I 100% respect your choice to get the vaccine and even support it! I understand that it can and does help society get back to whatever the "new normal" is (I absolutely despise that phrase). I'm probably more selfish than oth

I'm probably going to get flagged/whatever for this, but if there's any chance that I'm going to get blood clots (and potentially die/stroke out/etc. from them) from a vaccine for a virus that has a high percen

Stallman has autism. I don't think he really understands the intricacies of social boundaries, situations, and limits.

That's absolutely horrifying and funny at the same time.

I really want to have an electric truck as my next vehicle, but with all the technology and phoning home that's being put into them - I'm going to be driving old ICE trucks for the foreseeable future.

Nice! I was going to spend the 20 bucks on this on Steam a couple weeks ago. I'll wait for an open source binary to be created and run it that way then!

Unfortunately, I don't think it can be avoided - you can't have freedom of speech without having the worst of the worst be able to speak. I dislike the people that support facist, racist beliefs, but I 100% will defend their right

I find it very hard to believe that Twitter has interest in creating a decentralized service that they can't control content on or have sole ownership of advertising revenue. I think they're just trying to be the trendsetters so t

Parlers goal of being the alternate free speech platform is horrendously thought out. The same companies and that they are trying to remove influence from (Silicon Valley - amazon, twitter, facebook, etc.) are the same companies that they&#

I would assume content moderation makes Twitter absolutely nothing and actually just bleeds tens of millions of dollars annually. They'd do their best to outsource the work somewhere that's super cheap (India, etc.) or they'd

Notice I never once said they shouldn't be held accountable for their mistakes.

In some places you can ask your pharmacist to write up a prescription for birth control without even consulting your doctor. I know this because I live somewhere where this is the case.

I'm going to pretext this with saying I can't like or dislike the US policing system, because it doesn't affect me directly. I can only comment on what I've been seeing through media/social media/etc. It's

That's absolutely shocking to me. I knew it was a lot but on the order of billions/trillions? I _REALLY_ do not want to get political, but the timing is just too coincidental to not be mentioned... Now that a certain person is goi

Not looking to give them an "out" - but I wonder if it's because these companies take on so much debt by buying properties and making the bet that people will always be living and working in them, paying rent. Now that people

I took it to mean that it doesn't matter if it's left or right, "Democrat" or "Republican". The transfer of wealth has (in my personal theory) lead to the lobbying of everybody, no matter which political affili

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I was trying to say that it doesn't matter what you believe is causing all this chaos, it's independent from what's actually going on in the world right this second. Whether it's the conspi

Man, it's so frustrating seeing all these businesses shutting down (smaller ones are closing for good), meanwhile I'm sure Bezos and the Silicon crew are reporting record profits this year through food deliveries and amazon purcha

I guess it's time to de-activate my FitBit account. It was nice while it lasted. I wish companies wouldn't fall prey to Google money on principle, but that money is oh so good...

If someone wants to sell their kidney for money, why should anybody step in to stop them? Advise them of the short-term benefits and the long-term drawbacks and let them make the decision.

Does anyone else feel extremely uncomfortable with giving a silicon valley company your biometric data for payment processing?

There's probably a non-insignificant number of people working for Alphabet that browse this site, so don't be surprised. There's definite social media and search bias against more right-leaning content. After the 2016 electio

Stupidity, self-interest, and self-loathing. Every day I see the mainstream news scream about war, death, famine, poverty, etc. etc. etc. - when it's clearly not as bad as they're portraying it. People eat it up because it's

Is it possible that these series of events happened so soon to each other that Hootsuite's representative had no knowledge of an ICE contract? Maybe it was considered as "just another contract" to the company, and word didn&#

I wonder how many advertisements are on Facebook that are false, regardless of if they're of a political nature. These massive silicon valley companies have proven time and time again that they are incapable (or _unwilling_ - which I&#

Remember when 99% of laptops priced around $800 or lower were automatically doomed with a 1024x768 screen - and to get a higher resolution you'd be paying at least 300-400 more? Yeeks.
