They have ads in Chrome now? Yikes, it's worse than I thought.

Im'ma be honest. I've been using FF for so long that if that's the case I didn't even know.

Yay! I'm a part of something! :D

Greetings, fellow LibreWolf user! Hurrah!

Honestly, I'm less worried about the speed and moreso I just don't like supporting Google's de facto monopoly of the Web's infrastructure.

Well I'm not gay, but I am pan, though. Do I count or should I go turn myself in?

Nah, they just continue on as normal, believing the lie that he's a "political prisoner" (Trump's words actually) and that the charges were bullshit concocted by the Democrats to put him away.

...........a customer of mine spewed this nonsense off at me just yesterday after the news broke, and I died a little inside.

Well, let's say the typical minimum diameter of a burger patty is 2 inches, and the typical maximum diameter is 6 inches, with a mean of about 4 inches:

That would mean that, depending on the diameter of the patty, and assuming all patties are the same diameter, 1 kilometer equals approximately 6 562–19 685 burger patties, with a mean of 9 843.

(All values were rounded up to the nearest integer.)

How

Edit: Whoops, forgot to provide my source for the date aspect: NIST Handbook 44 2024, Appendix C: General Tables of Units of Measurement, page C-5, footnote 3 (Warning: PDF) – Sorry about that!

Exactly! Just add a few sweaty rednecks and an extra large fry and you're golden. 👍

English is not a language.

English is 6 drunk raccoons driving an M1 Abrams through a Wendy's drivethru.

This image just screams "AI-generated". Yuck.

 

Edit: I don't hate AI-generated images, just the ones that are disgustingly Uncanny Valley.

Aside from that, I just have one thing to say: your face.

if it’s found 200 years from now by some archaeologist

Only if it's acid-free paper.

Oh gods please tell me this is not chain letters but for the modern modern age... I don't wanna go through that again...

Yes.

How is that relevant?

It's relevant because it seemed like you were saying that students being prosecuted for protests and other things was a recent phenomenon. I was merely saying that's not the case.

Honestly it sounds like you may be trying to make excuses for these attacks on student protestors by claiming that they’re an inevitable force of nature. That it’s always been this way and always will be. Nothing to see here, move along. Hopefully that’s not what you’re trying to do.

Not at all. I'm not making excuses for either party. I was merely under the impression that you were saying prosecution of students was a relatively modern phenomenon, and was stating it was not.

And no, the state is not persecuting students for thinking, it’s persecuting them for the same reason it’s persecuting Yeshitela and Assange: for expressing things it would rather not have expressed.

Both are true, honestly. Universities have often been hotbeds of alternative viewpoints, and these are largely caused by said universities naturally having cultures of free intellectual thought. Establishments throughout history have generally not liked the resulting alternative viewpoints and thus have prosecuted them. For one reason or another, for good or ill. I'm making no judgement here one way or the other.; I'm merely making a statement.

Students have always been persecuted, throughout human and US history.

It was like that in the French Revolution era, it was like that in the 60s–70s, and it's like that in this era.

My point is that students being persecuted is by no means a thing unique to this era; it's because college has been and still is a place where people are encouraged to think and governments have never liked that.

I imagine it's NSFW because of how they're holding the cable!

"No."
