  Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 characters? How about we make it 16?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Real men are far too hard to find, anyway. They’re mostly insecure AF children overcompensating for… things. It’s always the little things that fuck everything up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 characters? How about we make it 16?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  THIS ONE!!! This poster right here, PETA!!!

  (Yes, I got the reference - now get offa my lawn!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 characters? How about we make it 16?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So they can be any characters? Can they all be from the same show?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They making fun of you yankee⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the explanation because while Google translate does the job it’s intended to, it doesn’t help with context. I was confused at first because I thought religion was frowned upon (to put it politely) in China.

  Yeah, the latter half of my life as an American has been frustrating AF

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Second school strike takes place in Germany: “The rich want war, the youth want a future” : Peoples Dispatch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I’m so sorry to hear Germany has so quickly thrown away the lessons of it’s own not-so-distant history. I’m so glad the kids know better!

  When I was a kid there decades ago, I was pretty damned clueless & yet I still came away feeling surprised at just how much it seemed they were drilling in the shame over their past into the kids in school. It felt a lot like visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to me. I wonder if they went too hard, and inadvertently caused some backlash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's all SO simple!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know they tube feed patients in comas, right? The patient presumably didn’t give consent, and yet I’m pretty sure that’s legal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paging SpaceCowboy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, sorry - NO. It’s basic threat assessment, nothing to do with ethics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global economy must stop pandering to ‘frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been known for a long time, but nothing’s gonna change until they’ve totally wrecked everything of value. It’s the “if I can’t have it, nobody can” power trip.

  Well, you’re obviously either not terribly well-grounded in reality considering how many times I was patient enough to answer what was effectively the same question, or more likely you’re a poor excuse for a troll. Either way, I’ve got better things to do than feed whatever your neurotic issue is, so I’ll be blocking you. Good luck with finding the mental health assistance you obviously are in need of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please point out where I got “mad.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I’ve really got to spell it out for you, huh? Azure Linux will not be exempt - Microsoft will add the required routines to it, and if they are the only ones to do so, then they soak up the server market in CA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the only server OS legally capable of running in CA is Microsoft’s - be it Windows, or their particular spin of Linux - guess who’s gonna sop up all that government contact money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And there’s nothing keeping them from adding it themselves for their own profit.

  Can’t help thinking that “come” should have been spelled differently…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨visiting family back in switzerland for the weekend & airspace home gets closed🤪⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a tumor!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨visiting family back in switzerland for the weekend & airspace home gets closed🤪⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see you’re broadening your horizons in your wrecking career.

  I’ll have to add my wish that strangers would buy me things I want to my Amazon wishlist.

  Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turn off “debug” in the app settings to stop that & have it only report suspect devices instead of everything it sees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry - edited my comment as you were replying. It’s in the app’s settings menu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?

  I routinely destroy the so-called “logic & believability” of shows I watch by calling out all the flaws I see. Does that qualify?

  The crossover that needs to happen! I don’t care if it’s an alternate universe one-off, because it’s bound to be fun AF (although I’ll gladly take more)!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There can be only one.

  Saying myself with a reference to Highlander.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TBF, subconscious feelings of guilt often come out in seemingly illogical ways such as this. Not saying that’s definitely what happened, but it’s a possibility not to be summarily dismissed, either.
