#it becomes a liability

[comatosecartesian]

If something you own can be remotely disabled - intentionally or not - by a third party, you don’t own it, you’re renting it.

Maybe rent is free!

But someday the person on the other end of that equation is going to either a) up your rent to increase profits, b) sell to someone who will up your rent to increase profits or c) go out of business and take your access with them. This is a feature, not a bug, of the endless-growth model. “Internet activated” means “remote kill switch”.

Welcome to the future, where you don’t own anything and the stuff you rent stops working once your phone has no signal.

Crosshair being legitimately the baby brother of the Batch always makes me giggle, my man is just peak youngest sibling behaviour.

one last thing, i really tried to give george pickens the benefit of the doubt bc he is so talented but there is absolutely no reason why your teammates have to have a talk with you multiple times throughout the game like you are 3 years old

i just think. if you are team lead on a crisis situation. you should make an effort to tell people when you are unexpectedly out sick for three days. while in the middle of managing & investigating the crisis situation. and maybe ask a colleague to step in to cover your role. and Also maybe communicate to the full team instead of siloing information.

people who unironically say film Erik was right scare me like no??? no he wasn't. I can somewhat understand arguments for 97 Erik but film Erik was actually just stupid

i’ll need to add a companion verse for connor because it’s come up multiple times

short summary of that verse:

connor works with the harpers, knows jaheira, and because connor is resistant to a decent amount (does not get points of madness, does not suffer from levels of exhaustion, poison immunity, does not need to sleep eat or breathe + undead have disadvantage attacking him initially via undying warlock feature) of bullshittery, he can be used as a support/backup. he joined the harpers via laerel silverhand, an ex harper. he’s not ideal by any means, especially being undead and an aberration but desperate times call for desperate measures. when the end of the world is a possibility, it’s all hands on deck. being picky isn’t a luxury.

his level during this varies according to context and need and plot devices.

I don't want to hijack this post, so I won't put this in their notes, but its so wild to see just a totally different take on Elizabeth's role in the tribunal. I had always assumed that she was there because she chose to be there. Surely there's no reason for Krenel to target her specifically. Even if she'd been caught outside, I feel like she could have slipped off. But Elizabeth doesn't. She's in front right next to Titus, already trying to talk the Krenel mercenaries down when Harry and Kim show up. She doesn't even have a weapon but she doesn't back down through that whole stand-off.

I don't believe the Claires would have wanted her anywhere near the line of fire. Not necessarily out of the goodness of their hearts: they paid for her education as a lawyer, which seems like too much of an investment, both in money and maybe more importantly, time, to throw away. To me, it seemed like Everat considered the Hardie boys to be the disposable ones.

There’s something incredibly ironic about having never dated in high school because of how immature and repugnant it felt at the time to both be kids living at home, only for my first relationship, ten years later, to be with an old high school classmate while we both live at home.

Horny het girlies would be way more satisfied with a vibrator or her own fingers than with a moid

Apparently only 7% who sleep around get an orgasm

Real.

Also much safer, no need to worry about possibly dealing with a rape ape.
