I couldn't be more on topic.

Some people are soooooo mad that I know things. Sooooooo weird. Soooooo sad.

My primary content on Feceboot was 1) opposing child rapists and 2) opposing white supremacists. They kicked me off without explanation. I choose to take this to mean that they kicked me off because they support 1) child rape and 2) white supremacy.

It might be wrong, but it matches my experience, and they will never disagree... exactly like how Trump never sues anyone who points out that he raped kids.

Yes, if you equate all Jews with Zionists, you're either a Nazi or something else equally stupid and shit.

Several studies showed that right wing speech was amplified and left wing speech was muted on old twitter, so any time you see someone claiming that the opposite was true you know you're seeing some bullshit from an ignorant chucklefuck.

It isn't domain squatting because he abandoned the trademark. He could have kept it around and done ANYTHING with it and kept it, but he didn't do that. Changing the branding was a primary concern, so there's no leg to stand on that it wasn't done intentionally. Sure he will sue, and he will lose.

Bluesky doesn't have discussion groups. It just has posts and replies.

It also has a lot of ongoing discussion. I just got shared in a distribution list and picked up about 100 more followers, whee. (I am up to 1600, NBD.) The same kind of pedo-opposing content that literally got me kicked off of Feceboot (they wouldn't tell me why they removed me, so I assume it was because I opposed child rape publicly) is making me minorly popular on Bsky.

I googled playdate panic and got your mom's number.

The company making that charger has a real name, usually IME beginning with "Shenzen" since they all seem to be there. Then the same product has twenty different Scrabble tile names attached to it and it's sold under all of them. I'm not sure if this is mostly done by one company using a bunch of names, or separate companies, but they all use the same font for branding (Impact) so they all LOOK the same. But SOME listings will give you the manufacturer's info as well as the brand.

Oh look, it moves the goalposts again

Facebook was founded to gather information about women to make it easier to trick them into having sex. So, yeah, kinda? The mission is abuse, but that tracks.

Because people come here from all over the state specifically because we have better social services. Actually, people literally come to the county I live in because we have better social services. I know this is true because some of them have told me personally.

The official estimate is that somewhere around 20% of California's homeless came here after becoming homeless. But there's also a grey area where people moved here for work which didn't pan out and then became homeless as a result. They moved here because conditions in their state wouldn't support them just the same as the people who were already homeless. Then they can get stuck here and we have to support them (it is after all the only human thing to do) even though they never made any significant contribution to the state. It costs us so much to support people that we actually have a thing called TAP (Transportation Assistance Program) which gives people cash money to use to go somewhere else where someone says they will take them in. It's mostly bus tickets but there are other solutions available as well.

The important thing to remember is that we don't get to decide how the tax money is spent until we get it back from the feds, and these programs are not designed to provide sufficient care (The S in SNAP stands for supplemental) so they don't actually pay for anything like the full impact of caring for people. Then the state has to pick up the slack, and when you're having to do that for the whole country it can get expensive fast.

The same keyboard never produces these results on my Linux systems, so no.

There's more realistic ways to solve the problem, like rotating staff.

With dirigibles you could add more shielding, but then you also wouldn't have this problem.

They're cutting the spines off. You think they will re-bind them for resale?

You forgot that we're discussing books out of copyright. You have to read all the comments in the thread before replying or you'll make stupid mistakes like this.

The two articles were probably written by two different ghost-writers.
