Pure psychic automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

Just embrace it and let it wash over you. Eventually it will change you enough that you’ll come to understand instinctively

It was mentioned in another comment, but this is a Lenna reference.

I was more used to seeing Clarus the dogcow, so I forgot about Lenna

I can't say enough how much I love this art style and how oddly it brings me feelings of nostalgia that I cannot explain.

Edit: also, I'm getting a bit of Blade Runner or Cyberpunk vibes from this.

"Goodbye Lenin" vibes but the roles are reversed.

Free as in freedom, not free as in free beer

I have a bunch of quips running around in my brain:

  • A robot ASSassin.
  • Wait until the Mossad gets a hold of this doll.
  • Also, being the token Zionist, I would like to detonate her beeper!

By the way, did you know that your cars now, or in the near future, have a remote killswitch?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago
  • ASS is short for: Analognowhere Serialized Special
  • Mossad doesn't exist anymore, it was assimilated after the World-Corp-War into MATA_Intelligence_Agency
  • The only religion that is sanctioned by the Gov-Corp is the worship of the Eternal Free Market.

Kill your car.
