Oh huh, that makes a lot of sense now.

Nah yeah its like that everywhere. At first it seemed sales tax thing to make the price an even $16 or something but at 8% it comes out to 16.07 so its… genuinely suspicious.

He very well may be. This is anecdotal but I’ve noticed that some people use autism as a shorthand for other disabilities, particularly if they aren’t close with the individual in question. I have no idea how widespread this is but it creeps me out a little every time I notice it happening.

Up with trans

I think that the best thing you can do, right now, is to reach out to the transgender people in your lives and tell them you care, and if applicable, that you love them. This goes doubly so for the ones in the UK. I imagine that most, if not all of us really need to be told that someone gives a shit.

Yeah, there’s much, much more to be done but I think that would be a nice place to start.

Theres a lot of really fucked up evil ones out of print that can be yours for the low, low price of however much they charge for 10,000 copies. Theres one where a holocaust survivor gets pilled on the very Jack Chick specific version of the Catholic World Conspiracy and immediately converts to evangelical christianity. “Squatters” is about Palestine and claims that the Nakba was self-inflicted, very “I support Israel because Jesus is gonna come back” type stuff. Queer people are portrayed worse than murderers are in the Jack Chick universe, lots of “but its okay they deserved it!” regarding SA and HIV/AIDS.

But yeah no some of this shit is hilarious (cw: queerphobia and animal abuse)

This eight panel sequence fucking slaughters me, I love Bobby.

IIRC /pol/ (as well as other boards) had a feature that would put flags on user’s posts based off of the location they were posting from. This was easily spoofed using things like VPNs so if the numbers we’re seeing here are at all related to that feature then this is functionally meaningless. Also, this looks like a screenshot from one of the archive sites, probably not related to the hack.

Sorry to be that guy.

To be clear, there are operations from all over the world that employ posting as a means to sway public opinion and manufacture consent. What I’m saying is that this image shouldn’t be used as proof of one thing or another.

I’m not sure about that last part. While it may prove useful in the event of a climate collapse scenario I have doubts as to its purpose being so forward-thinking. The USA is white supremacist, built on slavery, the perpetrator of genocides and born from imperialism. Such a state turning its tools inwards is probably just the natural progression of things.

Tachiyomi and its related forks are very, very good.

Is there a way to disable this feature beyond the obfuscation methods mentioned elsewhere in this thread? Like software hacks and such.

Hello i have a question from my cat gathered with much the same method - " p[’ "

My favorite part of linux news is that you get a headline like this and to 99.5% of the population it sounds like word salad but at the same time there’s at least 15 dudes who are going to be totally stoked by this.

The reactionary nature of nostalgia aside…

Making electronics with transparent parts is good because it is a reversal of this phenomenon where the mechanical nature of devices is obfuscated from the consumer. A modern smartphone is designed as though it was ashamed to be a machine, a black box with a screen on one side and a camera on the other. While these do not explain themselves to the user they are open as to what they are, a collection of circutboards and switches and wires arranged in a way that serves a purpose. They are something created with intention, rather than having been produced out of nothing.

That being said, transparent plastics tend to be less durable than their opaque counterparts, which definitely contributed to the end of the trend.

I would like to ask if they have any good jokes that no one outside of the DPRK would get.

Not only is it normal, but as some other posters have mentioned, it is a good habit to be in. This may be a hot take but people should also look at their toilet paper after wiping and at their poop before flushing.

Love him or hate him this man just can’t stop winning. Next thing you know he’s gonna be the pope too.

the israelis attempting to invade lebanon could be considered a border conflict flaring to life? Maybe? That might be stretching definitions though.
