the otherwise nameless woke menace that’s coming for their precious bodily fluids.

aaaaargh I wish I could draw.

That’s a lot of fucking work and obviously if you’re starting out you can’t exactly afford to pay for assistant writers to do the menial labour that comes with it.

Give this promptfucker the props they deserve: usually they don’t just come out and say it.

Sorry, I’m American, I’ve forgotten how normal human empathy works. I’ve heard that in some places society isn’t entirely driven by spite but I think that’s a myth.

If it makes you feel better, it costs an average of $18,865 for an uninsured American to give birth to a healthy baby, and a tenth of the country is uninsured.

I mean, it doesn't make me feel better, because I live here. But you don't, so YMMV. Or I suppose YKMV, in metric, because the US still uses imperial measurements for everything, because we're too good for real numbers. USA! USA!

There really is a difference in professional ethics guidelines, though. Matt Levine used to work at Goldman, he totally always sides with financialization, and for that matter everyone at Bloomberg is paid by Mike Bloomberg, but they still have professional guidelines preventing them from most trading.

ETA: lol. lmao, even

A Vox spokesperson declined to comment on whether the company has an ethics policy in place around reporters betting on sports they cover.

Imagine saying “we have no specific views on eugenics”! You should, buddy. You should.

Trying to figure out if that comment is a bit or not, and at least one of the poster's other comments on the video is this literary masterwork:

some people have observable x chromosones and others have observable y chromosones, and those categories are good to make useful distinctions, just like I make a distinction between a chair and a sofa... I still don't believe gender is real, and I can still observe sex. Sure, sex could be an illusion, but it doesn't matter. The chair is most certainly an illusion.... At what point does wood become a chair? Is a three legged chair a chair? A two legged? A one legged? A none legged? Is a seat and a chair the same thing? What if I break the seat in half? Is it still a chair?

They have had hands down the best accessibility in desktop markets for 20 years, no contest. Overwhelming market share for many assistive techs. Which is why I’m absolutely livid at them now. If they break Windows I have nowhere else to go. Garbage people making garbage choices.

At the risk of being sincere in the snark pit, hugs. Good for you for taking care of yourself.

The prose on that The Spruce link makes me hate the concepts of design, aesthetics, and houses.

[-] gnomicutterance@awful.systems 13 points 6 months ago

It’s weird, but it’s normal weird. It’s the kind of thing you see in design magazines and pinterest and the spruce. I don’t know if actual rich people do it but it’s definitely fairly normal middlebrow home decor.

(A lot of fireplaces in older US buildings are vestigial, often blocked up, and are inefficient at heating.)
