Pointing out that the Democrats are bad is not the same as saying ‘both sides are the same’. Sure, Biden is infinitely better than the alternative, but it would be really nice to have some actually good options instead of just lesser evil

And it’s driving our world economy into the ground.

There’s a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism… but if you make a generic “jews bad” comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus
TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant
This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…
A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’
Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)
A more educated populace benefits everyone.
Except Republicans. They “love the poorly educated”
The movies did a great job at presenting thanos as an extremist that sincerely wants the greater good by questionable means, but it falls apart because his grand plan is just so stupid. The only way to reconcile the sympathetic character with the dumb plan is to point out he’s “THANOS THE MAD TITAN”, not “THANOS THE TITAN THAT FULLY CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS”
Would have been much better if they just kept his original motivation from the comics: Death is a hot lady and horny thanos does the snap as a gift to her
That’s assuming you’ll meet literally every person on earth
Let’s say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10
If you’re not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they’re single and in the right age range
So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch
Real life the board game©
I was disgusted by the XML at first, but it’s a readable query returning a sane JSON object.
Meanwhile, I’m mantaining Java code where the SQL is a perfectly square wall of text, and some insane mofo decided the way to read the resulting list of Object[] 🤮 is getting each column by index… so I’d switch to SQXMLL in a heartbeat.
I used to get myself into traps like that a lot, “I need to get that impossible achievement”, “I need to play only at the highest difficulty”, “I need to get 200% completion”.
At the end of the day video games are just toys, play them as you like and if you’re not enjoying it just do something else instead. After I realized that games are fun again.
This ghost achievement in particular is a very hard challenge run, the kind of thing you go for after you finished the game and want more with an extra twist, trying to force it on your first time playing is guaranteed to be frustrating
It’s a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.
Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.
The usual MO of buying the competitors isn’t posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish
Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we’ll be right back at the corporate social media we’re trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it’s profitable
Did anyone here read the article?
He’s not saying “those lazy peasants should know their only purpose is to make me richer and be happy about it”, he’s saying “obviously nobody will be motivated by making some rich jerks richer while getting paid peanuts”.
Unfortunately in the second half he goes into out of touch CEO mode, but the quote on the ragebait title is actually very reasonable
That’s the point of step 2: inspect ass
If you find or smell poopoo obviously don’t proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you’re into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)
trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc).
It’s very optimistic of you to assume the damage is already done when he’s literally promising to replace the entire government with loyalists and weaponize the judiciary system against all the “vermin” as soon as he’s reelected.
Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe
Except by then there won’t be any more elections
Again
Yes I know that both options are terrible and the system is fucking garbage, but if you refuse to vote for the lesser evil you’re not taking some moral high road, you’re just enabling the worst evil
Refusing to make a choice is still a choice.
The only options are: status quo that doesn’t do the bare minimum against genocide, or an actual fascist who is literally promising to do more genocide.

Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant
First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult
And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she’s a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she’s a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to “everyone I don’t like is all the same” that’s fine with me)
