  The real amazing part: That oinky-boy was clearly being a bit of a bother(right on) and the cop didn’t just shoot it in the yard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lucky, these days some filter deletes my resume before a human being even looks at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wait, I was dealing with a different person iver a similar, but distinct, issue. Carry on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t really matter, if they want to censor it that shouldn’t bother anyone except the people who’s a halfway well-adjusted member of society. It’s not some commentary on the death of free speech to opt to censor out a slur, chill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not at all what’s happening here. It’s completely unrelated to the story and the story wasn’t posted in order to draw attention it the word choice.

  You seem to have your own thing going on, you good?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public urged to get flu vaccine as hospitalisation rates rise steeply⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys pay for flu vaccines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If people weren’t so bad about seeing shitty things and then repeating them anyway then I’d probably agree with you more. It’s also not a freedom of speech thing since hatespeech(which includes slurs) is not protected in most places and it’s weird of you to bring it up at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least the latter is more of a self-label. The former is just nonsense for the sake of it, especially when “normie” already exists and is popular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be convinced of that. I still want flay a couple of them, though. People like Elon just need to be fucking erased, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Met a homeless guy once who had had his jaw broken over some change. Even he was able to go to the hospital to get fixed up. It didn’t solve his myriad other problems but at least even he could get that taken care of.

  Any system which would have turned him away should be burned to the ground and the people who built said system should have the flesh flayed from their bones, slowly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You still have to commit to an actual decision when the times come. Adjusting each cycle is what everyone should be doing, knowing that each person will likely stay where they’re at because why wouldn’t they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5x Evolutionary Winner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But is the mantis shrimp just a one trick pony? What’s the breakdown on general feasibility versus specialization? Or is the mantis shrimp truly the secret weapon that crabs wish they were?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨back to the ocean we go⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our inner ears used to be part of the more complex jaws of something before us, if I remember correctly. I think there’s an arrow on the image showing it. Real cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The **Most open** Operating System"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Calibri isn’t strong enough in it’s convictions to be Helvetica. It can’t even offer a fight against the hard utilitarianism of Arial. It’s rounded corners and varying thickness show up terribly on anything but the highest resolution screens, where it still isn’t good, and it makes me feel the same way that CRT monitors did when I put my hand up to them. You know the feeling, that crusty, fuzzy, buzzy feeling that you swear you could taste.

  A nasty font, it can absolutely go fuck itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use Gmail, and in fact my email isn’t attached to any big company. I know you couldn’t have known that but still.

  So now you want to shift all this content onto poorly funded public libraries? Do you have any idea how difficult all that would be? Do you have any idea how much content is on Youtube? And that’s not to mention how much bandwidth a person would need to be able to send out the content they’re hosting to tens of thousands of people at once.

  You’re living in a dreamland. Other options can start these things from scratch but Youtube is not about to make their system infinitely more complex and unreliable just for you and the small handful of other people who are high on their tiny corner of the internet. You’re asking me to think and you haven’t done the bare basics of it yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok so you use Youtube and just think it should be free because…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you don’t want it to keep existing(use of ad blocker because you don’t pay for it) but still use it because you…don’t like it? There’s always Nebula if you want to make a point, but not if your point is that you’re an entitled little weirdo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You responded to my comment about being ok with paying to not get ads by saying that one ad every thirty minutes would be too much for this service you just expect to get for free. It’s not a necessary utility, deal with it.

  No amount of reading comprehension on my end will make up for the lack of it on yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, and while I don’t use it you also get Youtube Music bundled in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pound the nails out so they’re back on their side. Harmless, but gets the point across(maybe).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Youtube has been free for so long that people forget that hosting all those videos costs money. They’ll pay for so many streaming services but if you make Youtube anything but a free, ad-free paradise they lose it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro I don’t speak German but yea sure, I believe you. That does sound pretty shit, and I’d be pretty pissed if that happened, yea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How to operate without money? Hosting countless hours of high-quality video on demand and streaming it to your computer at highspeed? Are you high?

  I had never heard of Peertube before your comment and it sounds great! It also puts a lot on the content creator, though, and regardless of whether Youtube should follow that model or not how would you expect them to make that change? Just suddenly tell every creator that they must start self-hosting? Genius, that’ll go over so well!

  Peertube themselves are saying that they don’t want to replace Youtube, simply to offer alternatives and choice(which I’m cool with).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get any commercials now and I use it for all kinds of stuff from educational videos to hours and hours of things like D&D streams. It’s all worth it.

  You pay nothing for it and complain about commercials. I don’t want to go shilling for corporations but whining about Youtube paying the bills is just sad, bud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it is a service, not a favour. Keep up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I ended up paying for it because, frankly, expecting Youtube to be completely free and fighting how it could be paid for is kinda crazy. We’re just used to it being free but running Youtube is expensive. I watch hours of Youtube nearly every day and don’t use Crunchyroll nearly as much so why am I ok paying for that but not Youtube?

  Yes, if they do actually start pushing ads then I’m going to wonder what the hell I’m paying for but for the time being I’m ok with paying for a service. I only started paying for it recently, to be fair, but I get it.

  Damn she’s a always gunna be a fucking looney, and let’s not forget about the things she did before getting elected to public office, but fuck at least she can clear the very low bar of not being ok with hiding the rapists on her team.
