    I don't even call it violence when it's in self defence; I call it intelligence.

    Haha. How fitting, actually: I have used that argument several times to point out that nations are based on culture and identity and not race and descent; and no that's not just an opinion but historically demonstrable fact. There is a certain irony that the highest concentrations of Neo-Nazis in Germany these days are in East Germany...


    ...and we would've gotten the Pannonian Plain, too, if not for those meddling Magyars! :p

    I'd whip out my e-dick* and say that Great Morava did surprisingly well for an upstart state on the top of the shopping list of frickin' Roman Empire, but it's a bit too late for discussion. :P

    You know what always weirded me out about Florida's license plates? Their stickers always seem to be yellow.


    Most states use a different color sticker for each year to make it easier for law enforcement to spot expired plates without having to be close enough to read the tiny printed year. But not Florida! Whoo, yellow all the way for the Sunshine State!


    (Granted, nowadays cops can just run the plates electronically and see if the registration's up to date, but it still seems like a weird decision.)

    I wonder if it's for real, or just some episcopal Fools' Day trollery.

    What's worse, whether or not it's real, or having to ponder whether or not it's real.

    I am God, and all other gods are my imagery. I gave birth to myself. I am millions of forms excreating; eternal; and nothing exists except through me; yet I am not them - they serve me.

    ^ I think that only underlines my loathing for their oeuvre.


    Also, to quote myself earlier: "Naney posting on IJBM? What sweet madness is this?"

    @lrdgck Note that in the article, he's also quoted as saying



    “Sexual love … is intended only for a man and woman in marriage, where children can come about naturally,”



    So uh, I don't think this really means anything.

    City. Sadly, my mom is not really interested in being eaten by wolves or whatever the fuck is up on those woods.

    Also, apparently this is a thing. I have to say that Parsons really impresses me with how well he pastiches these authors.

    I think I know which fan theory he subscribes to.


    -shudder-


    He does a really impressive imitation/parody regardless.

    I just put whatever sites in my Google Reader (or Feedly now, since I'm slowly transitioning) that I want to know updates for. Webcomics, blogs, and...that's about it, actually.

    It seems the problem is this.


    1. Tech producers develop technology for doing something.


    2. Users use said technology for doing said something.


    3. Tech producers get bored, or notice a lack of revenue stream, and develop technology for doing the same thing.


    4. New users use new technology for doing said thing that's same as the above something.


    5. Old users complain bitterly that new technology is messing up their way of doing things.  They are promptly ignored when it is discovered that they do not produce a revenue stream.


    6. Repeat steps 3 through 6.


     


    That, in essence, is why I object to the "Steve Jobs thinking" of creating demand to feed your product line.

    There's a quote somewhere attributed to him, saying that if you're in the tech business, the best thing that you can accomplish is to design a product that people don't even know they need, or something like that.


    On one hand this can be interpreted positively to say that you're making such a radical innovation that totally changes how people live their lives, in a good way.


    On the other hand this can be interpreted negatively to say that you want to design something so attractive and cool, regardless of its actual usefulness, that people will give you money for it even if it doesn't enhance their lives at all.

    Given that it's Apple we're talking about, it's mostly the second one.
