That would have been true if legit crypto existed.

That’s not a problem. That’s the correct reaction.

Badum tish!

I’m quite scared of how AI apparently pushes people in favour of significantly stricter copyrights. This is not a good trend.

Not sure what having an account has to do with anything. I get the objection on the grounds of Meta being a shit company and it’s perfectly reasonable, but having to make an account specifically for the device (and possibly nothing else - you don’t have to link it to facebook or anything) doesn’t magically give them any more power over you.

It’s not for gaming and it’s not for porn… what were they thinking?

And there would be more people on the track.

Same in Czech. Nosit dříví do lesa.

For the second one we have “z hovna bič neupleteš” = you can’t weave a whip out of a shit.

If FOSS ever fails, it’s going to be because of ridiculously stupid pedantry like this.

Because fuck reddit.

I used to think abbreviation overuse was the result of things like SMS and twitter, but then I found out O. J. Simpson had a nickname “The Juice” long ago, so I guess it’s just an American thing.

Here’s the thing. You said a “red pandas are ursidae.” Are they in the same order? Yes. No one’s arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies red pandas, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls red pandas bears. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing. If you’re saying “bear family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of ursidae, which includes things from short-faced bears to dog bears to giant pandas. So your reasoning for calling a red panda a bear is because random people “call the cuddly ones bears?” Let’s get raccoons and koalas in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A red panda is a red panda and a member of the ailuridae family. But that’s not what you said. You said red pandas are ursidae, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the carnivora order bears, which means you’d call cats, dogs, and other mammals bears, too. Which you said you don’t. It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

“Could not stop them from reproducing”

That’s stupid stupid stupid! Love it.

I just hope they cast Stallone as you-know-who.

This is why I’d actually really like to hear a live performance of John Cage’s 4’33.

I really should join up one of these days. Used to read the front page every day for a looong time, but never joined the forums because I couldn’t pay online (and was broke af).

I’m guessing it feels a bit like a slice of old internet?

So you’ll be returning there tomorrow?

Yeah, I remember watching all of this live, but that was years ago. Then wsb started posting nothing but tweets by some Cohen guy and that’s where I lost all interest.

I’m kinda assuming the whole thing blew over and nobody had to face any consequences at all, because reality sucks, and because any win for the wsb folks would be repeated by them everywhere ad nauseam.
