From Diablo, little harder to make out the skyline from over there, though. (Last year)

Reminds me of this pizza from Fieldwork in San Leandro. (Specifically San Leandro because they seem to have a different menu at all of them)

🌶️ BARE KNUCKLE - 25
tater tots, bacon, garlic, smoked cheddar, scallion, onion, chipotle aioli

Yeah look at this mess.

What used to be men standing at attention with shouldered rifles but now is just an undifferentiable mess of shapes

If you didn’t say “holy shit look at that big ass raven” it’s probably not a raven.

Comparison of a raven versus a crow. A crow is 3/4 of a meter wingspan while a raven will have a one and a half meter wingspan.

I can assure you I barely have any idea what those are referring to, quiz.

:. YOUR SCORE
25/50

Some post-rationalist sympathies.
You still trust the maps, but you've noticed the territory humming. You read the Sequences and also that one essay about Circling.
You answered "I have no idea what this means" to 5 statements - some of the lore hasn't reached you yet.

If you pay careful attention to the various map apps out there, you can sense a subtle bias towards the SF Bay Area in their datasets and presentation.

Mercator projection map with the north pole at -122.65 longitude, 37.72 latitude. Map area with a North cutoff of 89.9 degrees and South cutoff of 77 degrees.

Spatial distortion of the map is aligned to give more detail to the Bay Area. County divisions shown within California, and state divisions within the United States. National divisions elsewhere.

The Bay Area takes up about half the map and is bigger than all other continents combined.

Also, from the detailed one. Which is funny because where I was born is in one of the darkest blue areas, lol. (But also military brat so I just sound like an American)

Dialect map with red areas indicating most similar and blue areas indicating least similar showing California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Washington has all pretty strongly red. The darkest blues are in New Orleans and the Boston area.

I might just be forgetting when I went to Louisiana. 🤔

United States: where I’ve been.

Every state except Alaska, Hawaii, and Louisiana are tagged with at least “passed through”, with 17 of those, 17 “visited”, 8 “stayed a while”, and 6 “lived there.

I knew if I waited long enough I would find someone making my utilitarian shitpost argument that poorly optimized software load times are responsible for millions of cumulative deaths by aggregation, but earnestly.

Just witnessed an able, adult male press this button to cross this intersection.
Making ~100 cars wait 30 seconds is the destruction of 50 minutes of a human life.
Pushing walk buttons is worse than reclining the airline seat.
(Parents, handicapped, infirm etc excepted)

I genuinely did not expect this to work and slash or to get this roasted by the follow-up.

Trying to enjoy arguing on the Internet less, but the consumer preference for low-quality garbage is just survivorship bias in a trench coat.

If you want, should I dial the cynicism up to 10 or keep it at a casual main character level?

You ever see a crow with a milk mustache?

Two crows in a parking lot. One of enemy has what looks like a “milk mustache” but it is actually from melted vanilla ice cream. (Also I guess it’s too and bottom beak so maybe it’s a milk goatee)

It looks really happy about it.

Rookie mistake. We got taco spaghetti and onion rings and harassed by chickens.

A chicken hiding under some foliage, looking at a piece of bread like it’s judging it.

I love that game but I can see how if you don’t like that *specific* kind of combat you would hate it. And then I’m like

I think it’s ok to hold people responsible for their bad decisions even if they are voters and apparently we’re just supposed to treat their actions as the result of what politicians tell them to do like they’re NPCs in a video game.

Norman Rockwell “guy standing up at town meeting to voice unpopular opinion” meme.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

QR code that resolves to this text:

your apartment, the sport of basketball, and the Republic of Korea are all social constructs. mere recognition of this fact does not actually make the question of whether you are standing in your own apartment, playing basketball, or a Korean national up in the air until settled by op ed editors

We go now live to Mitch McConnell

The grim reaper claw machine meme except it’s been modified to have the claw touching the crowd and the skull is tilted slightly downwards because obviously you would be looking where the claw is not where it would be in the regular version of the meme. I have standards.

I think someone forgot to adjust this sundial for DST, SMH

A sundial at a rest stop showing two o’clock, although the picture has clearly been taken at night and the shadow is from one of the street lamps.
