"I'm sorry, I didn't know your trigger was s*y milk, do you need a safe space to calm down before facing the big scary coffee shop again?"

A proper response to someone giving you shit about soy milk or almond milk or any other type.

Or anyone who parrots Republicans and their AnTi-wOkEnEsS lines.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There's more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon...

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I'll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It's the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" meme, come to life. And I'd rather let people have their fun. Doesn't cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I'm wrong.

And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

Super Weird.

All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I've seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won't get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.

The world is filled with assholes, why would I want to act like one in the privacy of my own home where I don't have to deal with anyone I don't wish to?

Rude npc? Ded time

Chill npc with a nice coat? You can stay... For now...

Option to be a dick to people just because I can or it gives me slightly better rewards? Nah I'm good.

Just don't ask why so many saves are directly in front of people....

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn't know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

Every time I hear someone complain about a single tiny piece of plastic on the ground or someone uses slightly more than needed cling wrap, all I can think of is the couple of warehouses I used to work in a couple jobs ago.

Everything comes on pallets wrapped in about a dozen layers of cling wrap. 8-10ft tall pallets.

Every box gets opened, the items pulled out of a large plastic bag, each item wrapped in its own plastic bag.

Those items get put in other boxes, stacked on a different pallet, and wrapped in another dozen layers of plastic wrap.

The pallets get moved to a temporary spot for a few hours, then someone comes up and curs all the wrap off. Moves the boxes onto 4 other pallets, and each of those goes to a separate forklift driver who puts them on shelves.

When the item leaves, it's placed in plastic bags, then a box, then goes on a pallet that gers wrapped in a dozen layers of plastic wrap. Onto the truck for shipping elsewhere.

They have a truck that comes twice a day to replace a shipping container filled with plastic.

So much plastic, every day, all day, they only close for Christmas and 4th of July.

Am I still going to use anything but plastic wherever possible? Sure. Am I still going to pick up that piece of plastic and put it in the recycling bin? Absolutely.

Companies suck and will blame you for their shitty treatment just like every abuser does.

In no particular order, I have French, German, Dutch, Scottish, Irish, and a teensy tiny bit of "my great great great great grandmother was native American and we actually have the proof but nobody could ever tell without a DNA test so it only gets brought up when talking about obscure family genetic lineage"

Maybe it's because my family is super midwest-usa-bible-belt, and I never even found out about most of it until a genetics test when I got married to my now wife (we wanted to know if kids would even be a medical possibility with our various issues), but I don't identify with any of the places my ancestors lived in, so there isn't a particular culture I'd like to be part of. And to be perfectly frank I'm not sure I want to be part of any culture, I just want to tend to my forest with fair ~~Goldberry~~ my wife.

You do make a good point though, if you're looking to be part of something or feel particularly drawn to a culture after being immersed in what you think it's really like, I could absolutely see this happening with 100% sincerity.

"or should I say us 🇮🇹"

"Sopranos was my favorite show"

Oof. Imagine saying "roots was my favorite show so it makes sense my great great great grandparent was black"

I'd bet it's not immune to small pellets of lead or steel flying towards it at around 1000fps.

Or a rock.

I'm less accurate with the rock though...

This is one of those articles that would have made me go "WOAH, that's so cool, the future will be awesome!" like 15 years ago...

Now it just makes me wonder "how long before someone uses it to hunt down their favorite target demographic for arrest/deportation/extermination" for a split second before I remember "if this is what we are seeing as the public, then someone is definitely already doing that"

Can't wait to see the wapo articles praising the musk drone defense network for flushing out the undesirables from [area] and only having a 20% false positive rate of elimination.

I'm noticing a LOT of people nowadays would have absolutely been nazis in nazi Germany, just because "it's perfectly legal and any disobedience is illegal, or isn't hurting Hitler himself and therefore is pointless"

MC Hammer: Greatest Hit.

Before I even read: it's phishing, and it's nothing new. There's no evidence supporting anyone has broken this level of E2EE.

After reading: oh look. Surprise. This is my surprised face.

This just screams of "we want backdoors to be forced into encrypted things so we have even more control"
