Hogfather by Terry Pratchett:

„

right," said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.”

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—”

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

“So we can believe the big ones?”

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

“They’re not the same at all!”

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—”

MY POINT EXACTLY

„

Duly noted.

Thanks!

Where is this pic from?

Bang Lois Lane and order some pizza afterwards, obviously.

I‘m sure there is a „Metric“ song about this…

Found it. Handshakes by Metric:

Buy this car to drive to work Drive to work to pay for this car Bah bah bah-da la

Say you wanna get in And you’re gonna get out But you won’t 'Cause it’s a trap

Was listening to some computer podcast a while ago and the co-host and ex- hacker was saying that more and more VPNs are getting targeted and it’s just a matter of time we see quite a bit of them owned. (I think he was talking about implementation of VPNs for remote workers, rather than actual VPN providers. Sorry, it was some time ago)

Anyway, the host asked „What about wireguard?“

And the co-host: „Oh yeah, wireguard is solid! But all the services building up on wireguard? … They’ll get popped.“

Doesn’t have to be true, but something to keep in mind.

The mantra of /r/malelivingspace:

• proper lightsource like a standing lamp
• some potted plant for color and life
• get at least an armchair, dude.
• TV wallmounted at an appropriate height
• separation of living and sleeping (No TV in the bedroom)
• get a rug that that really ties the room together
• a big framed (!) artpiece like a painting or poster

There’s an IKEA couch table that used to cost 15 bucks and looks pretty good. Use rugs to create islands in the room, for example beneath the couch area. Use pillows on the couch as color accents. Maybe paint the walls something different than white.

Look on YouTube and the net, there should be plenty of inspiration.

Was? Kein Gutalax dabei?

Very well written! Makes me curious about the game, thank you!

Aua!

Actual fact: The democrats don’t control the weather and create hurricanes to destroy Florida.
