And don’t even frame it as a nameless hypothetical. Get specific.

“Are you arguing that Joe Biden could order the assassination of Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump, and if the Democratic Senate doesn’t convict on impeachment, he gets away with it?”

Nothing changed on the UNSC when Russia vetoed the resolution to leave Ukraine.

I’m not educated enough to say which is a “worse” violation of the principles the UN stands for, but I’ll go out on a limb and say nothing will change this time, either.

the entire government will be using [Olvid], the world’s most secure instant messaging system," French digital minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed on X.

Clearly they’re very discerning when it comes to their choice of communication apps. 🙄

Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.

In a sane world, the party that has only won a plurality of Presidential voters once since 1988 would try having at least a tiny shred of self-reflection. In this world, they double down on the crazy.

If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…

Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.

LMAO. The only time I visit Reddit any more is when it dominates the first page of search results. Spez has failed upwards for so long, he thinks he can fly.

A person’s music taste seems to crystalize at some point in their teenage years. The bands you loved at 15-17 are probably the bands that you’ll love forever.

Likewise, I’m finding that my relationship with information services as a whole probably crystalized a while ago, and the new era of “apps for every individual thing” is just wholly unappealing. Give me a web browser to interface with your information. If I can’t get it done with that, I’m more likely to move on to some even older tech and skip your product altogether.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late to bingo. And get off my lawn.

Me: “seems to” “at some point” “probably” while making a minor, secondary point. Others: Severely Triggered

Right. Here’s how it works: Your game is on Gamepass, and a user installs it. Now instead of Microsoft paying you $0.15, then you paying Unity $0.10, Microsoft will just pay us directly the $0.10, and you still get your $0.05! See, it’s a great deal! Everybody gets their money and you don’t even have to deal with the Unity costs! Please, don’t go!!

It’s just right-wing buzzword scrabble with that guy. No need to even speak in complete sentences, just say a bunch of words that your voters want to demonize, and take home the money.

“Radical” “Obamacare” “Left-wing” Triple word score!

A cynical person might even say this is an attempt by the state and insurance companies to justify not having any sort of security net for victims’ families. If one person can be held financially responsible for the kids, why should anyone else have to step in?

So instead of making occasional pithy comments for a useless gold star, you get to work an unpaid second full-time job, dealing with the worst of humanity, using awful support tools, for a useless gold star?

Musk got a lot of fans by driving the electric car revolution, but he really was always a d-bag. It just got excused or swept under the rug.

The first public crack in the armor really came in 2019 when he inserted himself in the Thailand cave rescue effort in the worst way. Then in 2020, he basically declared himself a public health expert and spread plenty of COVID misinformation.

But well before that, his first marriage was apparently pretty awful: www.marieclaire.com/…/millionaire-starter-wife/

He’s always believed that population collapse is a huge problem. He comes from a big family, and has lots of kids himself.

His management style is also pretty terrible: businessinsider.com/elon-musk-management-leadersh…
