not as good as it used to be, still the best news sub on that shit site.

And notice how all the screeching about genocide has gone silent? Proves that they never actually cared.

no, “didn’t vote” won the popular vote.

rules don’t matter if no one enforces them. republicans have been consolidating power for decades, partly by never holding their own accountable. dems are always held accountable, but usually for things that either don’t matter or are entirely false.

Trump isn’t held accountable because his supporters control every institution that can, and they want him to be king of america.

a third of us chose this, while half of us couldn’t be bothered to give a shit.

sanity is an oppressed minority in the us, and it’s worse than I ever could have thought.

i use obsidian notes and keep the files in a Dropbox folder that automatically syncs between my several devices. I use github pages to make it publicly visible. Since it’s on github, I’ve got all the benefits of version control and edit tracking. Also, other authors can use whatever markdown editor they want so long as they don’t break link formatting.

thanks, i hate it

Restaurants have kitchen staff. Retail has merchandisers and night crew. I’m sure I can come up with more if I put any effort into it whatsoever. I’m not saying that customer facing jobs aren’t the majority of entry level positions, but they’re far from all of them.

No grandpa fortran, everybody loves you. Now let’s get you back inside with cobol.

on the one hand, victim blaming is bad, and we shouldn’t do that. On the other hand, there isn’t a shortage of bullshit dead end jobs that don’t require previous experience, so you can absolutely get a job that is more or less customer facing if need be.

anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.

windows xp truly was peak windows.

(everyone should switch to linux, btw)

Wut? Are you serious? You’re just going to boil down an entire artform to that? That’s an unbelievably reductive opinion.

This statement can also accurately describe those who say ai art isn’t art.

no, you’re not allowed to like the old one anymore. You must buy the new one. No questions, only buy.

You won’t buy the new one if you’re still playing the old one.

i’ve heard that quote attributed to socrates. you tellin me he ripped off another motherfucker?

Order of operations is important. Yes, if we got rid of all the guns then gun violence would stop being a problem. There’s a whole discussion that could be had about sensible gun regulations that is beyond the scope of this comment. Reform on the matter is necessary.

However, that ‘order of operations’ thing I mentioned: I’ll give up my guns when the fascists give up theirs, and not a day earlier.

I’ll never have kids.

My niece though will have a thorough education on sailing the high seas when she’s old enough to choose media on her own.

seems I’m too boomer for this shit, apparently phones count as “personal computers”.

look at this graph and tell me that mac os is “dominant”.

(the numbers for those who don’t want to click the link)

Android = 43.86%

Windows = 27.97%

iOS = 17.8%

OS X = 5.64% (when did they stop calling it mac os?)

unknown = 1.96%

Linux = 1.44% (we’re still last place guys!)

In order for a 3rd option to be viable, the entire system must change. I’m not holding my breath.

Between now and then, all we can do is vote for the less bad of two evils.

solved for quite some time. it gets mixed with concrete and stuck in a bigger concrete container called a “dry cask”.

Link, because I believe in “outsourcing critical thinking”.
