A moratorium on the use of the phrase "people think x" without explaining who people are--eg, saying "more people don't believe in climate change" rather than "people recently endowed with massive power and a monopoly on violence don't believe in climate change"
@ajroach42 Maybe some Lalo Schifrin movie soundtracks? Bullitt comes to mind.
I teach tech and I'm often asked why I don't teach some allegedly time-saving proprietary tool/environment/whatever. the answer is that the risk of that proprietary tool just ceasing to exist are really high, and when that happens, the time I spend developing curricula against the tool goes up in smoke. by contrast, notes I wrote for, e.g., python text processing are just as good today as they were ten years ago. over the long run, I think I save a lot of time by teaching only open source tools.

@FilthyLiar @Elizafox In my travels, I have been to the land of Kirks just outside the lands of Chief Seattle. The warehouse is quite large.
@Elizafox @FilthyLiar It's bad enough that you're in Oklahoma. I hope the vodka arrives even sooner for your troubles.
@FilthyLiar @Elizafox It's like how Costco Vodka is default Vodka.

@Elizafox I, too, am a Pope.
@emdeesee Yeah, I'm with you. I recall many bulletin boards dealing with this in my youth.
Twitter and FB timelines seem like far more of a captive audience, since everyone is sort of screaming into the same chamber at that point.
We're all like Lenny Bruce, except without the actual threat of being arrested for obscenity.
So I guess we're really not like him at all.
Before the introduction of the Facebook news feed and the short-lived Twitter public timeline, I don't recall anyone ever insisting on their right to everyone else's attention span when it came to their shitty opinions.
It's already bad enough that people willingly read mine.
An alternate timeline where the elder statesdogs of progrock convinced the acid jazz kids to join in and started forming supermegagroups that lasted for hundreds of years like dynastic artists' colonies, sometimes spending decades perfecting the emotional pull of a single fifteen-minute groove.
Lady just walked by my house and told her dog "that's not the right place" so naturally I'm imagining she has a nemesis in the neighborhood and makes her dog poop specifically there.
