Nothing screams “I belong to a more intelligent race” like using your own picture on the barely-pseudonymous Twitter account you use to post white nationalist nonsense.

Fellow Californian here. I’d be more than happy to secede - and take our tax base with us.

Yeah, fuck you too.

If the entertainment system in my truck didn’t work I’d be raging mad. Will the truck still dirve? Yeah. But, it’s not even 2 years old and I paid in excess of $50k for it, so it damn well better have all the doodads.

I don’t know what it is about this new space race that has captivated me so much, but I wept during the launch yesterday. I didn’t become fascinated with space until after college, so I missed that boat for getting involved professionally. But I’m so glad there are people like Elon Musk willing to make the investments

“Please focus on me as I read War and Peace aloud and pay no mind to Father #3 who is totally not sneaking up behind Larry Nassar right now.”

Counterpoint.

OMFG can you people maybe read one article about faceID or a general overview before asking this question for the billionth time?

Wait... What? The company can charge $100 an hour, take a cut of $25 an hour — 25% of the wage — still pay their taxes and make bank.

Yeah, $33-$35 an hour at median seems fair, and I’m all for paying the people who are heading away from their families and into VERY dangerous territory to restore power to an utterly demolished area as much as $100 hourly, which would basically be the overtime rate + hazard pay.

GTFO with your hot Pluto takes. This isn’t Pitchfork.

Going beyond just the xkcd comic’s great rebuttal to the people who hide behind “free speech” whenever they’re criticized, there’s also the fact that the owners of Discord, Google, GoDaddy, and other tech companies also have the right to free speech. Specifically, they have the right under the First Amendment to

Anyone want to crowd fund a plane to bombard certain cities with leaflets of the xkcd comic?
