A lot of people struggle to read, and it’s kind of sad. https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/ was an interesting post about it (available as a podcast and transcripts).

That said, some people really just do wallow and the slop and that’s an embarrassment.

Watters is a piece of shit and he doesn’t deserve his wealth and peace.

“divisive” is such a weird complaint. It ignores the value of whatever people disagree on. As if being divided on “pizza or burritos” is just as bad as “should women be allowed outside”.

Conservatives say stuff for effect, not because they believe in truth or consistency. They are dishonest, broken, people. They should not be trusted.

We should condemn ICE. Is Maga on board with that? I don’t think so.

Well, off the top of my head, while it would be nice to live in a world without espionage that’s not this one. I don’t think you could do very good spying if everyone knew who your spies were.

No shit! All these CEOs that bent the knee to trump should suffer some actual consequences.

I’m so tired of idiot CEOs being glamorized. They are not smart. They’re wealthy. Tremendous wealth makes you stupid.

Well, it doesn’t help that a big faction of one of the two major parties, the republicans, fundamentally doesn’t believe in government or democracy. They do not want a government that provides services to the public.

I typically avoid videos because I vastly prefer reading, but I make an exception for those. I just watch them at double speed.

Switched to Linux. Don’t miss windows. Shit like this does not entice me.

I’d heard of him but didn’t think about him often.

Moved to Linux (popos on desktop, mint on ancient laptop). Been fine. Don’t miss windows. Play games and browse the web without issue.

Emulators are pretty great. The touch screen isn’t an ideal interface, but for less action-y games like final fantasy it’s fine.

No… no that’s impossible… fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought “wow i guess video games are mainstream now”

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies

Right wing people just say shit for power, not for consistency or truth or anything.

Thiel is a dangerous piece of trash and I’m disappointed he hasn’t… let’s say… been beamed up like kirk.

When I was making money, I’d buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.

Some people buy albums

Wikipedia is right there in a number of languages. Not asking people to do academic research, read above a 6th grade level, or leave their house.

One of the best responses to kirk’s death said something like “This is like writing an obituary of Joseph Goebbels that goes ‘Gobbels was a gifted marketer and father of six children’”
