I wonder what would happen if you changed your user agent and told Firefox to say it's Chrome

This is freaking hilarious! Even Twitter knows how blue checkmarks are now badges of shame

I thought this was gonna be a post about feeling the burden of wage slavery and debt necessity, which is a real thing. But you're right, it sounds like they're upset because they can't say the n-word on Facebook lol

This is such a quality question. But a lot of people are just naming their favorite movies in the comments.

What you want is Moore's Watchmen. It is a deconstruction and reconstruction of the Superhero as an American trope.

What I loved about HBO's continuation is that they focused on how white supremacy is intertwined with heroism, just as Moore wrote in his original IP.

Then you got the Zack Snyder movie which was mostly, "ooh, look at these people with powers fight crime". None of the impending doom of the fall of society from nuclear war and/or fascism, and how the heroes were pointless because they were the ones pushing forward this doom. "Who watches the Watchmen?" etc.

He didn't want twitter in the first place. He made some legally binding comments and was legally required to purchase it after meme-ing an offer and thinking he could get away with it lol. Now he's suing the lawyers that made him buy Twitter.

Musk is not a very smart man.

That's literally the first thing I thought of while looking at that picture. There's no good reason for this. Bananas serve many purposes from green to yellow to black. Moreover, that "one per day" gimmick won't even give you the same ripeness.

I see cars as tools. I'm a fuckcars person because I believe cities should not be built to appease roads and cars. Though I do find old cars cool and fascinating, I just want good people-friendly infrastructure in the world.

That top down explanation is pretty funny and accurate. Everyone is a Tankie to fascists.

I have downloaded version 17.2 that works fine. However, versions 18.0, 18.1.2, 18.1.3, and 18.5 all close when starting up.

I'll add that the 18x versions were downloaded from audionews while the 17x version was downloaded from IPT.

Anybody know of a verifiably working 18x version for windows 11?

They used to and they still do

Holy fuck, I just wanted to read this article and the website nearly gave me an aneurysm! Who the fuck ever thought an uncloseable animated border ad would be a good idea?

Someone pirate the article for the rest of us. Jesus
