Unreal. Please share how you came to this world view.


Jesus it even mentions Instagram Threads in it


Yes, they don't actually answer the question of how safe SF is. They say that some areas are more safe than others. Is the worst area in SF unsafe at all, or are the absolute numbers (and per capita) actually low? How unsafe? Who should be concerned about doing what, and when?


Not to go all Godwin but a lot of people have the same reaction to news about Trump -- for some reason, people see the need to lie about and misrepresent Trump. "If he's so bad, surely people could just list off his crimes without having to try to trick me right? Must not be so bad, it couldn't hurt to give him a turn as president."


I wonder why this guy has a plug for that home doctor book which looks reeeeally sketchy. I went looking for reviews of it and reddit is filled by spam from just one reddit user


I too am intensely distrustful of anyone expressing an opinion in more than a few paragraphs


This is a good point. A manifesto is when you write more than a few paragraphs. The Cheesecake Factory menu is a manifesto, for example, and it is a baffling failure of diction that they do not call it that.


Not the same thing and when phenomena are studied they often get additional names


> sig myself out

What is meant by this?


I think it's a typo. He's talking about how many cigs (ciggies, cigarettes) he needs to get joy back into his life - 30, 40, 50 or 60 :)


No, clearly means zig. Writing 30, 40, 50 or 60 zig programs to solve the problem.


??? that's not the zig they are referring to. They mean by firing 30, 40, 50, or 60 rockets in a relaxing match of Quake, they'll de-stress


This is the interpretation I'll choose. You win. Muh-muh-muh-muhltikill


Likely typo for "dig myself out"?


I actively treasure my shower thoughts time and have been thinking of doing more of that. One issue is that if I'm in a bad mood, stressed, annoyed at some stupid coworker, etc. my mind will wander in that useless area instead of in the direction of cool problems.


I joked with a coworker the other day that if my shower thoughts are too dominated by workplace arguments, it's time to quit that job.


This hits home. Confirms my decision to decline future projects with a difficult client!


Did they disagree?


I saw something in their eyes... Something that makes me wonder if I'll see them again on Monday.


What do you mean by that?


It's a Doctor Who reference to the episode “Blink”, which introduces a villain race of statues that can move, but only when unobserved.

Incoherent snippets of dialogue seen on a DVD turns out to be half of a conversation being had with a specific viewer in the future, a transcript of which goes back in time.


Did SCP-173 rip off this premise?

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173


The SCP page itself was created on 2008-07-25, while the episode aired on 2007-06-09, so it looks like the BBC was more like a year prior.


I think it's a pretty old idea (things which you can't look at, or which can't look at you, are certainly _very_ old mythological ideas), but... maybe? SCP showed up at about the same time as the first weeping angels Dr Who episodes.


It's a quote from the Doctor Who episode "Blink"


I think it's a political statement. ‹clicks pen›
