It zooms in when I click on it. Are you on mobile?

Let’s try that defense for public nudity. People can just choose to not look at it if they don’t like it!

There’s something seriously wrong with our communication infrastructure if some rich nutjob can just buy up an important piece of it and run it into the ground like this. This could’ve never happened if Twitter were a worker-owned collective. Chalk another one up for capitalism.

How can they do that if they don’t have enough money

I liked it at first, but then I ran into some really weird shit. Re-installing didn’t erase the previous install, programs I installed disappeared after reboot, etc. This might be caused by the jankiness of UEFI, I don’t know. I’m never buying another HP laptop after they pulled this shit with UEFI. It’s given me so many headaches.

“This was made by AI” is the new “This is fake; I can tell by the pixels”.

“Be patient. It’s compiling.”

“Well, when can I use my computer?”

“…Tomorrow.”

I think the employees that are anti-Sam are the ones this letter is addressed to.

I wish I could block Elon Musk from reality.

I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years, and AFAIK in all that time I’ve never encountered a Linux virus. OTOH when I run Windows, I hit a virus within the first six months.

Yes, because “security through obscurity is not security”.

Eh, it’s true that this isn’t a real pig. It still brings up the very real horrors and suffering that humans have put pigs through (and still put them through to this day).

So, it still hits different, based upon our history, in a way that a “dying dinosaur” wouldn’t. It’s similar to how a racist joke against African-Americans hits different to a racist joke against Italian-Americans. The context is important.

Yarr, 'tis be true, matey.

When I read Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature, one of the parts that stuck out for me the most was how people used to burn cats alive for fun. This wasn’t just entertainment for the lower classes, either. Even nobility and the wealthy enjoyed a good cat-burning from time to time.

Yeah, it’s like the whole “tomatoes are actually a fruit” thing. So are zucchinis and eggplants, but nobody ever brings that up. It’s always tomatoes.

There’s a botanical definition and a culinary definition. So, that doesn’t mean that somebody who calls a tomato a vegetable is wrong. And don’t put any tomatoes in my fruit salad!

Same with complete episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head.

If you read the article, it’s actually about the Green New Deal, which was the same issue she ran on in 2012 and 2016. You know, climate change. That issue that the Republicans don’t think is real and the Democrats don’t take seriously.

Nobody bashes Hillary for being a photo where she shook Putin’s hand. Jill was simply at a table where Putin dropped in, said some stuff in Russian, and then left. She didn’t even speak to him.

That description could fit any political party. They all believe that their policies are “evidence based” and they’re fighting for fairness and justice, and that “government should fundamentally be allowed to do the work of governance”. The disagreements are over what qualifies as evidence, what fairness and justice is, and what “the work of governance” should be. For example, Republicans think that the role of government should be much smaller than the Green Party does.

How do you mix up “ah” and “awe”?!
