You had me in the first half, appealing to my desire to have empathy. You had me in the second half, on the floor laughing.

Pure democracy = rule of the stupid because there’s more of them.

Came here to say this. X is doing worse than Reddit.

I know this kind of post is not supposed to be taken seriously, but they’re so haphazard and forced that I don’t find them funny. I’m getting sick of these billions of poorly-thought-out “moral + lawful alignment” charts for things that have little to no morality or lawfulness attached, trying to tell us what kind of person we are if we do what, and being wildly off-the-mark. For this one and most others, most of the entries are “lawful good/neutral”, because they are valid and effective ways to protect your fucking bread, done by someone who sees it important to do so. If you really want to start categorizing the way tons of different people do shit, find a more appropriate format.

Yes, I would also like to know about this Larry Ellison.

It’s almost as if stocks are a really shitty way to get rich from nothing.

Well for one, a person who isn’t serious.

Pretty much. This is a dumb question.

Why would that be a troll? Even if their opinion is wrong, it’s still an opinion. Being wrong doesn’t make one a troll. I am pretty sick to death of people calling everything “trolling”.

I got banned from a great, progressive sci-fi and fantasy writing community for several dumb reasons similar to each other, one of them being I said Wikipedia and the entire internet said “guys” and “dude” are gender-neutral. (And yes, it was a great community. Nothing’s perfect though.) Also for suggesting that maybe one day we’ll be progressive enough to have a dedicated non-binary pronoun instead of “they”— at the least so my novel-writing is less confusing when multiple parties are addressed. The admins claimed I was talking in “anti-trans rhetoric”. Hilariously, I have trans and non-binary protagonists in my novel, and everyone there knew it. My best friend also moved from another state to become my housemate, and she is MtF trans.

…International Phonetic Alphabets?

Even without the politics of it all (which are good), Firefox is flexible and customizable. Chromium is an ugly, inflexible piece of shit from 2006 that relies on the same bloated list menus and doesn’t really let you do anything with it. Come at me, Chrome fanboys.

I’m guessing this phrase is sarcasm, satire, and/or mocking conservatives/republicans/racists? I’ve heard it before but I forget

But why is Barack Obama milking cows.
