Authoritarian regimes must control the flow of information if they want to continue to exist. Just because they can disconnect themselves from the rest of the world doesn’t mean they’ve "taken down the Internet. "

If a rat has a better developed sense of empathy than you do, then you’ve probably made some seriously awful life choices somewhere along the line.

Also, do you really NEED to sleep?

Sympathy? Hmm . . . let’s see . . . sympathy . . ok. I’m sorry he didn’t contract a really ferocious strain of ass-cancer that his insurance didn’t cover.

Elon, if you developed a really ferocious strain of ass-cancer, do you think it would affect your entire body?

This. The job of cops is to protect rich bastards and their stuff.

When you consider the billions that are at stake in cramming “AI” into computers, cars, phones, agit-prop generation and military hardware, I there’s a non-zero chance that his death wasn’t accidental. Maybe a second coroner’s opinion is in order.

This. As a juror, you can absolutely vote to not convict someone if you think they’re being prosecuted under an unjust law. Just don’t mention “jury nullification” in front of a judge or prosecutors. They hate that.

I know his name. Muad’Dib!

Just “x10” with metric. With imperial, it’s usually “how many rods to a hogshead” or short tons and long tons or fathoms vs leagues.

And if folks are worried that their computer’s hardware won’t be supported (wifi, touchscreen, mousepad, soundcard or a weird mobile graphics driver) I recommend testing it by booting from a live linux flash drive. If everything works with the live version, it should work with the installed version, too.

“Killed by several accidents.”

Ever wonder why websites that use Captchas prefer pictures of cars, busses, crosswalks, stop signs, bicycles, motorcycles and stairs?

They’re using YOU to train their AI models.

I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.

Yeah but mechanical car door handles aren’t “Cool.” You don’t want to have a car that isn’t cool, right?

In 2016, Democrats didn’t vote for Hillary because she just didn’t “do it” for them. We got Trump thanks to their adorable little protest vote.

2024 14 million registered Democrats didn’t vote in this election because Harris just didn’t “do it” for them. But since they HAD registered, they were prepared to vote.

I’m starting to detect a really stupid, petty pattern, here.

Believe people when they show you what they really are.
