"The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate any thing. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It [cannot] anticipat[e] any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with."

— Ada Lovelace, 1843

[Monhun fan comic] True Identity

I find it funny that sword and shield is also actually a dual wielding weapon, but instead of wielding dual blades, you wield a sword and a shield that you beat the heck out of monsters using blunt force trauma. Especially in MHrise, with the counter move (metsu) the shield can knock out a monster SO fast.

This may shock some folks, but it is OK to simultaneously say that Khomeini had it coming and is a piece of shit who deserved what he got, and to say that a US president shouldn’t be assassinating foreign leaders without authorization from Congress. We can do that. We can have complex discussions. It is possible.

Edit ** as many have pointed out, the guy I was posting about here is Khameini (perils of late night posting). Khomeini died of cardiovascular disease in 1989.

Let's become ungovernable. Simply type the emoji in text.
While you're at it, include emoji that do not exist.

We really can do anything

My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'
