@Dtl @JennyList @trans_rescue oooooh, a magic-smoke emitting one. like it!
maybe random value, but black stuffing crochet-hooked out in places for the smoke
@jamesoff reads an email, smashes the phone on the floor.
ding noise from his pocket.
pulls out phone, reads another email, smashes the phone on the floor.
@Dtl @JennyList @trans_rescue this, but probably an implausably high value.

@JennyList @spv @trans_rescue I see your ThinkPad remote keyboard and raise you a "stolen/repurposed kvm keyboard from a rack being decommed" ;)

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.
Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.
Specialises in debugging.

The new Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, is going to commute to the office 3 days a week by private jet.
Don't forget to take your reusable cup to the coffee shop!

For those who did not receive the last memo:
THE VOID is for screaming.
THE ABYSS is for staring.
Please do not scream into THE ABYSS. And under no circumstances should you ever stare into THE VOID.
That is all.

@MattMerk I have to admit it's a new word to me, but the concept made sense enough to be able to google-fu through it :)
My reading is more consume-consume-consume and analysing the contents rather than analyse the writer's methodology and structuring

I need help with an English word. A story told as a series of individual points of view, like Akira Kurosawa’s, Ran. Or in some wasys the book Dracula, but Dracula is just epistolary. There’s a literary term for this, right?
[edit] Not Ran (which is also a great film) RASHOMON! I composed this post after a long week of 12+ hour days on a tight deadline. I’m mortified! 😂
So no, the term I am looking for is not the Rashomon effect. I think I want there to be a term for this. Maybe I’m delirious.
@MattMerk multiperspectivity?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiperspectivity
maybe multivocal narration if different characters present their own perspectives?

I mean in some ways being up there is safer than the ground, where Boeing assassins live.

It surely can't be a coincidence that Alexander the Great and Kermit the Frog share the same middle name.
@fesshole especially if you do it the Joaquin Phoenix way in Gladiator.

Friend: What do you play games on?
Me: I play games on a switch!
