  If they don’t already, they will. The insatiable desire for profit means that even if you paid them $1000 a month for their dogshit rag, they’d sell your data to make $1001 dollars.

  Regulations are the only answer and they have to be both enforced and punished heavily enough to not make it worth risking.

  Oh look you’re dumb as fuck when it comes to women’s bodies too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't find a good match⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t it cool how many red flags he managed to sneak into that one sentence?

  The fact that he used the word “clandestine” makes it sound like he convinced himself she must have a secret dildo she was using to destroy her genitals, because a 13 year old boy told him that’s how vaginas work and he never grew out of it.

  It’s really easy to imagine him being the problem. He decides she has a secret horse dildo hidden away somewhere, accuses her of it repeatedly and when she tells him to fuck off, decides she is “cluster b” for having reasonable reactions.

  4chan will not help this person.

  It was true before the internet too, there was just less opportunities to witness it because you didn’t interact with thousands of strangers at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questionable methods.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Read the damn article before commenting.

  You, 46 minutes ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questionable methods.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so you’re not upset, but still didn’t bother to find the answers for him.

  Let’s just say you did decide to answer him though, what would be the very first thing you step you’d take? Would it be “type those questions into a search engine”?

  I understand asking questions when answers might be complex or you’re actively involved in a conversation with someone knowledgeable, but I’m tired of this deliberate helplessness on social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questionable methods.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You also could have done that, but you chose to get upset about me not doing it instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon revisits early youtube⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a cycle we all go through. My “when the internet was good” was when long-form text content ruled, before memes and videos took over. The kids of today will fondly remember the deep fried memes and TikToks from before the human race became functionally extinct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨histories mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if this is a hypothesis with any level of acceptance

  Unless an actual record is found describing what they were used for, it’s all just guesses anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recognize the mother of Wifi⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like plenty of context to me. The CSIRO invented something that changed the world, back before neoliberals cut their funding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon factory resets⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that it doesn’t reach that incredibly obvious conclusion just makes me even more skeptical. He specifically says he’s straight now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon factory resets⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It pushes the old bullshit idea that gay people can be “cured” with the right straight sex, which was extremely popular with homophobes in the 80s and 90s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon factory resets⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably just a bullshit story to encourage gay people back into the closet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If we actually followed the “your gender identity is mildly inconvenient to me so should be banned” crowd and made everything unambiguously gendered, language would become far more awkward.

  “If someone calls and I’m not there, tell him or her that he or she can leave a message”.

  We could start doing this right now – every time they he or she use uses the word “they”, insist they he or she repeats themselves himself or herself in a way that leaves no gender ambiguity…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The data is in: Return to Office policies don't improve employee performance or company value, but controlling bosses don't care⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. They’ll claim “it’s just business” when they need to lay off half their workers and squeeze anyone left twice as hard but when it’s something upsetting to them, all the studies in the world won’t convince them to loosen their leashes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know but it would be very like Valve to put zero effort into ensuring it’s not manipulated.

  That said, most large polls trend much more mainstream than people expect.

  Starfield may have been a bold new frontier in mediocrity but it nevertheless had about 2 million more chances to be someomes favorite game compared to some indie title.
