Why do people think they need these big centralized authoritarian "communities" on the internet? In the late 90's and early 2000's we ran PHP forums from our parents houses.

Humans have done more for conservation and "repopulating" than you could ever imagine. Soil, sea-life, species...List goes on and on.

LOL. I'll see if I can add to this Maoist word salad... We shouldn't just want to "step in the right direction" we should make a great leap forward. We should have a cultural revolution and bombard the headquarters and c

My truck has a supercharger and a performance chip. It is a "city dwelling" truck...And I haul thousands of pounds of shit in the city just like I would anywhere else (hence why I have a truck). There's no rule saying trucks

There's nothing more utilitarian than an extended-cab truck if you're a "divorced dad". You're hauling kids, furniture, trash, tools, etc. And if you need to move cross country guess what...You can tow a trailer. An

Twitter files show that there's a MASSIVE disinformation and censorship industry in the US government. It looks like they use shady NGO's to push government sponsored disinformation and to censor civilians: https://stan

When a system overheats the CPU can speed up and the clocks drift and if you're producing volumes of events you will get corruption. Wouldn't ever use a system clock... You can write a hybrid logical clock in about forty lines of

Like strong arming US companies into putting party shills onto their boards? Disappearing CEO's for months at a time? I'm glad the US doesn't have to resort to CCP corporate facism and thugery. We're all doomed if they d

Nobody is forcing people to buy this garbage and there's plenty of alternatives. My car and no car I will ever buy will have a subscription model. No printer will either.

LOL. I forgot all about that ozone hole and the mass frog-death (from fungal disease) that they tried blaming on the o-hole. I think before that their was the acid-rain and the "advancing sahara desert". At one point DDT was going

Owner of starbucks grew up in the projects. I doubt you see that level of mobility in your cuban utopia. And I'm glad that cuba isn't putting gay people into labor camps and forced re-education anymore. Nice.

Not pedestrians or runners though. Very common for cyclist's to blatantly mow through intersections and crosswalks like psychopaths. In Manhattan there's a famous local that uses a bullhorn to call them assholes. I've nearly
