[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

I just read somebody either deliberately or ignorantly conflating falsifiability with having been falsified. In other words, "I can think of dozens of ways Theory X could be disproven" was taken to mean "Theory X has been disproven." (Details deliberately withheld because I've realized that tempting flamethreads is not a good idea.)

Oh! I finally recognize your avatar!

Except the bike is made from the tears of tortured orphans and unspoken shame.

... I think.

How does that even work?

Now I really hope this person had a falsificationist criteria of meaning, like Popper. Then all meaningful propositions would be false.

Lots of glue. So, so much glue. You have no idea how hard it is to make a bike out of orphan tears, now imagine having to infuse it with the shame of future riders. It's bad for business, and Forumites keep insisting that they be allowed to use the leftover glue as lube. I don't have the heart to tell them how badly something like that might end.

Tldr, fucked up things happen with sleep deprivation. I keep on trying to make bikes out of solid shame.

I usually have negative things to say about youtube and its recommendation algorithms, but this time it's hit a win.  On many levels.  Even if I don't quite agree with the political viewpoints involved.

It's nine degrees but it feels colder. Hurry up and start properly, Spring!
I'm supposed to be heading out into the cold to go visit friends shortly. Yikes.

So, this is a perfect time for that new Religious Freedom task force to kick in, right?

...right?

[scriver]

It would be.

Also I am struck by an overwhelming urge to go to Oregon and ask this man what his favourite plants are.

"Rye an' cole, man"

And then we would be bff forevers and ride into the sunset on motorcycle unicorns

So... Unicycles?

tandem unicycles

And for today's proper WTF, those are apparently a real thing.

It's also the name of a band, so there's that too.

When you think there's no such thing as the perfect date, and then...

HEY. If anyone gets to go on a tandem unimotorcycle date in the Bavarian mountains with this guy, it's me. We'd probably get along; we have so much in common.
