Murderbot. I'll be fine, as long as I don't make eye contact.

the crankiness sounds pretty justified

agreed

Yup. They didn't start until about 2023, but I have them every month or so now.

With the proliferation of GPS and built-in spyware that reports back to the dealer and insurance, I'm honestly surprised they don't just use that to auto-generate tickets. It's far more profitable to fine people than prevent crime.

Toronto tried putting in a bunch of speed cameras. The locals cut them down. And they kept cutting them down every time they were replaced. Nobody ratted the perpetrators out. After like a year or two of this, they're finally giving up and removing them all.

I'd be OK if we all went full solarpunk for a couple decades.

I shit you not, there's a well-known tech corporation currently working on an AI project that's actually called Nexus. The person who told me about it almost lost their shit in the meeting when they were told what it was going to be called.

I'd forgotten that all the Klingon weapons from TNG were designed by mall ninjas.

25AQI. This might be the cleanest air I've ever seen in Phoenix. Of course, it's also 88% humidity and we have a koi pond in the back yard, so it's not like I'm going to open up all the doors and windows to air out the house.

Quick, put out all the shiny things!

Sounds like me and my 30k+ song music collection that will probably never have all the duplicates fully removed.

also, have quokka hugs

I can smell your spicy brains

oof, no bueno :(

Congratulations, you just reinvented Starfinder or Spelljammer depending on your preferred system. 😁

The best games (and players) are the ones that enable stories you retell for years after. That time a kender with a Wand of Wonder said "oops!". That time the entire party and the enemies headed straight at them all rolled 1s on their perception. The NPC so absurd and fun they took over the plot.

booo!
