I really hated all the moaning about people calling out that both are shitty options. The Overton window is so far to the right. Like, yeah Harris is clearly the better option but neither represent any positive moves forward.

Aye. Famine is a failure in policy. Enough people in power have decided that these people should suffer and die.

I rather like the wide berth people give me even though it doesn’t make much sense. Like, anyone could have Covid, but if I had it and I wear a respirator I’ll be less dangerous than someone who has it and doesn’t wear one. I get that people equate respirators with spooky but that’s just because they haven’t thought about it.

Thinking back on it, there was a single dude that spoke to me randomly. I think it might have been because of the mask but I’ve genuinely no idea, I always wear ANC headphones and ignore people. It helps my anxiety a lot.

Sadly, the people that will really appreciate you using a respirator are those you generally don’t see out and about because they can’t be, it isn’t safe for them.

I also mask. People don’t generally talk about it here, and masking wasn’t even very common back when the pandemic was taken more seriously.

Never faced any aggression but people do give you a wide berth which is kind of hilarious to me, but it doesn’t bother me at all.

I was brushing my teeth when reading this comment and inadvertently ended up swallowing all my toothpaste.

I feel like this is always the case for anyone with any sort of notoriety from the 1900s or before. If they were alive they were most likely racist Nazis.

I trust Doctor Pepper more than Phil.

No it’s all really recent. For reference, my country, Sweden, commonly referred to as being super progressive and whatever overturned a law requiring trans people to undergo sterilisation if they wanted their gender legally recognised in 2013. Mere eleven years ago.

We were super horny for eugenics and the shit the Nazis did. Sure most of Europe was, but we aren’t the saints we like to portray ourselves as.

My roomie is a trucker. He has laughed so much at the Tesla semitruck because it kind of fails at everything a truck is meant to do.

Respectfully, I don’t want to see any trains or buses made under his guidance.

Wasn’t he in hot water for corruption a while ago?

Wow I’d missed that. Honestly we need to throw out the entire parliament. They’re all broken.

Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.

Well, no. It wouldn’t be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it “the English language’s first and only Chinese character.”

If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it’s a smiley.

I really like Tumbleweed. Sure it updates a lot, but it doesn’t force updates so you can take it at your own pace.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

It wasn’t well balanced but it was a good RPG experience. Oblivion had a bunch of elements stripped out, but it was still an RPG, the wonky alphabetical voice acting aside. Skyrim felt like a cookie-cutter action adventure game, all the roleplay had flown out the window.

First is financially successful, it generated some decent profits for the stockholders.

This is the only sort of success they care about. Anything else is secondary. These companies gladly burn bridges with their communities so long as they believe it’ll benefit their bottom-line.

Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?
