Isn’t Yarvin an absolute scumbag who believes in enslaving others and other evils? Hope he meets an embarrassing end.

Is this what typical people eat? Oof

Musk is scum and I’m eagerly awaiting the day he’s no longer shitting up the world.

I’m surprised there isn’t more “And then someone followed the ICE agents home and shot them dead in their driveway” happening yet.

Be funny if that did happen, and the jury refused to indict. I think our faith in institutions are so low that that’s plausible, now.

replaced with a government that serves the will of its citizens.

What are we going to do about the 20 to 40 percent of people who support ICE and other horrors?

edit for clarity: replace “this” with concrete

Ed Zitron wrote an article a while ago about Business Idiots. From what I recall, the people in charge of these big companies are out of touch with users and the product, and so they make nonsense decisions. Companies aren’t run by the best and brightest. They’re run by people who do best in that environment.

Microsoft seems to be full of business idiots.

Is this what tiktok is? I’ve never delved into that slop

This format of text over face is kind of weird. I feel like it’s the “motivational poster” template of the mid 2020s.

This is more elegant and detailed than my usual “hang them”.

Booleans work in any order. A and B is the same value as B and A

Unless you’re interpreting the phrase as “have your cake and then eat it too”? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.

They do not. They are stupid.

No one would go if they weren’t getting paid.

I don’t know I’ve met some boot lickers that would work for free.

I really do not like video as a medium for things that could be written. I don’t really care for “wow look at this wacky thing that happened”. I really dislike videos that are just someone talking at the camera. (Standup comedy gets a pass, but that’s also not something I watch much)

So I’m probably not watching most videos.

I think sometimes in an informal context it’s worthwhile to realize the other person is not a credible source arguing in good faith. The amount of effort it takes to discern and counter bullshit is way more than the effort to just make shit up. Sometimes you don’t want to spend an hour researching to refute someone’s lies.

In that case, “You’re a dishonest person arguing in bad faith” is appealing, reasonable even, despite attacking the person instead of their statements.

I only buy drm free music and then back it up somewhere myself. Bandcamp at least is drm free, but who knows if they’ll turn to shit after being bought and sold.

That won’t work if the check is server side, and they don’t send the article content to you at all without paying. That seems to be the case here.

What’s the saying? Some people are more concerned with order than justice?

I’d see that a lot with my old coworkers. They’d rather just not talk about something than be mildly uncomfortable.

Buying music on Bandcamp and similar has been good for me. When I got laid off I kept all the music I owned and didn’t have to pay anymore. All these subscription services suck.

There’s some spots in the big nyc parks where you’re surrounded by trees and can pretend you’re not in a big city. That’s all I’ve got.

Outside the city it gets surprisingly conservative sometimes. I knew someone who had family north of Albany, and their neighbor flew a confederate flag. Probably a maga flag now.

Since when did zitron paywall his posts?? I usually read them and I understand giving content away for free is largely unsustainable, but I’m too unemployed to want to pay $7/mo
