    Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

    Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.

      Prometheus.

      The Romans/Greek gods were as shitty as gods usually are. Sisyphus wasn’t so much punished for his crimes as he was for being a smartass to the gods. Sisyphus literally stopped everyone on Earth from dying, and because Ares the God of War complained that wars were no longer fun because no one died, it was undone. The claim that Sysiphus suffered his punishment because of how he toyed with people’s lives is gaslighting, the gods did that all the time. Sysiphus’ biggest crime was not being another god.

      We do not share his punishment thankfully because gods are fiction. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of Sysiphuses or enemies of Sysiphuses with the same or more power that would either act the same or worse.

    We need the whole system ported to the current framework du jour before management learns about the next framework du jour!

      At my job I once spend time organizing a shelf then put everything back into the box it came in. For a whole month. Made me reflect on my upbringing on how efficient capitalism is.

        Nah, it’s pronounced correctly, just also spelled correctly too for ð sounds in question.

          So why only the thorns? Why none of the other typological changes in English? Like the great vowel shift and such? Written language is an imperfect tool to represent spoken language, which is an imperfect tool to represent free human thought. Where in this bastardization of a bastardization we call language do you draw your arbitrary line?

            Because if I went as far as I actually wished, I would hear no end of it from the sudden conference of armchair linguists explaining why me typing how I want is wrong and I should stop everyþing and go back to “normal” writing because any alternative deeply offends ðem for not catering enough to ðeir expectation of passivity.

              Talk how you want. The only issue I see is that others won’t understand you, but you’re not hurting anyone doing so. Just don’t get upset when others can’t understand you.

                Well see ðat’s ð þing, I only get mad at people who see my writing and lash out at me first. I do usually end up blocking ðem after I say my peace.
