This feels tantalizingly close to the truth.

lol

What the fuck are “unregretted user minutes”? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.

And twitter. And mastodon. And lemmy ffs, we’re not immune. (I’m doing it right now, in fact.)

You’re going to get to! That’s what they will actually be doing if the class action lawsuits don’t crash them.

Art doesn’t need to know this answer that badly. This fucking guy has taken

• dilaudid
• morphine
• opium
• nitrous
• pcp
• meth
• lighter fluid, by huffing
• cough syrup at a dose of “two bottles”

I don’t even know what a few of these things are, and I’m not going to look up and see how crazy the doses on everything else are, but based on the ones I do know I can only conclude that this guy is trying to kill himself.

And he’s succeeding, from the sound of it.

You’re asking this in a community that’s specifically about doing piracy. Pretty hard to take your question seriously in this context.

Because as a society we’ve forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people

Am I wrong in thinking the original tweet was a joke? Adding the mac speech bubble is just saying “no, fuck your joke, this is my joke now”

Of course you understand some dog barks, you just don’t think about it because humans process language innately, we have specialized brain structures for it.

I’ll bet you can recognize “I see a threat” and 'I’m in pain" when you hear them. Maybe even distinguish them from “happy excitement”

and i figured you’d read what i actually wrote instead of arguing with someone who didn’t exist

Yes, I know all that. The argument I was replying to was that you run out of trees if you use them to make paper without recycling. That argument is false. You’re arguing with points I didn’t make.

No, this isn’t solved by having a whole forest available when you scale up the consumer side too.

You’re seriously underestimating how many trees there are. The only reason we’re losing forest is because of grazing land. That’s clearcutting, where you remove the tree and just destroy it or just burn the whole forest. As a vegetarian I’m obviously not here to defend grazing land, but if you look only at wood and paper production, we absolutely can replace the trees we use with enough time for them to regrow completely.

Doing so devastates ecosystems by turning them into monocultures, but you’re only talking about the replacement rate of trees. We don’t have to worry about the replacement rate of trees, we have to worry about greed for land and environmental impact.

After reading the caption I had to look at the picture several times to convince myself it was not, in fact, Ben Shapiro in a garfield costume

why not just let lose of this crippling desire to align ourselves with some historical identity

Fair enough. Counterpoint: It doesn’t freaking matter what word we use. No matter what the word is, the right will attempt to poison it and stir hatred of it and assign meanings to it that aren’t real. Look at what happened to “woke”. It will keep happening, because the modern right is Fascism, and poisoning language is a fascist tactic that goes back to the very beginning. You call yourself an Anarchist; where on Earth do you live that nobody has negative associations with “Anarchist”.

Use whatever word you want, just use it consistently. Don’t expect it to stay free of propaganda, because they do that to our words on purpose.

New sapiosexual kink just dropped

Not the plant you think, though.

Ideas for the new logo? I think he should go with a black-red motif, with lots of right angles.

That’s why they call me Dollar Bill. Because I have one.

I’m confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?

Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that’s completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it’s just DNS that has changed.

(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there’s no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)
