Meanwhile, the website for Heaven's Gate is still around in glorious 90's aesthetic

[Kagus]

We are Living in a Black Hole Yaweh


what

It's pretty hillarious when you consider that this is pretty much the modern equivalent of metaphysics and that shit is being taught as a serious thing to philosophy majors.

Actually no, that's more worrying than hillariou :V

Honestly, worrying about philosophy undergrads being taught about the various traditions in metaphysics is pretty laughable.

Oh the Hume-anity.

Oh wow. That... That was definitely a thing. I'd completely forgotten about that.

It says they already got on their spaceship, why did they leave this website? To mock us? I want to go to space.

[Gentlefish]

There's two survivors whose duty it was supposed to be to witness the event. Now they just warn people against cults.

[Dunamisdeos]

Wait hang on. That implies that the other people actually DID leave on a spaceship, and the two remaining are warning us against joining cults that won't take us with them on their rad spaceship.

That's a disappointingly conventional alien.

Missed your chance! Now you gotta wait until Hale-Bopp comes back in 4380. Or until the Earth is recycled, whichever comes first

What the actual fuck

Unless it's changed fairly recently, the USCIS -- the organization that handles that sort of thing -- is congressionally mandated to be entirely self-funded. Or to put it another way, their government's budget for them is $0.00 USD. If you're wondering what the fuck is going on, it's "The USA isn't paying anyone to process those applications."

In own wtf, was processing a book today, and the first page I open it to see is mostly occupied by a photo of a women with three nipples. Welp.

Francisca Scaramanga?

"You see, Mr. Bond, like every great artist, I want to create an indisputable masterpiece..."

[Frumple]

Hell if I know. It was a book on breast care (one of a passel of twenty+ year old medical books I pulled out of our closet to try to figure out why the hell they were sitting in the library's closet), and the page was something about... whatever medical condition leaves folks with extraneous nipples. I didn't pay much attention, honestly. The important parts for me outside a general condition check is at the front or back of the book.

Perhaps you had mistakenly watched Total Recall on VHS?
And hallucinated that it was a book?

[Frumple]

We've thrown out more or less all the VHS tapes so no, definitely not total recall.

[Yoink]

Thrown out?!

[Akura]

...At work we've actually got a copy of Total Recall on VHS for sale, among other movies.



Other than that, it's been a pretty shitty day. We had to put down one of the dogs, and it wasn't the one we were originally going to(he's next, though). We might also be losing the house that we were in the process of buying(already put over $50k down, already got the mortgage stuff read to go) because the owner is refusing to get the certificate of occupancy in order - apparently, the original was lost/destroyed, and according to my mom, getting a replacement runs the risk of the entire house being condemned/torn down if whatever agency handles the certificate deems that the house foundations are poor.

Thrown out?!

Most VHS tapes in existence are probably wearing out - the magnetic strips don't last forever. They don't make VHS players anymore, not even DVD/VHS combos, and even VHS->DVD/Digital converters are rare.

[pisskop]

Wait why would you want tape to be magnetic if its already adhesive?
