ReCursing

I get fash ads on facebook claiming that Qatar is invading Europe. I report them every time I see them

She Ra was superb on that front, but representation matters even if its done badly

It does now and has for years, but at first they didn’t realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded

I know Sleaford Mods. Will check the others too, thanks

Bob Vylan and Idles are great, will check the Lambrini Girls, thanks

They’re sometimes called garden path sentences because they lead you up the garden path. Some more examples: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/garden-sentences-262915

Oh, train is a verb not a noun here! I thought you meant a toy train set, and was very confused for a moment

I think it’s perfectly understandable that some people are homophobes

No it’s not. It’s not a justifiable position. It’s not unexpected sadly, but it is not understandable because it’s not a position based on anything other than ingrained hatred and fear

You tell these people to fuck off because they are not arguing in good faith and just want to waste your time

This was just too perfect not to post

“It’s too fast” is a really really dumb argument against AI

not Cable Select

In this case no, the other side is absurd. Not everything is actually a multi-faceted problem - some people think the Earth is flat and we can point and laugh at them

You just need a couple of generals to say “no my orders are legitimate, theirs aren’t, mine come for the real president!” and you have a problem. And all that takes it a little bit of blackmail and bribery or a couple of high ranking useful idiots or psychopathic grifters

Wow, op got pissy!

I use servers extensively, for several communities (some small like my weekly RPG game servers and my book club, some much bigger like the AI art servers I’m on), all of which have multiple channels which are used for different things. Correct me if I’m wrong but afaik Signal (and Molly which I’d previously not heard of) doesn’t do that

It being closed source is unfortunate, not being very privacy friendly is certainly not good but I don’t think there have been any major leaks have there?

I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all

Why? What have they done that I am unaware of?

how??? How does someone wanting it less but having more money to throw around that you mean they want it more?

If I want the handle fizz I’ll pay about $10 if someone wants to pay more then they want it more than me.

No, if someone is willing to pay more than you they may want it less but also value their money less because they have a lot of it, or they may think they can use it to make more money than you are willing to pay for it. capital=power, not desire

it’s no different than being racist.

People choose to be cops. People don’t choose to be black. Cops choose to shoot people for being black.

Some cops may join for good reasons, but the institution as a whole is so corrupt and full of "one bad apple"s, coupled with them necessarily dealing with the worst in society and also non-cops that they soon fall prey to the environment and become awful themselves.

Be safe, assume ACAB
