Philosophy dropout and self-proclaimed synthesist. Handle with care.

The government is, by far, not omnipotent. The people who are employed by it and from whom it is comprised would certainly like you to think it is, because it makes their jobs easier.

"That's easy for you to say; And that is, indeed, exactly what you are doing."

That frightening moment when you realize that your home partition, set to remount read-only on error, did, in fact, remount read-only.

The good part about having a strong preference towards text-based interfaces, is being able to access your data even if all you have at hand is a recovery shell on a USB stick.

"This toothbrush is way overpriced. Just how much can one toothbrush possibly- (sees dental bill) ...I'll take the whole box."

The most troubling thing about the tech company whose business model is built around making its users angry, is its uncanny ability to make people angry whether or not they have an account with it, and even if they are actively avoiding it.

One day, i'm going to figure out the tendency of my computers to break down on Friday, maximizing the time i'm forced to spend without access to what is effectively my exocortex.

I have long regarded activism as a source of constant stress and misery; And i still do, except now it turns out that doing nothing is, somehow, even worse.

"Wait a minute... You call THAT 'comedy'? This is supposed to be FUNNY? You're not leaving me much place for faith in humanity."

Two things are certain: death and taxes; and the former will not save you from the latter.

Could it be that this is more indicative of your own personality than it is about theirs? Though, i can't really object the assession; Most cryptocurrency speculators are indeed absolute tools.

Don't do drugs. Except the kind that turns you into a functional human being and a useful member of society.

"Contrary to what you would like to believe, the world does not revolve around you. It revolves around me!"

I'm not quite rich enough to afford getting free stuff for free.

"Did you see that?! No? Me neither... But my camera did!"

Being sick sucks. You can't even be rude to people convincingly.

"I give a rat's ass! You give a rat's ass! Everybody gives a rat's ass! Or not."
