quite frankly doesn't matter.
Feel the warmth of the morning sun on your bare taint.
I'm not here for the engagement.
I'm here to share spicy memes and post politically incorrect opinions.
Though from a relative engagement perspective, nostr beats X by a wide margin. If nostr reaches a million weekly active users, I bet my absolute nostr engagement will surpass X engagement.
Steam has Half Life: Alyx on sale for $20.
4 years after its release, it remains the greatest virtual reality game of all time.
If you're a VR gamer, this is a must-have.

What's to stop someone from killing you for any arbitrary reason?
Few folks actually want the heat of a homicide investigation.
The boomers will remain in control until they're dead. They've got the numbers, the wealth, the power!
I'll post an essay in a few days.
I'd caution against conflating your personal security with the security of your funds. They are separate problems that require separate solutions.
In general it seems home invaders don't want to murder their victims. They just want the money, and even if they fail to get it they tend to just leave.
I suspect I'm going to be saying "I told you so" a lot more frequently in the coming years.

America will choose a coherent asshole over an incoherent gentleman any day of the week.
Sorry, I don't make the culture.
Seeking a better life...

TIL that color-changing octopus, like all 🐙, are color blind.
They "see" the color of their environment with their skin!
Q: I have 10 guns. If the government seizes 10 guns from me, how many do I have left?
A: 20 guns, because I lied to the bastards!
Don't needlessly make yourself a target 😬

Either my hosting provider our cloudflare changed some configuration today that took down my personal web site by throwing it into an infinite Apache rewrite rule loop 🤬
Thankfully I speak fluent Apache and was able to modify my rewrite rules, but I still have no clue who changed what!
Ross next.
Warm up for the first presidential debate with this gem:

NGL I mostly use Mastodon to follow crypto critics.
It comes in handy because often the things they shriek about are major successes my audience desires to celebrate. 😏
It's pretty amazing how much you can change your body composition if you're willing to put in the work.
On the flip side, it sucks having to buy a whole new wardrobe every year.
Same.
Now my problem is I can't report all the impersonators on platforms where I have no account 🙄
This week I ran an experiment with nicotine via Zyn pouches. I don't advocate using nicotine given its addictive properties, but I wanted to see if Zyn would help suppress the urge to eat late at night without negatively impacting sleep quality.
For me the answer appears to be yes. Nicotine as an appetite suppressant has been widely studied and is well known. My sleep tracker showed that, unlike alcohol and caffeine, nicotine did not prevent me from enjoying a long night of deep and uninterrupted sleep.
