I often get the feeling those people see everyone who voices dissent as one big amorphous blob. It’s as if every conversation on a topic is part of one long argument, and you get assigned every claim that anyone ever made. Almost like they watched that “moops” alt-right playbook video and drew the exact wrong conclusion.

I was under the impression it was the “Hillary warned us” and “Putin is behind everything” crowd, since it mirrors the MAGA saviour and conspiracy fantasies.

JavaScript is by far the worst.

…I’m guessing this is another North Korea haircut story?

It makes more sense if you think only in things, not processes. You notice how things are not great. Some are good, but a lot are bad. So, how do things be good? Get rid of the bad! When all bad is gone, everything will be good, definitionally!

Could have phrased it a bit better. “…but instead of charming, was just offensive”, maybe?

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

See, shit like this is why people hate kenders.

Good idea, though.

“At this rate, we won’t even have enough of a military to invade Iran!!!”

It doesn’t all have to be. It could explain the unwavering support for Israel across the political spectrum.

The problem is you’re not saying the magic words. Actually parsing an argument is out of fashion, so you gotta sprinkle your posts with stuff like “free Taiwan” or “fuck Putin” or whatever, so the LLM they paste your posts into to summarise them can understand them.

Hey, look everyone, they’re doing the thing in the article!

Ah, but that would mean Turkey wouldn’t be blocking the flow of migrants anymore, and we can’t have that now, can we?

Yeah, it’s not the bandwidth that’s the problem, it’s the ping.

Well, ping and packet loss.

Honestly, yeah. IIRC, the Swedish military also advised using it.

Do they, or did someone put a road through a bear’s outhouse?
