As with most bleeding edge technology, all the danger comes from capitalism, and not the technology itself.

I hate crowd work. Getting called on while on a night out is my worst nightmare

I write a lot of fantasy, and that definitely affects my practical vocabulary. I don’t think the specificity is needless though, especially in English, this Frankenstein of cognates and loaner words. You have so many options because the human experience is so diverse and multifaceted. Clarity helps, and it makes language more beautiful, something we should all strive for

“Double indemnity!”

I don’t think Trump and his ilk are known for being attractive

I cannot wait for Walz vs. Vance. Vance seems like what these people are, distilled. It’ll be poetic to watch him get torn apart by a teacher

Do you see people with the Unsalted decals as well? There are a ton of those here in Michigan, with the same font, and I’ve seen them in surrounding states as well. Maybe the areas on the border should get Brackish stickers lol

It really feels like we’re peasants, gathered by the fire, gossiping fearfully about the prospect of a succession war

hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

There’s a lot of science fiction where the rules of the world are defined by the author. I think the difference is that the foundation of science fiction is on what the world is, both literally, and metaphorically, while the foundation of fantasy lies upon what the world could be, hence the name fantasy

This will start to protect some people, and bring awareness to the issue, allowing for further regulation in the future, once public demand for it has increased

That’s one of my favorite traits in my partner. She’s great at keeping the conversation going, which is important, because I’m terrible at it lol

When we get high together, there’s usually about an hour period, that I call her Wikipedia time, where she finds a random topic, and has to talk about it at length

Lansing MI has one

In recent years, rightsholders have made several attempts to shut the site down. Court orders have led to LibGen being blocked in several countries, but completely eliminating the threat has been extremely difficult. This is partly because the identities of those running it remains unknown.

In 2017, Elsevier won a court case against LibGen and Sci-Hub in a New York federal court, which awarded the publisher $15 million in damages. However, both shadow libraries remained online and continue to operate to this day.

The lawsuit was stalled for months because LibGen’s anonymous operators didn’t respond. With no other viable options left, the publishers filed a motion for a default judgment in their favor.

Keep it up, LibGen

He literally ran for president, and won. He’s not what the electorate wants moving forward, but that doesn’t make him incapable. He’s a career politician with decades of experience

Voyager season 4 episode 17, Retrospect. Not a favorite.

This seems to debunk the claim that the US supports Israel so strongly because it’s strategically important. They’re actively dragging us into conflict

If they can, I’m going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB

Don’t worry, I’m sure she’s just remembering incorrectly again

It was immediately followed by, “…but if you donate just $5 by our deadline today at 3pm, you’ll be added to our list of Premium Gold tier Platinum Donors, and Trump promises he’ll say thank you.”
