Also most all my friends and co workers getting on Vent to play WoW regularly and leveling up characters shortly after Burning Crusade released. Gaming hasn’t been the same since.

Next best would be COVID era playing Red Dead Online and drinking IRL and fishing in game until IRL dawn with a friend. Sunrise in that game is such a good representation of a sleepy sunrise.

Common tactic for the elite media controlling class like Trump, Musk, etc.

is giving a massive headache to those trying to pass a European bill aimed at stopping child sexual abuse material from spreading online.

Hot garbage lies

Black Lagoon is sooo bad though. Cowboy and GitS are GOATs.

Tell me more about the phone! This has taken so long and I am ready to migrate to an open phone even if it’s only for texting at this point.

Screw this OS monopoly by Apple and Alphabet.

Open to simple solutions here. I have a Pixel 4a 5g and iPhone 15 Pro* atm.

Reducing manufactured ICE raids will be used as an excuse to register.

Fair enough on hermanos, if translating a phrase directly. My initial annoyance was that it seemed like a thread about a 3 page short story felt like it left the story itself unread.

Misinformation is simply incorrect information. It does not need to be deliberate.

Glad I learned about this author, though, so thanks.

I took an interest in this post and story, which I read, and found that while I appreciate the sentiment, there’s actually a lot of misinformation in the post itself.

Cortázar was not living abroad in 1946 when this was written. He wasn’t in France until 1951. In 1946, he worked at a university as a professor of French literature in Mendoza, Argentina, and was being outed by political pressure - this is more specifically what the story is probably about.

It was written within the context of the author being outed as a professor due to political pressure.

Contextually, some Argentinian political history and the author’s background are required, but as a standalone story, it’s a wonderful bit of supernatural horror.

I was daydreaming about this recently. Assuming the content wouldn’t be removed or suppressed (it would), what kind of information could be spread of platforms that would make the majority, most or even all people stop wanting to use it?

How do we liberate even the most captured consumers of the most terrible platforms?

Unfortunately, the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.

How about no encryption for civil servants?

chicken looks bomb lemme get that
