I absolutely despise that SLAM is an acceptable word in journalism. How the fuck did that happen?

Yep! And any examples of countries to have high tax rates but spend well are outright ignored. So annoying!

Yeah I feel you. Americans think that they're allowed to park their dodge ram on a sidewalk because it feels "unsafe" to park on a suburban street 20 feet away. God forbid their chance of being sideswiped is non-zero, because who cares about pedestrians or disabled folks.

I say this as an American. A lot of us are bonkers-selfish.

Yep constantly! perfect example yesterday. Was waiting in line for ice cream. Some young girls ahead of me in line were talking amongst themselves. Worker tries to ask them what they want twice. The girls were completely oblivious to her or seemingly to the fact they were in line. I felt this worker's pain but supported her reaction of rolling her eyes and then quickly proceeding to the next customer.

We obviously all have lapses in awareness but yeah it does sort of feel like it's so common it's endemic and maybe on the rise. Living in a touristy area accounts for some of it but even in the off season it's crazy common here.

How could you possibly know this? Do you think despair helps anything?

Why would anyone write "enby" when nb is shorter and whose meaning can much more easily be guessed at by people like me wondering what it means...?

Yep, and don't forget that they're the ones who taught us to stand up for what's right, but now they stand up for someone who is clearly a career criminal and the worst kind of racist, and a lying, cheating theif. Their response to all that? A resounding "meh, politics. It's all political"

Oh fuck this. It is not "hesitancy" when years later you are ignoring actual evidence while clinging to any bullshit fringe theory that confirms your belief.

He is an alt-right douche and it escapes me how him constantly being purposely antagonistic for fun lends to being "likeable". The abhorrent political views would be enough, but there's a lot more.

Anyone considering taking this idiot's comments seriously should know that they write comments like "btw I have more money than I know how to spend in decades" lmao

The cringiest incel shit I've read recently. Unlike on reddit, I'd love it if people like this were ostracized so thoroughly, they cannot stand to be on the platform, even to spread hate as this person is clearly aiming to do.

So you learned enough about the history of computing to make claims like this, but not enough to know that practically all the first programmers were female and some even pioneered theory, techniques, and languages? For example Grace Hopper, who you are erasing from history here.

I call bullshit. Either you purposely ignore these facts, or your sexism prevented them from being remembered when you learned them.

Probably not as miserable as it is to have to spend all your energy pretending to not see how your political ideas have fully doomed humanity to drive itself extinct
