I think the correct phrase should be “We can’t govern”.

We are ungovernable makes it sound like this is something that just happened to the GOP

@Fapper_McFapper

Continuing to treat him like the law doesn’t apply to him isn’t helping either.

@DrChickenbeer I was on Reddit 17 years ago when all the posts were about Lisp and Python programming. If you asked anyone on the site during any given era, the golden age was when they first understood what the site was about.

@nifty I have nothing against Ruby and think it’s a nice flexible language. At the peak of RoR though, all the asshats were all over Ruby.

My problem with Ruby wasn’t even RoR, it was with the way the asshats valued creativity “cleverness” which seemed to mean writing code in the most cryptic ways possible. These folks took what should be an expressive language and wrote scripts that rivaled Perl’s worst “read once and never again” scripts.

@Stamets

I’ll simplify things for you. I invented french fries. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty liar

No one can stand him? For a lot of us he’s more the face of the Republicans than McCarthy or McConnell

I’m glad we are done with the “We go high” bullshit with someone who flings mud everywhere. We are all covered in mud. Let’s stop pretending we aren’t.

If Trump wants to make fun of Biden falling down when he runs up a flight of stairs, let’s talk about how Trump is incapable of running and more importantly wouldn’t be able to get up again if he were to fall down.

Facebook paid kids $20 a month to run this app: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/30/18203803/facebook-research-vpn-minors-data-access-apple

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all

TIL Bohemian Rhapsody was formally the highest grossing biopic. I kind of liked the movie but I know a lot of people who obsessed over Freddie Mercury and they all swear the movie is wretched

@as_is_tradition

but if I saw one in my bedroom or bathroom, that’s a dead bug brah.

If a house centipede is living in your bedroom or bathroom, that should tell you that you’ve got a pest problem.

House centipedes are wolves. Wolves don’t just hang around where there’s no prey

@person

Jadzia Dax’s death had the total lack of dignity that I associate with Rick Berman. She didn’t just die suddenly and rather pointlessly. She twitched for a bit while the camera lingered. I really can’t stand this man.

@Nougat
It’s hard to discuss zipper merging because people use to justify all sorts of dick behavior. Zipping through an empty left turn only lane to skip to the head of a right turn only lane for example. That’s not an example of zipper merging but there’s tons of people who I’ve seen argue that’s acceptable behavior.

@ChicoSuave

It’s can be “it has”. “Its” is possessive.

I’m not a Biden fan but I am a realist. If I’ve got to deal with the hand I’m given, I’m going with Biden.

Now how about the media stop hiding how frail Trump is? Can we see him walk up a slight incline without handholds?

Can we see him keep up with other world leaders during a stroll without a gold cart?

Does this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?

There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?

Female is an adjective. People who use it as a noun are suspect as fuck.

@JackGreenEarth

@deleted @justlookingfordragon most people will never make a Reddit account. That’s the typical Reddit user. Those folks will never install the Reddit app.

When Reddit makes a google search like “bicycle review reddit” stop working a huge part of Reddit’s utility will stop existing.

I don’t think spez will rate limit google bots until after Reddit’s IPO.

When the House of Representatives voted in February 1974 to give the House Judiciary Committee subpoena power to investigate Nixon, it did not have the weight of public opinion behind it. According to a poll conducted by Gallup just days before the vote, only 38 percent of Americans were in favor of impeachment. And although a solid majority of Americans did eventually come to support impeachment, that moment didn’t arrive until quite late in the game.
