This is such a weird comment. Did you read the part that you didn’t quote? If I didn’t read the article, where would I have gotten “Our Lady of Penha” from?

I don’t speak Portuguese. “Our Lady of Penha” sounds…well…I’m making assumptions, let’s just say that. (Ladies are ladies, regardless of Penha.)

I’m just saying that bath water is not discharged from the body. Biowaste might be a better word. Sorry, I know this is not an important point.

I hope you enjoy your autograph collection. :)

Correlation is not causation, friend. Okay, I admit I had to jump at the chance to use that in the opposite direction as normal.

In any group of furries, tech workers are incredibly overrepresented. Furries are a tiny amount of tech workers, to be sure.

I’ve never heard anyone describe dead skin cells as excrement. I try not to be a prescriptivist, but I’m not sure grey water is a legitimate usage.

I don’t understand it either, but using a word that most often means “fecal matter” tends to make things less attractive.

I feel bad for people who grew up with cameras on them every second of their existence. Most of the shit I did in my 20s would ruin someone’s life now. I love Gen Z. They’re more “square” but, gestures at everything.

AI -> Actually Indians

Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

That’s the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don’t remember anymore.

The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn’t give access to the file system.

Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.

I wish.

The Gadsden flag is based on the earlier Join or Die political cartoon. It is a symbol of the American Revolution, and it is generally understood to mean an opposition to state coercion.

Which makes it a direct contradiction to the “Blue Lives Matter” flag. The popularity of the combination of these two directly contradicting statements shows that conservatives are idiots who don’t stand for anything. I call it the “Tread on them” combo.

Jamie Loftus crying and screaming right now.

In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.

I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?

It’s pretty accurate to say the wealthy like fascism if you look at how the wealthy keep trying to implement fascism. The Business Plot was an attempted fascist takeover of the United States, and the Trump regime was a successful fascist takeover of the United States. Both were bankrolled by the wealthy.

I’m not interested in defining the word fascist. The word has a definition and if some people use it incorrectly, that is not my concern.

I think when you talk about the “economy” you’re not taking into account income inequality. Economic crashes are great for the capitalist class. They get to buy everything at fire sale prices, and pay their workers pennies. Even if they have slightly less “wealth” than they might, they have enormously more power (which locks in more wealth during the “recovery”).

We have never ever ever dealt with white supremacy.

We have made some cursory nods towards helping minorities survive in a white supremacist state, but there has not even been a concerted effort to try to end white supremacy.

This is a technology forum. If the article is relevant here at all, it’s because of Microsoft. A better argument could probably be made that the article shouldn’t be here.

Sounds like you have decent privacy settings. Imagine sharing location data with ChatGPT.

Can you define “compressors” here? (Google was unhelpful.)
