Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

There is no ethical way to consume Harry Potter, part the millionth.
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Since 2021, Mastercard has been imposing strict regulations on platforms that use the company's financial services — and Steam appears to be their latest target.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

the government is seriously claiming that ‘death to the idf’ is a threat against jews.
that’s wildly antisemitic.
the idf does not represent jews. that’s like claiming isis represents muslims.

It’s wild how we have to put up with school shootings every other month because of a comma in this second amendment’s text, but apparently this is still up for interpretation.
Just to give a sense of how insane the birthright citizenship stuff is, this is what the constitution actually says about the matter.
There is literally nothing controversial about it. Either 2+2=4 or nothing means anything.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit.
And if you ARE intentionally a transphobe, kindly either fuck off or educate yourself, whichever you're capable of.
