The 5K iMacs cannot be used in target mode so is useless as a screen for anything but the OS installed on it. Unless you’re a god-tier hardware hacker, that is, and can do a lot of soldering and re-engineering.

Want Only
Leaving out rejection, this is the most common male experience by far. Really puts the lie to the “MEN ONLY WANT SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111” crack-smoking narrative, doesn’t it?
I can think of a dozen times I didn’t realize until days, months, and sometimes years later when some girl was flirting with me and I did not pick up on it or didn’t want to assume incorrectly.
If I (or most men) actually cared about sex only, those opportunities would never be missed.
The Magic Virus
Covidians grant the virus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Covid magical powers it simply cannot have. And this is because it is not a retrovirus. It cannot “hide.” It cannot “come back.”
You’re either infected or not. The infection clears or it does not. They also grant it other magical superpowers too, of course, like the ability to end civilization. That was supposed to have been gone already due to Long Covid, by the way.
Buncha crazy-ass loons.
Prop Op
I found explicit messages between my wife and my dad, and I don’t know what to do.
It’s interesting how many things we were told women “never do” that they do at about the same rates as men. That’s a damn successful propaganda operation there! I admire it.
Backyards
It’s worrying how many problems are the result of and downstream of NIMBYism. Being convinced you’re the last good one who “deserves” to be there is a horrid goddamn disease.
Boomer NIMBYism is killing large parts of the nation.
Dict
Why grill candidates on why they’re looking for a job? What do employers hope to learn from this?
The weird thing about companies looking for desperate candidates like this is in general you end up with crap employees. I’ll never come work for you if the interview goes this way. It’s a red flag that the job and the people there will be insufferable.
I really do think companies care about mediocrity, predictability and controllability more than they do about hiring anyone who is actually extremely capable. I’m none of those first three things and I’m also often 10x as good as the types with that trifecta of traits. It’s clear that the average company and particularly the average MBA just wants someone who will mutely follow whatever crap some clown in a suit orders — that this hire will just do stupid stuff because someone says to do so.
And I am not that person.
Logocal
The reason all logos now look generic and are just words (like the truly horrible new Jaguar logo) is so that they are more readable on tiny-ass smartphone screens.
That is the explanation you are looking for. Everything else is wrong. Yet another thing in the nearly-endless list that smartphones have ruined.
Jaguar Jonze – TESSELLATIONS
I like the song and enjoy the colors in the video, but it should’ve had more ideas. It’s too aimless. But the color is nice.
Violent Scenes
I was watching a Sky (British TV) program and this was at the beginning:
I was like, dang, me too!
ICC You
Where’s the ICC arrest warrants for the Hamas leaders who committed the October 7 atrocity? I mean, for the ones who haven’t been blown to bits yet.
But where are those exactly?
Covax
The Covidians and anti-vaxxers are surprisingly similar. Both hold onto a vision of the world that does not comport with reality, both are convinced vaccines do not help, and both believe those living their lives normally are taking insane risks.
Doing the stupid comes in all sorts of varicolored varieties.
Machiavelli and the Emergence of the Private Study.
An ad giant wants to run your next TV’s operating system. Oh hell no.
World War III has officially begun, Ukraine’s ex-top general says. Correct.
My Landlord Learns The Importance of Keeping Your Word – and I Learn Not To Renovate a Rental Condo.
Taiwan must hold out one month if China invades: U.S. war game.
I lost one friend, not a good one or anything, just dudes (Russian) I played with from 2019-2022.
Lots of Republicans suddenly think the economy wasn’t that bad after all.
