Saw a nice t shirt on a lissome young lady on the tram. It read "Be a unicorn. Grow Up. Stab people with your head." Says it all really.
I hate this fucking reality sometimes
the last phone I paid for was a Nokia 3310. I'll continue my scavenging, thank you
The corporate media doesn't even try to manufacture consent anymore, they just write articles like this
now they just tell people they "should", like it's a duty or imperitive
The only hope is they don't find a way to make us all fork out for expensive folding phones like they have regular smart phones
That's the part that caught my attention. Our lords and masters have decreed we must CONSUME AT ANY COST!!!
should/shall are very powerful words, they are the words of the Ten Commandments and words in legal statutes.
This is not reality - it's functional fantasy. The horrible part is that there are people that think it IS real.
You're right. I meant as far as an obvious product placement is disguising itself as an article.
Oh I see now. Product placement has been a problem since the James Bond films and is now metastasizing through all culture. Civilisation is about to fall (for the umpteenth time).

In India iphones cost more than a basic car. It's outrageous
and yet, when I bought my first home pc it was really expensive. And a printer too. 1984 spent nearly 3,000 on the whole set up, in today's money that is 11,650. But for us it was an investment in a career .
To some people that amount of money is nothing. Sadly am not one of those people, so I guess their ad wonβt work on me!
Stuck the action camera on the bike for the ride to work this morning. The wide angle lense and the right shutter settings are already creating some great motion blur. I'm waiting for it to export on my phone to have a flick through it

I like pain, but this is next level bullshit. My lower half is a witch's cauldron, my head HURTS!
I AM THE WHINGE QUEEN, GENUFLECT AND BESTOW UPON HER YOUR OFFERINGS OF PAINKILLERS
Those vajayjays sure seem to give some owners trouble. Best wishes for your pelvic comfort.
Hehe it's such a great name for it
Imagine there's a gif here of Lisa Simpson claiming she's the Lizard Queen

Treat Review: Mars Bar Rice Crispy: If this was an actual slice, I'd be all over it. But as a Mars Bar, it kind of felt over complicating the Mars Bar and it felt messier. Quite tasty, might have again, but would prefer it as a little square on a bit of butchers paper...
Anyone had any fun treats lately they'd like to share?
The Old Gold Bundaberg rum choc is... fine. Wouldn't bother a second time. The dark choc coated ginger out of the scoop & weigh thingy is really damn good! Really zingy batch. β‘οΈ

I think I saw someone steal a bike at the train station yesterday.
I walked up to the steps leading to the platform and past the bike rack where a guy was unlocking the lock. He looked up. He was struggling. He did it then rode away.
But that look at me. He didn't have a helmet. And it was 8 minutes since the last train. Takes 15 seconds to get to the bike racks.
I think he was just trying different keys until he found one that worked.
I can't prove it tho and what could I have done anyway. I was the only other person at the train station. I kinda feel bad for the bike owner.
Small turnout in the office today so they got KFC in, it was worth riding I guess. I only wanted chips at most but I got affectionately coerced into having a burger the way women do
The M-Vave FM-1 arrived. A quick tinker and it's pretty impressive; speaker battery, effects, sequencer. All for under $100. I have some of those Roland units like the E-4 that came out a little while ago, it's a similar footprint. I'll have to see how well they play with each other

I really have to lock in during the mornings at the office because this place gets so hot and stuffy in the afternoon you can't concentrate on anything
Integrating the new 10" sub into the studio tm.
Can't wait.
So it'll be 2 x 7" main monitors, 2 x 8" sub + 1 x 10" sub.
Doesn't sound like much but it will be BONE CRUSHING. Relatively small room / studio so me and my sternum's resonant frequency are ready. π
