Maybe something like this:

Oh they remember, they just:

Don’t care

Think modern technology means they can control it

Accessibility features make all our lives better, and I agree, it’s 100% an accessibility feature.

I prefer tap shift to run.

Don’t go in there, you don’t wanna end up like the Crack Fox!
- Comment on You hear a distant scream... 1 day ago:
Right, we all know the Final Day is when the Moon hits Termina. It’s a disaster through and through.
- Comment on Real ones will remember 1 day ago:
Coelacanth has entered the chat.
- Comment on The Slop Society 1 day ago:
Zitron knocking it out of the park, as usual.
I’m glad someone is pointing out that this is who Zuckerberg has always been.
Facebook literally started as a place to rate whether women on campus were “hot or not.”
He has always been misogynist heteronormative right-wing scum.
- Comment on You hear a distant scream... 2 days ago:
What’s really fucked up is that this is like the countdown to the purge.
Just this purge is only going to be “immigrants” which will probably end up including US citizens who happen to be latino.
- Comment on Am I the only one that think the new bitcoincash community is full of bots? 2 days ago:
All the accounts are from the same instance so it literally could be just the admin making all the accounts.
- Comment on Am I the only one that think the new bitcoincash community is full of bots? 2 days ago:
Rules say no ads but the moderator posts nothing but what amount to ads for bitcoin cash.
It’s thankfully its own instance, which we can block easily, and it has a really small user base so far, just 19 subscribers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all bots, especially since every single one is a user at @realbitcoin.cash. It would seem more organic if ANY of the posts by ANY of the users were from ANY other instance, but when they’re all on the same instance, it certainly feels like someone spun up an instance, made a lot of accounts, and just started posting with them all. It’s literally trivial to do if you run an instance.
- Comment on The quirks of being very imaginative and pessimistic I guess 2 days ago:
The thing I always try to remind myself of is that most people are too deeply wrapped up in their own lives to really be thinking about me or anyone else all that much to begin with, so whatever I am worried about is at least likely to just be me overthinking it.
- Comment on The Mummy is a masterpiece 2 days ago:
Scorpion King Approved.
- Comment on Good afternoon I'm here to make a parches of a slic. 2 days ago:
Since this is obviously a gas station, it is quite likely the person who made this sign speaks english as a second language.
Even if its their first language, working at a gas station often implies they don’t have the education or work history to work elsewhere.
Can we stop punching down?
After 30 years of the international internet I am pretty fuck sick of making fun of people who don’t speak English well.
It would be like going on RedNote and getting dogpiled for speaking Mandarin badly.
- Comment on How do I realistically get out of the US? 3 days ago:
Some countries are easier to get into than others. Start researching which ones have a path that could work for you.
Most are pretty strict but some are more open. If I recall correctly the Nordic countries may be a little easier, but don’t quote me on that. It’s been a long time since I accepted that this country had successfully trapped me here.

Mario is really excited about this development.

- Comment on What's making it into the good parts, my fellow philosoraptors? 6 days ago:
The creator of Veggie Tales is an odd duck. He has many good, open-minded positions, but he has just as many backwards ones, like when he complained of rising LGBT representation in children’s shows.
How do straight people always fail to realize that straight representation is the default so no one questions when children’s shows have boys and girls holding hands or kissing, even though it’s daily “shoving their straight sexuality down children’s throats.”
Anyway, I agree with this take, VeggieTales is probably the most positive, lease offensive, and least egregious modern interpretations of Christianity you can find.

Info from elsewhere on the net says its a photo from the X-Files series wrap party.
But the costumes on the X-Files were also bad.

The psychological value of some acts of forgiveness (not all, and forgiveness is not the same as trust).

Not meaning this in defense of Tiktok, but…
If Tiktok doesn’t push this kind of social divisiveness in their own country, it’s because they regulated it in their home country. They’re simply exploiting the fact that we have zero regulations in place, so they’re allowed to promote socially destructive content. Why wouldn’t they? It’s not like what they’re doing is materially different than what Xitter, Meta/Facebook, Reddit, and so on do. Honestly, it’s already happening at Bluesky because we have no rules and rely almost exclusively on site moderators enforcing social decorum rules.
The US government just doesn’t like it when it’s not their guys propagandizing and dividing the populace. They want to enjoy the fruits of that, not a foreign actor. The mask is truly off, they really do think their own poverty-striken citizens are the enemy. The government speaks out of both sides of its mouth about backdoors in encryption, with one part of the FBI saying you need to use encrypted services to safely communicate, and another part saying we need backdoors in encryption even though Salt Typhoon literally saw hackers exploit US telecom backdoors that which the hackers still persist in exploiting.

Trapped in this fucking anxious flesh-prison.
Matter sucks, we should all be made of pure energy.

What, I thought Scully was the reserved, introverted, bookish one?
The only reason Mulder doesn’t get pegged as an extrovert is because he can hardly hold together real human relationships.
