Vance doesn’t have the rabid fanbase Trump has. The man has the charisma of a wet paper sack.

Trump might be able to pull off keeping the Oval Office. Vance will not.

Of course it has a rock face.

You’re not wrong there.

Sealioning is when someone pretends to be ‘just asking questions’ in good faith in an attempt to sow discord in a community.

It’s technically possible to administer Linux servers with a Nintendo DS.

…Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that you can, in fact, do just that with an actual toy.

This was in response to someone talking about the drones being AI-piloted.

They have an easy tap on what sells, by virtue of running the marketplace.

Find a popular product, make an Amazon Basics version of it, undercut their best vendors, bam! Easy money. And leave the vendors swinging in the breeze with backstock they can’t move any more.

And they own the warehouses. Why not stock them with their own product in preference of vendors?

“The high-tech drones, which are piloted by a team of former military men and nationally ranked professional drone racers…”

Okay, now you’re getting into semantics. I will remind you that the song is titled Jailbait, which means statutory rape. And if you look at the lyrics, the song is written pretty clearly from the point of view of a sleazeball.

Well sure, but that’s not the virus’s fault.

Yeah, you’re not wrong - I’m not counting on it, by any stretch.

But I can hope.

Laws are written by people, in part, to enshrine ethics.

No, not all laws are about ethics, or even about what is just and right. But that’s the basis of the system.

It’s unethical to commit statutory rape, and people have agreed with this sentiment enough to make it very illegal, to the point that you risk jail time for committing it.

The fact that the song is titled ‘Jailbait’ should tell you something about the ethics of that.

It’ll be far, far from the nail in the coffin, but we’re already seeing promising movement among what was normally staunch Trump supporters.

It’s only one avenue to follow though. We still have to do what we can wherever we can.

That’s because the TVs are subsidized by selling your stolen info.

That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.

As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…

You can’t.

…are you seriously complaining like this about the use of the word ‘apopleptic’? It was one word, dude, let it go.

EA and Ubisoft are really duking it out for the first prize in the worst game company competition.

I bailed when they started banning people for upvoting Luigi content. I’d already drastically reduced my usage when the appocalypse happened and RIF no longer worked, but that level of panopticon shit was too much.

…Italians?
