Ha I still can’t see it! Maybe it’s cus I’m on a phone…but to me, the grain looks bang on, even with the curvature

It doesn’t? Looks fine to me

No

I agree with the first bit.

Having just moved off ml myself, getting tired of being called something I wasn’t, I find your second sentence disappointing and unsurprising in equal measure.

Do better. Be better.

You’re either fucking stupid, or just stupid enough to think your argument is reasonable.

That’s like saying retail was the problem because one of the dudes in the mob was a shop keeper. Look beyond the job.

My grayjay hasn’t worked for a couple of weeks now, “block attempt detected” warning and then the video starts over.

Asking mastodon users whether they’d choose AI over Privacy is like asking Elon Musk if he’d rather end poverty or buy another mega yacht.

You’re right, but “incompetence” seems harsh. Maybe I’m just sensitive today.

// because I said so.

Ah gotcha, I’ll look into it as wasn’t aware of this!

Days.

I get beaten twice a week.

Although my beaters call it jiu jitsu.

Haven’t been in an ikea for years. What’s the difference between a plant based ball, and a veggie ball?

And land mines are only banned because, checks notes, their indiscriminate nature (being walked on by children)

What on earth makes you think anyone here has any details on people making “six figures”?

That is a paltry sum that the mob give zero shits about.

To some, it seems like an incredible amount of money. To others it is several orders of magnitude too low to even consider.

Don’t worry about the people making 6 figures. Worry about the people making 9.

Saudi nationals don’t pay tax. The oil sustains their economy.

Think about that for a second. Your entire population doesn’t need to pay tax because you make so much money from oil. Imagine the lengths they would go to in order to protect that. And the atrocities their people would overlook.

Legit didn’t think of it like that and I like to think of myself as an above-average-intellectual-left-wing-european.

Thank you for the spark.

That’s ludicrous. “An average person” cares about more than “nothing” - such statements saying otherwise are just what the 0.1% want.

Stop fighting each other and start fighting the people who have created and persisted this dumpster fire.

What’s a normie in this context?
