it’s not like physical media these days has any reason to be actual discs, just use SD cards or USB drives…

DDG is among the Least Worst*

right? i don’t --like-- actually think they’re a good company, because clearly they don’t care about the ethical implications of AI use, but i’ll fucking applaud them for having the nobel prize-worthy intelligence and patience to not repeatedly stab themselves in the stomach.

i mean yeah, they don’t magically know if it’s AI or not, that’s why you can flag images.

watch out for PFOSS in your water supply

people want realtime chats, which i do understand

what’s a better campaign than having your time in office be a constant stream of praise?

different causes: people are having less kids in the US because they’re living in misery, whereas in europe we’ve long had fewer kids because better education and less need to have 8 kids so one of them survives and can take care of you as you get old.

Because you’re sucking on it and the sugar dissolves into your saliva you get a lot of sweetness that lasts a long time, rather than constantly shoveling stuff into your mouth.

Now, i have no clue how terrible it is for your teeth to soak your mouth in sugar water for hours on end, but it’s not like that doesn’t happen with other candies, and i’d imagine it’s pretty good to avoid chewing on sugar?

i’m convinced the chinese congress finishes every meeting with “let us now read the good word of Sun Tzu: Never interrupt your enemy while they are shitting their pants in public”, pulling up a random news article about the US, and everyone sits there softly giggling for five minutes.

gender/sex too, why the fuck does anyone but a doctor need to know that? not like it’s even correct a lot of the time
