I had requested that this account be deleted last week. Until kbin.social's admin gets off their ass and deletes my account, I will continue to shitpost. If this offends, block me and get on with your life.

  • We Don't Read Wynand -- or Bezos

  • Common Voice - Donate your voice to teach machines how people speak | Mozilla
  • Funny that you think $10,000,000 is "a little money", but whatever.

  • Nobody wants to work. The battle cry of the capitalists that has echoed throughout the century.
  • I never wanted to work, but I don't have the looks or personality to be some rich career woman's fuckbutler.

  • Liz Cheney weighs third-party US presidential run, says Trump threatens democracy
  • If she runs, and people vote for her, she's probably going to help Trump win.

    Frankly, the people in the best position to ensure that Trump doesn't get elected again are the Secret Service detail protecting him.

  • ... and you feel nothing.
  • Frankly, the Cybertruck looks like Elon Musk tried (and failed miserably) to create a better Pontiac Aztek.

  • Most "simulation" games aren't simulators
  • Since 14 is an MMO you’ve really only missed two main-series games

    You can play most of it solo, aside from some of the major boss fights, and it's both a "greatest hits" nostalgia trip and a damned good FF in its own right once you get into the Heavensward expansion and beyond.

  • Most "simulation" games aren't simulators
  • What are the new Final Fantasies like? 8 was the last one I “beat” and then I never played 9 because the characters looked so cartoonish.

    With its protagonist Noctis as the chosen lightbringer, Final Fantasy XV was just an Andrew Lloyd Webber song away from being Lucifer Christ Superstar.

    And Final Fantasy XVI is basically Devil May Cry with a story that resembles a George R. R. Martin fanfic only if you aren't familiar with Michael Moorcock's Hawkmoon stories.

  • An Early Warning That Policing May Be in Decline | Police departments across the country are solving far fewer crimes than they did before 2020.
  • I had an outlier experience as have you, but that doesn’t change the role racism and bias play in policing.

    Nor does it change the role class and bias play in policing. My family might have been white, but it was poor white trash. If your family wasn't poor enough for you to need a lesson in how to talk to pigs so that they don't beat the shit out of you, then bully for you. But don't tell you me you know shit about most white people. You don't know any more than I do.

  • Streaming Platforms Have a Profitability Problem
  • If you've got time to be needlessly pedantic about shitposts, you've got time to practice your gun kata. Piss off.

  • It is not illegal to believe in a God nor will it ever.
  • Do you want my honest opinion? I call it demon worship.

  • It is not illegal to believe in a God nor will it ever.
  • As far as I'm concerned, anybody who claims to be a Christian is a Christian. Who am I to suggest otherwise? And if a self-identified Christian proves to be a hateful, tyrannical asshole, that's your problem as a fellow Christian. It's no concern of mine.

  • Unusual names can complicate life in Japan. Now parents are being reined in.
  • Might make shit easier for trans people, too.

  • Streaming Platforms Have a Profitability Problem
  • pics aren't streaming video

  • Firefox is on the brink of being dropped by the US Government
  • That's because the US government outsources a lot of software development to consulting firms who bill hourly for developer time while paying the developers a fixed salary. Even though these developers have to do at least 40 billable hours a week, they don't get time and a half for overtime.

  • Common Voice - Donate your voice to teach machines how people speak | Mozilla
  • Mozilla wants data that can be used to impersonate me? They can fucking well pay me for it.

  • Suggestion for a nice File manager?
  • /bin/sh is everything you ever needed.

  • Firefox is on the brink of being dropped by the US Government
  • Here are a few names you can blame in addition to the USWDS:

    • Deloitte
    • Accenture
    • Ernst & Young
    • KPMG
    • PwC

    The four corporations other Accenture constitute the US' "Big 4 accounting firms", and they get a shitload of money from local, state, and the Federal government to develop software for them at taxpayer expense -- and none of this publicly-funded code is FOSS.

  • Unusual names can complicate life in Japan. Now parents are being reined in.
  • I wonder how many problems we might solve (and create) if the law allowed people to choose their own names once they become legal adults. Make it a rite of passage, you know?

  • An Early Warning That Policing May Be in Decline | Police departments across the country are solving far fewer crimes than they did before 2020.
  • I'm white, and my father damn well talked to me about the police. He told me to be polite and cooperative until they ask to search my shit or want to ask questions. Until that point, it's, "Yes, officer", "No, officer", and "It won't happen again, officer". But if they go to search or want to ask questions, it's "Officer, I do not consent to a search" and "Officer, I stand on my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent".

  • "When You Don't See Me" by The Sisters of Mercy (lyrics on genius.com)

    As somebody who's spent most of his life masking to get along in society, this track from The Sisters of Mercy's 1990 album Vision Thing has always made me feel seen.

    > > > Oh, it's kind of different when you're there > You can lease the peace of mind > You bought a mask, I put it on > You never thought to ask me > If I wear it when you're gone > >
