Reminds me of the radio model that was denied by the RIAA when downloading mp3s first got big.

maybe they have three million employees and they’re spreading a large portion of the sales evenly

I think republican voters got confused that they’re part of the Republican Party since they have similar names.

Are you saying yes it is the case that enlightenment is not always liberating?

Or are you refuting what I said, saying enlightenment is always liberating?

Even enlightenment isn’t always liberating.

It’s just a minor probe. Won’t hurt a bit.

Is there any reason not to?

This is one thing I rarely seen brought up in discussions of nuclear power. If every building had its own power source, then the grid no longer becomes a viable target. Funding for national security should go towards putting solar on every rooftop.

A “rare” 150-year-old signal box could be restored if plans for the work to upgrade it are approved.

Network Rail has applied to the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) to improve the “poor” condition of the signal box at Bootle, near Millom, in Cumbria.

Work would include repointing of the structure, which is by the level crossing at Bootle railway station, rebuilding the chimney and removing redundant equipment.

Planning documents said the building, which was built in 1874, was a “rare surviving example” of the Furness Railway Type 1 signal box.

Network Rail said a recent inspection identified several issues and the work would enable it to preserve the signal box, which is considered a heritage asset.

The LDNPA is considering the application.

Don’t worry, a majority of voters will think the impending enshittification is all the Democrats fault by the time the next (if any) election comes along.

After having a Steam Deck for a while, I’d love to have a Steam controller for when I’m on my PC.

You’re welcome to try and change my mind instead of belittling me.

So stupid when pages are broken on purpose.

If you’re trying to open the link in a new tab, does CTRL+click work?

We don’t do that now. Men are far more preferred because they’re men.

Yeah, it sucks that men have almost no humility about this.

The insult was great though, thanks. That helps.

What do men fear most about women? Being embarrassed by them. What do women fear most about men? Being killed by them. Until this changes, men have a lot of work to do. It’s on all us men to fix that. We’ve prided ourselves as being brave and strong, so surely we’re up to this challenge.

Even if both men and women are both capable of evil, that doesn’t mean men and women have done the same number and level of evil things throughout history. I’m willing to give them a shot at taking the lead for a bit.

My comment was removed for the reason “Troll” (and that’s fine if the mod interpreted it that way) but I am extremely disappointed in us men lately. The asinine things we say and do is maddening. I’m more than happy for women to take the lead in society for a couple hundred years. We could learn a thing or two from them.
