Right. And the person it turned out to be was her, during a financially crippling pandemic that necessitated the service being repurposed in that manner in the first place, all for incredibly dubious reasons.

If she hadn’t exploited this loophole someone else would have, and these regulations would happen either way

Nowadays it just feels very... inauthentic? Contrived? “Corporate”? I’m not really sure how to put it, but in the past, even when the content crossed lines, it felt like there was a genuine voice behind it rather than provocation for its own sake. Nowadays it feels like they fed a bunch of morninggloria comments into… Read more

I’ve been to several outdoor barbecues this summer (all according to guidelines!) and the fact that social distancing means I can greet and say goodbye to everyone without having to hug and/or kiss them has done wonders for my general aversion to social outings. It’s really helped me to realize that level of… Read more

Nice, thanks for the heads up. It will be interesting to see how they pan out.

Seriously. A color e-ink tablet with a halfway decent refresh rate would be a godsend for reading and marking journal articles.

Never was a fan of hers, but I have to admit that watching hordes of men lose their fucking minds because she rapped about a basic reality of female sexual arousal is doing a lot to win me over.

Yeah I can’t really fault you guys for this narrative, because it really has played out like a season of The Bachelor. Not only has Biden been “ready to announce his veep pick” for several months now, but I can’t even remember a time when it wasn’t a given that it was going to be a woman.

I’d just be happy if they just remastered the Xbox/PS2 era hack’n’slash games.

Well I guess we both followed the common wisdom, because I also switched to Mullvad on the advice of other disappointed PIA customers and have nothing but praise for them as well. Overall it costs a little more, but given PIA’s debt problems that caused them to seek a buyer in the first place, I guess it’s true that… Read more

Well, if you’re feeling hurt, I have good news: if you enjoyed the Cellino and Barnes jingle between the years 2003-2007, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

I’m fairly certain that at one point it pretty explicitly states that the court is specifically *not* grappling with the question of what sex trans people “really” are - just that it’s necessarily impossible to discriminate against someone who’s gay or trans without taking their sex into account.

Color me shocked that Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, but... fuck it, I’ll take it!

Littman’s research was criticized in large part because her methodology was hugely flawed and riddled with her own bias.

That’s an interesting perspective, because I’ve been looking into Android tablets specifically because my old iPad is so sluggish and unresponsive that it can’t do much other than watch Youtube videos (and even there it struggles), while my old Galaxy S4 has been holding up like a champ as a dedicated music player… Read more

Yeah I could see eyestrain being an issue, although tbh I spend most of my time staring at a computer screen anyway. Read more
