Given that I despise JB, I must have been born in the afterlife, then.

richieadler ,

He represents much of what is wrong, crass and inane in US humor. Sandler, Stiller and him are concentrated vomit.

richieadler ,

You don't sound cool or discerning with your tastes after that explanation, you just sound pretentious.

If you like humor based on vulgarity or scatology you are vulgar and not very discerning either. I know that for USians wanting to rise above vulgarity is wrong.

richieadler ,

USian, I suppose?

You will forgive me if I don't find your "joke" funny, specially when right-wing SOBs indoctrinated in your country periodically take turns to destroy my country with conservative or (now) anarcho-capitalist actions and get all the money outside to offshore accounts while "selling" all public companies to their friends.

richieadler ,

It's your present, mate. Your economy owes a lot to the countries you destroy and pillage already.

richieadler ,

will only be pleased by the entire USA being skinned alive.

Nah, a painless and quick death can do also.

richieadler ,

In my experience “USians” is usually used by butthurt Spanish speakers who think that because America means one thing in Spanish it has to mean the same thing in every other language.

Well, there's more countries speakers of Spanish, so we have a point, I think.

It's funny you talk about language nonsense, when so many of the US citizens believe that their dialect is the original English and the UK is a deformed version of it...

ese chiste viene del sub Dankgentina

Si vas a buscar chistes al cotolengo, por supuesto vas a parecer pelotudo.

richieadler ,

It's coming back thanks to those vaccine mandates that were brought in.

Nah, it's because the US is full of whiny babies who don't want to recognize other people's authority and expertise over their whims, and rather have disease and mass murders than let other people say to them there is a better course of action.

richieadler ,

No, but the attitude where the opinion of ignoramuses should be sacrosanct and considered over the opinion of experts and authorities is mainly USian.

Hell, USians invented the idiotic notion of "sovereign citizen", which is predicated in the insane importance they assign to their own opinions and the notion that their beliefs override reality.

richieadler ,

That requires thinking, an activity most people are unwilling to engage in.

richieadler ,

In my country it's a big deal because voting is mandatory and you get a fine if you don't vote.

richieadler ,

Yet why should people rely on Instagram to know to vote?

Nobody said they should. But people are idiots and make conclusions from what they read in there anyway, so they should be liable if they spread misinformation or if they, like Facebook, contributed to a coup in Myanmar or had a role in the attempt of taking the US Capitol.

Instagram is a social media that has nothing to do with real world or politics of a country.

You really need to live inside a jar to believe that nonsense.

Remember Cambridge Analytica? One of the selling arguments to the Trump campaign was that they helped the triumph in my country of a right-wing party by using Facebook. So "nothing to do with real world or politics"? Fuck that noise.

richieadler ,

If that means less women are dead? Yay indeed.

richieadler ,

Yeah, disregard advice destined to protect an endangered group when you belong to that group. That's going to go reallllllly well.

richieadler ,

Funny how this is almost never what actually happens.

richieadler ,

I was denying the point that all fears women have are false or baseless.

richieadler ,

Too many idiots breed already. Some less won't do any damage.

richieadler ,

That requires a societal change, and certain societies are worst suited than others.

I don't think a society that objects to demonstrations of affection in general or values guns over lives is well equipped, for instance.

richieadler ,

School shooters wouldn't exist in a less sick society without a fetish towards guns.

richieadler ,

Yeah, having a sane society would also help. The US already lost the battle there.

richieadler ,

His followers don't care.

richieadler ,

That's a nice, if sad, thought

richieadler ,

Literally freedumb.

richieadler ,

I asked for Malki's authorization to put a translated version in my Spanish-language website and he was very quick to allow it. He seems to be a nice guy.

richieadler ,

Yeah, because surely the drug is the same...

    Another case of religion poisoning everything.

    richieadler ,

    Sex being the method of reproduction, if we didn't enjoy it as a species, we wouldn't be here today.

    There are species with painful sex mechanisms, so that bit at least is dubious.

    richieadler ,

    Of course not, complaining about porn by default is the righteous thing to do.

    richieadler ,

    I was about to object, because objectively the vanilla Fluxx is considerably easier than MTG, but I must recognize that other thematic variants of Fluxx easily become this. It varies, but things can get complicated with special abilities in the Keepers, elaborate Rules, considerations about Creepers, weird Surprises, and very carefully worded Ungoals.

    A recent article by Charles Stross says exactly this and explores the dangers it presents.

    The floppy disk refused to die in Japan - laws that forced the continued use of floppies have finally hit the chopping block (www.tomshardware.com)

    The floppy disk refused to die in Japan - laws that forced the continued use of floppies have finally hit the chopping block::Floppy disks can finally make their way to the land of eternal slumber. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has abolished any requirement for applicants to use this ancient magnetic media...

    richieadler ,

    I still have my semi transparent light blue Zip drive.

    richieadler ,

    And then they don't know what to do with the product for decades. E. g.: Notes.

    richieadler ,

    Notes was OK, besides the shitty UI.

    richieadler ,

    get involved for real, in the three-dimensional world, and trying to change all these awful things we’re all posting stories about all day

    Well, more power to those who do, but in many places doing that gets you killed.

    richieadler ,

    Flip phones.

    richieadler ,

    Ah yes, stargates, the rotary phones of interstellar communications.

    Only on Earth. Everybody else uses touch tones.

    richieadler ,

    Uphold the values of the constitution of the USA, but in the digital space.

    And fuck the rest of the world?

    And otherwise fuck off, govt

    Anarchist nonsense. Zero government = total chaos. The strong eats the weak. Like now, but worse.

    richieadler ,

    There's a period. It reads "in all other matters, government fuck off".

    Which is consistent with the poster declaring their anarchism.
