War. War never changes.

So, Antichamber, then…?

He very obviously did not remember the words and was just naming things he could literally see at the time.

Exactly.

Person.
Woman.
Man.
Camera.
TV.

Land of the free*.

*Some exceptions might apply.

gun accidentally went off

Yeah, of course. The gun accidentally leapt out of its holster and into its owner’s hand, accidentally released the safety, accidentally pointed itself at the victim’s face, and accidentally went off.

Completely unavoidable accident, really.

Weird how these extremely common completely unavoidable accidents tend to overwhelmingly concentrate themselves on one particular country in the whole wide world, though. Must be some kind of accidental statistical fluke.

Gah! A bit too much for me, but if you want contrast it’s certainly got it.

I want contrast

Sure, but you can also have contrast with a dark background that isn’t constantly shooting a third of the photons your screen can generate (or more, since in some screens blue pixels are the largest), and the most energetic at that, at your eyes… high contrast themes tend to have a black background (not a gray one like most dark themes) precisely as a way to maximise contrast…

(It was even worse when we sat all day in front of a fucking particle accelerator, of course; frankly, as much as I loved CRTs’ ability to work with multiple resolutions I don’t know how we didn’t all end up going blind…)

Nostalgically atrocious.

Aside from racism.

No such thing. It’s racism all the way down, no matter what colour they try to paint it.

You might not like it, but Borland yellow on blue was peak IDE design.

Personally, I have downloaded Borland themes for all my IDEs. I don’t use them, of course, because I’m not entirely insane and I value my eyesight too much, but I have downloaded them.

Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript.

I don’t like ads, or websites using JavaScript for anything I don’t approve of, or unnecessarily.

Personally I’m more of a leg guy 🤷‍♂️.

And I don’t particularly like overly large breasts, which lots of people seem to enjoy. A handful is fine, thank you very much.

I just ask them to please do anything they can to fix whatever my hair is doing, inasmuch as possible, and to remove as much volume as they can without it getting out of control (too long, and it’s a chaotic uncontrollable mess; too short and it’s also a chaotic uncontrollable mess; these two states sometimes overlap… but I don’t want to shave the whole damn thing).

It usually works for a week or two until it starts getting long enough to start getting completely out of control again.

Japan isn’t big on change.

He wasn’t some revolutionary, though… he’d just watched Taxi Driver about fifteen times and wanted to impress Jodie Foster (who, it must be noted, was twelve when shooting the film, and barely eighteen when Hinckley shot Reagan).

I very much doubt he’d have become an idol, given that.

he almost saved America

It would have been entirely accidentally, though.

He didn’t shoot Reagan for being Reagan, he shot him because he wanted to impress Jodie Foster after developing an obsession with her (who’d been twelve when filming and was eighteen at the time of the attempt on Reagan’s life) after watching Taxi Driver about fifteen times.

He didn’t shoot Reagan for any of the billions of reasons Reagan deserved to be shot for, though… he did it as an attempt to impress Jodie Foster after developing an obsession with her after watching Taxi Driver about fifteen times.

It’s important to note that Foster had been twelve when shooting the film, and that even the deranged and mentally ill protagonist of said film abandons any sexual interest on her character the instant he becomes aware of her age, despite her being a child prostitute, and that the character said protagonist was trying to impress by shooting a politician was in her twenties (Foster was barely eighteen when Hinckley shot Reagan).

And if I’m not mistaken he did so after he’d been notified the kid was being investigated for death threats.

(I mean, I’m all for people who don’t secure their guns being charged for what their kids do with them, but this particular case goes far beyond mere negligence.)

To children?!

Well, the USA is the only United Nations member who hasn’t ratified the UN convention on rights of the child (since it would prevent children from being executed or imprisoned for life and give them guaranteed access to safe medical care, standing in court, the right to divorce their rapist spouses, protections from physical and sexual abuse, and so on, all of which go against the country’s core principle of maximising suffering), so no surprise there, really.

As always, the suffering is the point.
