Libertarians are unable to conceptualize what 'art' even is . It doesn't bring in financial benefit, so what is it for? If it's not an advertising board with your company's logo on it, it's worthless wasted sp

It's always the same thing with these people. The women have to take care of the kids, and stay at home, never go kind and never complain. They should do all the work then the fathers should get to stumble in drunk, entertain their

It's not the most pressing issue in the world, but long-term, maps do shape conceptions about the world that we don't personally know. So it might be symbolic, but symbols are powerful.

Aging isn't the real problem. Batteries are being found to last ages and ages more than they were ever thought to. By the time it needs to be changed, these will be considered as antiques. I think the real problem will be in crashes an

Just yesterday I saw people saying that Apple wouldn't increase prices until the next refresh. And I agreed! So… holy shit. I think we're going to see even further price increases across the industry. There already were a ton, but

Yeah. Sorry if it wasn't clear, it's a stupid habit I picked up from Twitter that I can't quite get rid of.

That's the exclusive work of the Hyprborean dev (who himself is another giant crock of shit who I wish just wouldn't wake up ever again one day). You can install it on your normal, average Arch installation anyways. Don't nee

It's not hating , it's just this general reaction against strangers even seeing your posts. I haven't actually been subject to this, yet, but I've seen enough people react negatively against others doing this that it

It's not even about connecting to other people. I'm a toxic, friendless miserable asshole. I don't have anyone to connect with. All I use social media for is to look at whatever funny piece of media I'm obsessed with cur

Call me when the Fediverse has a search function that actually fucking works. Most of my time in social media is spent searching for keywords of whatever I'm interested in, which is one thing which Mastodon is absolutely awful at. Also

The keyword here is "in the EU". Outside Western Europe, VW is priced like a premium upmarket brand (not quite luxury). Maintenance and general upkeep for a VW are easily two to three times the cost of an equivalent Japanese car

More fun driving dynamics aren't worth the extra twenty thousand dollars you need to buy the equivalent European car, let alone the ridiculous lifetime costs of ownership, such as maintenance. I mean, seriously. I can buy a shitty Arge

You've got the good guys and the bad guys mixed up. No Meta "engineer" knows what morals or ethics even are, much less actually apply them in real life.

Regarding Rwanda, I think we're forgetting that a large part of their success comes from their plundering of the Congo's resources, mineral and otherwise. There have been two gigantic continent-wide wars over the Congo, for fuck&#
