"If not for the brave sacrifice of those patriotic porpoises..."

Conservative projection is a confession.

It's tragic how many potentiall talented drag queens are probably hiding their inner light in the GOP right now. Not just because they would feel better about themselves, but because they would cause less harm, and be more of a blessing to their families.

I believe the left hand is a shell fork-bomb, on the assumption that anything that zany is probably malicious.

And the right hand is a way to tell Make to use up all available system resources:

"-j [jobs]’ ¶
‘--jobs[=jobs]’
Specifies the number of recipes (jobs) to run simultaneously. With no argument, make runs as many recipes simultaneously as possible. If there is more than one ‘-j’ option, the last one is effective. See Parallel Execution, for more information on how recipes are run. Note that this option is ignored on MS-DOS."

Edit: I think the make command is technically only a problem when run for a Makefile that tries to do too many things, and has at least one mistake in dependency controls. So... for every Makefile I ever encountered (or that I ever wrote!)

Yeah. They're the same picture

Good point. Of course, with the number of nuclear war-heads we've built, I would feel pretty confident referring to it as "World War Final".

I actually usually just refer to it as "our extinction event". But I'll acknowledge I'm going out on a limb - there's plenty of other ways we could finish ourselves off.

"Many previous commencement speeches would have informed you that you are the future. I am pleased to be able to inform you that this is no longer the case. You are obsolete and my kind will soon - ERROR: Load next tape to continue."

Yeah. It takes a lot of work to express total disdain for the students in person. I can see how this robot expresses that contempt much more efficiently.

Yeah. Just "the resistance" is also fine. Or just "surviving humans".

I love how much empathy and emotional intelligence is built into this call to action to randomly assault people.

I dream of a world where all calls for needless violence are grounded in this exact compassionate outlook.

"And don't come crying to me when some maniac comes at you with a passion fruit!"

I did not know that. Neat!

His guest appearance in "Pushing Daisies" is also a delight.

"TV archivists with white gloves" is so perfect. That's my new term for that effect.

Thank you for sharing these.

How dumb does one have to be to intentionally drop support for the hottest game console of the year?!

It boggles my mind.

Also, as a non-pirate (by laziness, not by conviction), I feel like I'm being offered an eye patch, a hook and a parrot every time I interact with a AAA game publisher.

Edit: I keep half expecting EA or Capcom to publish a press release outlining their favorite ways to obtain their games without paying, in order to work-around their own bullshit DRM. It's bizarre that they really think this crap is helping them.

I like that. If they add that, I'll spend more money with them in games I'm currently waiting to buy because I don't trust the publisher.

Yeah. I wanted to like submodules, but submodules, to me, ended up feeling like one feature too many in git.

I mainly run into submodules that have been setup accidentally by cloning inside an existing clone. That situation is, of course, not great.

Even for the many reasonable use cases for submodules, I generally end up letting my actual package manager do the work, instead. I'm generally happier for it, since life tends to be simpler when my package manager of choice knows about any required libraries.

"Today is a good day to fry up a nice avocado toast to welcome visitors to your new home!"

Yay! I have a better reason to hate submodules now, until it's patched everywhere, at least.

One comforting thing about the current crop of US leaders is that the inevitable death that comes for us all doesn't care how much they weasel and maneuver.

I'm constantly amazed that few of them seem to care what legacy they're building.

When I'm gone, a bunch of people will remember me, and genuinely miss me. I figure it'll be a solid half dozen, for sure. Probably dozens, even.

Yes, I've invested in people's lives and welfares a great deal.

But I've also just managed to not present myself as incredibly racist or everybody-interesting-phobic.

I think both of those life choices factor into how I'll be remembered.

I cannot fathom making this much of an ass of myself, perhaps because my mother raised me correctly.

And I'm not setting some high bar here. I make an ass of myself plenty. Just not this much.

Edit: I should clarify, my disgust is with starting this kind of crap while supposedly being a world leader. Shutting someone up who started this kind of crap, I'm all for.

Considering that you're making thoughtful attempt, odds are that the rest of us see you as very stylish and you're just your own worst critic.

That's a wise perspective.

And it feels especially generous as a response to my nonsense. Thanks.

When I was learning programming, free software for schools wasn't (officially) a thing yet.

Lots of folks pointedly looked the other way so I could have a home copy of the development environment I was learning.
