It blows my mind that advertising could be worth more than a subscription.

Their evaluation of advertising must be tied with brand recognition and other general brain washing tactics.

I don’t think I’ve had one in twenty years and I just got the taste in my mouth reading your comment.

Thanks.

Unplugged mine last week. Fuck em.

Why not both?

“They really went out on a limb.”

If course not.

Ideally it would all be FLOSS and run by a non-profit, with a focus on health and transparency.

Give link or cry.

The scale of boom the IDF is dropping is an order of magnitude larger than Hamas missiles.

It’s insane to think that one (or even more than one) missile could destroy a hospital.

I was extremely excited about Neuralink, and the premise is so fascinating, but this clown is out to fucking ruin it for everyone.

“Wait a minute, WE are biotics!”

Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized[1][2] to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.[3] The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth. It is speculated that the resulting cooling would lead to widespread crop failure and famine.

What are they to stop?

There is House of the Dragon.

I can’t find anything about Dame of Dragons.

A whole lotta mental gymnastics going on in this thread.

If you never read it you will never know.

There is a BBC audiobook from the 80s which is really good.

The original movie is very good.

The new interpretation is fun but not my cuppa.

A reference to A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

It means, “good bye forever”, or some such interpretation.

“White Good, Black Bad” is a pretty easy case to win when it comes to the “should we consider changing how we speak to not look like an asshole” debate.

While the term blacklist does not originate from racist history, it has certainly been adopted by racists before computers, while terms like master and slave have clear links to slavery as a human history: in either case the terms along with others were found to be offensive to a large population and have since been changed to reflect human decency.

Edit: Haha, found the racists. VvV
