  Completely unrelated, but Simple Sabotage Field Manual was a fun little read.

  I think the problem is that, at some point, the powers that be decided that “better” is synonymous with “more appended zeroes”. We (and presumably any society) could ostensibly have kept growing indefinitely, provided we agreed that the ever-increasing personal wealth of the few (to the detriment of the many) does not constitute growth.

  I think what Jeff is pointing out is that it isn’t uncommon for someone to be misinterpreted as a misogynist and, when called out, decide to lean into the misogyny rather than away, even if it wasn’t their original intention. In this instance, it’s a miscommunication that the OP handled in a way that made me laugh out loud, but I think Jeff is right, that there are also people who, in the same situation would have responded something to the effect of “I was talking about her vision. Maybe if you women weren’t all so [insert twitter-typical misogyny here]”, etc etc. Obviously that isn’t what happened here, but it has been known to.

  Can you ask her to write a tutorial on how to enjoy getting ate out pls, cuz I can suck dick all day long, but the second there’s a face anywhere near my twat, I’m instantly closed for business. And I know my husband wants to too, I just… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  The genre of pop music was built off using instrumentation and song structures common in popular music, hence the name. Not sure why this is confusing, but I’m also not interested in talking to you anymore, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sales =/= quality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying that all pop music is actually popular, I’m saying that the origin of the term “pop music” is “popular music”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sales =/= quality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It literally does stand for popular music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sales =/= quality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say “ew less than 100k listens” will also say they’re not into pop music. Wondering what they think “pop” is short for lmao

  Or it was her ex-husband’s most prized possession and her lawyer is actually an absolute unit.

  It’s not a “Very Online” take, it’s a “paying any modicum of attention” take. Willful ignorance is not a valid excuse for anything, and if your boss truly thinks of Elon Musk (the richest man in the world who has bought elections and media platforms and every American’s social security number) the same way that you think of some random hockey player, then your boss is being willfully ignorant. It’s giving “i’M nOt pOLiTiCaL”, which we all know is just cowardese for “conservative”.

  If they ever get around to adding drawer tabs, I’ll happily make the swap. Until then Kvaesisto is a decent alternative (unless you’re the sort who likes having lots of icons on home screen; nothing wrong with that, of course, but Kvaesisto doesn’t really have a way to do it).

  Makes the legs look longer.
