You find the ones that aren’t boring and listen to those.

Of course they’re just people talking to each other. It’s an audio-only medium! Some of them are boring and some of them are entertaining.

Have you never heard of talk radio? I feel almost like I’m explaining music or movies to somebody who’s never heard of them before.

It was a trivial change to some documentation. The fact that he chose this hill to die on says a lot.

If Sanders and AOC aren’t the future of the Democratic Party, then the Republicans are just going to keep winning. Neolibs simply aren’t popular. They aren’t far enough to the left for the leftists, and they aren’t far enough to the right for the conservatives.

This article appears to be pretty even-handed.

My assessment? Get fucked, Ladybird. I don’t want to trust my web security to people who think like this, especially since web security is very political and will only become more so as the Trump administration continues.

Why would it be a threat to the entertainment industry? I thought they were all excited about being able to cut costs with AI.

Did you read what I replied to?

It’s actually much worse than that.

AI will reinforce delusional thinking. This is definitely not good.

Well, obviously they’re the wrong kind of Semites, not the Chosen People. Psssh

Ohh, I just now made that connection! Clever.

Not all Israelis, sure, but settlers definitely. Nobody’s forcing them to attack Palestinians and destroy their property.

Blaming an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few is textbook racism.

I don’t know Vanilla’s politics, but he performed for Trump. So did the Village People, though, so who knows. Maybe Trump’s a fan and threw a huge wad of cash at him.

There needs to be a distinction made between somebody renting out their downstairs to make ends meet vs. those people who buy up dozens of houses.

Fuck, which DNS blocks pirate sites? I’ve never heard of this before.

Sometimes I download it and then delete it, so that I can download it again! Mwahahahahaah

You’re not wrong. I’m just saying, if you want to make that point, you should compare per capita.

You know, you can just say “supernaturalism” instead of “religion”. The two are not synonymous. You can have religion without supernaturalism, such as non-theistic Satanism and some forms of Buddhism. You can have supernaturalism without religion, which describes many New-Agers. I’m sure you’ve heard people say “I’m spiritual, but not religious”, and that’s what they mean by that. There are people who believe in souls and reincarnation and stuff like that, but they don’t have a religion built around it.

In the case of non-theistic Satanism, there is a moral code, a set of beliefs, and a community of people with shared values, as well as holidays and rituals. Just nothing supernatural.

Naw, my religion is cool. I’m a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.

Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.
