I can’t believe I’m such a slave to marketing that I’m stressed I don’t have time to read about a new camera in a mount I don’t own and with a price I cannot afford (Fuji GFX100 @ $10K)

Sometimes the best thing to do in a debate is to just walk away (after RES-tagging your opponent with “kind of a dick”)

Depressing to see Quora results being first in Google searches, above Wikipedia

Slovenia’s entry sounds like something from my more obscure Spotify lists

I can’t believe Eurovision/EBU has their own damn country codes, adding to the ones from ISO and FIFA

It’s strange how the people who are very worried about foreign men molesting Swedish women seem to have a blind spot for Julian Assange. I wonder what makes him different?
