astreus,

Check again.

“My original comment was a glib link to a wikipedia page. I had not done the research and have edited my comment above”

To which you replied:

“Your last sentence here would change the sentiment of your original comment in a positive way. I encourage an edit.”

I was going to reply with “what, I should edit my comment again to say I have edited my comment” but decided it wasn’t as funny typed as in my head.

Sorry, mate, you are wrong. But over the most stupidly ridiculously small thing on the internet (and that’s saying something)

I just want us to be clear: your satisfaction/demands mean literally nothing to me so please don’t take credit for the other poster helping me do my research 🤷‍♂️

astreus,

Nope, I had already. Hence why I said “I have edited my comment” and then you said "you should edit your comment.

astreus,

I’m not flailing, I’m pointing out you are trying to rewrite history.

On top of that the other commenter didn’t “destroy” my claim nor was it “bullshit”. They added context based on an assumption I didn’t make (i.e. vaccine = cure) which led me to do more research and add context that changed the level of enthusiasm I had.

What was bullshit was you deciding it was disingenuous AND you saying I had made changes you had requested. Neither of those statements are true.

“I believe your edit came either at the same time” - you do see the irony of asserting your belief like it’s fact in a thread where I added my belief to a fact and mangled it as a result? You do see it, right?

I find it kinda funny that I admitted where I was wrong but you are literally unable to.

Anyway, just clarifying: the OTHER poster got me to edit based on their HELPFUL comments. You didn’t do anything apart from state obvious facts about FDA approval and try to take credit for being so wise and insightful

astreus,

I turned privacy.resistFingerprinting to true and now get an absolutely unique fingerprint on the tool

Brit and avid history fan here! Stiff upper lip is a myth. We used to be a very rebelious lot:

We’re taught about Henry VIII, but not about the mass uprising he had to put down (The Pilgrimage of Grace)

We hear about the Battle of Hastings but not the Harrying of the North.

We’re never taught about the Enclosure Acts (that stole land from the common folk) and the subsequent uprising and brutal repression (including the Midlands Revolt).

We also had the Peasants Revolt trying to stop the crazy taxation during the 100 year war!

And if we’re looking for other acts of rebellion:

The Peterloo Massacre

The General Strike of 1926

The Miner’s Strikes of the 80s

The Battle of Cable Street (Police protecting Nazis)

The Battle of Lewisham (Police protecting Nazis)

But it is far, far better for those in power to make us believe we have always been meek and “stiff upper lip”

EDIT: for people looking for a complete list, this ain’t it. I just chose a few that were in my mind at the time. I also didn’t include anything to do with imposed rule or I’d just gesture vaguely at the island of Ireland.

I also didn’t include anything to do with aristocrats fighting each other. This is an incomplete list of popular uprisings to make a point.

astreus,

Fascist and populist are not mutually exclusive.

carbon capture facilities

These are a known scam, by the way. It’s just repackaging a technique oil companies already use to squeeze more oil out of the same fields and charge the government and consumers for the pleasure of feeling like they’ve done something.

astreus,

Going to go away and read about this. As a Brit living in Spain, I know very little about the ins and outs of what’s going on there.

astreus,

Are those labels really needed?

astreus,

Okay this sounds interesting as a short term solution (though I don’t see what the medium and long term solutions will be) - I’d be interested in knowing what companies are benefiting from this and how much, etc and what the transition plans will be.

But there is one majorly fucked up part of the plan: this is an untested methodology, so they’re testing it under the homes of black and poor communities. Louisianan does not disappoint.

astreus,

I knew someone would say this, which is why I also used Spain where the houses are as expensive, the pay is worse, and the tax is higher!

It doesn’t matter where you go in the West, the dream of liberalism is dead

astreus,

To add to this, the rule of thumb in the UK is your maximum loan is 4.5x your salary.

The average worker could borrow about £157,000.

astreus,

*Pay to be enslaved

astreus,

I think we read different articles:

This person was not allowed to SHARE the things written. That’s not a thought crime.

astreus,

“Romance” is such a crap term! She was writing porn. Likely with minors. I’m involved with a lot of authors, some also write porn open-door spice, and the only things that get Google bans (from what I’ve been told) are kiddie porn and extreme gore.

While the dangers of handing your documents to Google can’t be overstated, don’t sympathise too much with this person.

EDIT: y’all know she was only blocked from sharing, right? She did not lose access to any of her work and no one has the right to demand a middle man for their content.

Scenario: Jack draws some heinous CP cartoon. He wants to share it with Alice. He asks Jill to hand it to Alice. Jill says “I am not handing this to anybody.” Should Jill be on blast for censoring Jack?

Scenario 2: Jack draws some middling soft-core porn. He wants to share it with Alice. He asks Jill to hand it to Alice. Jill says “I am not handing this to anybody.” Should Jill be on blast for censoring Jack?

astreus,

You literally sent that from a FOSS platform…

astreus,

You don’t have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.

astreus,

I hope he’s buried. Iran needs some public toilets.

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed? (apnews.com)

Blas Sanchez was nearing the end of a 20-year stretch in an Arizona prison when he was leased out to work at Hickman’s Family Farms, which sells eggs that end up in the supply chains of huge companies like McDonald’s, Target and Albertsons. While assigned to a machine that churns chicken droppings into compost, his right leg...

Lol it’s a lyric from dead prez, wouldn’t get bent out of shape about it. Literally written in 2000 - I can’t even find stats that old 🤷

astreus,

Same thing that happens when other slaves are hurt or killed on the job.

Not a hell of a lot.

astreus,

Kinda like the Imperial measurement system, if you are being compared to Myanmar then perhaps stop?

astreus,

There’s a reason the average black male spends 1/3 of their life in prison in America.

And then has the right to vote taken away when they get out…
