We aren't the ones who needed a multi-paragraph explanation to differentiate between domestic abuse and femicide; the difference between the two is rather large and made rather obvious by one of the words being gendered while the other is not

Sexagon sounds like an MMA-themed porno
It doesn't actually have to be either-or; we can have trucks with significant hauling capacity and have safe roads. My truck is smaller than my last minivan, with a bigger box than most new trucks. I'd go even smaller, but kei trucks aren't very common here

Viricide is more consistent because vir and femina are both Latin (as is -cide/-cidium, but that's less important), while andro is Greek. The Greek-rooted synonym for femicide would be gynaecide.
But yeah, androcide would be more likely to be used, because it avoids the superficial similarity to virus; kind of like how Latin and Greek numerical prefixes often get mixed together to avoid the prefix 'sex-'
We're letting them take the word grok now? Fucking Nazis ruin everything

Yeah, Bluesky is fake decentralized
rsync -t ought to keep the modification timestamp, but will probably lose the creation timestamp
Yes, but it might be easier to find things that are completely sugar-free, was their point
I'm surprised Harris didn't respond, she seemed to like endorsements from shit headed right wingers
I always forget that the quote isn't "Get in the fucking robot, Shinji
Bonus: a handful of Democrats may vote to approve, out of an instinctual desire to

Nuclear doesn't work well as baseload since while you can turn it off rather quickly you can't turn it back on fast when it's needed again
