I’m forever amused by people opposed to silly comic book nonsense like this because it’s unrealistic or breaks in-universe logic.

People who can be credulous about laser swords but get upset when someone uses a hyperdrive as a torpedo are like religious people who ignore 3/4 of the stuff from their faith but get real militant about the three rules they care about.

The real punch line is that in a cafe run by programmers, esoteric rules are in full force, but tables 0 and 1 are no where near each other.

You’re the one drinking wine through the world’s worst straw.

“It’s easy to poke fun at these kids, but history has a way of repeating itself, and this is how it starts. In ’30s Germany, a progressive community, a thriving gay community, excellent academic institutions. And how it started, was it was fashionable to wear a brown shirt and mock students at the University of Vienna,’ Galloway said.

This is the most selfawarewolf shit I’ve ever seen. Galloway mocks progressive students, then comments how mocking progressive students is just like the Brown Shirts.

It’s not safe to mix the drugs it’d take to enjoy this with the drugs it’d take to make it through awake.

Good news everybody! This game is already out, graphics don’t matter, and quality of life mods are probably better than what a studio could do.

I collect irony and Elon funding a labor dispute is a rare treat.

The time isn’t exact. I don’t know why it drifts, they should be able to use the GPS signal, but I have two devices, one with an alarm, and another with a notification that goes off at the same time. They’re never more than a second apart, but which one goes off first changes.

That’s a particular statement, considering the US has the oldest democratic constitution in the world.

white phosphorus can cause asphyxiation in enclosed places like bunkers and tunnels in two different ways. By consuming all the oxygen, or by inhalation of the smoke it gives off.

The smoke given off by WF is mostly Phosphorus pentoxide. It causes severe irritation and burns to eyes and the respiratory tract.

Using WF off-label as a tear gas dates back to 1916.

The problem with the concept of “war crimes” is it implies honorable warfare exists.

Why don’t the Russians asphyxiate people the ethical way: with white phosphorus? Are they stupid?

Everything I know about Linux I learned troubleshooting a problem. And I still feel like I don’t know shit about the OS. After so long with Windows, Linux feels like living in a country where you don’t speak the language; everything is harder than it needs to be.

If the day comes where games are as easy on Linux as they are on Windows, I’ll give desktop Linux another shot.

This said, I’ve self-hosted on a Debian box for years.

Pakistan’s government took our money, promised to fight terrorism, denied it in public, all while their military (who actually ran the country) supported the Taliban as a proxy force.

The only thing Trump ever did that I agreed with was suspending “aid” to Pakistan.

Unreliable =/= false. Even heavily biased outlets usually get their facts straight, but editorial choices like whom to quote, how to frame events, and what stories to cover can absolutely give a wrong impression. Especially if the audience isn’t paying close attention.

You can take a fact like “two hostages were killed in an Israeli airstrike” and frame it as “look how indiscriminate the IDF bombings are” or “look how cowardly Hamas is”. Those are two very different stories, but neither are “false”.

Genuine fake news is pretty rare, unless the source is a random link from Xtwitter. Go fact check what you consider a heavily biased source and I think you’ll be surprised.

So, a genocide doesn’t count unless it’s complete, and if the Palestinians in Gaza knew what was good for them they’d self-ethnic-cleanse?

they have genocidal leadership who are clearly intent on attacking their neighbors until they’re all dead.

What you’re implying is that Hamas is bringing down genocide on their own people via the IDF. Since Hamas is in control of, and responsible for the IDF, why don’t they use it to attack Israel? Are they stupid?

It’s ironic you bring up Marbury vs. Madison. The case where the Supreme Court gave itself the extra-constitutional authority to strike down laws.

The issue could also be addressed on the global stage as the International Court of Justice reviews South’s Africa petition accusing Israel of genocidal intent, which mentions starvation. Israel has rejected the genocide claim and will fight the complaint, starting with a public hearing next week.

Don’t worry, the International Court of Justice has already declared the invasion of Ukraine illegal and ordered Russia to stop it’s aggression.

But it is interesting that Israel has agreed to participate. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.

For the past couple of years Dave Chapelle has had a 24/7 police presence on his property.

This would have made for a classic skit on Chapelle’s Show. Black man gets so rich and out of touch that he pays police to follow him around.

The largest OS for spyware and monopoly shenanigans is Google’s android ecosystem and that’s Linux based.

Honestly I don’t understand all the Windows hate. Sure it made since back in 2001, but smartphones outshitify anything Windows ever did. The proof of it is that Redmond has been trying to phonify Windows since version 8 so they could be more shitty.

It doesn’t say. That and the fact that this is reporting on other reporting, a kind of “reaction video” of journalism should be enough to ignore that number.
