The universe started out good, and then it took billions of years for large enough stars to form that their collapse could create supernovae capable of reaching the energies needed to synthesize evil particles.
I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

Is there a word for the system of government where a country is ruled by American oil companies? … oh yeah, that’s it, “colonialism.” Well, maybe it will work out better this time, with such enlightened and competent American leadership to organize it.


What’s a media zombie? Someone who watches 7 hours of tiktok every day?


Good luck with your transition from porn bot to outrage bot.


It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?


So, higher oil prices then. Perhaps it will also make Mark Carney pause for a moment and try to get a little more in return before he inevitably gives in to US demands to buy their fighter jets.


I’m not a very good swimmer… which one looks more buoyant?


Doug Ford says it will “boost the economy.” More commuting = more gasoline sales = more economy, I guess.

“It’s hard to see as an economist how taking money away from the big grocers will then also lead to lower prices.”
Is it really, though? Finding some way to re-introduce to this market what we used to know as “competition” — which was once much beloved of economists — would do exactly that. But I guess that idea is too far-fetched to even come into the discussion. I only wonder how far this code of conduct goes in the opposite direction. The ruling cartel will continue to have its way.


Go game devs were super lazy, couldn’t even design interesting shapes for the pieces.


GNU Taler is based in Europe, I believe. But seeing as it’s free software there’s no reason not to use it in Canada.
I hear that boomer + trans can be tricky.


Hmm, tough call. Generally speaking I guess I’d prefer freedom over eternally paying rent to the tech oligarchs but then I’d miss out on the benefits of Microsoft’s latest adjustments to the Windows 11 start menu.


I am insufficiently versed in Star Trek to know whether there’s a known reason why that isn’t true at warp speed.


That was a lot of reading to learn that the two things were:
He had some kind of problem with the laptop Wi-Fi driver on his new install of Ubuntu, and — pressed for time, away from home — decided that the best way to fix it was to reinstall Windows.
He’s unwilling to give up games whose devs have chosen to make them impossible to play on Linux. It’s not clear which one he’s hooked on, but Apex Legends, to Fortnite and Valorant are mentioned.

All it will do is make Microsoft even more desperate to push all their remaining customers into using cloud services and paying monthly subscription fees for everything, because even the customers they care about (not you, maybe the corporation you work for) won’t be buying new PCs for a while.
What if we just vote on individual words, and then show them all in order of popularity?
