your on a Canadian board remember

That would be because I’m Canadian. And no, that’s not bitching and moaning, that’s rightfully pointing out that while Ukraine and Gaza are living in demolished homes and unheated homes without electricity because they’re fighting fascists, Americans won’t do anymore more than performative marching because it might mean they lose their creature comforts and shiny toys.

The country is already in a civil war. But only one side is fighting it. And that’s why the body count is on their side.

Who says I’m not angry? You don’t know me.

Bitching and moaning on a website isn’t productive. Going out a filming a weekend protest on the brand new iPhone you purchased that week isn’t productive. It’s literally the epitome of what this guy was talking about. The addiction to ephemeral trivialities.

You protest Trump and yell your slogans about Epstein and in the end it does nothing because the people you SHOULD be targetting is the oligarchs and billionaires that pay him.

Trump is just another distraction from the root of the problem; another rage-bait to keep you distracted.

Until we are dragging billionaires into the streets en-mass, your protests mean precisely fuck-all. But anything more than just marching with a sign would require putting people’s creature comforts at risk, and that’s anathema in the west.

Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.

For a very long time I’ve realised that my ebook reader didn’t replace hardcover books for me. It just replaced those paperback books that you only intend to read once on an airplane; basically the bailiwick of mass-market-paperbacks.

So, sad as it is, it makes sense that paperbacks are seeing a steep decline. They’re the most susceptible to ebooks.

Except that they’re not wrong. Whoever this Jes Stanley is, back in 2014 he read the metaphorical room perfectly. Western culture will put up with anything as long as they keep getting shiny new toys every year.

Tale as old as time.

Me fail english!? That’s unpossible!

Technically yes, but also no.

At least not casually; flying between star systems at will, faster than light between star systems, etc…

I’m sure at some point, if scientists confirm the habitibility of a world orbiting a star relatively nearby, some group or other would probably get a Generation Ship concept going and head out. Musk or some other fucking billionaire looking for a world to conquer. So technically that is interstellar travel, but not really as it’s just a one way point to point, not a taxi service.

The word “Fact” is woke.

maybe stash a maga hat hidden somewhere, if you see ICE approaching to possibly arrest you and prevent you from voting, put the hat on.

That’s legitimately genius and hilarious at the same time.

This is survival of the poorly educated, poorly resourced, poorly connected communities.

Or this is the “find out” moment for a MAGA housewife who spent the last year cheering on RFK Junior and yellilng about the “woke agenda” of pasteurization.

The point is, we don’t know. But since RAW milk is both more expensive AND more inconvenient to obtain, I’m going to go with my theory over a poor mother.

The hole in the ozone layer…

Yep…you guessed it. Epstein.

I don’t disagree that they’re incompetent. But in this particular case what they’re doing isn’t incompetent at all. Surely you’ve noticed that anything in there that has Trumps name next to it is all things that couldn’t be corroborated. Or things that couldn’t be followed up on for one reason it another.

They took his name off from anything that was potentially investigated and proven, and left the “she says…” statements that have had no investigative follow-up so they can say “look how honest we are. Yes he’s in there but none of it is actually provable”

Its a greasy, and slimy and frankly pure evil scheme. But its not an incompetent one.

The only issue with Unions is a corporate system that has spent decades on a campaign of misinformation and vilification.

Never forget that its unions that gave you a five day work week, 8 hour days, and child labour laws.

Nothing is given by a corporation out of the kindness of their heart. And nothing makes them more gleeful than listening to people repeat their anti-union screed.

I hadn’t realized that Fran Drescher was no longer the president.

*Davenport

Chesterfield actually. “Davenport” was a name brand of chesterfiled-style-sofa that became popular enough to become synonymous (Like Kleenex became synonymous with tissues, or Chapagne became synonymous with almost any bubbly wine)

What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30? Is it simply that they’re hosting an app on their store, so therefore they’re entitled to a cut?

So if I write a novel, and get it published, Microsoft can say "We deserve 30% because you used our product to produce your product?

I’m so fucking tired of corporations. It’s well past guillotine-o-clock.

Haven’t brushed my teeth yet today. I’m gonna have to decline.

That was sassy? I thought it was hilarious.

I thought you had actually taken the time to look at my comment history, discovered that I majored in Near Eastern Classical Archaeology and was making a riff on that. I thought it was great!

I stand corrected. Learn something new every day. Thanks.

edit: I don’t know why you are getting downvotes. You corrected me with a proper source. and I stood corrected. That’s the proper civilized way of doing things.
