Guess Timbuk 3 is in for a helluva surprise.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Ellison is too smart to let that slip. Must’ve been Donald… …yeah, that one!
Finally - a tangible altcoin!
You mean it gets even more dim? I dunno how much more dim I can take.
Once the shit finally hits the fan, my machines will all get maxed out for the price of just one module today.
So, crates.
Challenge accepted (for lack of any other choice).

Integrated paddle, trak-ball and keypad.
Still on the fence due to other compromises they made in the hardware. I’d also really love if I could install other emulators such as something for Amiga & C64.

Sorry, I feel the opposite. With each day bringing ever more absurd crap & destruction from this admin, waiting for the time for this all to be over with has slowed down and stretched out (like a horror movie hallway) to the point of feeling like this shit will never end.
The only way to make that graph make sense to me is if you added a toilet to the bottom.
The welcoming instruction “start boinging” was unclear, and now I fear I may be on the hook for child support…
I think we’ve found the next Godzilla enemy.
I’d have to get some liquid courage before I could get that into character.
Courage… to go without pants like Winnie?
Or my personal favorite, W2K?
Dunno 'bout you guys, but DJ Sex doesn’t charge - it depletes.

I’m glad you still manage have a more positive outlook on the future than I do.
Yes, my perspective is definitely colored by my experience in America, but if you think similar won’t happen elsewhere then I think you’re being overly idealistic - at least when it comes to the full population of the world. Those who enable the powerfully wealthy will certainly do better - at least until those who don’t are no longer much of a threat, and said wealthy no longer need their enablers.

Did you not notice the community you were in? I wasn’t serious, but you are - whether it’s due to hypertension, or an insecurity-driven need to overcompensate by showing off your “superior” knowledge is something I DGAF about.
Go take some Tylenol PM with some herbal tea, get some decent sleep, and remember to unbind your twisted panties.
Good night.
