Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Obviously you can't have a bunch of empty shampoo bottles around, so you'd throw out the $400 bottle of shampoo when it was empty after a week. (I know that seems awfully expensive, but don't worry -- we've gotten $15/hr minimum wage in the future!)

Do want.

I feel like in the idiocracy universe, three in one shampoo conditioner body wash would have just expanded to become the worst version of everything and the thing that everyone uses for everything.

"Shampoo. Conditioner. Body wash. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Toothpaste. Mouthwash. Toothbrush. Knife. Fork. Spoon. Antifreeze for your car. Gunpowder. Lubricant. Fire starter. Screwdriver set. Adjustable Wrench. Sex toy. Gps. MRI machine..."

I'm not sure there's a big market, but some worms want to hide their shame.

It sounds boring and effective, which is exactly the sort of thing that won't get done because it won't make anyone rich and won't get anyone clout for doing something exciting but ineffective.

Everyone should've chosen an alternative browser and an alternative search engine long ago.

It's time for the era of big tech to end.

The game's over 9000 years old. Of course it isn't being updated much anymore.

Depends. Does Jamal work for the government?

"It wasn't compulsory, it's just if you don't then we're going to make your life impossible to live."

I'd ask how they can sleep at night, but it's on a mattress filled with money from drug companies.

I, for one, am proud that we've proven we can be "just as productive" working from home!

It'll be fiiiiiiine! When is Microsoft getting its mitts into something ever proved a problem? Microsoft is famous for being nice guys who are just bros to everyone!

Everyone is working to destroy the Internet. Its Impressive.

Yes I am. I started the research for my next book a little while ago, and that's what I found. I was surprised that despite living on top of DOS 7, win 9x was a fully fledged OS and not just a shell on top of ms-dos.

Although MS-DOS remains resident, my understanding at least is that Windows 9x is still an operating system and not just a shell because doesn't use the dos calls for what it does. For example, it implements 32-bit disc algorithms, unique video algorithms, it manages the keyboard on its own, it basically does everything and it just happens to do it on top of MS-DOS as a bootloader.

I believe there was an equivalent under linux called loadlin that would let you bootstrap Linux from dos, and it even let you use some ms-dos drivers to provide functions for unsupported devices like cd-roms, just as windows can gain functions from media device drivers despite ideally running pure windows drivers instead.

Maybe this is why they think you need men to write men and women to write women and blacks to write blacks and Latinos to write Latinos. The concept that you'd ever consider a story that isn't literally just your self insert is foreign...

Putting that down in words explains too damn much! Like why there's an entire franchises with only one character archetype shared between literally every character.

Pretty funny to think the event is cancelled because they ran out of water because it rained in the desert.

Fokking wot?!?!?!?

At what point has the obvious truth ever stopped the media from saying a thing?

Fight for your lives anywhere other than dating sites.

I don't care how old you are, dating sites are bad for you unless you're in the top 0.1%, and the data proves it.

Mushoku Tensei is in the crosshairs of many because a lot of people attack the main character for being total garbage.

I don't know how you have a story about a terrible person becoming better without having a terrible person at the beginning...

I read the LN, and in like the first chapter the MC says something like "What's wrong with skipping your parents funeral to fap to poli lorn?" and at that point it's like "ok, this guy isn't a good guy", and the story is in part a redemption arc, this terrible ugly bastard of a hentai protaganist learning to stop being a terrible person.

The sort of people who are attacking this are responsible for every TV show in the west looking like a Christian film. The good people are insanely good at all times, the evil people are always insanely evil at all times, and there's no character movement, just preaching at the audience. And it's totally insufferable.

What's really neat about the series is that characters change and grow for real. Many of the people who appear to be one thing over time and experiences become much different people. You can't really predict who the characters become over time since their stories are stories and not archetypes.
