I will never understand #parents that sue for-profit companies for not parenting their kids for them.
That includes #SocialMedia companies.
There's probably only one thing I really don't like about C# and that's that the String class can be written as a lowercase primitive.
It never ceases to amaze me how much big companies are willing to punish their legitimate customers to prevent bad actors from abusing their service.
Lack of accountability for one's actions is the #1 problem in this country, both in the private and public sectors.
Every other problem stems from it.

So let me get this straight. The GOP got rid of their Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, because he dared push through a continuing resolution on the budget with the help of mostly Democrats. So after cycling through four possible other leaders, they pick a guy with zero experience and tons of skeletons, who then proposes and pushes through…a continuing resolution on the budget with the help of mostly Democrats. Genius.

@gerrymcgovern I cannot disagree with this take more.
You talk about saving Nature, but what is the preferred tool of conservationists worldwide? Photography and videography, now disseminated over the internet.
Mass-accessible photography has been a wonderful tool for human expression, social progress and accountability, and personal enrichment of life by allowing everyone to record part of their existence in this world.
Data storage runs on electricity, so it is primed and ready to run on clean energy where available. Not to mention that these energy concerns are minuscule in terms environmental damage done by the big players in more destructive industries.
This is such a weird environmental hill to die on. You are damning such a small, artful, human piece of the pie that genuinely brings joy and positive change into the world!
Besides, who are you to say that 90% of these photos are "crap"? I bet most of those photos mean something to someone, just not to you.

@artcollisions @gannet @Fredatron Karate instructor Elmar Schmeisser says that acquiring a skill is like carving a cube into a sphere--every corner you cut off just makes new corners. There comes a point when all you see of your own work is corners, whereas someone who lacks your skills sees a pretty close approximation of a sphere!

Very good commentary on the new #UssupremeCourt Code of Conduct, from @Dahlialith. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/new-supreme-court-ethics-code-alito-thomas-roberts-nah.html
Dear restaurant websites: If you need me to sign up for yet another account more than you need my order, you're not getting either.
So, I'm in the fifth season of my first watch of The #Sopranos now. A couple observations:
1) What the fuck? Steve Buscemi is in this show?
2) I still can't get over how much more sympathetic Carmela is than Skyler from Breaking Bad.
3) I swear, if Van Zandt's character ends up betraying or getting betrayed by the family, I'm gonna lose my shit. Love that guy.
I sorta get why long, well-manicured nails are supposed to be a symbol of virility for attraction, but anyone who has nails longer than, like, an inch or two, (especially if they're fake) is just advertising how completely useless they see themselves. Why else would they so handicap their own primary tools for worldly manipulation?

I'm a totally blind software tester with previous testing experience. I know there are many of you in the #Fedivers working on many cool projects, I'd love to test them for accessibility if you're looking for an accessibility tester or any accessibility consultancy please get in touch :-) if everyone could repost this, that would be great thanks very much :-) #a11y
We've gotten to the point where American leaders of Christianity are *too conservative for the Vatican*.
For those who don't know, that's *crazy*.

A complaint was filed at the FEC alleging former Pres. Trump violated campaign finance laws. The nonpartisan staff recommended that we investigate.
You’ll never guess what happened next . . . .

Biden should say it loud; "Re-elect me with one more senator and the House, and I’ll sign a bill to codify Roe in January 2025."
Say it over and over.

Now that progressive Democrat candidates have beaten almost every single one of you "Moms For Liberty" extremists on every ballot, notice how we don't ban a bunch of books your kids enjoy, misgender them on the way to their favorite sport, or demand to know the exact shape of their genitals like a bunch of fuckin weirdos.

Wild opinion, but the majority of public school parents are normal people who work for a living and do not want genital-obsessed, home-schooling, social media stunting, adults in charge of their kids' education. https://www.thedailybeast.com/moms-for-liberty-candidates-taught-a-lesson-in-2023-elections
