Bought an Xbox One S from goodwill and even though it had been factory reset, it was still set as the previous owner’s home console.

Fucking Time Machine salesman ripped me off.

I bought a Time Machine from this guy and tried to go back in time to October 10th, 1582 but it didn’t work, saying “invalid date” or some such.

Tried again using a hard override and it dumped me off the coast of Africa on 1/1/1970.

"Videogames cause gun violence" was the excuse used to distract from the facts the Columbine shooters were neonazis, and here we are pulling the old Jack Thompson special again, because of course...

Hiding file extensions by default is still one of those features that I can’t believe is still a thing.

While I’m sure it looks neater, having it there makes it harder to catch double-barreled extensions like LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs

Imagine if every time you got id’ed to buy booze the clerk took your id and photocopied it and put it in a filing cabinet. Imagine if that filing had been broken into before and they never changed the locks. Also they could sell that filing cabinet of ids to anybody who asks.

if you're wondering how things are going on tumblr, it turns out one of the people who has been making "won't somebody rid us of this troublesome priest" type posts about various trans women on the site is also actively posting on kiwifarms and an actual pizzagate believer.

I don’t get how so many people in tech learn something as fundamental as Garbage In Garbage Out and then just don’t apply it to things like AI and its training datasets.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A repeating pattern I’ve noticed:

Trans woman: *makes a post about specific forms of transmisogynistic behavior by TME trans people*

Trans women in the replies/Quote Reskeets: “This happened to me.”

TME trans people in the replies/Quote Reskeets: “This never happens.”

imagine if taylor swift got sent to the worst prison in the world on trumped up charges and then two years later when the apocalypse happens she gets let out of prison to help convince a giant city destroying kaiju to help stop the end of the world.

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

Petoria and Joehio have deep and long standing cultural ties and any attempt at a peace process between the United States and Petoria should recognize that Joehio has always been closer to Petoria than the United States and make territorial concessions to match.

He's a sexual predator who was fucking a trans woman while using her as a patsy to write a book about how he thinks trannies are all gross perverts.

Upon the advice of my scheming vizer, I have decided to change my will so that my kingdom will be split equally among my three sons when I die.

Now to drink this goblet of wine that my scheming vizer has suspiciously been encouraging me to drink.

A photo of the Inuyasha manga showing Kagome describing Inuyasha as violent, selfish and having no self-control, while her friends think that she’s calling him American.

Funniest mistranslation I’ve seen is in the inuyasha manga where “Yankii” which means “delinquent youth” was mistranslated as “Yankee” as in “American.”

Because it still works.

Emma Tennent and I wrote a paper on this. TERF submission to AoNZ government committee, only talks about trans women but never refers to them (starts our "neutral" with 'transgender people' and slowly makes it clear women are meant with twisty category implications. (pdf at my researchgate) 1/2

Kash has of course done a lot of damage as the head of the FBI but I was worried he would come in as a Miller-esque true believer laser focused on weaponizing the place and he's mostly just dismantled it largely through neglect because he is laser-focused on Being A Celebrity
