Conservatives lie in their very word choices.

“Somebody pointed out I was wrong about something” = propaganda

“Conservatives lost” = it wasn’t fair

Stuff like that. Take the opportunity to talk about things in ways that leave the reader understanding more clearly when you see lying word choices like the ones in this screencap.

Cruelty is a weak person’s desperate attempt at looking (not even being) strong.

And neither one works.

The nastier he becomes, the weaker he is.

I bet the fediverse wouldn’t censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn’t a bitch.

There’s nothing to discuss. It’s the Gulf of Mexico, and suggestions to the contrary are to be appropriately dismissed as childish.

Aa a side note, make sure that, no matter what, you find a way to follow “Gulf of” with “Mexico”. It should flow by rote in the hearer’s mind, simply by virtue of the fact that they hear it the correct way when you talk about it.

This is a trivially easy battle to fight. Only use the correct name, and it will be the one that sticks. Using the incorrect name, even to make correct statements about how it’s dumb and childish and not going to be its name going forward, reinforces the lie.

Mexico is the Gulf-of-havin’est thing you ever did see.

Be tired with Tuta!

Covid. People are still pretending there’s no pandemic in 2024.

Bitch-ass move.

Great article, because it applies to anyone who reads it.

Aw, I remember Facebook.

I guess getting genocided makes it more likely to commit one yourself.

Maybe Palestinians will be the genocidal cunts in the year 2104 if this pattern holds. Weird to think about.

They did not fail spectacularly with Fallout 4. They didn’t even fail.

I am willing to compromise at “muted success”, but no more.

Speaking of Fallout, do Fallout 1 and 2 have any proper spiritual successors? I’d love to play one!

We’ve had the plan for taking back the word laid out for a long time.

No bar so low he won’t limbo under it.

If I said “come over for free beer” I don’t know that I could get 50 people in a day.

What fucking scene is this dude plugged into that he got 50 "yes"s to “hey how’s about a nice rape?”

As fucked up as Israel’s actions are, it’s important to remember they’re surrounded by countries who want to do to them what they’re doing to Gaza. Israel kicks all their butts, in no small part because of the US. They’ve developed a real Mexican drug cartel “I’ll cut all your familys’ heads off in front of you if you mess with me” vibe, and you can see why.

And doing that creates terrorists, and you can see why.

Thank you thank you thank you for posing this question.

This is the biggest issue by far with open source stuff in general, and as a non-programmer who wants to use more and more of it, user unfriendliness hamstrings so much.

I don’t know the answers but I can tell you for a fact that if open source in general is serious about broader adoption, this needs to be occupying 50% of everybody’s open source discussion time, at least.

What I know is the standard “fuck you read my 19 pages of 1s and 0s” is the wrong answer.

Maybe good design is just really hard. I don’t know, I’ve never tried to do it. Seems like the sort of thing that might take three thousands iterations.

Maybe Lindsay “no joy in real life” Graham is so joyless because of all the JD Vance-sponsored school shootings.

They know they’re gonna lose (because you’re all gonna FUCKING VOTE) so this is where the action is–stopping the traitorous republican coup.

And ideally, punishing it appropriately afterwards.

Oh hey a 15-year-old headline.

Yeah, walking out would be more reserved for “why are you wearing that mask, don’t you know the pandemic is over?” or “don’t get (that vasectomy/your tubes tied, I know that you’ll change your mind later”.

Just basic science denial shit, or shoving somebody else’s culture down your throat while trying to pretend it’s compassion. Stuff that no competent doctor would do in the first place.
