Fair enough. I thought it was decent, but you could tell it wasn't written by Adams.

To be fair, it's difficult to come up with something funny that wasn't a Far Side comic.

Nobody, and I won't work somewhere that puts up with that shit.

I've had bad bosses and coworkers before. When I was young and easily replaceable I put up with it until I realized that the jobs were just as replaceable as I was. "Oh hey, I can make the same money almost anywhere, so why deal with these assholes?"

Now I'm specialized in a high demand field. Corporate plays stupid games among the executives but they know better than to mess with us - you can find an MBA under any rock but people with my skill set are the core of the business and we're hard to find. My team is professional and helps each other out. Any of us could quit and likely get better pay elsewhere, so we make sure to weed out the troublemakers.

Not great. It's good for looking at memes while I'm out on a smoke break, but it doesn't really have communities I care about.

Most of the subreddits I followed were small technical ones. Lemmy doesn't have the user base to support those.

Also, apparently tankies and commies are just as annoying (if not more so) than the edgy little nazi wannabes on reddit were. Who knew?

There's another HHGTtG book by Eoin Colfer (with permission from Adams' widow) called "And Another Thing." In case you want to complete the collection.

Very true.

The Académie Française shows up and threatens your family.

When Spock fails to get laid because he's a half-breed.

Freight makes more money than smuggling runaway slaves. Same reason there's hardly any passenger service outside the Washington-Boston corridor.

The trees aren't a big deal, really. Most paper comes from farmed trees. It's the chemicals they treat the wood with to break it down into pulp that's the real problem.

Thank you for your contribution to human knowledge.

I'm struggling to think of any situation where a 2yo would come in contact with a hippopotamus that doesn't involve criminal levels of negligence.
