Last time I cooked with habaneros i aerosolized them (lots of coughing)

This time went better

Found this while reading about Iraq Invasion.

Do you (or someone you know in a Portland, OR business or organization) have a computational problem for which you need a piece of software? Let me know and maybe my Software Development class can help you out.

I think it is high time to get rid of our extremely irrational fear of nuclear power. The world has moved beyond Chernobyl ... https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612940/the-new-safer-nuclear-reactors-that-might-help-stop-climate-change/

Suppose you come across a genie who gives you a boon that you can explore any one celestial object(only one) and without dying - which object would you choose to explore?

I would love to explore a neutron star 🌟

I have heard that 1 spoon of neutron star contains the mass of mount Everest 😱

@design_RG @mngrif pics or it didn't happen

@Jojothegoodperson Every time you do this sort of thing, people get upset with you. Then they complain to me and I tell you that I'll ban you if you don't stop. So I have to warn you and then I have to apologize to people, then I ask why and your explanation ("I hate them", "I was mad", etc.) amounts to "I did it because I felt like it". You threatened to kill someone's children. That'd be enough for a ban. You say you'll stop, and you stop for a while but you start back up again.

There are very few rules here and you keep breaking them. This creates problems for me and I have better shit to do with my time. My options are to ban you or to spend time handling problems you create because you fail to listen to this very simple recommendation: if someone tells you to leave them alone, leave them alone. Do I need to ban you in order to prevent this from happening again?

@freemo @inditoot @_lunawinters I have a friend. He couldn't finish college. He tried to do programming but constantly run into frustrations of poor instructions and lack of help and encouragement from his college. He spends most of his time playing video games and "running away from reality" that is his own future, let alone reality of the world. If he tries to face reality, all that greets him is the "reality" that there's no place in this world for him. No one wants an unmotivated "lazy ass" like him. He is not able to function in this society and likewise this society has no place for him.

And yet he is my absolute best friend. He talked me out of feeling worthless when I couldn't make anything work. He nudged me into game jams and gave me ideas for me to work on. He played games with me and helped distracting me on days when I feel like shit, not just shit about myself but shit about society and "reality". Everytime I slip, I got back on my feet because he yanked me out of "reality" and helped me experience a better way of life, proving to me that it is totally possible to feel better about yourself, and all the more proof that before you can save the world, you gotta save yourself first.

He's totally running away from reality, but in his case, I hope he won't ever have to face it. If anything, reality doesn't deserve his gift.
