On the one hand: Good. Google is a monopoly and they suck, too.
On the other, I don’t trust the trump administration to do anything correctly. They’ll probably try to give google to Musk or something.

It’s frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where’s the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.
I don’t think you can use Eldritch blast for sex stuff, not even with the push/pull effects, because the damage would kill people too easily
I feel like wizards are much better with their hands, what with all those somatic components. Sure, a barbarian can thrust hard and pick you up, but a wizard can do some unreal things with his hands and tongue.
Also mage hand definitely get used for weird sex stuff.
I’m pretty sure Trump could eat maga’s babies in front of them and they’d still vote for him.
Like that anti-vaxxer lady whose kid died of measles and is still anti-vax.
No material effects will change them. Their identity and fragile ego is wrapped up in this.
We can’t fix it but we could probably fix Miller so he can’t hurt anyone ever again.
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
Aside from that, there are a distressing amount of people who think violence is never okay. And by violence I mean direct, immediate, violence. Denying someone health care for profit is cool. Telling someone to work an extra unpaid hour or they’ll be fired, and risk eviction and starvation, that’s fine. But the idea of taking an ultra wealthy man’s blood soaked money by force? Fetch the pearls and smelling salts, it’s pearl clutching and fainting time.
Yes, yes, non-violent protest is allegedly more effective*, but I’m not going to be mad if some rich asshole gets his skull cracked.
* but like is it though? we still have a capitalist hellscape
There’s that picture with the “no one wants to work anymore” quotes going back to like 1820?
From the top of my head
I want to like Into the Breach but it’s too stressful. Like, when I fuck up in FTL and the crew dies it sucks, but when I fuck up in Into the Breach and all those civilians die? Oof. They were counting on me!
True. Saying you got fired sounds like you fucked up. Maybe “dismissed” is more neutral without being totally PR Speak?
Anyone else dislike the phrase “let go” in this context? It sounds like you’re doing them a favor, or they were being held hostage, or giving them permission to do something. I’d prefer “fired” or “terminated”, even though those have their own connotation problems.
Meme’s relatable, though. This capitalist hellscape is awful.
That’s one of the recurring ironies. Most of the stuff anti-car-culture people are pushing for (eg: more trains, this photo, etc) make it better for the people who do drive
Maybe the design is bad, then.
I still want to see some sort of honey pot for ICE and the other goons. Like leak there’s going to be a big “illegals” celebration in a meeting hall, wait for them to show up, then lock the doors. Fill room with carbon monoxide. Let them pass out and die while looking for their victims.
Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
I’m still irritated about when I was a youth I found a somewhat obvious security hole, and took advantage of it in a mildly funny way, the staff just punished me.
You weren’t supposed to be able to change the desktop background, but for some reason MS Paint had a “set to background” option that worked. So I set the background to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the icons and start menu. Later, the teacher thought the computer was broken because “nothing was working”.
I think it could’ve been a good teaching moment. A talk about not messing shared resources up, and channel my interests somewhere productive. Nope. Just a lecture and week long library ban. Disappointed.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to build a healthy social network.
Smaller communities can work, if they’re well moderated. The small size also helps norms become established.
Once the network gets really big, you have eternal September problems. You have too many bad actors in absolute numbers to deal with.
So yeah, the problem is us but we suck.
Maybe federation would work, since that can keep the moderation workload smaller and distributed.
Not enough political will from the masses. Too busy being mad about immigrants and trans people.
Also the police are the enthusiastic bootlickers of capital, and people don’t want to get shot at after marching into a CEO’s office and throwing him out the 20th story window.
