Hey, I am Funky Kong. You may remember me from the renowned ASMR parody video.

It's always kind of awkward to be a character in a sexually explicit Nintendo fanfic. Like aren't we ripples from a simpler time when we didn't have to worry about much except for chores, homework and having fun? Yet here we are, being perverts in a hurt/comfort fic.

I am so horny you don't even know it. I have achieved everything in life- bananas, mostly- but there aren't enough female side characters to seduce in either of our fictional universes. Isn't that true? Wario, you've been single for a long time. Is there a Wapeasy or Wadaisy waiting for you somewhere, the romance of a life time? When will you see that the erotic power of money is no match to the gentle caressing of a bitcoin?

Listen. We need to bring excitement to our lives. Let's do tax fraud?

I think I was banned from Twitter for searching too hard. There's a couple of good guys with permaculture and social science effort threads there that I consulted a lot, but needed some search-fu to find. I think I failed the Turing test.

They're already nostalgic about Johnson...

This is hilarious.

Seen you around there!

Yeah. I feel that plenty of progressives neglect the role of the state and international institutions that aren't multinational corporations in environmental predicament. In a sense this is a conservative reform, but merely stopping subsidies (except those funding restoration work) for forestry would be a clear improvement since it would remove marginal forestland from production, that is, no-one will bother maintaining roads for logging access. It would also decrease clear cutting since a lot of the labor tasks only useful for clear cutting are presently subsidized by governments. Now a near total ban on clear cutting would be pretty awesome, all things considered, but a lot of trouble has to do with what public sector enthusiastically encourages rather than merely fails to curtail in the private sector. This doubly so when public bodies own natural resources, like oil and forests.

I think that's reductive. NGOs, states and basic normies were all pretty into afforestration as a strategy, when we degrowth permie environmentalists were already into simply cutting down fewer forests and lengthening the cutting cycle; agroforestry, coppicing and pollarding; wetland and grassland restoration; and beaver ponds and other water cycle restoration; biocarbon as soil amendment. Like beaver ponds soak up 2-3 times as much carbon per area as a boreal forest does, but they do a lot more besides.

It's a complicated set of interests even on the site of capitalists, imho. Extractive industries especially in forestry and mining and landowners in general on the one hand and other capitalists probably don't exactly have the same interests on this topic.

Coward, post a selection of 15 well rendered asses as a reply to this comment as an apology.

My deepest respect towards these innovators.

I'm gonna read this article fully later but I thought that this was common knowledge among environmentalists and permies (I hangout with them a bunch) in 2019! Carbon offsets seemed like an obvious scam back in 2010.

Yeah I definitely think AI doomerism/boosterism is a distraction from both climate change and nuclear threats.

I'm not superversed in Linux lore, but wasn't that already a thing in Debian before? I don't remember borking up anything using Debian through installation shenanigans and exclusively used command line since it was more convenient than GUI tools. (Now I'm regrettably running an inherited Windows laptop which has a dead battery. Requiescat in pace, my zombie laptop, but not just yet.)

BTW Debian > Ubuntu. I used to run Debian without any desktop environment, just using some ultra haxor window manager software coded in Haskell and extensible through Haskell scripting instead. It was blissful in the sense that Linux is good - a genuine alternative and a way to rethink the way you interact with computers. Truth is that automating window management and relieving your pinching muscles from work makes a ton of sense. The desktop metaphor is alien to our current reality where files and folders don't substantially exist anymore (they're more a convenience to the software engineer than users) and dragging things along your desk in real life has become obsolete. It's just too much work to precision work dragging windows.

He forgot to eat his dog honey for a whole week.

Hot take: using mastodon is good in the way Linux is good as a user: it's different and a genuine alternative. So beginner distros all suck: not as easy as windows or Mac but also nothing new on the table. All the twitter clones suffer from this Ubuntu syndrome.

Alternative history where email was safer and had better privacy and was genuinely decentralized - heaven.

Girltwinks are just Alizée-Audrey Heckburns

I agree, I feel like there's a lot of design space that's been flattened by how tied to media consumption is to software (YouTube, Netflix, Spotify) and hardware platforms (specific brands of smart TVs etc.).

If this works out more gacha games will use debt based mechanics

I feel your painz I remember the when bright blue leds were the emblem of performant modern desktop computing.

I'm single handedly responsible for both youtube videos and reviews and proud for that.

Remember the brand? Wendy's girl had the snark. It was so delicious. Tony the Tiger got constantly harassed by pervs. Wow what a time!

I love how they pull off this jrpg villain aesthetic, didn't know this level of power was possible.

The American morons being such a huge mass was what made them so noticeable to me! It's like finding a hole that's swarming in insects in a wallpaper. Or comments dripping with downvotes, but occasionally they were successful at getting upvoted.

Now I'm not saying they were all definitely state actor related, but at least they were dedicated.

I remember when I was more active on Reddit. I specifically remember there being very clear:

1. China trolls
2. Russia trolls and
3. Israel trolls. Like profiles that spent hours a day on regime apologetics.

Also a post on the official Reddit blog showed that "the most addicted U.S. place" was some town with an air force base so clearly there was some of that too there!

Also some MRA subreddit was helmed by New Hampshire republican legislator. Also the legend of Laurelai the fbi informant.

You know some name their tea colors by the color of the stuff you put in water and some name it after the color of the tea itself.

BTW white tea = best tea.
