I don’t think it’s anything that remotely “kind”. I think it’s an attempt to further the wealth divide using intelligence as a proxy to try and perpetuate a more easily controlled populace.

If you want an easily controlled populace, wouldn’t you want to increase the amount of intelligent people opting out of perpetuating their intelligence? Wouldn’t you want more of the type of person who would have a kid by accident?

I get that intelligence propagates through teaching, adopting is a thing, etc, but I’m talking broad strokes here.

I’ll fully admit it’s conspiracy minded as all hell and awful close to “race replacement” bullshit (get me a vomit bag please). I just look at the type of people who are choosing to not have kids lately and go “but you’re the exact type of people who are being a wonderful thorn in the side of the billionaires! We need more of you!”

So get teaching. Go be a community role model. Make sure you spread the knowledge and amti-establishment attitude even if you don’t have crotch goblins.

As evidence: How the fuck is a company as big as Microsoft letting their CEO keep making such embarassing public statements? How the fuck has he not been forced into more public speaking training by the board?

This is like the 4th “gaffe” of his since the start of the year!

You don’t usually need “social permission” to do something good. Mentioning that is at best, publicly stating that you think you know what’s best for society (and they don’t). I think the more direct interpretation is that you’re openly admitting you’re doing the type of thing that you should have asked permission for, but didn’t.

This is past the point of open desperation.

Was there anything at all that helped?

Sounds frustratingly similar to something I’ve been dealing with.

And yet another reminder of why industry standard for pretty much any software is to delay non-security patches for a set period of time.

It’s just extra bullshit that Microsoft’s QA department is so godawful. No excuse for a company their size to not have these patches thoroughly "dog food"ed before they even think about pushing them to the public.

It’s funny you think you deserve even as much as I gave you when you put so much effort into talking down at the people who you think should be piling their own corpses in the street.

“hurr durr” are you fucking kidding me with that shit? Did I take a time warp back to being a teen in the mid 2000s? Should we start calling things retarded and gay again while we’re at it?

And the two points I’m making are pretty damn direct. Maybe you should work on the education situation where you’re at if you’re having trouble keeping up.

There have also been a rash recently of newly created accounts making 3-10 posts to comics comms and then bouncing (deleting the account or just not doing anything else).

“Why isn’t the whole of the UK on fire? Don’t you see what’s going on in Jaywick? Why do all you people suck so bad that you aren’t setting everything on fire? Clearly the problem is you.”

Hush now, people who actually have first hand experience with the country and populace are talking.

Last.fm is probably the closest thing functionality-wise to what you’re looking for as far as reccomendations go.

You can “scrobble” or log what you’ve listened to or enjoyed from a metric ton of sources, and reccomendations are based off the user community and tagging. Covers popular to underground and everything in between.

Not sure what the whole “federated” part of this adds to anything.

Not sure the exact age, but it’s xkcd 1288, they’re up to 3195 now, and they’re usually posted every Monday Wednesday and Friday.

Napkin math says roughly 12 and a quarter years ago. (3195 - 1288 for total comics since, / 3 for number of weeks since, / 52 for number of years since, gets you 12.22 ish)

There’s some slightly more recent ones that are still many years old:

1625:

And 1697:

Lord, Channing Tatum. The Big Bang Theory. Truly from a different time.

I don’t get why these lazy one-off text replacement extensions keep making “tech news”. You can do this shit easily with a short userscript, and there are plenty of extensions for practically every browser that let you set your own text replacement settings. No need for individual extensions for each.

Lol, Palantir doesn’t care remotely enough to make an excuse like that. They’re openly proud of what they do.
