#Vonnegut #Playboy #humor

An excerpt from a Playboy magazine interview with Kurt Vonnegut.

Playboy: In some of your books - especially The Sirens of Titan and Slaughterhouse Five - there's a serious notion that all moments in time exist simultaneously, which implies that the future can't be changed by an act of will in the present. How does a desire to improve things fit with that?

Vonnegut: You understand, of course, that everything I say is horse shit.

Playboy: Of course.

If the websites seem to be responding faster today, it's because they have less traffic going to them and you have Ukraine to thank for it.

Republicans like to point at Democrats and say "so and so is for they/them" as if that were an insult. Once, just once, i'd like for a Democrat to respond with something like: Am i for "them"? You bet your ass I am! Non-binary people? I'm for them. Trans people? I'm for them. Gay, lesbian, and […]

Though of course, if the general understanding of "sapient" is in flux, so too can the understand of "sentient" be in flux. As with sapient, when i looked up the definition of sentient i found it defined mostly […]

That's generally been my understanding of the word sapient too, but since i was about to ask about the specific meaning i went out to wordnik.com to double check on things because that site lists the […]

How are you using these words? Because they mean different things.

Sentient can mean "having sense perception" which would apply to literally every animal and plants too, or it can mean being "conscious or […]

Took photos of geese in the park today. Here's my favorite shot

So last night a friend of mine said that she and a different friend talk on the phone every day. Literally every day. This blew my mind, because i've always felt that if i talked to someone even once a week i was being rude and pushy and needy. i wish i was normal.

i woke up this morning at 4:30am to use the bathroom and could not get back to sleep afterwards. As i lay in bed in the pre-dawn dark my mind went down strange pathways and i found myself having a revelation: there is an unmet need in the world for a program that can sort files - at the bit […]

Long after? In your post you said KDE started in 1996 and then also said Windows 95 was using Ctrl-Alt-Del in the new way. That's a year before KDE started. By the way, I was already writing my first software before Windows 1.0 existed, so I do know this history.

Also, i have been […]

Only barely literal decades. Only about 15 years, and it was changed in the early 90's starting with Windows NT and then later with Windows 95. The modern usage of it was established well before the KDE project was even started.

I am older that DOS and I well remember using the three finger salute, and it was for rebooting, not shutting down. Window NT was the first version of Windows to change it's meaning, but that was in the early 90s about 35 years ago, so honestly the reboot usage is long forgotten, and […]

On my Windows 11 laptop for work, i can lock the screen by using Ctrl-Alt-Del then hitting Enter, because Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up a small menu and the lock screen option is selected by default. This has become muscle memory. On my Kubuntu laptop at home, i can lock the screen by typing Alt-L […]
