Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this YOSPOS.

You know, if I was a big bird, I'd fly around in the sky and stuff, and then, like, fly over people and poop on their lunch. I'd be like "Nyaaaaaaaaanyaaaaa-poop!-nyaaaaaaaanyaaaaa-poop!" Yeah, that would rule. Actually, y'know I probably could do that without being a bird. It's like, I could go into the cafeteria, and just like stand up on the table, y'know, and pull down my pants and like, go around while people are eating their lunch and just go "Poop!" And run over there and go "Poop!" A little "Poop!" over there. It's chicken-fried steak! Poop!

I legit wish I was an eagle. No more computers, no more cell phones, just my waxy feathers glistening in the light of dawn... The tiny mice below fearful of my coming; the bird-nerds watching through foggy binoculars, taking in every facet of the majesty of my being.

bald eagles are loving disgusting carrion eaters that swarm with disease and steal kills from other, better hunters

so pretty much a perfect national symbol for the united states then

also i hear the words fly like an eagle and i think of this song:

got an idea for a Kickstarter. an automatic laptop opener/closer. the clamps damage your monitor, it doesn't close all the way, the turning l bit strips easily, and we disappear after the first run of production. i reckon we could get at least 2.4 m

an arduino powered cd rack that is voice activated to give you whatever cd you name. the mic is really poor so you have to shout several times before it even picks you up and if you fill it more than halfway it won't turn. if we hit our stretch goal of 3.5 m we will even write the drivers for it.

how about a version of that but the music is not on the cd's at all, there's just stickers on the cd's with qr codes that are read by a phone that sits in a dock nearby. the qr code opens the spotify page for that album or whatever. i don't know how spotify works.

Is the MacDock compatible with Thunderbolt?.

No, at least not yet. Thunderbolt technology is in very early stages and it is very expensive to get a licence for it. Instead we have decided to transfer USB 3.0 as it has a comparable data transmission speed and it’s more widely used.

so at least theyre being realistic

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
so are there any woo-woo bullshit kickstarter kind of projects? new agey incense-and-crystals kind of stuff? because boy, could that be lucrative if you know the market

my mother-in-law is one of those brazilian witch-wannabes, so my wife knows about all of this stupid poo poo, and i've studied enough eastern religion stuff to be able to fake the guru thing effectively, so we were thinking about actually starting a business selling worthless "magic" crap to gullible idiots

"these hand-crafted i-ching coins have been guaranteed through extensive testing to be free of elemental affinities or biases, making them extra reliable for three-coin divination techniques"

these would of course be the ones bought wholesale in lots of 500 for $20, the "extensive testing" would involve a cursory visual inspection to make sure none of them are on fire

i just need some kind of way to kickstarter-ize this, after i figure out how to turn my ethics off to let me do this in the first place
