  • lol putting that up on the shelf with 'verbal incontinence', I like it.

    I do set a line between 'cantankerous' and 'troll' more leniently along the annoyance scale than others. I say let the dork be a dork, not everyone has social skills.

  • Yeah, but that's just it, there is no one thing that fulfils all your needs if you are forced to use a particular tool, but it lacks privacy or freedom or other features.

    I use chrome because I have to and also am curious and I need to know about how Google runs its shit. I run Firefox because of various features it has that are good for web development. I run Safari because it is fast and relatively private outside of the Apple ecosystem And has some great developer tools.

    The effort of one keyboard twitch to move from one browser to the other is not really any amount of friction for me. It's easier than switching from one tab to another inside the same browser, so I don't get your fixation on a single tool.

    And as a PS, I won't touch Brave with a 10 foot pole anymore because of their Fuckery with crypto.

  • I, too, am forced to use Chrome for parts of my work.

    I just run Chrome for that set of tasks. Then quit, or tab to Firefox for regular browsing.

    This is SOP when dealing with uglies like google, microsoft, amazon, adobe, or meta: do the toxic thing or software they require, as sandboxed as reasonable, then get back to daily life and more knowable risks.

  • Well some people called it the Iraq War but it was the same war started by his daddy so we just called it Gulf War 2.0. It still lingers, mission was not accomplished.

    I don't have any of the footage sadly. The documentary never got made. I don't think anyone has used the footage, probably sitting in a university archive somewhere.

    However there were regular marches of notable size in both Windsor and Detroit, which were loosely coordinated with the millions marching elsewhere around the world. People showed a fair bit of opposition.

    I think some of that energy segued into the Occupy movement too.

  • I was once watching a grizzly and cub way up near the treeline, from a well hidden spot. Then we saw the wolverine and the bear smelled it around the same time and took off with her cub at a swift trot.

    We agreed and hid more until we were sure the wolverine wouldn't see us, then trotted away ourselves. Two of the world's most badass predator species just scrambling to get away from the little murder rug. Won't forget that.

  • You're both right.

    Often, descriptors like simply, only, just, etc. are used to diminish or manage perceptions of dissent.

    However, saying 'no it's just a riot' in this case is merely accurate grammar, as it's applying needed nuance and limits to the definition of civil disobedience.

  • No no no no, I keep looking at cats and being grateful that they are so small. Why would you create A.I. based on a predator?
