For real. I watched him convince a hunter not to kill him just by saying “duck season” and “rabbit season” in rapid succession.

The only things I even recognize from those two are fdroid and lynx.

It’s taking every fiber of my being not to downvote you. I grew up with Calvin. I’ve shared my complete collection with my kids, and every one of them has been infatuated. It may be over saturated for you, but I would place them as wonderful, lasting works. Put them with Alice in Wonderland, not edgy knockoffs.

That’s the Cheesecake Factory.

My small kids almost qualify as an army of cats or ferrets, and they absolutely insist on being fed, watered, and interacted with.

Place gives Reddit exactly what it needs most - user engagement. By going, you’re feeding Reddit stats they can show prospective investors and advertisers on unique users, time on site, and clicks even after the protests.

Reddit was very crafty in relaunching Place right now. They can show a material post-API uptick exactly as Spez promised.

Tell me we’re Gen X without telling me we’re Gen X.

Hello, James. Welcome. Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of. You could walk around it in an hour, but still it was, it was a paradise for us. One summer, we went for a visit and discovered the place had been infested with rats! They'd come on a fishing boat and gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you get rats off an island? Hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait and the rats would come for the coconut, and... They would fall into the drum. And after a month, you have trapped all the rats, but what do you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it and they begin to get hungry. And one by one... They start eating each other, until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what? Do you kill them? No. You take them and release them into the trees, but now they don't eat coconut anymore. Now, they only eat rat. You have changed their nature.

I reread the whole thing and I’m still not sure how heroin plays into any of it.

The nice solution: “Defederate preemptively.”

The substill solution: “Create an army of bots that spam goatse, tubgirl, and other offensive content in response to any threads user post or comment. Make Meta flee.”

New KDE user here. I don’t know what I’m doing and I also don’t get the joke.

The fact that it says “Close in 3590s” - or an hour long popup - suggests it is fake.
