I read the Godfather when I was about 10. My shoebox diorama was the horse head on the bed. It was frowning because it didn't like having its head cut off.

I like them, personally. You don't have to use them but they are sometimes handy. I just spent 30 seconds feeling around a TV to turn it off only to discover it doesn't have buttons. Killed it at the wall.

It's not a deal breaker, in any case. The weird foreign convention I would like to shame is doors that require a key to open from the inside.

Final Cut Pro. There isn't anything else that compares.

India alone is about 2 billion people who all use WhatsApp. I cannot change the world. I hear you and would love for us all to switch to federated or — at least — decentralized things, or whatever. I will advocate for it, but like banks and shit are using WhatsApp. It is legitimized here even more than MMS. I can't stop it. And yes, I have made the choice to communicate with humans rather than using Signal.

My point is the network effect. That's where people are and I have no power to change that, so that is where I must sometimes be. If it was up to me, things would be wonderful and open source. But I sometimes have to deal with — ugh... humans.

I wish I could stop using WhatsApp but that's where all the people without phone plans are. I wish I could stop using Telegram but that's where all the drug dealers are. I wish Reddit would ban X links, but that's where all the sassy hot takes are.

I'm here but I'm not United Statesian so I can't vote in your elections (even though US foreign influence is so aggressive it feels like I should have a say).

Oh no, I've upset some MAGA weirdos. Gonna lose sleep over that.

It lacks some content

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, if this isn't the understatement of the century.

In some cities Telegram is the Uber Eats of drugs. You totally shouldn't check for a local drug buy and sell group in your area.

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root

I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.

No, it doesn't, of course. I was only speaking to your comment that suggests Greenland's population is white, because that felt disingenuous to the 90% who are Inuit. Anyhoo, peace.

Greenland is mostly Inuit.

I was by myself in the middle of one night when we were first moving in when I start getting messages from the cameras I set up. "Humanoid on driveway". "Humanoid at front door". It was a cat.

The Ryanair special.

Trying to politely correct everyone is like hurting cats.

It doesn't. It means AM but it's not the bus driver's bedtime yet so it's not really morning. But your misunderstanding is valid because this is a goofy way of communicating this information.

Just think: you all did the right thing, holding your nose at the polls, voting for Fetterman to block Oz. And now you have both of them.

what exactly does MacOS Own exactly?

Space in your amygdala, apparently.

How did we get so lazy about labeling generations? It's not like we've been crunched for time. How about gen skibidi?
