I gave up on it because I’ve tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don’t mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.
That’s what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that’d be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it’s unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it’s not in a case.
I’ll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town’s PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber…
And if it wasn’t for the fact that Twitter boosts the idiots and smacks down people for rebuttals, I’d agree. For the free speech absolutism to work, it needs to be absolute, not “free speech” being “things the idiot in chief agrees with”
Always neat to see Tweets of people who are about to be blocked by Scott Adams
It’s quickly turning into another Parler or Truth Social
I feel like my objections to anti-abortion laws are playing out just as I feared. I’m against abortion but I feel like easier access and less stigma around birth control is a big part of preventing abortions. My main objection was I knew right wingers would make no distinctions between any kind of abortions, even to save lives of women. And son of a gun, unfortunately I was right.
Ignorance is a choice, too. I’ve met so many people who are proud of being ignorant. I once met a woman who was in her mid 30s who was explicitly against learning new things because…reasons?
Good Lord they established that Pike and Batel have a relationship in the first episode.
Rigel 7 is literally a callback to The Cage
It’s a funny anecdote from the creator of Men in Black about being shut down for mansplaining the origins of Men in Black. Yikes.
Just going to tell the story that I broke one of the cardinal rules of PCMR by drunkenly pointing out the origin of “master race” when someone in a PCMR thread was going on about some other group being offensive and how PCMR was so much better.
It’s always been tongue in cheek; it’s meant to be a statement that PCs are superior to consoles. At a certain point it seems like PCMR just turned into talking about PCs. And that’s fine. The sticky thing about it is, if it’s not about jokingly talking about PCs being superior, does it need to be PCMR? On the other hand it’s dang near a brand at this point. Can you move a PCMR audience over to something else entirely?
I tried that once. Don’t eat the Milk Duds that come out of a rabbit, trust me, they taste like shit.
