I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

I doubt he’s that open-minded. He’s one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and “woke” people

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

Fuck, that explains a lot

Climate change shouldn’t even be a PoLiTiCaL issue, but fucking reich-wingers have made agreeing with reality into a political issue

“Free speech” platform where you get banned if you use the words “cis” or “weird”

Huh, interesting. Probably not “fine” though since if she’s at Gold / Int Base she’s probably being held against her will, considering that the whole base is sorta built around being like a prison compound and they even have private security “pursuit teams” to hunt down escapees.

Edit: not to say that everybody at Int is being held against their will, but it’s where eg. The Hole is so if somebody is being held, Int is probably where they’d be

I bet David had her killed years ago. They own the cops so nothing ever comes of the investigations

Apple’s OS updates – whether iOS or macOS – haven’t been very good for years now

Hey don’t worry, neither will a lot of us Europeans who have had to live under right-wing governments. Reich-wingers love to emulate the US

The Phase II clinical trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of Incel administered intravenously

Mainlining incel, damn that doesn’t sound great at all

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

the former president’s campaign has disavowed the project and recently went so far as to say its “demise would be greatly welcomed,” while Trump urged his supporters to boo it at a campaign rally.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t believe for a fucking second that this is anything but optics. It’s not like conservatives have to explicitly say they’re following the playbook, but they obviously already are – many Republican lawmakers are members of the conservative organizations that wrote the fucking thing (see eg. this bit of news from TN)

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

Some plans less so than others.

Also, I like this framing of users as the enemy. Matches my experience, really.

Wasn’t expecting a fucking rainforest

Orders a

No danger of that happening with a conservative, no brains in the first place

Meaning that he knows he’s sharing bullshit

You sure he’s getting hoodwinked and not sharing shit he knows is fake on purpose?
