I completely disagree with the parent post's politics but he's right-- abortion providers are frequently compared to Hitler and regularly come out with higher numbers too. If these are your true beliefs, you are a coward for not t

People still don't realize the entire internet is one giant SEO/marketing septic tank. You'd think the fake cable reviews would be easy to detect at least. I've gotten a few higher budget items when I was poorer by doing

Respectfully, I am suggesting that OP has an intellectual disability to think deriving notions about the 'American' national character from Patton is some tocquevillian insight and he may find it profitable to watch Downfall to tr

Noted non-commercial entities like AT&T, HP and IBM were among the first owners (renters) of 2nd level domains on .com (for commercial) in the mid-80s though. These rules have always been murky and mostly used to beat down those of us w

It's frankly sickening that some people heap scorn upon the Britain of their ancestors, especially considering they're the only ones that actually you know, abolished slavery and had the seeds of thought in its WEIRD Protestantism

Personally I think calling it a shotgun wedding is one of my best metaphors of the week and perfectly evokes what I was going for. Contemporaries from like Lincoln's 2nd inaugural of course would call it finer things, like a national b

Albion's rotten seed was never unified as one. Seeing the civil war as some unique historical genesis of the split-- instead of a national shotgun-wedding of sorts is completely backwards.

Eh, I was a little too young to be there at the time but your experience sounds infinitely cooler than a NFT tattoo which just might be the lamest thing I've heard in my life and I feel worse about the world for learning about.

It's disgusting what google has done to the internet the past five years. I built my own genre-based wiki from scratch for kpop at kpopping.com (not a mediawiki) and my niche has been completely destroyed by google. They've promot

I've built a standalone genre-based wiki at kpopping.com, I can't believe fans let these bullshit companies run our communities. They're some of the most disgusting sociopaths imaginable. My niche is even worse though because

There are plenty of historical exceptions if you're going to nitpick, quakerism didn't adopt its antislavery stance at its inception.

I run a competitor to fandom (in kpop) and fandom isn't even the worst offender by a mile. Google has made my niche dominated by porn ads and underaged nude leakers for the past decade. Even gaming is completely fextralife enshittifica

That too, but I was referring to the sites in the search themselves. They are not independents but in the pay of someone else if they're not generating revenue. As someone with a commercial digital garden with ads (and a $3/mo sub

Who cares that the whole is getting dumber? I thought that was the entire idea behind the internet? I didn't create it either and my IQ isn't in the 150s-- it got dumber when it let me on, too. The problem with the internet today

As an American there is nothing I would love to see more than Google broken up into a thousand pieces and their stock reduced to negative amounts to atone for all the damage wrought upon the web in the past two decades.

What you see as defeatist I see as recognizing reality. I consider myself nontech and I run a few webapps-- if you don't see it as a useful distinction let me connect to your live database, I dare you :)

Throwing up a page on geocities and editing the HTML was not only easy but it was fun, and you could immediately get into a dopamine-feedback loop that sees you actually improving your basic web development skills. The game-designers paradi
