Not on my phone. I still haven't even watched beyond season 1, I was just making a glib comment

Instead of being white it's red

This is explored pretty well in the novel White Tiger, which I highly recommend

I know, right? It turns up on the sorrel in my garden every year

I'm not sure what kinda gymnastics the wheelchair user's got to be doing to get on the shitter once they've rolled themselves into a stall backwards... Or why it's only after a shit that they can't use doors

It's a burrito

Not sure students are necessarily benefiting? The point of education isn't to hand in completed assignments. Although my wife swears that the Duolingo AI is genuinely helping her with learning French so I guess maybe, depending on how it's being used

I remember hearing about somewhere - alphabet or meta or something like that - that basically provided adult crèche facilities for the employees. Way beyond just food - On-site nap rooms. Washing machines. Showers. The works. All to enable just a super unhealthy attitude towards work. Thinking about how much that must've affected anyone going there straight after uni when they should have been leaning how to look after themselves makes me shudder with cringe

There's always some percentage of people who are ignorant of global issues and want to stay out of things... You'd think they were Farage voters but actually they usually don't vote

I upvoted one and downvoted the other four balance

You have them in comics a lot, I wonder if...

Shit I never responded. But I hard disagree
See, if you can't trust anyone, your ability
To fabricate a plausible model of reality
Is compromised.

Nobody can interpret the world alone.

No small group can.

Too much is known.

I'm not a Beyonce fan but damn I'd wanna hear that

I have actually had to write something that used the Google drive API for a friend's company once and it was... Unpleasant. Counterintuitive. Woefully inconsistent. My solution worked but it sucked and I am a bit ashamed of it

I am not sure if I mispoke or misread. Apologies for implying ignorance, I just wanted to dump my mind

Ok I recognise Andre and Arnold, who's the dude on the left?

All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)

I'm sorry you lost me there mate. Let's take them in order

I'm not and have never been a political candidate.

The performative outrage of which I speak is people encouraging that the Democrats be punished despite the explicitly stated desire and highly probable outcome of the Republicans enabling greater atrocities, whilst disregarding the harder and more useful work of pushing individuals to oppose the genocide within the existing system of reality

What is this even meant to mean? This is precisely the performative outrage of which I speak, and it doesn't even carry semantic weight. It's just useless pseudo-accusatory sentiment
