Not my president
Sorry but he is totally your president. You can’t be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.
You as a nation voted for Trump. He’s your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.
I don’t keep up with everything he does
You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it’s time to flee because it’s too dangerous to stay in the US.
I’m very Jesus-like
You mean you’re cross?
Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you’re sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.
I don’t mind offensive or off-color jokes.
But here’s the thing: the more offensive and off-color, the better the joke had better be to be worth the offense.
This is not a good joke. You’re just being offensive.
I fail to see Discord as anything other than IRC with too many emojis and primary colors for the short of attention span, implemented as a humongous pile of Web 2.0 nonsense, with Big Data surveillance built in.
Privacy and resource comsumption issues notwithstanding, the few times I’ve had to use it to connect with people in certain communities that could basically only be found on Discord, it was unbearable to this gen-Xer: it’s just as fast and as shallow as IRC, but somehow I feel the extra symbolic and color overload would have triggered a seizure if I was epileptic. It’s maddering.
Oh well, maybe I’m old.
When you use the Discord app, you use a browser - Chromium specifically: Discord is an electro app.
In other word, if you already run a browser that burns hundreds of megabytes of RAM, disk, and requires tons of CPU do display simplistic things, as browsers do, you might as well use it to access Discord instead of running a second insanely wasteful browser disguised as a native app.
My experience with Discord, period:
That doesn’t make you divine.
I was onboard until I saw the “divine being” and “holy tongue” bits. I’m a technophobe, not a religious nutter.
Also, as cars designed by immature adults go, it might just look better than the real thing.
Google does not automatically mean bad
Yes it does.
Google does everything with an angle, and that angle is putting you under surveillance and collecting monetizable data on you.
Google has (or had, maybe?) fantastic products. They’re truly great! The translator, the map, Youtube… But they’re great for exactly the purpose of luring you into using them, so they can abuse your privacy with them.
Google products are trojan horses: they’re irresistible but their true purpose is nefarious.
He who cares about privacy even a little bit and uses Google DNS servers doesn’t really care about privacy.
It’s all a matter of perspective. I’m an optimist myself so it goes:
Spank her when she does something stupid. If she wants to live old school, she’s gotta go all the way.
MAGA Attracts Gullible Asswipes
Yes, it’s a recursive acronym.
I’ll tell you what makes me feel old:
When I was a kid in the 70s, everybody was talking about the year 2000, and I kept thinking “That like in 25 years, it’s like a quarter century. It’s like in forever!”
2000 was 25 years ago, and it feels like half a century went by in the blink of an eye.
Of course it is, no question. But when there’s no other choice…
Most people who say “Not my president” are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.
