I get where you’re coming from, but the reason I disagree is because you’re assuming these people are acting in good faith. Why do they need a title?

Queer folk have always used symbols to distinguish ourselves and find others. We’re ~10% of the population and it’s necessary. Straight people do not commonly do so, and 100% of the people who feel the need to wear it like a badge are actually signaling their refusal to let the rest of us exist.

I, for one, would feel perfectly comfortable in an MMO with 90% straight people. (This is just called existing in public.) I would leave immediately if 90% of people wore a “Straight” title for no discernable reason.

That’s not an argument that being filmed at a polling place is dangerous.

I’m not sure a good argument can be made. Being at a polling place doesn’t say who you’re voting for. I don’t see the danger.

ACAB, but you can hardly get upset about this case. Of all the shady things the FBI does, this doesn’t even register.

Nobody said the title said that was the reason. If you’re going to be pedantic, at least be consistent.

It is more difficult than a few years ago, especially if you don’t want to get sued or get a threatening letter from your ISP.

I would only torrent with a VPN and a private tracker. It’s certainly not difficult to learn, but absolutely requires some small amount of information to acquire.

The Indian subcontinent shaking and crying right now.

The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There’s so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can’t buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.

Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it’s easier than ever these days.

I suspect it would be difficult to generate enough data to intentionally change a dataset. There are certainly little holes, like the glue pizza thing, but finding and exploiting them would be difficult and noticing you and blocking you as a data source would be easy.

I literally started watching this yesterday. No idea how I went so long without seeing it.

The miniseries is kind of rough (emotionally), but I guess I wasn’t prepared for >!the destruction of humanity.!<. It’s incredibly good though.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn’t he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

I will not stand idly by for this good natured ribbing of my man Geordi! Harrumph! Harrumph, I say! 😾

This is Tina Fey, most popular for her time on SNL and as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. I’m lost beyond that though.

You’re speaking to an incredibly skilled flutist.

So if you’re with two Rikers, you’ll probably get ignored. But you get to watch two Rikers, so still worth it.

Conservatives think that some people are just better than others and, surprise surprise, they’re near the top of the “natural hierarchy”.
