That’s an odd way to misspell “young incels”…

Could we actually get both of those rich assholes into an arena and let them fight it out?

Even NY Times is starting to see the writing on the wall, and is starting to hedge.

So now he’s conning gullible seniors also out of their military decorations? If it was anyone else, I’d say it’s a new low, but for Trump, it’s a new middle.

Next thing they’ll start rounding up people who wear glasses, like some African dictator a few decades ago.

I can’t believe It’s not TheOnion.com.

Elon Musk reminds me of a demented Elon Musk. :)

After leaving him, she can just make money by having someone ghost-write a “My Life With an Orange” book for her and selling that.

Can humans even have a real communist society? I suspect it would take a species without any individual self-preservation instinct, or individual greed, so that each member can fully serve the collective.

Well, at least we got something.

And even that is debatable. Japanese surrender came shortly after a quick succession of several events - the first bomb at Hiroshima, Soviet Union declaring war and invading continental Japanese land, the second bomb at Nagasaki, allies completely obliterating Japanese navy, and preparing to invade their home islands, etc.

Many argue that Japan would surrender even without the two nuclear bombs.

Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.

Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I’m running out of interesting content to watch there.

OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.

Sure you can - the response was “let it spread, it hits blue states more than red states”.

I really don’t know, it’s just something that I scrolled past on social media, perhaps it was just a joke/troll post. I’m kind of sorry I even brought it up here.

EDIT: I think I’m remembering this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-conservative-village/, and the porn actress thing must have been some joke someone on the internet came up with to mock it.

Wasn’t there an ad a few months back, put out by the Russians, claiming the same thing - a sanctuary for westerners who want to keep traditional values? I remember it because it had some supposedly well-known Russian porn actress in it, acting as a pure smiling maiden or something like that…

I’m quite new to OSM mapping myself, but I found following flow working for me - while out, I create a note via Street Complete reminding me to add something (stairs, bench, wastebin), maybe take a photo and attach it to the note for reference, and later, when I get home, I add the thing in openstreetmap.org editor. Last step is to “resolve” the note I created.

I only tried this once or twice a few days ago, I’m still not sure it’s a good idea, maybe it’s discouraged to “spam” notes like this, and also I don’t know how long the attached photos stay hosted, increasing hosting costs to whoever pays the bills.

Under the veneer of fantasy parody, Pratchett was able to sneak in surprisingly strong ethics and morality lessons in a very likeable manner. It’s one of many reasons I love the Discworld books - they make me want to be better.

I suspect that the characters Esmerelda Weatherwax and Sam Vimes were in fact Pratchett’s vehicles to convey his own moral values.
