A beheading

I wouldn’t trust any administration with this ability, but especially not the current one.

Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations.

Sympathies, Grok. A lot of humans have that same issue.

They’re walking the fine line between being shitty enough that you have to refine your search multiple times (thus allowing them to show you more ads), but not being SO shitty that you give up and never come back.

I’ve always wondered - what is the difference between a gacha game and ANY game with microtransactions? What is it that puts gacha games in a class by themselves?

I’m so fucking glad I never made a facebook account. Even years ago I saw it as an unnecessary annoyance; I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten since.

Just calling it like I see it. I’m sure everyone’s experience is different.

There’s also no rule or technical limitation that prevents you from joining several different instances, with the same (or different) username.

If your experience is like mine when I ditched reddit, it’ll take a few months for the learned defensiveness and self-editing to wear off. People seem more mature here (except for our sense of humor) and I’ve found less trolling and sealioning.

The interface quality is down, but the quality of content is way, way up. It more than makes up the difference.

Donnie isn’t a good boy. He keeps shitting on everything, and barks constantly.

You’re welcome. Threads can be a confusing read when they change over time.

An above post, which has since been deleted by the author, said something about drunk driving. I had that in mind when replying. Drunk driving seems like alcohol abuse to me, but merely being drunk at a house party does not.

Totally unhelpful. You’re talking to an individual who is trying to understand human behavior, not someone who’s personally responsible for their country’s actions.

I choose to imagine that she’s not that kind of person anymore, nobody was hurt, and now takes alcohol abuse seriously. Her close friends are giving her some good-natured shit about what an idiot she used to be.

Depending on what she was arrested for, this could be a fucking hilarious gift.

World has appealed the decision and has asked regulators to provide judicial clarity on whether the processes and, in particular, the Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) deployed by World Network meet the legal definition for anonymisation in the EU.

So… their legal defense is sealioning?

A non-invitation is worth a non-gift.

I want to tell myself that this is a work in progress, but I suspect it’s the completed job.

That’s what the butane torch and scrap metal are for. Real men cauterize their wounds and keep working.
