@BigShellEvent Ooooo you are so correct. All I saw was the one post.
..aaaaand gone. 💥✅️
Update: wow, the post history was pretty obvious spam. I was just looking at one post...
Removed.
Does this qualify as advertising, and therefore I should boot them?
It was a bit of a reach to think it would be anything else, but I wanted to leave room to be pleasantly surprised...
Making dinner:
Kid: It says "5 potatoes cubed" which is 125 potatoes.
Me: No. It's still 5 potatoes, because potatoes are a root vegetable.
It makes logistical sense to me -- if the ports have genders, then every docking has to be heteronormative. What happens if two ships just wanna cuddle? Or if you want to expand your space-station by docking it with another space-station?
(Gendered docking means you automatically fail the Space Bechdel Test, every time... for all humankind...)
This would be a post about USB connectors, except that's even worse.
@redsad They don't actually want to reduce crime; they want to be seen doing things which they can convince their base will reduce crime is "fighting crime", and also it needs to have at least a little bit of sadism in it to help direct their rage and fear.
@blogdiva I'm gonna vote "no" on that one...
Not because of who is saying it, but because (a) retreating to nature doesn't make you any safer from a system that is wrecking the global ecosystem and climate, and (b) it's not technology per se that is making us less free, it's people using technology to collect power and then use that power abusively.

@wurzelmann There is clearly something wrong with me, because at 61 (supposedly) I'm still the first item on that list (and not unhappy at how much closer that reality has come).
Honestly, this article on "Doggerland" is absolutely fascinating
"The floor of the North Sea is now recognized as the largest well-preserved prehistoric archaeological landscape in the world. It would have been a paradise for the bands of hunter-gatherers who followed the retreating ice sheets into the region to settle there. They, however, were not Doggerland’s first inhabitants. Millennia prior to their arrival, the North Sea basin had belonged to Neanderthals, who lived there for hundreds of thousands of years."
This is why I keep not getting myself a new smartwatch and instead bought another G-Watch (complete with Finicky Charging Capability™) for $30: all* the newer ones have round screens.
(* for somewhat loose definitions of "all", I guess)
@tankgrrl So... I did a Google image search for just the chart (I did try Tineye first; no luck), and apparently it was intended as satire.
But wait, there's more: Google, of course, inserted an LLM-generated summary -- which explains that it was satire: "The graph is a joke meme mocking AI benchmark wars because its vertical Y-axis measures the model number rather than actual performance."
I am now drowning in irony, send help.
@MichaelTBacon Couldn't possibly have had anything to do with political changes, because as we all know both parties are equally committed to the future of American energy independence and sustainability.
