This is such a weird comment. Did you read the part that you didn’t quote? If I didn’t read the article, where would I have gotten “Our Lady of Penha” from?

I don’t speak Portuguese. “Our Lady of Penha” sounds…well…I’m making assumptions, let’s just say that. (Ladies are ladies, regardless of Penha.)

I’m just saying that bath water is not discharged from the body. Biowaste might be a better word. Sorry, I know this is not an important point.

I hope you enjoy your autograph collection. :)

Correlation is not causation, friend. Okay, I admit I had to jump at the chance to use that in the opposite direction as normal.

In any group of furries, tech workers are incredibly overrepresented. Furries are a tiny amount of tech workers, to be sure.

I’ve never heard anyone describe dead skin cells as excrement. I try not to be a prescriptivist, but I’m not sure grey water is a legitimate usage.

I don’t understand it either, but using a word that most often means “fecal matter” tends to make things less attractive.

I feel bad for people who grew up with cameras on them every second of their existence. Most of the shit I did in my 20s would ruin someone’s life now. I love Gen Z. They’re more “square” but, gestures at everything.

Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

That’s the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don’t remember anymore.

The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn’t give access to the file system.

Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.

I do too. I haven’t used it in about 10 years, and this is at least the fourth computer it has been in. Maybe I don’t need it anymore, but if I throw it away, then I’ll surely have to read a DVD.

I wish.

The Gadsden flag is based on the earlier Join or Die political cartoon. It is a symbol of the American Revolution, and it is generally understood to mean an opposition to state coercion.

Which makes it a direct contradiction to the “Blue Lives Matter” flag. The popularity of the combination of these two directly contradicting statements shows that conservatives are idiots who don’t stand for anything. I call it the “Tread on them” combo.

Jamie Loftus crying and screaming right now.

This point has general merit, but I cannot stress strongly enough Fuck the NYT.

YouTube pushes right wing content because right wing goals benefit their owners. I don’t know how you define “right wing company”, but what else would you call a company that promotes fascists and strictly polices leftists?

There’s way too much malice in the world to rely on pithy witticisms too heavily.

This is odd to say when the YouTube algorithm has been proven to push right wing propaganda.

The concept of “conspiracies” is a bit off. It’s not a “conspiracy” when Bezos kills the Washington Post’s endorsement of Harris, or fires journalists who criticize him. YouTube doesn’t need to remove a video if the algorithm never shows it to anybody.

It is kinda crazy to imagine a secret cabal of rich people who surreptitiously run the world, rather than the well known cabal of rich people who openly run the world.

In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.

I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?

Sounds like you have decent privacy settings. Imagine sharing location data with ChatGPT.
