The Quuuuuill

Google doesn’t give a shit if you live or die, so long as their corporate partners at Shell Oil and Sheets checks clear

Personally I been using organic maps because Osmand isn’t giving me better directions and it needs more permissions and it doesn’t have working voice directions

Sure. And I voted for warren. My point isn’t “The DNC needs to get their heads out of their asses and make Bernie their nominee” my point is “The DNC needs to get their heads our of their asses and realize their current overall strategy is a losing one”

Then what the fuck is a primary and how do they decide to back in a primary and what the fuck is a super delegate?

Still. The DNC has systems in place to decide who to back in elections to pass legislation. Their messaging since 2015 has been embarrassing. They keep courting moderate conservatives that don’t exist and ignoring unrepresented potential voters who do. They talk about how they win elections when there’s good turn out without ever analyzing which candidates encourage high turnout. Americans want to feel represented in politics and we don’t. The Democrats need to do something that would weaken the democrat party but would weaken the Republican party more: they need to actively begin dismantling the two party system. We want election reform. We want the police to not be a hostile force against the general populace. We want the society we live in to benefit everyone and not just the kinds of people who can afford to finance an election campaign.

The polling exists. We all know that neither party represents or enacts what the people want do. The Democrats refuse to look around and see what’s happening, preferring to rearrange the deck chairs as the ship sinks because that’s the only thing they know to do. And you know? I can’t really blame them. We the people have also been rearranging the deck chairs. We live in a country that only benefits the top but we all still show up to do our duties without looking at what’s going on in other countries where the people are standing up to their authoritarian oppressors.

The worst part is the fascists know what they’re doing. They know to decay the structure by raising the temperature because we’ve become too complacent. We need to stand up to fascism in a way that we haven’t ever since McArthyism.

It would benefit a social cause that is near and dear to his heart: making Mark Zuckerberg extremely wealthy

I’ve been in a Tesla where the hazards are in a touchscreen. It made me wildly uncomfortable

That wasn’t how it worked at first. Back when I first joined Reddit you could be made moderator of a sub by another user without confirmation

He was the moderator of a sub called “jailbait” for a long time. What’s less clear is if that was something he did on purpose or if someone else assigned him as a mod as a prank assuming he wouldn’t notice

People complain about mastodons lack of algorithms a lot. Its part of how misskey, ice shrimp, and catodon came to be

I just pick the fastest three working libreddit instances once pinged by libredirect

I’d be more likely to recommend you install a plugin like libredirect and use an alternative frontend to Reddit like libreddit. Get visibility into posts, spread your load across three alternative front end instances to avoid rate limiting, starve reddit of the tracking data they’re trying to direct people to their preferred front end for

The way information is presented impacts how it is stored. If you look at a clock face and want to know what time it is it’s very easy to visualize the passage of time as fractional because the time is presented to you without numbers being the primary focus and instead divisions. Mentally it is easier for you then to grapple with time as a fractional division. However, if instead of presenting the day as being divides into 2 portions of 12 hours, themselves divided into 12 subdivisions, those then further divided into 12 subdivisions of the 5tha of those divisions, you presented it as a simple read out the passage of time feels more like a linear stream mostly indistinguishable.

How we present time changes how we think about time, which then changes how we describe time.

Man language is cool…

It’s the free (as in beer) program that comes with windows to open doc and rtf files and put together fine enough documents. Dropping it is Microsoft telling users unwilling to pay for word without the technical knowhow to get LibreOffice or Abiword going to get fucked. Its anti consumer no matter which way you slice it.

Humans can be very naive. It could be as simple as Putin got in contact and said “I know you never said anything bad against me. You know. We’ve been through a lot. Why don’t you come back to Moscow in secret, and we can work out a better deal where we can still play Grand Theft Auto and no one has to know its you”

Alternatively, Putin threatened someone he cared about. “Get back here or Mr snuggles gets it”

Maverick gets a pass for being a small hybrid rather than a gas guzzling 1500 with no torque

And then they don’t know where the front end of their vehicle is, making the roads more dangerous for everyone

Very true, and very annoying. Anytime I see thst all I can think is that its a family sedan for someone not confident enouf in their manhood

It’s design demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what trucks are for. I know people give the CEO of Ford shit for saying hes not worried about the Cybertruck because people who want to do real work wouldn’t take any interest in it, but its true. Trucks all have the shape of bed they do for a reason. Convergent product evolution landed on that as the best shape for a bed for trailer hitches

Your best bet as a member of the 95% is a class action suit. The problem is that “enterprising” members of the 1% will take most of the winnings from your class action suit for representing you against other members of the 1%. No matter what, even if you win as a poor person in the American legal system, you’ve still lost
