That’s the problem with racist bullshit. They scrape the racism off and peddle it everywhere until it’s widely accepted and not tied to it’s roots anymore.

I mean it says so right there.
this is not satire
I really don’t want to write “checkmate liberals” but maybe Chad does?
- Comment on Amazon is changing what is written in books 2 weeks ago:
If I ever embrace my fate as a lonely housewife book author, I’m going to have a rough time, because the kind of people who would forever love me for producing my books and sharing them as free (with the option to donate) and the kind of people who buy lonely housewife books are two completely different circles and I wouldn’t be able to spend all the time necessary to ‘market’ myself online to get the books in the hands of people who want them, if I’m trying to spend that time writing.
Maybe what we need is an apparatus. A website where authors can share full-size books, users can vote on them, and if you like them enough you can give money to those writers.
I just don’t know how we’d get that, be able to allow any author to share their book, and still have quality control.

I haven’t looked at or held or otherwise directly perceived a kindle in many years now, but when I did it was insanely easy to just pop any old file into a converter and slip that onto the kindle and pirate and read as you like. Did they put a stop to that with some proprietary nonsense?

Every time I’ve ever mentioned that there’s people who do this, the reactions I get from people who have one are… not pleased.
Actually now that I think about it, I think it’s because most of those folks don’t want to see other people’s Johnsons. I guess there’s not as much overlap between people who have dingalings and people who want to see them as there could be.

There was a subreddit for people putting like outfits on their peckers, and that’s about the only thing I think the fediverse is missing. And before anybody tells me to start that community, I don’t have a dick of my own, and yes, I’m aware that it’s a skill issue.

Literally what I’ve been saying since his whole ‘camps’ thing came to light.
We don’t just have poor impulse control (and we do, a lot of it)- many of us have had hobbies and interests over the years that make for a group of people who are each, in their own way, as resourceful as MacGuyver. If you make the mistake of rounding us all up and putting us in the same place, we’ll have a pirate radio and an underground railroad with an actual train in it in a week.
Our most dangerous phrase is, “I’m bored.” Our second most dangerous phrase is, “You know what would make this better?” And it’s only ever rarely dangerous to us.
- Comment on I got a big head start early in life in not giving a shit about what other people thought. 4 weeks ago:
I cannot, for the life of me, begin to give a damn. Sometimes I see some terminally online people getting all pissy about not being perceived as cool, but that behavior isn’t cool either, so it just proves the point.
I don’t even want to be perceived, let alone labelled.

I came to the comments with this question. I googled it and apparently it can’t smell you yet.
Which is still awful and invasive and terrifying.

Appreciate it but luckily it was like 30 years ago.

I immediately thought this is a person on opiates.

Hyperintelligent aliens should understand that comedy shouldn’t punch down!
