Yeah, pretty lost on wtf justifies this reaction.
- Comment on How not to advertise 101! 15 hours ago:
This seems like a pretty extreme reaction to having something very basic pointed out.

That’s not what I’m doing and you’d have known that
That is literally, textually, what you have done. It clearly was not something you intended to do, but you still did it. You brought their ad copy into a place where it does not ordinarily reach. You even quoted them while doing it.
You might not like that you’ve done it, but no amount of quote replying can change that you’ve done something quite valuable for them.

glibly condescending and confidently wrong
Advertisers do want people exactly like you - people for whom their ads stick in the mind, and who will go around telling other people about their product. You might oppose them, as do most people here - but if any person reading this doesn’t hold the same lack of regard as you, or are put off by your behavior here, you’re actively giving them attention that results in a net positive.
Advertising is little more than corporate propaganda - and as the wise cat says, you’re not immune to propaganda.

That ad spot just paid off in that you’re sharing it with your community, though. I’d never heard of shopify until now.

Yeah, unfortunately without some true dedication home composters do not have enough fuel (or material balance) to hit the temps required to compost PLA. It works great if you’ve got a hot composter, if you’re interested in the DIY side of things, but generally you need several households worth of input (or as in my area, a community garden with shared composting) to be able to reliably decompose PLA.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 1 day ago:
PLA very much is compostable, but only in composting facilities designed to handle bioplastics (and additives like pigments likely aren’t compostable).

“crate engine” appears to have been the magic words I was after, thank you so much!!
- Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse 3 days ago:
no I got the metaphor - I mean specifically like, are replacement car engines a commonplace thing? Not being shitty that’d just be really convenient and I know next to nothing about cars.
- Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse 3 days ago:
Wait you can get new engines? Sorry I’m being sincere & my engine is dying - is this actually a thing or is it a convenient metaphor?

That’s more or less what we’ve been doing for decades - breeding, sterilizing and releasing screwworms by the million to curb the population. It works too - but Trump & Friends axed the program, and so now it’ll cost $1bil to start it back up again.

Translated:
“I agree wholeheartedly, and I’d further say that it’s not a phenomenon limited to Blackpink; most of the superfans of any K-pop group want to believe that they have a great deal in common with their favorite member of the group, and that said member got to their position of fame through hard work and talent alone. This results in an extremely one-sided relationship between performer and fans, where the fans feel a personal relationship with the performer where none does, or possibly could, exist”

Oh no, it’s way bigger than the bronies ever were. BTS ARMY (depending on estimates) either equals or exceeds the Swifties in size. It’s nuts.

I’m torn, on the one hand you have all the many many reasons this is a horrible plan. On the other, all by itself, is the alluring idea of never having to listen to a 16-year-old’s opinions on anything ever again…

Completely justified in both cases, the old baggage needs to learn to stop hoarding spuds and she should be watching her carb intake anyways.

Eeh, Great Freeze was an ecological disaster caused by sailor chaos. When Usagi is interred on the Silver Throne after revealing herself as Neo-Queen serenity, she restores the population to their rightful place on earth, then loses her daughter to time manipulation hijinks, which prompts her to ally with Sailor Mars embark on her great crusade to unite the Sailors and find her lost sons, accompanied by her loyal yet enigmatically powerful servant Mamodor…

To be fair, Usagi did go on to cure death and create a neo-socialist workers paradise while bloodlessly uniting all the people of earth…

To their credit not recently, but it’s all stuff like with this nazi email:
dailydot.com/parsec/gog-transphobic-joke
which are deeply tasteless but hypothetically just really dumb mistakes until they come in and clarify that that they knew what they were doing the whole time.
Even then it’s not unforgivable it’s just… really stupid and tone deaf. But the examples of them being really stupid and tone deaf keep piling up and it’s getting harder to overlook.
