@iamcanehdian Which one are you on? Because this here instance does not seem to be replete with ads.

@gcblasing@mstdn.social Part of the problem is that we continue to treat wealth as an asset. Wealth makes people stupid. The wealthiest among us should be viewed not with respect but with contempt (until they stop regarding plebes thusly).

@linuxgal Sauron is so misunderstood. He was only trying to make the world safe for orcs, goblins, balrogs and uruk-hai. Voldemort, OTOH, he was a nazi.

@axios But what will the tip-credit wage be in those states? (Note that the west coast state do not allow tip credit, but employers figure out other means of wage theft.)

@akamran @dancinyogi My RX-7 had synchros: I could "move shifter" *without* the "push clutch" (at least, going from 3rd to 5th)

@Gargron No, the biggest danger they pose is that we computerize/network everyfuckingthing. Intelligence is not different from logic circuitry – we just have emo-chemistry to flavor it. AI could pose a real, physical danger because we let it.

@TheOldGuy Not a wise plan, when it becomes public: if soldiers believe surrender = death, they will just keep fighting instead of giving up

@LALegault @johnfugelsang @eilonwy … but at least he is not (apparently) doing the buns

@hapbt You just described how the USA became GREAT!

( well, and there was that part about not getting in the crossfire of WWII )

#abortion

The three great lies:

1: the check is in the mail

3: It's really about abortion
