Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.
I dunno. I’m just an overly tired & poorly educated idiot who’s watched too much sci-fi. I really should be asleep, but my natural inclination has always been to fight it until I inevitably lose (sometimes the battles are incredibly intense and drawn out). I know one day it’ll be different, tho - one day I won’t wake up and be forced to admit defeat.
Change the moon’s orbit, or even the Earth’s orbit around the sun? Sure would be an interesting method of dealing with global warming…
There will be two internets: the first will require proof of identity and everything you do will be tied to that identity - forget anonymity forever. The second will be an “underground” one that is significantly more difficult for the average idiot to get onto. It’ll use wherever replaces TOR since TOR is known to be vulnerable to tracking as well. There will be complete anarchy, and it’ll be a real PITA to do anything. Nobody & no site will be trustworthy, and you’ll have to exchange encryption keys & whatnot offline IRL with anyone you want to communicate with in a vaguely trustworthy fashion.
You read about Digg, didn’t you?
Thank you for the explanation because while Google translate does the job it’s intended to, it doesn’t help with context. I was confused at first because I thought religion was frowned upon (to put it politely) in China. (I frown upon it, too, but I’m not a proponent of how it often gets handled over there, either.)
Yeah, the latter half of my life as an American has been frustrating AF because I’m finally at the point where I get what’s actually going on, and it’s just been an ever-deepening pile of shit that frustrates & embarrasses TF out of me.
Well, when the aliens come across the carcass of a planet we leave behind, maybe a few of these will still be in orbit and actually functional enough to show them what we did to ourselves. They’ll be glad they missed us.
My favorite chapter & verse of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
WTF is with the Kim Jong Un look?
This has been known for a long time, but nothing’s gonna change until they’ve totally wrecked everything of value. It’s the “if I can’t have it, nobody can” power trip.
Ten to one the soldiers who’ve died in this sham war were among the ones who rolled their eyes at this crap.
It’s only going to keep getting worse until it somehow blows up in some way huge enough to get the vast majority of morons to actually care enough to fight it. I unfortunately have little hope for that happening in my lifetime.
Yeah, they’re the only ones…
Well, nice to have validation of my feeling that what passes for “developers” nowadays are clueless idiots far more often than it used to be.
Never mind the accessibility benefits - not only those braille devices mentioned, but for other disability needs as well.
As long as he doesn’t do something like… oh, I don’t know… murder anyone, then we can work it all out in the end.
Hand-reared…
Why would anyone spank this poor creature?!?
/s (just to be clear that it’s a joke)
Just search with quotes around some of the more unique strings of text, and add site:linkedin.com to the query.

Playing them ain’t much of a problem. One that can also subscribe to and keep reliable, up-to-date, well-organized channel lists has been for me, which is part of why I don’t bother with IPTV very often.
If only this meant all those people would realize how theology is just a means by which they are manipulated & controlled. The fact so much effort has to be expended just to (attempt to) explain away all the inconsistencies and just straight up nonsense should be enough, but no - the allure of being one with the mob mentality is too strong for logic to overcome.
