It's an election year, "Shut up and get in line" is actually a completely valid take right now considering how fate of democracy is actually a fucking thing that's on the line right now.

And I feel like "shut up and get in line" is especially applicable after y'all got what you wanted and Biden stepped down.

Continuing to bitch when there's a country to save is just making it look like you didn't want an honest discussion leading to an unprecedented shift in political maneuvering, you just wanted something to bitch about.

To allegorize a quote from a historical commentator,

"Being at war with the pope is whatever, you'd be surprised how often that happens, but if he dies and you keep fighting, well now you're at war with the catholic church itself, and that is gonna end very badly for you."

You'd be shocked how crazy it actually is that human arms work the way they do.

Primate arm structure is what gives us the ability to throw with predictable accuracy and it's something that just does not exist anywhere else in the animal kingdom.

It's so exclusive that Goji Center used it as a part of their "improved" Indominus Rex to give it primitive tool use and also to add a bit of very disturbing world building about what exactly is in that thing's genetic components.

The point here is that it is down to a very unique musculoskeletal pattern of our "front legs" that we can throw good, and make use of all that training to possibly throw gooder, and that other animals being able to do the same at the same level as the primate family would have made this planet exponentially more dangerous than it already is.

Imagine a mountain lion being able to chuck a spear. That shit would make living in the Rockies almost dangerous enough to justify how crazy half the people that come out of there are!

Fact that they were women makes me guess Zapatistas?

Women's rights came to mexico quickly but only after the revolutionaries won and were pushed even further left by the alternative factions that had helped them win IIRC.

I think you can stop most of them from sending data if you don't use an alexa style hub device to connect it.

My J9+ didn't have any prompts asking for data that I couldn't just say no to, and aside from being a bit derpy around low hanging bedsheets it works just fine.

I'm old enough that some of the PC games I grew up playing came on a CD.

In fact, I'm old enough to remember before when CD became a tag for cross dressing on Pornhub!

"You youngins think you're pro gamers‽ I've forgotten more PC games than y'all have put your hands on!"

These jokes are gonna follow the man until he escapes public life, and even then only because the red state backwater he flees to will most likely publicly beat anyone who even mentions a cushion in his presence.

Weirdos have no sense of humor.

Every time I see these ultramassive black holes all I see is the megastructure uber planet you can build around them, or if organic life has gone out of fashion at that point, the megastructure uber computer.

I actually had an offer from my advisor to study for a PhD under him by basically taking on a major coding project to develop a non toxic format of social media, or at least to get as close to that as possible. I also remember it involving some non crypto uses of blockchain software potentially but my prof was more interested in the complex web development aspects of it and actually got my web design professor in on pitching the potential for it to me.

We had me enroll in a master's level web design class to trial run it, and it turned out I wasn't the webcode wunderkind they thought I might be given my good web design work for my courses so far. I'm creative but not a savant basically. We all agreed that my PhD potential was best sought after more design experience got under my belt.

1, trans women are actually at a competitive disadvantage since hormone blockers also nullify the low levels of Testosterone that women produce naturally.

2, of all the fucking countries to suspect of "cheating" by fielding a trans woman, ALGERIA‽
