• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  last week he was posting things online being offensive towards women

  he wasn’t aware of any increased discrimination happening against women

  Umm…

  Perhaps he has always posted that much misogynistic stuff so technically it isn’t an increase?

  Also that everyones brain has tuned this perception based on their own ear shape, and if you add prosthetic ridges to someones ear they become very bad at determining the noise source direction in blindfold tests.

  Another option:
  Green cabbage, steamed with butter melted over the top while its hot.
  And cauliflower? Have you not heard the good word about cauliflower cheese bake?

  Agreed, this feels like a water pokemon that can learn solar beam/solar blade, absorb, giga drain, etc.

  Exactly what i was thinking, it would be like asking people what a bird sounds like and getting completely different results from different locales.

  The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
  Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharp

  Wittenoom was an asbestos mining town, it was the whole reason for the towns existence. They believed at the time that not only was asbestos safe but they would spread blue asbestos out on the ground around their houses and paths on purpose (for some reason, i forget why exactly, might have been as an insect deterrent or something).
  So this wouldnt be that weird for them, like a coal mining town digging buckets of coal.

  Me too, once held too long when i was busy and kept hitting the ‘snooze button’ on going all day long, end of the day i dropped something that resembled a hand grenade, with the little square-ish ridges and everything. The pain, the relief, the lasting butthole tenderness afterwards.

  Is Alestorm close enough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also to add that amazon has been caught encouraging users to “refund” e-books and purchase a different one, without telling users that these refunds are clawed back from the Authors.

  Then to double fuck the Authors they didnt give authors detailed statements - only payments of the monthly total, so any “refunds” were deducted from the total sales from that month and author paid the difference. This was only noticed when an author with an accounting/finance background noticed a negative payment statement one month and looked into this and found amazon routinely charging back authors, sometimes for multiple copies of ‘refunds’ that didnt actually take get refunded, straight up stealing from the Authors.

  And yet there are people willing to get brain implants or other ‘utility’ bio-augmentations and dont see an unsupported/EOL product becoming part of their body indefinitely.

  Agreed.
  Also active/passive gets confusing crossing over into electronics where they already mean something.

  Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.

  Lego is the only correct version though, it is defined by the company that created it so its not ‘open to interpretation’ imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Verge shows how Google search is useless⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes, i often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no such thing as a free service.

  People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.

  The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:

  Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases) ‘Free’ content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
  ‘Free’ content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.

  If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?
