Ah, okay-- thanks.

Everyone keeps saying it can't be staged because it was so close.

I just wanted to point out it can be both staged and a successful assassination if the end goal is to point the finger at the left and martyr a polarizing figure.

As someone outside of the US, I would say that the fallout to other countries is substantial. Not due to policies, but rather rhetoric.

Where I live, neo-nazis used to hide-- but now all the bigots, emboldened by Trump, are organizing. The right-wing opposition party leader walks among them and isn't immediately shunned/removed. This is echoed around the globe.

Šilovs is wayyy out of net to poke check Kane in first image. Moss from IT Crowd in second image. Text reads: Šilovs is out of his net. He's not in his net. He's supposed to be in his net. Why is he out of his net.

During the Reddit Strike, there was a stream on Twitch showing subreddits going dark. They played an amazing Japanese jazz album, but I've lost the bookmark to the YouTube vid.

Does anyone have it, please?

I'm a woman and I don't have any social media. I just don't see the value in it when the cost is tracking and ads.

Honestly, it's not great to assume that someone is "arrogant and judgmental" because they don't fit in your boxes :|

Futurama Season 1: Episode 6. Fry gets ads in dreams.

As a Canadian, I have also apologized for apologizing 😞

IMO, it's always worth it because you dont know who is reading this: I imagine some young or teenage girls might see this-- imagine how they feel when they read the disparaging comments from the incels. Pretty dejected, I'd think. Then imagine how they feel when they read the model/engineer's reply. It also shows boys what shite behaviour is.

It's never a waste to shut the misogynists down-- it's like investing in your future.

I like that the S is a $

Probably be better to refrain from slurs. There are plenty of other, better insults to choose from :)

In Europe, the Dada (1916) and Surrealist (1920) movements began as a response to WWI. The atrocities committed during the war devastated humanity to the point where artists couldn't (or wouldn't) depict the human form, let alone realism.

If this is true, the end is nigh. What kind of content do they think this will encourage? Bots and low-quality rehashings will flood the place further.

Though I guess they'll get some juicy income from requiring this information:

email addresses, personal details, and tax and bank account information.

Good riddance!
