"ROI? Return on Investment?" "No, Radio on the Internet."

Even a cursory glance at the legal code should convince you that "free speech" is a convenient fantasy mostly used to hoodwink liberals into supporting the KKK. Why not call it a "…

Well, sure. But it sure as hell aint't diplomacy and peace that built this society we live in now. Or at least, not a good sort of peace. That's especially true for the US and Cana…

Consent is important

Really? I am not a lawyer, but from what I recall this would fall squarely under defamatory speech.

I'm quite the introvert. I just am flummoxed why you would build around something so much less substantial than equitable distribution of resources, which necessarily implies our b…

odd choice to be forced to make, but I would prefer being electrocuted to burning my face off.

Isn't this a wittgensteinian problem? ie how you interpret language is inherently subjective. But regardless of what language you use, or how you intend to bind the terms to realit…

Back? This country was built on taking and retaining land with violence. We just call it "property" now and act like everyone thinks this is fine. we now refer to human sacrifices …

Well we have plenty of records of people who did pay attention. (American?) Society as a whole isn't very good at focusing on what will care about in the future. Anyway, it's not e…

I mean you could, but we're inherently dependent on each other. I'm not sure I see the value of building a society around personal liberty. It wouldn't make much of a society, woul…

> Anyone who thinks Google or Chrome is evil has no idea the scope or scale of what/where evil is. There are degrees of evil. I mean sure they're not murdering babies, but they're …

> The use of the word 'insane' is a bit strong of you don't mean disrespect. I'm insane, too. All the best people are. > But your argument seems to be: the authors didn't pay much …

The Years of Rice and Salt is amazing, very vivid characters, and (SPOILER) it's amazing how he ties in multiple lifetimes. Shaman is another one I'd recommend.

> Also, it’s quite boring that these people say the same thing for decades now. It’s quite simple nowadays to predict how these “unlike me” people will “think” on every single topi…

> The goal of the Privacy Sandbox initiative is to develop new ways to strengthen online privacy while ensuring a sustainable, ad-supported internet. What a joke

Everything I've heard from word of mouth has been absolutely negative. Of course this has to be taken with a large rock of salt—who knows how reliable or representative this is—but…

> My interpretation of the ending is not optimistic - they had to go to the stars to try again, but they did persevere in a way on Mars. Humans managed to avoid the collapse of hum…

I would argue the interesting part is that these shapes are nearly impossible to find outside of human society. Sure you can find quasi-crystals and straight lines occasionally, bu…

I've been on the internet for twenty-some-odd years and at some point this attitude has come to feel like willful ignorance (generally; i do agree that it is unsurprising that crow…

I suppose if what you don't like about twitter is the people there (or the moderation), bluesky would make a lot of sense. I can't help but feel like the combination of catering to…
