It’s weird that this has become such a controversial opinion. The internet is supposed to be open and available. “Information wants to be free.” It’s the big gatekeepers who want to keep all their precious data locked away in their own hoard behind paywalls and logins.

If some clanker is going to read my words, it’s a very small price to pay for people being able to do the same.

Like the first death in Cube (gore).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Palpatine

Close up of a cute puppy named PC, “please pick me.”

I’ve often heard it’s misunderstood and used in inappropriate situations, but it’s still a real phenomenon.

Like laypeople tossing around “OCD” when they shouldn’t. Absolutely real, but not in the same way that it’s commonly used.

The security of their bank balance.

‘People who spend too much time on Facebook’ overlaps with ‘People who need cheap lawyers.’

Turtle with a runny nose.
