Sure, if they’re trying to appeal to liberals. But if they actually tried to appeal to the working class, they could win even “deep red” districts.

Virtual meetings give the person running the software way more power to censor participants than in-person meetings do. That’s the real reason they want this.

I noticed while riding home today that my neighbor up the street has built a guillotine. I think it’s meant to be a Halloween decoration, but you never know…

I was thinking the bench seat would just flip up or something like that, but your idea is better. Clearly, I’m not thinking modern enough, LOL!

like the obsession with them all having a cola in their hands

Probably couldn’t get them to look right in another pose. Lots of artists struggle with drawing hands.

Note how the hands that aren’t holding soda cans are partially or completely hidden.

Practically speaking that’s true, but we shouldn’t just accept those chilling affects as being somehow okay.

Exchange it until you get one that isn’t destroyed by improper packaging.

Let’s be honest: that was just an idle exclamation of frustration, not a true threat.

I think it’s a failure of imagination that the people running things believe public transport should turn a profit.

It’s not a failure of imagination, it’s deliberate sabotage. They don’t want transit to work because they’re classist and transit is egalitarian.

Plus, I don’t see how we could effectively get rid of cars without making everyone move to the cities.

80% already did, and the other 20% can be ignored.

I think the most important thing to remember is that even if 100% of rural folks drive, that’s still only 20% of the total population. The notion that transit doesn’t work for them does not excuse failing to provide it for the other 80% that it would work for.

Saying “but whatabout my special-snowflake rural lifestyle” to attack transit in general is always dishonest concern trolling.

For those wondering what could possibly be serious enough to justify that, unfortunately, they don’t say:

Details about the circumstances that led to their medical evacuation have not been disclosed.

How do you buy kitchen knives without becoming a felon?

Sometime before 2007:

Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks

Facebook was NEVER not evil, regardless of your rose-tinted glasses.

But a driver’s license has a photo on it, and (I assume) they check to see if it resembles the person standing there presenting it.

“Most common” (i.e. statistical mode) is often such a misleading thing to pay attention to because it’s so sensitive to how the person doing the study chooses to group things. For example, also on the Steam Hardware Survey, it looks like Arch is more popular than Ubuntu, but that’s because Arch (being a rolling release) is only one entry, while Ubuntu is separated out into versions.

Similarly, “16GB is most common” is easily confused with “most people have 16GB,” which is very much not true. It’s just that the majority, which is less than 16GB, is divided between people with 4, 8, 12, etc.

Pretty sure that’s an X (and I guess now Wayland) thing, not a KDE thing. I could be wrong, but I think you could sit down at a VAX from the '80s and expect it to work.

“Sublemmy” is just such an awkward word, tho.
