Even if you want Windows, it’s still better to get that edition that works just the same but has most of the bloat cut off, that they made for small business computers.

And they say Microslop only does bad things lately. What do you call more people switching to Linux to avoid their enshitification, if not a good thing?

You gotta bide your time. Can’t build your forces when you are busy scraping for food. Make them think you are satisfied with the minimum, and prepare in the meantime. UBI doesn’t mean people don’t work; it means they can work for what they want to work for.

It all makes sense now.

Level 10: all forms are valid as long as enough people use them. The currently most used forms are octopuses and octopi, both valid, but octopi is malformed, so octopuses is preferred. Octopussses and octopii and rare variants of those. Also correct, but rarely used.
Octopodes is also correct, but considered pedantic.

Level 11: Just use what you are used to.

We should do a blanket class action lawsuit against all corporations throughout history, demanding all the wages they owe, refunds for the prices they gouged, and the artificially created inflation.

Or they could settle by paying for worldwide universal healthcare and UBI.

I’ve had to breathe enough cancer sticks waiting at a bus stop because I could not leave because of heavy rain, that I don’t care if it works or not to make people stop smoking, as long as it works enough to make people stop smoking in places where other people may be around.
I can drink a beer in a place full of people without bothering anyone, but no one can smoke without making those surrounding them breathe it.
As long as it reduces the chances of an obnoxious asshole spreading their toxic fumes to the grandma who has to sit at the bus stop and can’t move away because it’s raining, I’m fine with it.

Will there be a black market and other issues? Maybe. Not the best way to do it? Ok. Someone figure out a better way. In the meantime, ban it is.

Sometimes you have to go with the “this is why we can’t have nice things” method.

Nope. It’s a comic that happens to be a cautionary tale to billionaires, that they will absolutely ignore.

The US has turned into Russia 2.0.

Everyone needs to read Billionaire’s Island.

“People will die anyway, why give them healthcare? We are not into that business, just give us your money, you greedy little pigs”.

If you claim to be a Christian but deny the doctrine of Papal Infallibility, you are not Catholic; you are what they call schismatic.

We’ll probably never know the truth, so I’m going to guess whatever I want because I am not a reporter, so I can editorialize as much as I want.

Chances are, he was being manipulated into doing it by someone who had watched one too many soap operas and thinks it’s possible to get away with this kind of stuff.
The kid failed or chickened out; they had a backup plan to complete the job anyway, and he still worked as a fall guy.

Looks like someone has figured out how to manipulate their easily manipulable minds into thinking what has a non-negligible chance to be true.

“You can’t click on this link because it is on printed paper, you will need to type it into your browser”.

That got me chuckling, because I have actually tried to do that multiple times, but only succeeded twice.

Not boars, tho.
Wolves prefer not to fuck with adult boars.
Even when European lions were still around, they’d rather go for something else over a boar. Even bear cubs or baby mammoths, with all the risks involved.
Without some metal animal like Komodo dragons, it falls to humans to keep them in check.

No need for names. You leave your number at the front desk, and if you are lucky, you’ll get a call back.

Calling these people “weird” does a disservice to all good and honest weird people all over the world.

I like the progress as a science communicator that goes from unnecessarily grandiloquent and verbose to clear and concise.

Have you wondered why it is that products often have very obvious warnings?
Not everyone out there is doing stupid things to try and get paid in a lawsuit, some are just that dumb.
Remember that fad with people wondering why mirrors ‘knew’ what was behind papers?
Some were just memeing, others were that scientifically illiterate.
