@tantramar@nojack.easydns.ca don't get me started on the semi-colon cancer

Narrator voice: "When threatened, the lithium-ion battery can expand up to twice its usual size"

A group called Moms for Liberty wants to ban "offensive" books. Something about that sentence confuses me.

@jeffowski in Canada you'd probably be in the center. "Far left" in the US seems to be anyone with any of their humanity still intact

@fkamiah17@toot.wales The smartest people in the world are the ones who can see their intellectual boundaries and listen to other people about what is beyond them. One person's vision almost always has serious flaws.

That said, if you heard it from a Tory, that is probably not how they meant it. It was just an excuse for doing nothing – excuses do not pay the rent.

@uspolitics I am furious that this worthless fuckwad is getting air at all. He makes a firm statement and finishes it with gibberish. He cannot even be arsed to lie or obfuscate, he just burbles. This has to fucking stop, now. Just shut the guy down.

@realTuckFrumper Why do you feel a need to post one more picture f him? Are we not weary of seeing that festering gob?

"I'm upset about abortions"
"Let's fund sex ed, contraceptives and health care for pregnant women, it will cause the number of abortions to decline dramatically."
"NO. Send the women & doctors to jail."

"I'm upset people jump the turnstyle"
"Let's properly fund the subway and make it free and faster while reducing overhead."
"NO. I want those bad teens ARRESTED."

"This dreary area under the bridge is DISGUSTING."
"Let's clean it up & install a public restroom."
"NO. Arrest people for pooping"

@dgar What was that movie called, "It's a Feature's Life" ?

Dear YKWYA,

Yeah, it used to be shocking, absurd, even cute. But you obviously realize how stupid you are being. It has become tiresome. Like a toddler crying for attention. We are done with it, so just knock it off, all of you.

Or, you know, you can FTFO.

Sincerely,
— rational people

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

People who say of Nazis “the way you deal with bad ideas is by defeating them in the marketplace of ideas” are offering assumptions that a) Nazi ideas have not already been defeated on the merits, and are still valid and worthy to consider; b) Nazis will promote their ideas in bloodless debate.

@RichPuchalsky@kolektiva.social @georgetakei Not all police officers are bad. However, the decent ones who fail to step forward and say "that officer did wrong" are no better than that one who did wrong and can just FTFO. I will let you know if I hear about a brave officer – it has been a lengthy search.

@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)
