This is probably the best AskReddit thread I've read in a long time.
The Bane one had me in tears.

I guess spending a few hours watching bad porn isn't wasting time.

Yeah, I didn't pick that up the first time I read it, I admit. I was too caught up in the lulz of the whole crying over the IQ test shit.

Technically this is game-related, but it's also a random link. So deal with it.

Not a link per se but something I ran across Reddit while looking for humanity's redeeming values.
"and then we built robots?
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello."

@arkandel That just kinda gave me the d'awws because I'm playing a robot at the moment, and that is like... absolutely her brain. D'aww.

Reminds me of Nier: Automata, of worlds without humans or other post-human explorations.
They are always maudlin to me.
We need to get off this rock.

This probably belongs in the Readers category but screw it.

I can assure you that I have nothing in common with Mike Pompeo.
For one thing, I don't ignore major oversights in my work, like domestic terrorists.

@testament I mean. This is a head of department setting out style guidelines for his department. That's not even remotely newsworthy.
