Okay. Now, explain the concept of enshitification. And do it using terms that regular folk won’t find crass.
You know how conservatives live in this bubble where they don’t even see their racism because it’s so normalized? We’re interacting within a bubble where everyone has a very high level of technical competence versus the average person, so we fail to understand just how tech illiterate others are.
I’m going with Alexander.
Failing to preserve evidence is sacntionable, even if it isn’t willful destruction. The penalties generally aren’t as stiff, but if the judges accepted “Oopsie, we accidentally destroyed evidence we were required to preserve” as a defense, there would be an incentive to destroy evidence and claim it was an accident.
The fact that most companies still turn over evidence that’s damning to their own cases is the proof that it’s generally a bad idea to accidentally destroy evidence.
Look at it another way: If you’re speeding and get pulled over, would a judge let you off if you tell him you were only doing 70 in a 35 because you weren’t paying attention to the road?
Can you explain the benefits of the fediverse over a centralized private site to a regular person in 5-second quip that will convince them that the relative complexity of using the fediverse versus BlueSky is worth the effort?
Incompetence has a price.

They need to just hire a bunch of trans men for their staff. Hundreds of men using the women’s bathroom on the orders of Johnson would be fun.
To be fair, the same is true for handguns and firearm receivers.
Some of them are still listed on the official D-link store on Amazon.
The thing about the UN generally, and the Security Council in particular, that people don’t understand it that its principal isn’t to end war globally, but to end global war.
The Permanent 5 members of the security Council and their veto power are a huge part of why it’s been sucessful. The veto prevents the UN from engaging in military actions against the interests of a nation that can withstand an extended military conflict with the rest of the world.
And it has worked remarkably well so far. While military conflict and imperialism are still around, the scale of conflicts have significantly decreased. The superpowers no longer engage in direct military conflicts that kill 50 million people, and when one gets uppity the rest of the world.engages in economic and diplomatic isolation instead of war.
Supposedly, the full map is measured in petabytes.
This is actually a perfectly reasonable use of streaming assets for full-resolution, since almost no players will ever experience even 1 percent of the map.
What you’re saying is perfectly reasonable, but also doesn’t apply here because they’re still selling this router new on the D-link Amazon store.
If you’re going to stop supporting a product, you should also stop selling it.
How are you not mentioning that you can buy guns at the pyramid?
That’s a very important detail.
Are you suggesting that famous people from outside the party should be placed at the top of the ticket?
Good leaders spend a long time building experience. Someone with a strong legislative, judicial, or executive record should be the candidate. Not some reality TV star or shitty actor. We’ve done that enough in my lifetime.
So yeah, the candidate should be someone that’s been with the party for a long time, and that’s why it’s so important to get involved and vote in local primaries and elections so that the kind of candidate you want to support is the one that’s been working their way through party leadership for 20 years.
No. It very much is not in his powers.
Biden’s term ends at noon in 2 months. He can’t just declare that it doesn’t. If he could, Trump would have done that in 2021 instead of trying to overturn the election.
If you want them to win, you should encourage them to caucus with and run as a member of a party that can win.
Any effort put into 3rd parties is a waste of resources because they can’t ever win in our system of government. You can wish for things to be different, but wishing doesn’t accomplish anything.
I’m all for driving out Russia and making Ukraine free. But the reality is that it will have problems with political stability after this war, and with unstable countries veering right these days, the last thing we need is a fragile country with a right-wing nut job next door to its enemy armed with nukes.
Nukes are a great deterrent as long as nobody uses them.
How many primaries have you voted in? Do you engage in local politics and primaries to support progressives early in their careers to steer the party left, or do you show up every 4 years when CNN is talking about your state’s primary?
If you do the former - great! Encourage others to do so, and understand that it takes time to change a party’s direction. And in the meantime, support that party in the general elections because they’re still better than the alternative.
If it’s the second, then get more active.
They made their own bed. I don’t want to hear a word out of them that isn’t working towards a realistic, attainable solution.
Voting in the general election against the worst party and voting in the primaries to make the other party better is a solution.
Choosing not to participate and then whining that those who do participate are making all the decisions is not.
Its presence in groundwater is how we discovered it’s good for teeth.
In fact, there used to be so much in some areas,it actually stained the teeth. In Colorado Springs a dentist noticed that the children were developing brown stains on their teeth. In researching it, it was discovered that the “Colorado Brown Stain” was caused by excessive fluoride in the drinking water. But it also lead to the discovery that regions with natural fluoride present but in lower levels than Colorado Springs didn’t have stained teeth, but did have lower levels of tooth decay.
