I’m glad you have family members who you are close with.

Blood is thicker than water does not hold true for many people though, sadly. Especially not queer people.

100%. The Cybertruck came out after Elon went full right wing asshole.

I’d love if the coasts just left the US and joined Canada.

It’ll definitely be a pivot to how the Democrats failed and how everything is their fault when the tariffs kick in and the price of everything skyrockets.

I call bullshit on this narrative when the other side of the equation is the guy screaming about tariffs on our largest trade partners.

Yeah, fuck ‘em. Don’t apologize.

In addition to what you’ve mentioned, don’t forget it’s the same groups of people who want to give guns more rights than women/people of color/LGBTQ+. After reading things like this… you realize you shouldn’t be apologizing because these people don’t give a shit.

Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

Really glad to see this. I’m appalled at how little grad students are paid given their very large role in keeping universities afloat (teaching classes and helping with research).

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.

I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?

Yup. That’s been my experience too.

I also get aggressively pushed some conservative news sources in my main feed even though I never subscribed to any of those.

This sucks. I really liked SmartNews but this explains why it’s been so terrible as of late.

What’s funny is Google pushed me to turn off all my targeted ad preferences + watch history on YT. I basically did what you did and they started pushing me PragerU and other weird conservative ads, so I just straight turned everything personalized off. And pretty much stopped using the platform.

Yeah. It’s a joke given their executive comp is higher than the awarded amount.

Keming strikes again!

Gotta collect ‘em all!

The repo still exists. GitHub is just having an outage

That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?

I was just amazed that it took him so long to roll out a predatory monetization model…
