This shit’s just sad. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Bu controlling what people see and hear on TV and social media, they don’t need to use guns. At least, not nearly as many.

How else would you say it?

“Wwwwuuuuhh dot Google dot com”?

Edit: or I guess, “world wide web” would make more sense?

It’s hard to leave because it’s easy to join, and because it has the critical mass of users. Simple as that. It takes a lot to get people to abandon their chats, their friends, their groups, and the years of built-up message history, for an app that likely has fewer users and fewer features.

You literally had a nightmare?

Mmmm, no. Very mammalian.

There would be no one left to value it as such. It would simply continue to exist.

Same, and the only proof of a loving god I’ve ever seen is that we have been given a world of cute, pettable animals who love being petted. Some garden Petting Zoo of Eden type shit.

Looks like Elon was chewing on the wires again

I’m not sure that’s feasible, since the states don’t just sign a check to the Feds once a year, it’s paid via payroll taxes. To my knowledge, there is no kind of mechanism for entire states to collectively refuse payment.

Well, yes, but I meant they to pool their budgets amongst themselves, like a mini federal government.

Blue states need to start up their own shadow government, fund their own shit.

Would be better if it was Mastodon, but I suppose I shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and good riddance to Twitter, indeed.

Try explaining how to do that to your non-techie relatives, especially the older ones who like reading. Yes, this makes is more difficult to switch.

I think they meant that, if she does give birth, it will have to be through her pseudopenis, as happens with spotted hyenas. It’s exactly as unpleasant as it sounds.

Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are “a little bit off” in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don’t like it when something doesn’t easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.

Obviously, I can’t say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it’s probably a better explanation than… Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.

Still, it’s a cool premise for a horror story at least.
