Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.

They’re aiming for that last one.

Ah. I’ve had a lot of fun in Sea of Thieves. It was hella fun on launch, albeit quite unfortunately lacking in content. I’ve heard it’s gotten much better since, basically a different game altogether now.

Not at all, if anything I feel affirmed. He seems like a really cool guy. A shame he keeps getting shafted.

I mean it’s in the name; they’re cocks that live on roaches.

sh is a retroflex sibilant whereas x is an alveolo-palatal sibilant. They are both sibilants so they have a shared quality, but indeed “xitter” and “shitter” doesn’t sound quite the same.

Musk, verb. To take something functional and turn it into literal shit.

“Wow! We had such a good thing going, too. Can’t believe he musked all over this project!”

That’s nothing! My dog turns water to piss. He’s clearly the second coming.

Oh yeah, I’m in touch with the staff there, and other people who have adopted from the rescue. They’re doing great work. They sometimes have events and meetups, even here in my country.

My sestra is my adopted sister.

I would, but it’s the only way I can keep in touch with the rescue my dog came from, and the most convenient way to keep in touch with my sestra.

Best thing is how Facebook loves to shove those posts in your face.

“REMEMBER THIS POST FROM 2011???”

No, I didn’t, and I don’t appreciate the reminder.

I’ve never heard someone conflating caret and carrot before, but I’ll be calling these carrot from now on. That’s so funny.

Going out on a limb here but I think it’s because of the portrayal of the house elves. A subjugated people who everyone said was better off in slavery, and the notion of emancipating them is ridiculed. Some people write it off as a coincidence, but there sure is a lot of these coincidences, like how the entire wizarding world’s economy is run by hook-nosed evil creatures, that even conspired with the dark lord for their own gains.

That’s true either way with where we’re at. That’s why we call for drastic actions to be taken

So what exactly is the end goal for these drastic actions?

You still need an extension to automatically open specific sites in their own containers. I genuinely don’t get why.

I swapped back to Firefox a couple of months ago. I am of the opinion that all browsers ought use the same engine, but Google shouldn’t be given more of a chokehole on the web than they already have. It’s troubling enough as it is.

That said, Firefox not supporting basic things like selectively turning off JS for websites, or vertical tabs without using wonky and inelegant third party extensions (and ui-chrome editing!) is honestly ridiculous.

Given that they’re anti-humanity, it seems like a logical step.

That’s a decades long process. We need proper action done within this decade.

We don’t know that. If it turns out that the actual ECS value is higher than predicted we’re already fucked because whatever faction we might take today should’ve already been taken decades ago. If a global humanitarian crisis is mere decades away, no changes we’ll feasibly make today or in the near future will stave it off.

You’d be surprised how many people would take that over a ride with other people.

An alternative is also that those who can, do their job remotely. Covid proved the feasibility of that. You couldn’t pay me enough to start commuting or doing my own grocery runs again. I only go outside for enjoyment and none of it involves vehicles. Unless said vehicle is a bicycle, because my dog really enjoys cycling.

It even starts with the simple fact that people are simply not willing to get rid of their cars, even if public transport was good and completely free. So you’d be left with enforcing people not to drive, which is obviously also not going to happen for the same reasons.

Induced demand can work in reverse. Stop expanding roads. Redesignate some lanes to public transport only. Why take the car and sit in a queue for 2 hours when a bus can get you to work in 30 minutes without any queues?

I mean the ones that think that trans people shouldn’t have human rights also tend to be the ones who don’t believe in climate change so…
