I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

Edit:

Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

Good luck with that I guess.

There is no viable third party without voting reform.

If you really want smaller parties to have any chance, go help the people within the democratic party who are trying to make that happen.

Voting doesn’t change anything. Not voting kills us.

We vote to buy time. We use that time to perform direct action.

These 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

This is what I’ve been trying to tell people, especially young lefties.

It just does not make sense to me why you would look at a broken system which gives a massive advantage to one party, see that the people trying to fix the system all belong to the other party, and arrive at the conclusion that both parties are equally at fault and the only solution is to throw your hands up in invisible protest.

It would be one thing if they just said they didn’t care, but they seem to be convinced they are actually able to affect change this way.

It’s like finding yourself in a fist fight and seeing your buddy just standing there laughing.

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

Google is worse than useless to me now.

AJJ - People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People

I knew them by their original name (Andrew Jackson Jihad) and was basically given this album as a demo from someone who knew the band.

There is something so raw and real about this album that just did not make it to anything that came later. It was like they gave up the edge that set them apart when they rebranded to make themselves more marketable.

I get it, the original name was bad. Like actually pretty bad. But I also genuinely feel like the name wasn’t the only thing they changed.

Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

99 percent of ADHD memes are just describing normal human condition.

And when a normal human condition becomes a significant problem, we call it a disorder.

Hey yeah it’s funny you ALSO forget shampoo sometimes. Yep, that is normal. Sounds like it’s not a problem for you then. Cool.

Made me check hope, even though I knew it was a shitpost.

NO.

If anyone has a term for this specific phobia, please let me know

Yeah this is me taking Phantom Menace story lines over the One And Only Star Wars movie:

Aight with you so far

Duuuhhhh d’duerrrr doiiiiiiiyyyyy bbbbrrthhhhbtb

Not a fucking clue how this is supposed to sound

True! And those people vote.

For me it depends entirely on 1) which hobby and 2) how the mainstream audience shapes it; if investors believe they can make more money by promoting certain aspects of the hobby, they can change it’s entire landscape. And that’s not even getting into what can happen when IP law gets involved.

It’s a shitty tradeoff to have to make, because sometimes I just want to everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. I’ve also seen hobbies die from too much exposure.

We’re still a lot better over distance, iirc, which is why we are able to ride them

That’s why he’s so god damn cool

Yes but LSD can be absorbed through the skin, so you wouldn’t have to go through all the trouble of convincing someone to eat poison

I interpreted it as a sarcastic exaggeration, like all animals are “divine” compared to machines

• owner: wtf gov
• gov: try another gov

Nice try, FBI!

I think it’s the fact that those groups are the gender groups that is causing the frustration. If it’s arbitrary, why did it have to be the same system we use to classify organisms and personal identities?
