Quote of the day

“We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

Carl Sagan

Scary and true...

"Sorry, I'm not a firefighter - I dress like this to do burglaries."

“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller

does it then follow that if you die you don't have to work?
hmm, just how much does the embrace count as 'death'?

Not enough, methinks. Undead or not, you still need to pay rent and commodities...

That depends if there are any Giovanni around...

As Feral already said. Probably not enough...

Yep. One moment they're breathing, and the next their only use is in the next Giovanni crypt... or in the Soylent Green factory.

Stupid fucking people.

If you are easily bothered by official stupidity you may want to avoid Poland...
EU in general, actually.

Poor us.

Or wait, are you fed up with people in general?

I hate people, generally.

And the most annoying stupid people I met in Africa. Though the king of them all was white.

Was the above White Supremacy piece?    

So I take it you are back to Europe?

At the Anime Con I just returned from

Me: " Oh my god! Miss, are you cosplaying as Viola from The Witch's House!?"
Girl: "Yes, I am! "
Me: *Insert fangirl squee here* "I'm sorry, can I take your picture? "
Girl: "Sure! *insert pose and picture take*
Me: "Thank you, I'm sorry, that is an awesome cosplay!"
Girl: "Thanks, you're the first one who knew the series."


This was on the third and last day of an Anime Con, and yet people didn't know the series or who she was cosplaying as. D':

Pics or it didn't happen.

@Feral: Yeah, a while. Looking for a job... I misspoke, perhaps. Boss wasn't stupid; I can't put to words how much of a cunt he was. I will not speak of it more. Or type

Ditto.

@Jad: Welcome back to Europe!
