I made it a lot farther before I just couldn’t anymore. I was kinda hoping for some kind of real self-reflection or ability to further understand the mindset of people like him but it’s just the same “sigma grindset” bullshit they always spout.
In this thread, everyone getting caught up on the first toot and not the second where he clarifies his point.
If you step past the initial investment of buying a house, the analogy makes perfect sense. When you rent an apartment, your landlord (the provider) takes care of all the maintenance; you just live there and you get what you get. When you own a home, you take care of all of the maintenance, but you get to set the place up however you like. This isn’t that different from a lot of FOSS out there.
If you really want to make everyone mad, it’s not “gif” or “jif” it’s “jyfe”

- I believe flags are sorted alphabetically by how they are internally represented. All flags are a combination of two special letter-symbols. For the UK flag, these two symbols are “GB”, therefore the UK flag should be much earlier.
- 🇺🇸 (Flag of the USA [code: US]) ≠ 🇺🇲 (Flag of the US Outlying Islands [code: UM])
Yes, the first US flag, which most people pick, is actually the flag of the US Outlying Islands. Whenever you see someone use the US flag emoji, check whether they accidentally used the " wrong" one.
I’m not sure where that part of the post comes from. The source says “The judge said he will apppoint(sic) an independent receiver to manage the dissolution of the corporations whose business certificates he canceled.” Which I can only take to mean that the judge is doing the appointing, not Trump.
For me, it has a picture where it specifies a “polypropylene container”.
There’s also this bit from near the end of the abstract:
Additionally, the polyethylene-based food pouch released more particles than polypropylene-based plastic containers. Exposure modeling results suggested that the highest estimated daily intake was 20.3 ng/kg·day for infants drinking microwaved water and 22.1 ng/kg·day for toddlers consuming microwaved dairy products from polypropylene containers.
So, they’re, at least, discussing polypropylene and polyethylene.
The patina on that crown leads me to believe it’s actually copper or bronze. You might want to shoot for metallics that emulate those more than gold.
Put simply, yes. Without explicit help to those that have less now, future generations simply lack the means to access those opportunities.
Take, for example, the situation ultimately presented in the article: if the person/people that are doling out the money have even a small amount of bias against a class of people, the result is that - outside of forcing investors to make what they see as bad investments - they will categorically invest less in that class of people. It doesn’t actually matter what class it is.
These laws might prevent us from codifying our biases into contract or other law, but they do absolutely nothing to solve the problem the bias itself causes.
Pro tip: Don’t consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.
There are a lot of articles about this out there (here’s one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I’ve been able to tell.
The root path for kbin is currently always “all”. I actually have a PR up right now to change this to what people actually expect to happen.
There isn’t a native mobile app, but this website is what’s known as a “progressive web application”. This means that you can just add it directly to your home screen and it will act app-like. See this thread for exact iOS instructions. Android is similar but does depend on which browser you’re using.
Correct. Freedom of Speech does not imply freedom from consequence and only protects you from the government. The State can’t tell you what you’re allowed say and can’t jail you for saying them (outside of a limited band of things that have been thoroughly litigated). However, that does nothing to modify the social contract. If you say something that most people don’t like, they’re going to get you to stop saying it one way or another.
