Keyboard prices soared this month, as tech giants pivoted from failed AI projects to employing hordes of monkeys typing randomly. One CEO was quoted as saying, “Just a few trillion more dollars, and I think our random typing model could reproduce the lost contents of the Library of Alexandria.”

Isn’t this exactly the type of situation that was being used recently as an example of when an order is so blatantly illegal that the soldier is required not to follow it?

I assume you mean seppuku, the Japanese ritualistic suicide by disembowelment, and not cells getting frustrated by number puzzles.

“That’s a good question! While Elon would seem to be the best choice due to his history of extreme right-wing comments, Mussolini has the added benefit of being dead, so he would be the best.”

“Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they’re all out of you!”

This sounds like any website suddenly becomes an app store as soon as it starts distributing software for a mobile device. So (ignoring my following point), if I suddenly post my new APK on my personal site suddenly it’s an app store!?

I think so. The intention is probably to have the law cover any method of getting your hands on an app, not just what we typically know as “app stores”. Otherwise, it would leave a loophole.

This sounds like it includes laptops but not desktop computers.

I thought that at first too, but I think the part at the end about “handheld electronic devices” is what limits it to not include laptops.

But they DID curse. Did those asterisks magically remove all meaning from those words, or were you still perfectly able to understand their meaning? If it’s the latter, then the asterisks accomplished nothing.

If they truly wanted to avoid cursing, those words wouldn’t be there at all. Self-censoring like they did is what needs to be done on some platforms to still curse, but bypass content filters. That isn’t necessary here, so it’s just performative. If you’re going to curse, just fucking do it.

Interrobang‽

Ah, thanks. Not sure why the previous poster said the flight was cancelled.

I mean, many flights get cancelled every day for a wide variety of reasons. While it’s possible that someone with power ordered the flight cancelled because this guy was on it, it seems far more likely that it was for some mundane reason.

They bravely prevented her from catching trans. She didn’t even say thank you.

“Everyone” had nothing to do with my reply. You were saying that transphobia was not common. I quoted the relevant statistic from the survey you linked that implied otherwise.

Thirty-one percent of U.S. adults disapprove of transgender and nonbinary adults living their lives as they wish

That sure doesn’t sound like a niche thing

“I have absolutely no interest or stake in what’s happening, but fuck what’s happening!”

ikr? Trans people want to be part of society, not destroy it.

No, they should not only stay on the air, but lean into this and talk about the situation even more. Being silent on the issue is exactly what those in power want.

The beatings extensions will continue until morale the economy improves.

The bus went off the cliff a while ago. We’re just waiting for the impact.
