Told'ja the depopulation paranoia was a race thing.

Oh, I'm sure it's a true statement as long as you have a low enough bar for what counts as "getting called" something. If you're a YouTuber with an audience of any significant size—like this guy is—you'll probably get called every nasty name in the book just for existing, and if it happens in...

On the subject of Wikipedia, they have no valid reason to want to sell to him, ever; for as much as they make it sound like they're perpetually strapped for cash, nothing could be further from the truth. It's estimated that they can afford to stay in operation for 20 more years even if donations...

And get replaced by people who won't, just like they did, inevitably leading to this same problem in another two years. Might as well rip the bandage off now instead.

To be fair, there have definitely been tech companies more recently than that that were founded by people with actual knowledge in the relevant fields. Steve Wozniak comes to mind, I'm pretty sure Bill Gates was an actual nerd, and a lot of the failure of the dot-com startups could be blamed on...

Neither have our mental health institutions.

Why bother? That implies that any of the jive he's done isn't 100% his own fault, which is a road I'd rather not go down.

Actually it can, because over a fifth of them voted for that bill in both houses. A fifth of Republicans not only supported what it represents, but were concerned that it needed to be protected in case the opinion of the Supreme Court were to flip in the future. The majority of those Republicans...

Isn't this the one that had a kid being choked to death and you had to pay real money to stop it?

And 100% of the people who voted for Jordan would probably just as gladly promote that guy to be Speaker.

Serious question, by the way: How did someone no one likes keep getting reelected, anyway? Is Israel's election system even more broken than ours? Is prime minister a lifetime position? (But I repeat myself.) What's the deal?

The last one to have good intentions, maybe, but Eisenhower has a lot to answer for and is frankly the best argument one can make for not letting former military people into the White House. He may have warned us of the rise of the military industrial complex, but when you look at how much...

Property taxes on that thing are probably gonna be a bitch, though.

Pretty sure letting members of congress vote anonymously would violate transparency laws.

Did they already discontinue the Mac version (because it's not compatible with the new ARM Macs), or do we have to wait for Microsoft to step in and make them?

Right, but I thought that was a scheme to make them fail their mandate to stay in the black. Was there never one in the first place? Were they just that good at keeping their expenses down?

We've already started seeing Blizzard games released on Steam, of all places. It's possible the timing of that has nothing to do with anything, but the part of me that tries to find meaning in things is curious, especially since Microsoft has also started doing that lately.

The hassle of going through a payment processor just to sign up for a website is going to be a lot more of a dealbreaker than the amount is. Granted, I don't know what kind of person doesn't already use Twitter and would have any reason to want to sign up for it in 2023 anyway. Aside from the...

Wait, I thought the postal service was obligated by law to break even. How could it be getting away with billions in losses?

I read "no longer has a presence in Australia" and briefly thought it meant they had blocked the entire site with their Great Firewall. But I think it just means their corporate offices. Also, again: Because both companies are guilty of this, but Elon Musk is just a douchebag with a website...
