Ahh yes. Just like all those penalties for Matthew Kacsmaryk that will arrive aaaaany day now.

Federal judges serve for life. There’s not a whole lot anybody can do about this.

He’s not broke. TruthSocial is about to go public via SPAC and make him about $3.3B. Company will trade under ticker DJT.

This is all a nice distraction to rile his base.

…not even. A burger doesn’t even cost a buck to make. Their margins are off the chain.

Soda and fries are even crazier. It’s why the $1/any size drink works - going larger doesn’t impact their bottom line materially at all since the COGS are so low.

Companies have up to a 1000-1 ROI on lobbying.

It’s foolish not to buy what’s on sale.

“Also, that guy over there is using a magnifying glass to light paper on fire, ignore me using napalm since fire is just fire”

There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.

Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

And…

but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

Just fly Airbus. Or Embraer. Or Bombardier. It’s still safer than driving by far.

You’d think participating in the propaganda campaign for the Iraq war and the Valery Plame incident would’ve nailed their coffin shut, but here we are today, with those same assholes doing what they do best.

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

Can’t get clicks without bait. Next they’ll be adding “You’ll never believe who it is!”

People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.

I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.

You just broke my brain. “Surely no developer could possibly implement something so stupid,” I thought 2 minutes ago before I read that manual.

That’s a real oof right there.

“Manufacturing software that doesn’t suck!”

🤮 yeah right

Sorry, not in budget for this year. Do it in prod and write up the cap-ex proposal for next year.

Non-existent in the US thanks to whack-ass tariffs unfortunately. We love hindering our adoption of climate change reducing technology for political points.

MD PhD who gets paid $15/hr to work 70 hour weeks at Duke. Her CV is a mile long

She should quit. Industry pays an actual livable salary compared to that. She could work as a shipping clerk and make more money and have a higher standard of living.

They abuse people endlessly because smart and talented people like your friend volunteer to get abused. It’s tragic, but their own choice.

It’s legal to discriminate if employees are less than 55 years of age. It’s only illegal to discriminate if people are too old. We’re a gerontocracy.

Thanks to federation, the copies of the eggs are. You can’t stop one instance from selling data sourced from federated content until it’s too late.
