“And a hearty fuck you to the dregs of digital society who do real harm and believe themselves above responsibility, beyond accountability. You aren’t.”

This quote is absolute gold.

I remember laughing at the screenshot of that! It was great!

And thanks!

Anyone wanna fill me in on what Dalimey did?

There’s a good chance I’ve already read about it, and just don’t remember who to credit it to, but still.

Thanks! 👍

Could you post a bigger version? I can’t see it very well on my phone.

I think we should adopt this phrase for posts/comments that don’t live up to the “be(e) nice” standard. Example: “I understand that you’re upset, but that comment is all bee and no haw.”

Ooh, I didn’t consider that. Good point!

I don't like beehaw and how your mods act like children.

This is such a classic example of projection. The mods have to step in when users act like children. They’re not the problem.

I don’t listen to tech podcasts at all, but now that you mention it, the concept seems odd to me, too. Tech involves objective facts, scientific reasoning, and logic, which are three things I definitely don’t associate with modern conservatism.

I am both disappointed and unsurprised.

If I wasn’t so busy laughing at him, I’d be embarrassed on his behalf.

Is Musk acting more and more juvenile because he can’t deal with the fact that he’s in his early fifties now?

Thank you for putting your own mental health first. The loud minority of assholes can be emotionally exhausting. I like Beehaw the way it is, and that takes effort. I am VERY grateful!

Wow. That was extremely well put. It’s hard to deliver a critique on such a sensitive topic without sounding judgmental, but you managed it perfectly.

Thank you for including the video, as well! It really helped illustrate your point.

Interesting. I’m glad I came across your comment.

I usually like Pixar, but I haven’t seen the movie. From the commercials, I thought it looked like a boring, generic, fish-out-of-water/“opposites attract” type story that’s tired, unoriginal, and overdone. Sure, it would be animated well, because Pixar, but ugh. No thanks.

It’s good to know that the movie is better than the marketing suggests. Now I think I’ll actually give it a chance!

It wasn’t until my late 20s that I learned how “relaxed” Judaism could be. I hadn’t thought you could be part of a religion yet a nonbeliever at the same time.

TransitCenter, a transit advocacy group, found in a 2018 survey of riders with household incomes below $35,000 in eight major cities that frequency, safety, crowding and reliability were higher priorities than bus fare.

Maybe I’m missing something, but if they’re surveying people who are already riders, then OF COURSE fare isn’t their biggest complaint. They’re not getting feedback from people who want to use public transit, but can’t afford to.

The information gathered from this survey is still valuable, but shouldn’t be used as an argument for or against free public transit.

4% of those respondents are trolls or bots.

“Firefox gives the user too much control, so we decided to introduce incompatibility and then blame it on Firefox. Since we’re a huge software company, we could easily fix this… but we won’t. That’s okay, though, because we wrote a cute error message. Enjoy!”

I’d also add Punch Drunk Love to his list of unexpectedly serious movies
