Jerkface (any/all)

okay but those are all still toys. is it used for anything practical?

It’s not an order, it’s profoundly obvious advice. Maybe it doesn’t happen in your circle as its quite rare, but I have seen a person learn something before.

Not any plastic. For example, much of the ethylene used to make PE is a common byproduct of natural gas production, that occurs in such quantity that producers almost have to pay to have it taken away.

We only have one house rule: anyone who suggests Uno gets beaten.

just use awk

Threatening to MURDER a stranger you don’t even know the fucking NAME of because they are messing with your COD or whatever is peak toddler temper tantrum energy. If you don’t like it, FUCKING STOP SHOVING CAPITAL LEVERAGE DOWN YOUR OWN THROAT. Seriously. Don’t pretend like this is some kind of big moral or ethical thing with the flesh of vulnerable individuals still stuck between your teeth. This is childish and self-centered, not principled.

THIS is why you need more irl time

I bet NOW people are gonna care about that. After a lifetime of Facebook/Linkd-In etc, Foursquare/Strava/etc, unencrypted email, plaintext passwords, actual decades of never once creating a GPG key, using public WIFI, sticking passwords to monitors, and using “password” as a password, this is gonna be the straw that breaks the camel’s back…

Privacy is DEAD. Just wait until every camera in public is also generating a constant stream of AI observations.

I don’t even care about privacy (per se) anymore, I want just non-commercial spaces. You can see my ass if you want, I will gladly trade privacy for expression in a place I’m not being exploited by capital.

I watch movies every week and I haven’t seen any of those movies. Your basic-ass experiences are not universal.

i’m not saying this isn’t BAD but honestly it’s hard to care that much because the internet i care about is already dead, anyway. we need to build our own mesh network

Vystopia is a daily struggle.

I find it very difficult to cope with the constant needless cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals practiced gleefully by every carnist around me.

I get it, you’re not vegan, why do you have to bring it up ten times a day

you can’t see past your own ego

It turns out that we were the velociraptors all along.

Isn’t that a water buffalo? Not the same animal as the American Bison (commonly known as the American Buffalo.) I think once they have a 200 year old city named for them, you just have to accept that that’s what they’re called.

Presumably not coming to Ontario…

It’s not implemented very well and it essentially punishes you for blocking people and distorts your view of things that don’t necessarily even have to do with that person. The feature barely checks the box and isn’t good enough if its actually important. But of course no one should be doing important things here.

for me the bogus rationalizations took it from something I could cope with to something that actively irritates me. maybe that’s part of the art.
