235 hours in, lo, the second expansion!

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

Premier Eby says B.C. will make daylight time permanent This Sunday will mark the last time B.C. residents have to change their clocks.

The screenshot of the release notes reads: A new version of TeX Live Utility is available! TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now? Release Notes: Changes Since 1.54 • Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book. • First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software. • Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date. • Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date. • Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database. Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144. • Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models. • Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

I'm pretty sure that one of the CBC hockey announcers just implied that he reads RPF about the American and Canadian Olympic team goalies

Instead of a cat, Dr. Evil should have had a Canada goose

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

I didn't really realize how *funny* the Final Fantasy games are

If I ever get bitten by a zombie, I want y'all to either 1) shoot me before I turn or 2) wait until I turn and then let me loose in a room full of people we hate

Netflix's Surrender Has Already Begun A CEO calling his own company's past a "mistake." A 47-page report designed to be cited, not read. The pressure campaign that broke Facebook is back for Netflix.

Today's newsletter is about the very bad feeling I got from watching the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about Netflix this week www.readtpa.com/p/netflixs-s...

Dance like people are watching and you’re trying to make them upset

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

Hey funny story!

Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money?

Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.

Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)

In the FFVII Remake crossover for PowerWash Simulator, Heidegger shares a range of opinions about Sephiroth, commenting on everything from his hair to his iconic long katana.

This joke/reference is probably only funny to me, but I'm laughing enough for everyone

It'd be weird even for me to track down someone I haven't talked to since high school to tell them that I just played a video game with a character voiced by a singer she was hardcore obsessed with and it made me think of her, right?

I didn’t think I could find a hair descriptor in fanfic more annoying than "ravenette", but thank goodness to the FF7 community, who have proven me wrong with the cursed existence of the word "silverette"

Reading the US news lately is like watching a movie depicting a particularly unsubtle fall into fascism

Old Spice should use skinless Uncle Frank from Hellraiser in their commercials

I FUCKING BEAT FINAL FANTASY VII!!!! BARRETT HAD ONE GODDAMNED HIT POINT LEFT BUT I BEAT IT

Nintendo should make a Mario Kart game where they're driving through other games.

Mario riding a cloud through Gongaga, waving at Cloud and Barrett like Bastian at the end of The Neverending Story.

At the rate I'm going, at the end of the year I'm going to be like "I played 5 games this year and they were all FF7!"

My cat regrets to inform you that I will no longer be working today. My attention will instead be directed to petting his soft belly. He does not apologize for the inconvenience.

I found a $300 USD gift card that my old team gave me when I left the US and decided to spend it on FFVII toys

hmmmmmmmmff 🍷

I guess what surprises me is the revelation that Meta had a fact-checking program. Every platform it owns is basically unusable at this point

My friend: [Partner] says I don’t want an autism eval because the new administration might round up everybody into camps.
Me: On the other hand, if you get a diagnosis and he starts making noises about doing that, you can move to Canada and claim asylum!
My friend: ...helping?

Happy Birthday, Celsius! Canada marks 50 years of metric-Imperial measurements EDMONTON — Happy Birthday, Celsius! Environment Canada's use of Celsius turns 50 years old in 2025. It was the catalyst of a lengthy national metric conversion that abruptly ended a decade after it began. The result is seen and felt every day.
