  No need for /s because that’s exactly how it works.

  “If you hate the right people and say the right things, you are Good People, and Good People can’t do no wrong. If you’re not one of the Good People, you can do no right. Laws and rationalizations are there to punish those that are not Good People.”

  Funny how this is a Twitter post as half of all satellites orbiting earth (5581 out of 11300) are owned by Musk.

  And at worst send death threats if somebody else posts things not to their liking, because freeze peach.

  Because I use the only one that I can remember.

  It’s why the EU voted in regulations today against single use packaging despite howls of protest from the fast food industry.

  And remove daylight saving time. Now I have to explain that yes, the report is correct and there were in fact 25 hours on that day.

  Or you’d make every season and quarter just three months and one week. Seems easy enough to work with.

  Like wearing a muscle suit under your clothes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant Bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a USA thing. Other places often have rules that say the price advertised (on menu, website, in store) is the price the customer pays, all fees and taxes included.

  A French women got an English tattoo. The two sentences were full of your/you’re and it’s/its mistakes.

  A landlord was being shitty to someone and it was clear he wouldn’t get his deposit back no matter what, so when the renter moved, he took everything. Meaning he unscrewed the plugs from the wall and took those with him, took the toilet seat and so on. Play stupid games, win stupid prices I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are all made of carbon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Negative, you are 65% oxygen, so in effect hot air. 18.5% is carbon, 10% is hydrogen.

  Or by molecules, you are mostly water.

  And by those metrics, the average vehicle exhaust from a year of driving contains as much carbon and oxygen as 300 humans.

  Disruptions are in the near future. Energy systems are changing, climate change is going to wreck things, wannabe dictators starting wars and others. Usually one of those isn’t a problem but a lot of those at the same time wrecked past civilizations. But you can’t predict how it’ll all turn out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do they also know C++ or Python?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If history is anything to go by, the English speaking world runs into some trouble. Nothing much new comes out in English while somebody else becomes dominant in research and publishes in their language. That’s getting picked up in academia and politics and if anyone wants to be up to date, they learn that language. The other language now starts to distribute their movies exposing more people who pick up that language and spreading from there.

  Sure, that can take a few generations. It’s not like everybody just decided to switch right now

  Italians (Latin) and Greeks were salty before them. And the Anglo-Saxons will be salty when Chinese, Indian or an African language becomes the new lingua franca. That’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are Rules for Rulers. In the background there are always nobels, clergy, bankers, businessmen, military and the common folk each with their own demands and reasons to pressure or remove the ruler of their demands are not met.
