No. A physical menu is only a menu. All that it can do is show me what the restaurant offers. On the other hand, a phone is a device that is full of software designed to distract and consume attention. A group of people sitting at a table

What always bugs me about the QR code menu links is that they never seem to link directly to the menu. It's always to the restaurant's home page, or some other page that isn't the menu, and then I have to navigate to the menu

This is exactly what happened to me as well. I did keto for ~8 months, lost a bunch of weight, and learned that 99% of what's in an american grocery store has a ton of added sugar. Even milk!

I guess I can see that. But I think that if you're going to claim that "sex work is real work," I hate to break it to you, but real work comes with a bunch of paperwork (sometimes even background checks) and taxes.

Why are you being so disingenuous? I have not argued that porn is immoral or should be banned or whatever anywhere. I don't like that pornhub operated for so long without requiring any sort of verification, and I think they should be h

No, I use the term "child porn" specifically because they are not synonymous. There is a difference between porn and child porn, and as a society we have decided that the latter is illegal and generally a horrific thing, and the p

So we have to choose between platforms implicitly allowing child pornography, or possibly storing data that could be leaked. I choose the latter.

You claim that you don't like the people currently going after pornhub, but do you ever wonder why the people you do like don't go after them? I've always found it very odd that the left never goes after anyone in the porn

And your response is a disingenuous one, because I never said that. What I am saying is that gay men are at a much, much, much higher risk of getting/spreading it due to their lifestyle choices, and it seems stupid to always have to av

Okay, if we change it to "see, cities controlled by politicians who claim to be progressive are bad!", is that more correct? Because either way, the fault seems to lie with progressive politicians, whether they are "real prog

What about something like the penn state football scandal? Wasn't that a conspiracy, given that the leaders of an organization knew about the abuse, and let it slide? I also just have to say that if you really think Epstein killed hims

I think what makes the progressive blend of discrimination so much worse is that they do what they do in the name of not being discriminatory. It's just so disgusting to me to call yourself "antiracist" and then quite liter

Exactly. I think a lot of people ignore the realities of progressive policies, because to them, progressive policy means fighting systemic racism/sexism/etc. It doesn't have to work - all that matters is the intention. And yo

It's so funny how we people will say that it's not that bad, and then their reasoning is that: - there is homelessness, but also something expensive that I enjoy - there is crime, but also something expensive that I enjoy - ther

I've only been to a handful of their stores, but every single one just feels way too small. It also feels like the majority of the people there are employees restocking shelves and just generally being in the way. They are friendly and

It also just looks suspect. Mastadon is a competitor to twitter, right? It's obviously good for twitter that no one can post links to the mastadon sign up page, right? Do I still have to assume it's just a bug? I sure wish the b
