19 downvoters bringing a strong “shooting the messenger” energy

the only reduced population size that’s needed is the population of plutocrats, the rest of us will be fine

since the end of the pandemic

mm, delicious bait! 😋 go on then, which proxy war does the US have “actual moral footing” to get behind?

no there is no (good) option that doesn’t involve you signing up for an account. but that seems like a weird requirement; you were willing to sign up for youtube?

3 downvoters will only accept first-party Apple™ servicing of the iBoot™ on their tongue

imagine doing free PR for a man with as much money as Jeff Bezos

Calling this sexual assault doesn’t help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

what “actively harms victims of sexual violence” is gatekeeping the definition of it, and normalising nonconsensual intimate physical acts. maybe spend some time researching the “real rape” myth, and its impact on reporting, investigation, and conviction rates.

it’s the only place I know where it’s common to have your whole battery pack swapped out, much quicker than recharging a battery, and leaves the difficult job of battery maintenance up to professionals

Yes, we can see he did that. Yes, she said that afterwards. She showed no signs of it at that moment.

1. please explain what kind of “sign” you are thinking of.

2. please then make an earnest attempt to empathise: you are in a public situation, your boss, who has an immense amount of control over your future career, makes an unwanted sexual advance. how confident do you feel enacting the “sign” in point #1

3. please then rate, on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is “not at all convincing” and 10 is “completely convincing”, the “sign” in point #1, and the public statement after the fact that the kiss was not consensual, in terms of you believing that Hermoso did not consent. in rating the public statement after the fact, please bear in mind the risks of the public statement to Hermoso (including the lawsuit mentioned in this article, the potential career damage in point #2, and the potential harm that thhe player is likely to cause to people who have experienced sexual assault, were she to be discovered to have been lying about not consenting)

@[email protected] i think you might have the meaning of “Luddite” backwards https://thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

we are very screwed, in large part because of people like you, enthusiastically volunteering to help with propaganda in support of corporate real estate and retail tycoons.

you could be part of the solution by wearing a mask.

perhaps research the effects of repeated COVID infections on otherwise-fine people, reconsider how transmission and probability works (“oh, there’s no point using condoms, anyone I have any kind of sex with is likely to get HIV from someone else”), and try and imagine how you’d feel if you or someone you care about had an immune system disorder and couldn’t safely go outside in your area because of healthier people who prioritise their comfort in not wearing a small piece of cloth on their faces

wow what a disgusting take - people with medical conditions can’t go out in public for the rest of their lives because wearing a facemask is mildly inconvenient for you?

you wearing a mask could prevent you from infecting dozens if not hundreds of people with COVID over the rest of your life, several of whom could die or get longterm disabilities from it. very unclear how what other people are doing affects that

“nobody cares”, except people with medical conditions who can’t risk getting COVID so can’t go out in public since people stopped wearing masks, or those of us who don’t want to be part of a large-scale experiment about the debilitating effects of long COVID. maybe try different anti-fog products, there are some that definitely work. and wear a fucking mask

boosters don’t have much impact on you getting other people sick. you can get a spray to stop glasses fogging up, you can get cooling towels or a personal fan to deal with overheating. wear a fucking mask please

“customer” instead of “passenger” on public transit. implies the kind of ludicrous thinking that public services “lose money”

correction: it was both! fedbook chat also supported xmpp at first, they never federated but you could at least use it with a jabber client. then when they had enough market share they killed it.

fun semi related fact is that whatsapp, at least a couple of years ago, was using modified ejabberd (ie an xmpp server) as the backend - so arguably they helped with EEE too.
