I’m in it and don’t GAF anymore.

But that requires you knowing what makes you happy. I’ve been depressed so long that almost nothing makes me happy anymore - especially with Nero actively burning down Rome all around us.

Missed opportunity: “Support our dumbness” shoulda said “dumbasses” instead.

TikTok is a political scapegoat because they’re Chinese-owned, and they have long been taking serious eyeballs & money away from American oligarchs - so said oligarchs are pulling whatever strings are at their disposal to eliminate the outflow of money to places they can’t easily get it back from.

Reddit has quite a range of political fiefdoms. Compared to what “X” has become, virtually anything more tolerant of non-right-wing opinions looks significantly more liberal, even though the reality is that much of it is neoliberal at best (i.e. what used to pass for “centrist”). True leftists will tell you that the liberals of today have far more in common with conservatives of decades past than they do with actual leftists. That fact helped cost Harris the election.

When it comes to Twitter/X, you’d be hard pressed to point out other communities that are significantly more extreme in their right-wing audience than those that have flocked to there over the past couple of years. There are plenty of right-wing communities nowadays, but they’re all about the same because they’re all heavily extremist-leaning - you just can’t get much more right-wing without becoming Mussolini (or similar).

In the end, Twitter was attacked because - despite Musk’s claims to the contrary - it’s undeniable how much extremist right-wing content is favored. If you can’t see that, then you seriously need a reality check.

“Ideologues” are everywhere, and you are not exempt from their influence, either - it’s just a matter of whether you choose to listen to the ones that tell you what you want to hear, or the ones that are willing to risk losing their audience because they know telling the actual truth is far more important.

As far as I’m concerned, the more individual groups all reaching the same conclusions about Trump the better. The decentralized nature of the revolution will make it that much more difficult to contain.

How true. I find the only way I can feel relatively normal anymore is to try to tune out news of what’s happening in the world around me. Unfortunately, I’ve spent so much of my life paying attention that I find myself unable to hold onto that blissful ignorance for very long.

As an American who wound up going to a German elementary-level school for a couple years (granted, decades ago), trust me - they know & few are proud of it.

Fuck me - I’m still stuck on when to use “der,” “die,” or “das.”

That can only lead to dangerous places. Like The Three Stooges…

OP didn’t specify “human” life…

I’d normally let this go, but since the whole post is about being pedantic imma make an exception:

Here here

I’m afraid that’s actually "hear, hear.’

I’m aware of that, but I’m fairly certain the period’s kerning is the same whether the period is at the end of a sentence, or as part of an abbreviation. Therefore I think typeface designers tend to use a shorter spacing to be safe due to the differing use cases. I actually think roughly 1.5 spaces after a sentence is ideal length, but, yeah - we were taught to use double-spaces on typewriters since they’re monospaced.

Nah, that’d be the version of that without symbols, just straight digits.

I call it the “trying too hard” put-off. The harder you try to sell me on something, the more I’m sure I don’t want or need it.

I don’t care what they say, a single space after a period at the end of a sentence is NOT enough. Now get offa my lawn!

So, PinePhone is gonna be a mature project… when? Can’t be soon enough.
