There was a MOVIE?!?

Based on the In Living Color character?

Chips.

What is this, a bot post with an imperfect scraper behind it?

What in the actual fuck are you on about?

They genuinely believe some random guy is god incarnate so they tormented him his entire life to try and get him to kill himself,

Nothing in wicca allows any of that, so far as I’m aware.

That’s SO far off base with what I understand of the basic tenets of wicca that it’d be like an humanist atheist vegan suddenly signing on to work as a halal butcher and then deciding animals aren’t enough, it’s time to butcher people instead.

Pronounced like “hope” without the “h”, it is indeed a local (Midwestern U.S.) "expression.

It is, mostly, a “shorthand apology”.

“Ope, just gonna squeeze right past you and grab the ranch” (dressing) or “Ope, grab the butter while you’re up whydoncha?”, or “Ope, I spose it’s about that time.”

In the context of that sticker, it’s more like a “sorry, not sorry” but less intense and more polite.

It is, to a degree.

She’s no billy strings.

I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.

Actually, I’m still not sure.

The BEHAVIOR of a very small subset of vegans unfortunately causes a small but ridiculously vocal subset of non-vegans to tar all vegans with the same brush.

Since volume equals truth for a not insignificant number of people in the Internet, far too many people don’t stop to separate behavior choices from professed beliefs and that’s how we get where we are now, I unfortunately.

The world would be a better place if people stopped automatically associating and assuming causation and instead treated bad behavior as just that.

I wonder how much of the state of the place upon that inspection was DUE to:

The plant has been shut down since late July

Like, did they say “we’re shutting down” and everyone just fucked off and left the place in a state?

Or was it just that bad ALL the time?

Why do you think a different word is needed?

Because the word has been largely washed of all negative connotations, at least across the minds of the majority of the populace in the U.S.

If you are trying to convey what the word settler means in a dictionary by using it in casual conversation, you are likely to find that it is not carrying the full weight of its intended meaning in the mind(s) of the listener(s).

This makes it a FUNCTIONALLY inadequate word despite being a technically correct one.

Yeah, I actually MISS intros on shows that don’t have them. I forget when in the 2000’s or 2010’s they started that, but it aggravated me almost as much as the cutback from 20+ episodes a season to fewer.

I ALWAYS skip enterprise, I never skip the others.

I get that they were trying for something different, I can even appreciate using a folksy ballad that doesn’t have all is the “formality” of classical music the same way Starfleet of the time doesn’t have all the formality of later treks. I even personally find it to be a cool idea on paper, but for some reason it just didn’t land with me.

It’s jarring when it SHOULDN’T be. Even the closing credits get a "WhoOoAawhatthefuuuuOh."reaction out of me every time the music starts. Like, it takes until almost the fourth note on the credits before I go "oh yeah, they do this.

I still watch the credits, though.

The kicker there is … Nobody I know is going to think “wow, playback on this video sucks, I should disable my ad blocker”.

Like, it wouldn’t occur to ANYONE I know that a piece of software we consider necessary could be the problem, ESPECIALLY if everything else is working fine.

That’s not even number ten on the list of troubleshooting steps and most people don’t make it past one or two before giving up.

WTF were they thinking?

Addressing the Overton window issue is the main fix I would hope for.

This is far and away the most frequently mentioned issue in posts I’ve seen. It’s also the one I would like to see addressed.

I don’t know enough to know how accurate this chart actually is, but I’ve seen it tossed around plenty:

I can’t tell if he’s being sarcastic or not.

In the sense of “Simpsons did it!”:

Equifax did it first.

Sure wish the massive corporate incompetence and malfeasance causing huge data leaks multiple times over the years would get mentioned every time one of these stories comes up.

Hackers did blah, this WOULD ALMOST matter, but!

We need to start redirecting some of those board bonuses and CEO dollars back into infrastructure to actually secure this shit as a required responsibility and stop places from being allowed to request personal information they shouldn’t have.

Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior. The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company

This is definitely a play they’re considering.

The only defense against it that I’m aware of is to get the popular vote SO FAR in favor of Harris/Walz that Congress won’t be willing to risk their vote being so blatantly opposite and misrepresentative of the will of the people, lest it lead to reform they don’t want.

Vertical tabs I could maybe buy someone wanting but MORE AI? Not based on what I’m reading, even in surveys.

If they want to make Firefox more popular, make it so I can close 54 of my 55 open tabs in task manager with “end task” without the whole app crashing (read:fix memory). Add in greater stack trace visibility into what parts of what add-ons are increasing load time at first launch (you can currently kinda see which add-ons, but it’s barely even bare bones info) (read: fix speed issues. Basic stuff like ad block and no script shouldn’t sesquiseptuple load times (that’s two orders of magnitude)

Do stuff the other browsers WON’T do, because their paradigm forbids proper optimization.
