Another story mentions that his staff is terrified of not wearing the shoes and incurring his wrath, which leads to the suggestion that the entire oval office is now staffed by people whose shoes don't fit.

β€œWow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day

the one nice thing i will say about Elon Musk, compared to Stormfront, is that he has not yet called for me personally to be executed as a race traitor

"thankfully" this is a 60/40 R district, so a republican running as a democrat probably doesn't matter anyways

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

People only behave like this if they don't think there will be consequences. Our job, as a society, is to make sure they *do* face consequences.

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

On second thought, maybe I don't.

the "hygiene" subreddit really captures the extremes of human existence, from "my bf smells like poo because he thinks it's gay to touch his own butt" to "my gf uses PUBLIC TRANSIT and doesn't change her clothes before sitting on my couch & i'm tired of disinfecting my couch every time she leaves"

a diagram of a waffle funnel with "your post" at the top. through the funnel there are several cross-sections:

- audience: you, comprehension of your post: 100%
- audience: followers, comprehension of your post: 90%
- audience: followers of followers, comprehension of your post: 50%
- audience: followers of followers of followers, comprehension of your post: 20%

through the bottom of the funnel are "replies to your post" with several waffles with stinky lines

i'm shocked he's used pokemon IP in three (!) social media posts and has only gotten warnings from The Pokemon Company's lawyers and not an actual lawsuit or C&D

OTOH both of these naming schemes are significantly better than JK Rowling's "just take my character names from random tombstones in the cemetery across the street"

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.
