Lung is dumb as fuck, but can you not use 'retarded' as a slur in the year of our lord 2024??

If webpages are storing plain password and not the hash, we should be worried

Yes.

Were you alive in 2000? Bush & Gore were often parodied as too similar

Also, The End of History

Does this remind anyone else of House of Usher?

Libraries are physical media

Tell me you haven't actually been to a library in the last 15 years without telling me.

Have you not heard of Libby? Of Overdrive? Next thing you're gonna be telling me Libraries aren't a solution because not everyone can use microfiche...

As relevant here as it was there

No one's fucking voting for genocide; not even Biden (whose actions on Gaza are not acceptable) is voting for genocide; say what you want, but he's not telling them to go into Gaza. And the 2024 election is about whether you want America to still be a democracy. A fascist USA helps no one.

Can libraries not get subscriptions to news services for public access?

Libraries?

Could you explain more- so you want a la carte options, like pay on a per-article basis? And to be clear, you know that free high-quality print media has never been a thing historically, right? Like, you never could access all articles from the entire history of the NYTimes on demand for free, that was never a thing. The paper for that day was locked in a metal box you had to pay to open, and all you got to see was half the front page.

Or, you know, support libraries...

If you ask someone to loan you some money (a line of credit), they might reply:

"Hmm, has anyone else loaned you money before, and you paid it back, showing you can be responsible with a loan?"

Even if it's just a friend asking for you to spot them $50, you might ask a mutual friend if that person actually pays them back.

It makes sense that not having a credit history is negative for them.

he wasn't trump. That's his whole platform, that's it.

Sorry, but this is one of those hyperbolic, uninformed, useless hot takes the Internet LOVES. You can literally look up his platform online, like so many places.

Here's Politifact tracking 99 of his campaign promises.
27 kept 5 compromised 1 broken 31 stalled 34 in the works

You don't know I volunteered in all local and state level elections from 1991 to 2006?

Hmm, no mentions of the DNC here...

You don't know that I manned the phones both times for Bernie a minimum of 15 hours a month?

Hmm, no DNC mentions here..

You SHOULD know that the only influence normal people have in the DNC directly relates to how much they can donate, and hours apparently don't equate to voice.

Hmm, no mention of you actually interacting with the DNC here...

I'm fucking turning half a century this year, you do this shit I paid my time.

So like, you haven't tried to contact your DNC reps?

As relevant here as it is there

You know you can become a member of the DNC right? You know that you have representatives on the DNC you can contact, right? You know you have influence on the DNC if you actually choose to exercise it, right?

I'm actually pretty happy Trump exists.

Good to know you're not one of the many women he's sexually abused. Good to know you're not a pregnant child being forced to give birth to her rapists baby after Roe was overturned. Good to know you're not one of the million+ Americans who've died of the pandemic Trump bungled.

I'm glad you're privileged enough for the Trump administration to not have devastated your well-being.

Fuck accelerationism.

For real; that comment was either made by a child, or someone severely ignorant of history

In the US on Android, unencrypted SMS messaging comes default. How do you propose getting a technologically illiterate boomer to not use SMS?

Can we PLEASE, in the Trump / Brexit era, recognize how baseless accelerationism is? Have we not learned the lesson of

"Once these people do this terrible, stupid thing, they will realize how terrible & stupid it is"

-is completely false? And in fact tons of people will double down on the stupid terrible thing? They'll double down so much that they'll gladly swallow horse dewormer & bleach, and not get vaccinated, and literally die drowning in their own fluids before admitting that maybe that wasn't such a good idea?

The Russian Federation actually does give a fuck about climate... They want to make global warming worse. They get to sell more gas, they get more arable land up north, and they open up shipping routes in the Arctic. Putin is Captain Planet levels of evil, fr.
