No sex. No dating. No marriage. No children. Interest grows in 4B movement to swear off men
  • Idgaf. Why has this story been at the top of my feed for like 4 days now?

  • What does your country/government do well?
  • Kill (or help kill) people who are on average more poor and brown than we are.

  • Everything is so expensive
  • Yes. It's short for "hear him", and also i guess gets rid of the pointless gendering of that phrase.

  • Everything is so expensive
  • I'm surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.

  • 'Totally illegal': Trump escalates rhetoric on outlawing political dissent and criticism
  • Sadly I truly believe this is the case. There's no reason to support Trump positions unless you're a billionaire. Any non-billionaire that supports his obvious lies and grifts must be a racist, because he doesn't have anything else going on.

  • I’m Running Out of Ways to Explain How Bad This Is
  • Who's going to do the regulating?

    Sure, a liberal could impose sane regulation, but what happens next time the US elects a Trump?

    You want Trump (or any other fascist wannabe dictator) to have the ability to control what people say on the Internet? He's already calling to take down ABC for fact checking him!

    So just like gun control (as in an all-out ban), regulation of free speech/communication is just so risky.

    I do think platforms should be doing more to remove disinformation from the mainstream, no matter who it pisses off. Unfortunately that does end up leading to echo chambers when what Americans need is to hear (truth) from all points of view.

    Very complex situation that AI is only making worse.

  • Oops, They Did It Again: The Mainstream Media Buries Trump’s Outrage
  • I think I understand your point, but if news isn't for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it's pretty hard work.

    It can't be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn't trust the media to accurately report on the state.

    Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.

  • Be the change you want to see in the world...
  • Bret, you got it going on.

  • What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
  • "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" is a hell of read, as well as "The Navidson Record".

    But "The Necronomicon" is my favorite fictional book, I think.

  • Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?
  • Only reserve IPs that are outside of the DHCP range you've configured.

  • Square!
  • Wat. There are three sides my dudes. What am I missing?

  • What's your radical opinion?
  • Same with meat on the bone for me. Like... I love a biryani, but it's so much better when the chicken/lamb is boneless. I get that the bone imparts some flavor, but I don't think it's worth the effort and mess.

  • Trump Demands ABC Be Shut Down for Daring to Fact Check Debate
  • I bet you money he couldn't point out where Haiti is on an unlabeled map of the Caribbean.

  • MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
  • Child Stone and Theodore Nugget has made my evening, thank you.

  • The Product is . . . Comprehensenility
  • This! Health insurance is the reason why medical costs in the US are so ridiculous. Health insurance, and IMO all insurance, is a scam. And since the "customers" (people who NEED care) can't see the price of service beforehand, there is no way for them to choose the most cost efficient option, which allows providers to charge whatever they want. Then the insurance company can come up with reasons not to pay and put the client on the line for the cost.

  • Based on a true story
  • I use/admin Linux each and every day at a professional level and at least once a week I'm final panel doggo.

  • Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?
  • I buy multiplayer games on steam since that's where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.
