This is obviously fake because Biden is not looking away from Trump with his mouth open drooling on himself looking slightly confused (although to be fair nothing Trump said made sense and what did make sense was false)

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

Our office uses windows, and egde feels like malware to me

DancingBear ,

I don’t really like chrome either to be honest

DancingBear ,

Don’t worry. It’s all on the way back machine 👀

DancingBear ,

Yea I know I was teasing

DancingBear ,

Yea, but are you a ….. sexy librarian with the glasses?

DancingBear ,

I leave now happy sunday

DancingBear ,

We are waiting on the response from the sexy librarian

DancingBear ,

You must have forgot about dre

DancingBear ,

This one’s easy just mark gay or bisexual

DancingBear ,

Because prohibition works so well.

You sound very authoritarian. Makes me wonder what you mean by “all the other bullshit as well”

You just want to ban everything you personally don’t like?

Bleu cheese? Pineapples on pizza?

DancingBear ,

When it comes to birth control for far too long women have been getting the short end of the….. oh, nevermind

DancingBear ,

I would disagree. We all need a living wage even for doing the most unskilled labor. Picking up dog poop or shoveling cow poop from one truck to another. There are jobs that require skills,

But everyone deserves a living wage absolutely.

The problem is capitalism, not the fact that our society has unskilled labor jobs

FCC Imposes Nearly $200 Million in Fines on US Wireless Carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon) for Illegal Location Data Sharing (neuters.de)

The carriers sold "real-time location information to data aggregators, allowing this highly sensitive data to wind up in the hands of bail-bond companies, bounty hunters, and other shady actors," FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement....

DancingBear ,

lol this is the first thought that crossed my mind

Even if he gets layed off or even fired, he will still receive a larger compensation package than either you or I will receive as compensation in the whole of our working lives, most likely both of ours together his compensation package will dwarf even ten times what we will make together our whole lives.

And this is if he does the shittiest job he can possibly do and gets fired.

Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband (arstechnica.com)

Trade groups claimed the state law is preempted by former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai's repeal of net neutrality rules. Pai's repeal placed ISPs under the more forgiving Title I regulatory framework instead of the common-carrier framework in Title II of the Communications Act....

DancingBear ,

Leopards ate my face but even though corporations are people they can not have their faces eaten in quite the same way

DancingBear ,

From the article isps fought against fcc regulations which subjected them to state regulations, hence leopards ate my face fyi

DancingBear ,

When did I claim to be useful?

DancingBear ,

Yep we shall see god dam if these asshats fought half as hard as they do against poor people for the general public good where would we be

DancingBear ,

You thinkk we would be as happy as some of these social democrat countries in Northern Europe these damn republicans seems to like

DancingBear ,

I thought this was about my sex life

DancingBear ,

Is that you, dear?

DancingBear ,

100% against everything being monitored and data sold like it is….. but part of me wishes there was a way to work towards getting bad drivers off of the roads.

This is not the way to do that as the insurance companies only have one goal and that is to raise profits.

But when you stand on any random street corner and 30-60 % of every driver driving by is looking down at their cell phone, it is very scary.

People don’t use turn signals, speed through residential neighborhoods, change lanes in the middle of intersections, it’s insane. We need to make our world less car reliant, it’s unacceptable.

DancingBear ,

I have seen some cool videos about this, although they are kind of boring I guess…. Using infrastructure to bring the speed limit down naturally and force drivers to keep their hands on the wheel

DancingBear ,

Probably best not to be so black and white. It’s probably not a healthy friendship if one of the people in the relationship just want to be friends and the other wants a sexual relationship.

DancingBear ,

We would have to define “wanting to have sex with them”. I would say 95% of young women are sexually attractive to 95% of straight men. If someone is sexually attractive does that mean “you want to have sex with them”.

David Sedaris did a great story about this I can’t remember the name of the episode. But as a sexual male whenever you see a woman one of the first things you think in your head is “would I have sex with her”. Not “will I” or even “will I pursue” but “would I”. Most of the time, the answer is yes.

Being in an actual relationship and learning and navigating friendships is difficult for all humans.

But to say men should stop wanting to have sex with women is ignorant, and not true to reality. If you don’t like it, I guess too bad? It’s not going to change.

This doesn’t mean we should work on being more empathetic in our relationships to try and understand where others are coming from. We can still be respectful of each others boundaries while wanting to have sex with each other.

But my original point is that it is not really a friend relationship if one person has unrequited feelings the other doesn’t share.

DancingBear ,

It can be difficult for young men who have never been in a relationship before who also may not have positive male role models etc.

As social beings it’s also important to note that being rejected socially brings out some deep psychological responses in our lower animal brains.

DancingBear ,

When men see other men who are successful with women, that’s exactly what it looks like. Confidence is attractive to people. When the attraction is mutual, expecting that you’re entitled to affection is exactly the appropriate response.

The conflict happens when one person misses the signs that the attraction is not mutual and keeps pursuing which comes across as creepy etc. and yes women

It’s not so black and white. If it were life would probably be pretty boring.

It’s probably rude to say it but when guys ask girls out, the primary reason is most likely they want to have sex. You can have other activities and traits you enjoy sharing together as well, and there is absolutely more to life than having sex.

Men and women have similar and different complex wants and needs. Life is hard yes. But if we’re going to be offended about male sexuality then I guess we’re going to have to keep pretending that men don’t think about sex as much as they do.

Generic advice often sounds to some guys like… ok I should try to be friends with her and pretend I don’t want to have sex. The guy wants sex and will follow any advice and process to reach that goal. To tell the guy to not want sex is useless advice, because he wants it.

I see your point about having values and not basing your validation and ego around what other people think of you, it’s very important for healthy self esteem. But there’s no simple answer and we all have to navigate our complex personal relationships on the fly as we go, and some lessons are difficult to learn. I don’t have the answers but it’s interesting discussion.

DancingBear , (edited )

You can put your head in the sand if you like, I prefer living in reality. Where semantics are much less difficult to understand than actual human interactions and relationships.

You’re trying to draw a red line in on invisible sand and saying don’t cross this line. No one but you knows where that line is but you will know it when they cross the line, and if they do they are a bad person. This doesn’t help us become better people but I guess it makes you feel superior because you’re in the right?

DancingBear ,

Interesting…. I think you’re right in that we are probably talking past one another.

We can and hopefully we all do engage in platonic relationships where sex is not an expectation… I hope so dear lord.

It does upset me though in these conversations where some one just says… hey, don’t be a dick, it’s easy…. As if that is useful or helpful advice… and then also the canned and simplified response of sex is never an entitlement or an expectation. It’s not always that black and white. Yes we all have autonomy, and yes all sexual relationships should be consensual.

Human sexuality is a bizzarre thing and a lot of the things that we tell guys to do is the exact opposite of what should be done depending on the exact circumstances. It’s difficult to navigate, because women are not an algorithm where the correct input can be given to achieve the expected results, any more than men are. We are all complex. So one guy can do and say things depending on circumstances that would and do come across as creepy if another guy sees it and tries the same thing.

And in this comic I think it does speak to a lot of women’s personal experience.

Understanding one sides point of view doesn’t have to belittle the other persons experience on the other side either.

I’m glad we didn’t start attacking each other, it’s really interesting to me like I said. Thanks for responding.

DancingBear ,

Dalto is right, we are talking past one another. You’re not looking at the context of what I was saying and you are just saying consent is consent. That’s all well and good but navigating that is not black and white. Human relationships are more complex than just saying consent is consent and no one is entitled. It’s just a talking point but in reality relationships are complex and nuanced. Autonomy and consent is really important and necessary in relationships especially sexual ones.

DancingBear ,

No! We will solve it here and Now!!! 😂. Communication is so important in any relationship but it is not always easy. Same to you

DancingBear ,

lol. They have actually created the same experience online as in person dmv.

10/10. Their IT department is genius

DancingBear ,

Be careful putting your balls in that thing! 👀

DancingBear ,

That poor guy in the front row

DancingBear ,

Oh no! Jobs will be lost and businesses that pay slave wages will have to close!

The same arguments made against increasing minimum wage were made to argue against the 40 hour work week and weekends off.

DancingBear ,

What do you mean… all restaurants are Taco Bell tm now

DancingBear ,

How do you think you were born?

DancingBear ,

You were born out of a vagina. You are inherently dirty and offensive.

DancingBear ,

He is pure and clean

DancingBear ,

Close, but it’s not a cigar either

DancingBear ,

Capitalism I can cheer for

DancingBear ,

No thanks, I was just asking for a friend. But do you have anything similar?

DancingBear ,

Ok, I think my friend might be interested

DancingBear ,

Not voting for Trump is a vote for Biden.

DancingBear ,

Trumps genocide will be ten times worse than Biden’s genocide…..

What the actual frek are you saying

DancingBear ,

If only your opinion mattered….

DancingBear ,

No problem, but I’m probably closer to naive… sorry once again
