Lol

Elsevier are thugs, they just only pick on nerds.

Tyrell was the senior president of the “What Happens If I Boop That Off The Ledge?!” Club this year.

…where immigrants are objectified and treated exactly as disposably and thoughtlessly as the droids are in Star Wars.

It actually really bothers me how Star Wars loves to charm the audience with charismatic clearly sentient robot slaves and yet doesn’t give a fuck about ANY of the ethical implications of all that fun except for the occasional flavor sideplot. I am tired of people normalizing this and laughing it all off cus aren’t the robot slaves cute when they grumble? (similar thing with LOTR and orcs basically, but ugly because ugly = evil).

They are sentient, it is fucked up to deal with it extremely inconsistently and it demonstrates a stunning lack of understanding of the responsibility storytellers have to subvert dehumanizing narratives that can lead to egregious systematic storytelling issues.

Star Wars unintentionally reflects the culture it came out of in many ways, and not in a good way.

Never Compromise With Fascists

Wait what the flying fuck have they been doing all that money and time.

Yes I think what everyone is trying to say but can’t quite put into words is that reddit is an order of magnitude larger than lemmy like a massive big box store is an order of magnitude larger than a corner mart & cafe and yet nobody would stand in the corner mart & cafe and conclude it felt less human in comparison to the big box store because so many less people passed through its doors.

The environment of a big box store is steeped in distrust and it is a space where spontaneous interaction is codified with deep suspicion.

A local mart or cafe on the otherhand is more likely to suggest trustful grounds to interact that may provide bridges over the roaring rivers of first impression.

That is a difference that is invisible if you are primarily looking through the lens of large statistical noisey trends, but no mistake that unmistakable difference between “big box store” and “cornermart & cafe” is a multiplicative factor acting on every moment and is of the type that can nullify extreme powerbalances by making the entire paradigm that carefully precipitated it irrelevant in a flash.

Yes but add in a third Lemming and it is no longer a flamewar, it becomes a theatrical performance.

wow they didn’t say you could, rude

ICE is precisely the kinda thing the “The Department Of Homeland Security” would be there to defend us from if the DHS wasn’t also full of shit.

Fuck ICE

Hell yeah!

This is why so many highly intelligent people devote as much time in their lives to art as they possibly can.

It is only through art that you can begin to subvert an architecture of stolen and foreclosed futures.

In another world maybe Pynchon just became an unbelievably good editor for aeronautics technical journals.

Let us not forget that the rich, even on the allies side of WW2 (insofar as the rich keep up the theater of needing to pick a side) would rather not have had even a single Alan Turing if they could not impose a conservative trauma upon him and make him deny his basic self, and so he was executed and bigotry was preserved at a terrible cost we can never know the full extent of.

History is a nightmare from which we are trying to awake.

edit I am imagining the person who downvoted me was like “hey, I feel excluded as a homophobic computer nerd by this statement” -> downvote

ahaha like if you are willing to say hateful shit about your wife’s ethnicity publicly like this I am sorry I don’t think you even know where your wife’s clit is and I am confident enough to bet my whole lifesavings on it (I pull out my wallet and machine gun probably out of date or empty Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts gift cards onto the poker table).

There is just no chance you give a shit about the pleasure of another sentient human (who happens to be a woman) enough to make them feel safe and welcome enough to go there with you enough times you could learn The Path Of The True Warrior by heart.

Damn, incels are fun as hell to make fun of, I have to say. Normally bullying fascists feels like more work than this.

Love your wife you pathetic loser, how the fuck do you actually even manage the mental gymnastics of dating someone from an ethnicity you are especially bigoted towards? Is your wife just an exotic beast you show off to your friends (does jdv have those?) and say “most of these are bad but I found myself the one pure example” ?? like eew wtf get out of my government you slimy prick.

I mean, yes he does, there is no way I would trust JD to get me off without a nice premium vibrator if I was woman.

Even if JD could find your clit with his fingers, he would just treat it like he does the women in his life, and caress it emptily and mechanically as if he was patting his favorite sports car on the hood all the while sighing to himself about the objects in his life taking up too much of his money and time.

Condescendingly always saying you are too busy doing important things to write good documentation.

No they are not, some are made for obtuse assholes by obtuse assholes.

For the record was he? Or was he just making a joke that didn’t land.

That’s funny because it’s not difficult at all to build an app like this.

It is a fuckton of unpaid work, it never feels right to talk about donating their time and effort like that.
