Praising Doritos for being consistently disgusting. Weird flex but okay.

No need to apologise. I used to do quality assurance for a living. It’s a muscle that still reflexes from time to time.

There’s a typo in the bottom-right square (should be “complaining”), and at the risk of checking off one of your boxes, this isn’t technically a BINGO card as you’ve only got three rows and three columns. Nice ING card though! 😁

Edit: found another typo after posting, col 1 row 2 should be “someone”.

Twice a day, so the gaskets don’t dry out and leak.

Pebble: 30 days of battery life

Also Pebble: 30 days manufacturer warranty

So the warranty expires when the battery does. Lol.

Edit: still loving my Time Round even though it hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade.

Yeah, no thanks. I choose a life of poverty instead. Enjoy your grind in a collapsing system.

Yeah, I can totally empathise. I used to work in QA for a couple different software companies, including around CVEs and security bug bounty programs. One company scaled back their QA department to near nothing, the other eliminated QA altogether, instead relying on devs to QA their own stuff or automation. It’s not going well for either of them.

Not going to downvote this because the source article is useful, but OP’s take is ludicrous. Have we really reached the point where ALL media is propaganda?

It might be time to unplug society and plug it back in again.

It reminds me of when climate hoaxers claim the hole in the ozone layer shrinking proves those campaigning to fix it were just fearmongering.

Thank you for clarifying my misunderstandings. I’m not an EU citizen so I’m not well experienced on how the EU works. What I wrote was based on my understanding as an outsider reading various sources. I appreciate you taking the time to correct what I didn’t get quite right.

At any rate, looks like Germany flipped back to opposed yesterday. Keep up the pressure everyone, it’s working.

We’re still working with the previous one. 12 September was the deadline for member states to finalise their position (notably Germany flipped from OPPOSED to UNDECIDED just before the deadline). What happens next is the final vote by MEPs on 14 Oct.

So it’s another opportunity to try to stop the same law as it passes to its final stage. Though even if it passes I assume member states that don’t like it can still just refuse to implement it, particularly those opposing it on constitutional grounds. IANAL, but if Orbán can pick and choose which EU laws Hungary implements then why can’t other member states?

Bothsidesing whereby an organisation presents propaganda from the left and the right as equally factual to construct a straw man of a middle ground as truth is definitely bad, as is presenting one side’s propaganda as the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I expect any legitimate news outlet to inform the public of the nuance on a given topic because it is within the nuance where the truth often lies. It is then helpful and informative to present how “both sides” are trying to frame that topic by excluding the nuance, thereby obscuring the truth. Journalism as a public service is there to inform me about what is happening in depth and in a debiased manner so I can think critically about it (if the UK has any news outlets that meet this standard, that’s news to me). Painting real, hard journalism as “bothsidesing” only serves to destroy the concept of nuance, which is just about the only thing both sides can agree on: destroy the middle ground and they’ll be able to keep us pawns fighting forever.

You may think having a Nigel Farage or Fox News for the left brings balance but it doesn’t. It only serves to keep us fighting each other rather than fighting the status quo. If you’re reading the Canary solely for entertainment and are able to consistently view it as such then fair enough I guess, just don’t call it news.

To be clear, I am not claiming that you personally are participating in any of the above, just calling out a general worrying trend I am witnessing in our discourse.

Don’t follow the lights.

I’ve used both in the past but am now using neither. If being able to use a custom domain is a requirement then you really only have one option between these two: mailbox.org.

Neither of them truly “win” though and I wish people would stop it with these reductive questions.

Oh, I got the joke. I just think my joke was as funny. Nice to see it went over your head as much as you think yours did with me.

Pretty sure atheists are smart enough to realize video games are a work of fiction, just like gods.

Great, so now I feel guilty about my anxiety.

I see the vegans are escalating their tactics.
