THE PROPHECY HAS COME TO PASS.

It’s like that vegan joke. How will you know if someone is a linux user? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

silly me making registry entries and edits to remove their bullshit from the OS.

Tots and pears

Because most people peaked in HS.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again:

Epic’s corporate overlords don’t have an original thought rattling around in their collective heads. Their entire business model is to flail around, copy anything that seems remotely successful with a reskin, and hope it sticks.

All that aside, I got to play test early forms of fortnite. It’s original inception was sort of like a plants vs zombies game, but with building. When PUBG blew up in popularity, EPIC completely threw out the original design of fortnite and reworked it into a battle royale game to jump on the PUBG hype train to make lots of moolah. Nothing about fortnite was original, and lots of the content that was added are just copies of games that were already amazing, (nod to guitar hero and rock band,) or reskins of fortnight assets into other things that are popular.

It’s felt like fortnight has been keeping epic alive for nearly a decade. 10 - 15 year olds that were playing fortnight and buying with mom and dad’s $ are grown up; AAAANNNNNNDDDD they don’t have disposable income. 20-24 year olds are experiencing 7.7% unemployment, if they have a college degree. Those numbers get worse the less education young people have. Avg unemployment is about 4.5% vs for highschool kids and kids working through college the unemployment rate is 13%. Epic’s entire profit model depends on a never ending supply of children with access to infinite disposable income.

So if Epic wants to do well financially it’s going to have to:

• Take risks (leading to the production of products that people outside of their usual customer base want to purchase.)
• Support policies that ensure plebs have $ to buy their reskinned bullshit.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Is this image from the Saudi Arabia air base where the sentry aircraft was damaged by an Iranian strike?

You aren’t wrong, but soil can be turned over, and the wildflowers can be removed.

Key Native Nitrogen-Fixing Wildflowers:

• Lupines (Lupinus spp.): Includes Texas Bluebonnet and various perennial species; they thrive in poor soil and are loved by pollinators.
• Prairie Clover (Dalea spp.): Purple (Dalea purpurea) and White (Dalea candida) are drought-tolerant perennials that fix high levels of nitrogen.
• False Indigo (Baptisia spp.): Sturdy perennials with showy, pea-like flower spikes (e.g., Blue False Indigo).
• Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata): An annual that grows rapidly, making it excellent for disturbed soils.
• Wild Senna (Senna hebecarpa): A tall perennial that produces yellow flowers.
• Canada Milkvetch (Astragalus canadensis): A hardy, native perennial.
• Groundnut (Apios americana): A vine-like wildflower with edible tubers.

Bee extinction means no polination, no polination means no crops; penny wise and pound foolish.

Seems easier than engineering edible yeast to get them the sterols they need.

The solution is so simple. Crop/pollen diversity. Instead of letting fields lay fallow for crop rotation, they could plant diverse wildflower meadows to improve quality of bee health for the traveling bees that get shipped around for crop rotation. Or the bee keepers themselves that sell the services of their bees, could ensure diverse flower and pollen options when their bees aren’t traveling.

Fuck trump. Keep cooking Ukraine.

Must be a drought in Venice.

Public Enemy #1. As a child I played their cassettes until the tape broke. Love these guys.

I sent a full copy of the project 2025 document to a coworker because they refused to believe what I was saying was inside it. I was like read for yourself. Nope, they still trust republicans and refuse to believe.

I think it’s people believing it won’t happen to them. There is risk, but I will be an exception.

😂

Is he still trying to save Kairi too?
