I don't know why I enjoy hearing about how some companies, almost like amoral programs, respond poorly & without virtue to particular financial incentives instead of opting for the low-time-preference decision to protect their reputation, a decision that would (probably) be more common in a world where corporations had less liability protection and more skin in the game. I'm thinking that C-corps & LLCs might be structures that incentivize bad behavior. Maybe I'm totally off base, IDK.

Answer: Putting the milk in the back of the store as a loss leader isn’t because of what many would assume to be the logical reason: attempt

Where do you see the most obvious signs of patriarchy in a typical grocery store?

Putting the milk in the back of the store as a loss leader isn’t because of what many would assume to be the logical reason: attempting to get people to browse the store on the way to a frequently purchased item in the hope that they’ll buy more. No, it’s because all grocery stores are patriarchal & want to oppress female cows’ products. Not only are grocery stores axiomatically sexist, but they’re also boviphobic.

Thomas Massie 2028

Massie 2028. I love this man, in the most homo way possible. He gives me Richard Feynman vibes: a wonderful role model & an ideal American. He gives me hope for the USA.

Desktop workbench for binding modular CSS sheets into one theme and refactoring monolithic Blogger theme CSS into files. - MoribundInstitute

CSS theming whatnot has become less unwieldy, maybe.

I made MorStyleBinder: a lightweight Rust/Floem GUI desktop workbench for binding modular CSS sheets, like the concatenation whatnot you’d usually do with a script, into one exportable theme bundle.

It can also refactor giant Neocities/Blogger/Tumblr/SpaceHey-style CSS files back into readable modules that are easier to wrap your head around & edit.

Many sheets → one bundle

.......................or....................

One monolith → many sheets

Bababooey - A viral soundbite & nonsense word frequently used in shitposting & other social media posts as a comedic punchline or a silly way to censor whatnot, particularly explicit language.

Create beautiful images from your source code that you can easily share in social media.

I like this CodePNG idea. If improved, I think one could make cool dictionary entry designs where it's a simulated browsing of a dictionary website on the Gopher protocol, or like in a Lynx browser or something.

#Mendaciarium #CodePNG #Gopher Protocol #Lynx Browser

Luddites claim that AI-generated content, with its frequent hallucinations, will supplant all human-generated content (whether meaningful or not) & will start (pretty much exclusively) citing & sourcing itself,creating a recursive, ouroboric loop that amplifies its own errors eventually leaving the internet a complete mendaciarium. This assumes there's never a human-in-the-loop with critical thinking skills to edit the whatnot, though.

Aegyo-snare noun | plural: aegyo-snares

A mental or emotional trap created through deliberate cuteness; an act of aegyo used to ensnare someone’s attention, affection, or romantic interest.

It can also refer to a flirtatious or affectionate display of exaggerated adorableness that catches, entangles, or psychologically disarms the target.

Etymology: From aegyo, borrowed from Korean 애교 / 愛嬌 (aegyo), meaning “cuteness, charm, affectionate playfulness,” plus English snare, in the figurative sense of a mental, emotional, or psychological trap.

Pronunciation: Hangul transliteration: 에교-스네어 Revised Romanization: egyo-seuneeo IPA: /ˈe̞ɡjoʊˌsnɛər/

Examples: “Her round-eyed glance was not innocent; it was an aegyo-snare.”

“The tiny pout, the soft voice, and the ‘aing’ at the end formed a perfect aegyo-snare.”

“Catch my heart” functions as an aegyo-snare: a cute invitation, a call to action for her dream romantic partner, and a romantic challenge, so to speak.

Floor L-sit (noun) (calisthenics, bodyweight training) A calisthenics hold in which a person sits on the ground, places their hands beside their hips, and attempts to levitate their legs into a horizontal position.
