Transporter Room 3

My mother keeps sending stuff over Facebook, my sister keeps inviting me to supposedly important events over Facebook, my work wants me to use twitter, and my brother in law keeps sending tiktock videos.

I remind all of them that I don’t use social media, and my Facebook account is only up for the 2 times a year I need it to get ahold of otherwise-unreachable people. If you want something, send me a text or email and be direct.

some suggest that herders need to start acquiring private land and operating like other businesses

Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?

Let them eat cake.

Well now I’m sad and want to go back to the cabin I stayed in for my first anniversary and finish reading.

Just once I would love for a judge to just go "You know what? It’s obvious what your company is doing here, so rather than attempt to receive this information in good faith, since it’s not being OFFERED in good faith, we can go ahead and say you lose, and now owe punitive damages to every artist you’ve sued over the years over a couple circles. "

But no, they pretend that corporations are people.

I’ll believe they’re people when I finally see one executed, or taxed, or imprisoned, or face any of the consequences normal people do. You can’t argue the idea of a comoany has personhood and then walk that back any time it comes to punishment.

Fuck disney

Yes, that is part of the joke.

My grandparents didn’t even update their will when my sister and I were born.

Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.

You cannot “pre-emptively” defend yourself, an attack to head off a suspected attack is still an attack.

Other than that semantic nitpick, personally I’m there with you… However, you cannot seriously be pointing this out without also recognizing that Israel is very much the initial offender in any conflict that arises as direct result of their actions in gaza.

If I let a bully sucker punch me so I have an excuse to beat up all the people around them, and then someone else close by hits me, I can’t honestly say I am the one who is defending myself.

From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,

Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

“The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems customers slip through your fingers.”

… Aren’t we all, in one way or another?

I mean, I’ve had my knee crushed by a sledgehammer. My left hand has been run through with a knife. I’ve taken a bullet to the hip through a vehicle door.

Doesn’t mean I don’t still feel pain when I get a sack slap.

It’s a peaceful life.

So like… Are people thinking this is serious, and not recognizing the fact that it’s pointing out ridiculous arguments that some Bad-faith argumentatives like to make?

I’ve heard plenty of people in all seriousness say women don’t understand the pain of getting hit in the balls, but like… Nobody sane and rational actually believes that.

If you really DO think women, who have ENTIRE HUMANS SHOCED OUT OF THEIR VAGINA, can’t understand pain? Yes, getting hit in the balls hurts. I’ve been hit more times than I care to remember.

If anyone really DOES think women don’t get that kind of searing pain, look up “Childbirth perineal tear” and promptly lose all confidence in your argument.

I had to fiddle with my own on my old laptop, I used one of the plethora of github scripts, but then they changed the api to limit access to (I think) about 100/min, so I just changed the delays to 1000ms so it would only delete 60/min.

Took two weeks, but I still haven’t seen any old content pop back up outside of archives and quotes from other comments in the thread.

I search for a couple random things I remember saying on ddg/bing/Google whenever I think about it, so far nothing.

As I’ve said before about certain countries, you know your platform is doing well when you (essentially) tell people “No, sorry, you can’t leave.”

Are you coming on to me?”

I’ve actually used “I’m flattered, but I’m not into guys, sorry.” and when immediately he got pissy and insisted he isn’t gay and wasn’t asking me out, “It’s okay, you don’t have to hide who you are, I’m simply not interested.” and at that point my patience and certainty they wouldnt try to deck me were out the door, along with myself.

A musical theater performance was probably not the best place for the guy to be attempting to ragebait.

10/10 responses, I’d add in “If you have to ask, maybe you should get out more” which I guess is similar to “Makes sense you wouldn’t know”

So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”
