We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere

Herd animals gonna herd animal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They’re game devs, not an acquisition and mergers team. “We signed contract to do business with xyz terms” should be plenty reliable enough for conducting business. Not “Lol, whut? You didn’t read the fine print? Psyche! We’re changing everything.”

Unity deserve to get sued into oblivion for this

You have to wonder if we aren’t just confirming what the Great Filter is. There may not be any space faring civilizations.

YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south

Yeah I’m absurdly good at not speaking in my native Appalachian accent, opting instead for a sort of “generic midwest.” Unless I’m tawking to ma day-ed-dy, n’ then all bets is awf."

My sister and I cover so well and so often that none of her four children who are literally being raised in Charleston, West Virginia has even a trace of our accent.

This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book

Oh man, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite used book seller:

Also, construction leftovers on eBay are a great way to get sink faucets, light fixtures, etc. for a house.

Those complaints originated in TERF circles

Oh, I’m sure she’s still very pro-LGB. Most TERFs are (for now at least). It’s the T part of the equation that they think it’s acceptable to hate

No this is different, actually. The other event is the hypothesized genetic bottleneck triggered by the Toba supervolcano eruption only 74,000 years ago as opposed to 900,000 years ago for this newly proposed event.

I only have WhatsApp because I have so many non-American friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dragged my mom and sister over to using it, and everyone has been warned that the second I see Meta trying to monetize it, I’m going to whine until they all move to Signal (which has pretty much identical functionality.)

Malala Yousafzai is a famous activist for education of young girls who the Taliban attempted to murder for her activism. Hence her comment “Boo 👎” on this young girl’s post about skipping classes.

Young girl is just shocked she got called out by a famous person.

Yes. Literally.

If the carbon is in my body, it’s not in the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. Checkmate, atheists
