- Comment on Pro-Life Texans Gather In Austin To Rally Against Abortion | News Radio 1200 WOAI | San Antonio's First News 3 days ago:
The fetus is not a person, not a body.
You don’t get to tell the woman what to do with her body any more than she gets to tell you what to do with yours.
- Comment on Pro-Life Texans Gather In Austin To Rally Against Abortion | News Radio 1200 WOAI | San Antonio's First News 3 days ago:
That’s called an abortion, not murder. See, since it’s inside of a human with her own agency, no one else has any say in what she does. It’s a very simple concept called bodily autonomy.

Did this pregnant woman give birth to a child in the past, and is she looking to have that child assassinated in this scenario? That’s covered under regular old murder laws.
- Comment on Pro-Life Texans Gather In Austin To Rally Against Abortion | News Radio 1200 WOAI | San Antonio's First News 4 days ago:
Murdering your own children has been illegal forever. It’s women’s healthcare that classic religious terrorists, and modern Republican fascist terrorists, are trying to make illegal now.

Everyone does what they do voluntarily. Starfleet, barbers, field hands, all people who chose to do that because they enjoy it.

I like that it’s “Forced”. If it was just “make people shit themselves”, it would just happen and then they’d wonder what’s going on But Forced implies they’re fighting it, it implies resistance. That’s kinda messed up.

Between threads and blue sky, the non-cultists are leaving in droves.
I wonder how much the two cult sites fight over the same users.

Yeah but they’re fighting over the inevitable ad revenue.

- Comment on I feel you, green guy. 2 months ago:
The same thing, from the Silmarillion:
The love of Finwë and Míriel was great and glad, for it began in the Blessed Realm in the Days of Bliss. But in the bearing of her son Míriel was consumed in spirit and body; and after his birth she yearned for release from the labour of living. And when she had named him, she said to
Finwë: ‘Never again shall I bear child; for strength that would have nourished the life of many has gone forth into Fëanor.’
[They try to heal her and even the gods fail at it]
‘It is indeed unhappy,’ said Míriel, ‘and I would weep, if I were not so weary. But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after.’
She went then to the gardens of Lórien and lay down to sleep; but though she seemed to sleep, her
spirit indeed departed from her body, and passed in silence to the halls of Mandos.

- Comment on Jack Black is what happens when the class clown doesn't become depressed and instead becomes even more of a clown 3 months ago:
He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.

Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.
Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.
I’m certain the first thing that came to mind wasn’t money.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 3 months ago:
Nope. If you want control over what’s getting done to your software, you’ve got to take ownership of it, or you might get changes in your fixes you’re not happy with.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 3 months ago:
Not a lot of options there. You either go with an old pre-computer car or get an open source car (which isn’t really an option).
I’m not talking about the infotainment system, just to be clear. I’m talking about the software that controls the functions of the drive and safety systems. If you want an infotainment system that you have complete control over, I’d suggest putting an open source tablet on your dash
Sadly, it looks like most of the FOSS car infotainment projects died a few years ago.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 3 months ago:
I don’t think y’all understand. Software is never done, it just becomes abandoned. You have been a “tester” for every piece of software you’ve ever used. And that’s a good thing, because the alternative is you get stuck with whatever the first version is. No one wants dead software.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 3 months ago:
Well, it’s because it’s an old car company doing software, something they’re universally bad at.

exactly.

Software that never gets updated isn’t a good thing. Even the Voyager probes still get software updates.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 3 months ago:
A Tesla always updates over the air (I suppose unless that’s the part that’s broken). It’s arguably the most important safety feature on a car mostly defined by its software. I have a ten year old chevy that needs a software update, but like you said I’ll need to make an appointment to have someone else download it and manually install that software for me, which sounds super archaic and dumb when it’s spelled out like that.

IDK if you’re familiar with the Anime, but in this scene the 5 year old green hair kid is pointing at his favorite super hero and crying because he just got the news he’ll never have a super power.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 3 months ago:
At some point Pithos stopped working, or started working poorly, and I switched to Spotify. The integration with multiple audio sinks that let’s you play on any number of networked speakers is a killer feature for me. I loved Pandora but Spotify is a better Pandora (and admittedly more expensive).
