I think according to my moral standards I should be vegan, but I'm only vegetarian.

This is NOT just, ‘Trump being Trump.’ It’s Trump being classless.

...where have you been the last, like, 79 years? Trump is classlessness personified.

The fact that Trump just randomly tore down part of the White House still makes me laugh.

What does the writer think "effort" means? What does the writer think anything means?

While he denied the claim, he did admit to getting a massage while at Epstein’s house, although he stated that he kept his underwear on and did not enjoy it.

I guess it's only sexual abuse if you enjoy it...

On a serious note, there is just no bottom to the depravity of the US ruling class, is there?

The author wanted to make Mamdani's policies sound bad, but all I could think after each paragraph was "hell yeah".

Here's a sobering thought: You think all these predators suddenly stopped trafficking and raping girls once Epstein was dead? This shit is still happening in other dark places more likely than not.

I'm sure I have a bunch, but for the fediverse I think the most controversial is that I think neopronouns are a bad idea. DISCLAIMER I support queer folks, and I also use neopronouns when requested (because there's zero reason to be a dick about it), but I think everybody would be better off without them.

The entire purpose of pronouns is to offer a quick, generic (i. e. non-individual) way of referring to people or objects without using their names. Using neopronouns which have to be communicated and learned first is the opposite of that. So in my view they're not really pronouns, just additional names one has to learn for a person.

I think the most sensible way of accommodating all genders is using whatever pronouns are present in the language (usually male and female, or a generic pronoun), plus a non-binary pronoun if needed, like singular they in English.

How is the entire state of Minnesota not on a general strike by now? There's a paramilitary group marauding their streets and kidnapping and killing people.

I'm intrigued by the border between salad and broth.

The wild thing is, I think it's literally true that the MAGA base would be more fazed by Trump having gay sex than by him raping a girl.

Für diesen Schindluder wurde Energie verbraucht und unsere Erde ein bisschen mehr verpestet.

Writing this from Linux which I installed last fall in lieu of the Windows 11 update.
I'm still using both OS via dual boot, and I still have some unresolved issues on Linux, but I will fully transition during the course of this year.
One thing that is really mind-blowing is the difference in performance on my ~7 y/o laptop. My Linux Mint is just lightning fast compared to Windows 10. You can quite literally feel how Windows runs a thousand random things in the background (most of which I never asked for) whereas Linux feels very clean and... empty, but in a good way.

Good.

Yikes. Release the files but please don't release a pic of Trump in a bikini!

What’s stopping people you know from taking this step?

I'm a noob when it comes to IT. (Even though in my family I'm the one people ask when they have computer issues lol.) I would really like to get into self-hosting and all that, and I think if I found some good guides I would probably be able to make things work, but it still sounds very daunting to me. Like, I imagine days if not weeks of sifting through online resources to fix a thousand little errors and issues that would come up. (Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe it's all really easy even for noobs. Just trying to explain my feelings on the matter.)

Edit: Woke up to 10 replies lol. Thanks for everybody's input and helpful links. I think this might become a future project for me, but not before winter 26/27 (for life reasons).

Fellow cis male dad, had to read till the third paragraph to realise I've been in the exact same situation before.

Plot twist: Legolas knows; but he also knows that blood is spilled every night in this God-forsaken world.

Have we seen any evidence that they were in fact carrying drugs?

Second meme/joke about blinding stew I see in 2 minutes, what's this all about?
