Like how “settling the west” is somehow romanticized in US’s shool system. Barf.


This is one of the less click-baity titles I’ve seen in a while. What are you talking about?


Personally know one of those racist homophobes that wants to get railed by a black dude, so…yeah.


You’re literally being pedantic. You do know this, don’t you?


Disappointing, but unfortunately not unexpected either. Minnesota already is one of the states that age-gates porn sites.


You fucking wish, loser


Your defense is a YouTube link? Fucking seriously??
Shut up


They’ve been stupid for a long time, actually. It’s been ages since it started costing more than a penny per coin to mint them…


I’m afraid the rot has spread much farther than that. Yes, without a violent upheaval of some sort, the U.S. is fucked but the problem had long since broken containment…
In the Borderlands in-game universe, there’s references to historical “corporate wars”, when the corporations seized political power and promptly began to duke it out to see who was going to be on top of the pile. At least that’s how I imagine it in my head. But fuck if it doesn’t look like that’s the most likely future coming our way.


This kind of maneuvering is exactly what the elected officials spend all their time doing, and no they don’t spend any time actually writing laws. Laws are written by corporations and sold to the politicians who are just playing a dumb fucking popularity game.


I just translate AI to Anti-Intelligence. 😎


I doubt it. There’s a lot of money in surveillance capitalism and I don’t buy for a minute that Apple are too good to do that or any stupid excuses.
Okay that gave me a good chuckle. But really with FOSS software it’s important to be aware of biases the developers might have. Sure if it’s an open source project, in theory I can audit the code but realistically not so much. If the lead developer is a known bad actor, then there’s reason to be paranoid about vulnerabilities or backdoors being injected into the codebase.


Oh, for sure. The evolution of languages is fascinating, even if the end result is frustrating. It does seem ironic, though, that a language that evolved to help the largest number of people be able to communicate results in such easy miscommunication on a personal level.


Lol
OK, I think I see what you mean. Leaving my outburst for continuity of the conversation, though.
On a totally unrelated note, I kind of hate the English language sometimes…


What fucking negotiating position?! If you think throwing tantrums on Twitter is a negotiating position, then you’re a fucking moron.
