  Yeah I used to think that all these Tesla fan channels on YouTube and Instagram were because the brand was seen as somehow special and exciting, like Apple used to be under Steve Jobs. But now I’ve come to the conclusion that most of them are being paid under the table and not declaring it, because their collective reactions to the past year or more of insanity just don’t pass the sniff test.

  “not all of them actually do sex work” is one of those fictions that everyone on all sides is happy to play along with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Fascist criminals like Yaxley-Lennon in the UK cry about their free speech, and when you look at the cases it’s stuff like trying to intimidate juries, or inciting crowds to set fire to buildings containing asylum seekers.

  There’s numbers for testing CC software.

  It took a sinister turn right at the end…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The good old days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, when you say doctors endorsed cigarette smoking, a small percentage of doctors were duped into endorsing it and their recommendations boosted by the tobacco industry.

  I’ve got my Grandfather’s old copy of The Boy’s Companion published before the date in that meme, and it’s very clear in its message that smoking is bad for you. They’ve known it was harmful to health since at least the 17th century, and tobacco was only brought to Europe in the 16th.

  The cunts who sent that mascot to the hospital fucking KNEW.

  It was a major plot point on one of the seasons of The Sopranos. Junior ordered a hit on Tony Soprano after Tony found out that Junior ate pussy and teased him for it.

  Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.

  I googled the author, he’s a Tech Bro pretending to be a media critic. Shame on The Guardian for publishing this moronic clickbait guff.

  I would say the guy clearly doesn’t understand the most basic concepts of fiction, except I suspect he probably does but is ignoring them in order to push his agenda.

  That was the opposite of nuance. It was pedantry that deliberately missed the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my friends is married to a Chinese woman only two years his junior, but because she, like most Asian women, looks a lot younger than her European contemporaries he still gets lots of dirty looks and untoward comments from judgy fucks who think it’s any of their fucking business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When an influential group of powerful people make hate speech a part of their standard rhetoric, is EXACTLY when you MUST block it on your platform, not a signal that it’s time to start letting it slide, you fucking pricks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter.

  Not even that it doesn’t matter, it’s almost entirely the point. The reason why using ‘females’ as a noun to refer to women is dehumanizing is because it’s a noun we use for animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bees live less than two months, so if 80% of bees died in the last 8 months that would suggest a sharp recent increase.

  I’m not saying there isn’t a bee crisis, just that this factoid is very badly worded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been paying for Office365 home for years. Recently I started a business and signed up for 365 Business for the company email address.

  Outlook stopped working, because the 365 Business account - which I specifically signed up in order to do email - doesn’t include local Outlook, and my existing home-licensed one throws a hissy fit if I try connecting it to my business account.

  Microsoft sucks.
