/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • I wish I was in a place with my learning where I could actually sit down with a book and only look up very third word.

    That's how people used to learn languages and it worked pretty well for them I guess? 🤷‍♀️

  • Yeah, I'll just commit myself to doing something now, instead of putting it off until I forget about it.

    🫠

  • I think lawmakers are having an easy time accepting bribes from AI companies, actually. The pace is only a problem because they are being paid to slow down.

    The courts are more interesting, because they actually have to make decisions instead of just deliberating forever.

  • Supposedly, copyright needs to be defended or it is lost. It would never happen, but it'd be interesting if the companies allowing data scrapers and chatbots to violate their IP actually destroyed their own claim to copy right protections.

  • Been without a car for the past week, just riding my ebike 17-18 miles to work. Daytime wasn't so bad, but one night was so cold I had to turn around and wait at the factory until 3rd shift got off at 6:30 am so someone could take me home.

    I really need to change my fking name, being sir'd in emails and over the phone because of my driver's license and insurance and shit just added to the stress of not having a car.

    But! Got approved for credit for my repair, got a loaner from the repair place, things might be looking up?

    At least I like riding my bike, even if it's still kinda bent out of shape from when I was hit by a car years ago.

  • Three is a powerful magical number, so the third 13th should be extra spooky!

  • Cheers to having very masculine middle names. ✊

  • It seems most Democrats want to play with the toys when it's their turn, they don't want to throw them away.

  • Different circumstances obviously, but parallels to Renée Good; women who talk back get shot.

  • For a long time the claim was that it's only terrorism when non-state actors do it. If a state does it, it's not terrorism by definition.

    Then the loyal dogs in the EU declared in January that an official branch of Iran's own military is a terrorist organization, so I guess the old definition is defunct. It basically just means "outlaw" or "designated bad guy" rather than having a real definition.

  • The "I don't know why you're laughing" moment was 🤌

  • I bet that's why Gallup isn't doing approval numbers anymore - the numbers they were getting were so bad that they knew it would provoke backlash from Trump.

  • Refusing to seat winners will make a lot of people realize we have entered the cool zone.

  • It's not weird at all, they just don't like competition.

  • We've been calling magnesium hydroxide "milk of magnesia" for 150 years. This isn't some new, confusing thing.

  • Liberation day has been canceled. 😞

  • I'm begging liberals, think farther than one (1) presidential election into the future.

    Elect the lesser evil now, by the time elections come around everyone hates him and they vote for the other guy. Then it repeats, the greater evil gets elected, everyone hates him, and so the lesser evil gets their turn. Over and over until we're all dead.

  • You can see what they show you. I don't see a reason to assume they aren't just lying to your face. Social media makes it easier to lie, but it was always possible to lie in person. With the carnivore diet, if they're drinking orange juice in secret you'd never know.

    The ones that end up in the hospital were telling the truth.

  • The real complication is the militia. Chavez and Maduro armed and politicized the masses, undoing that will be extremely difficult for any right-wing government. That's how civil wars start, and civil war serves the empire just as well as colonization does.

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
