mateomaui,

more and more a standard feature. I have cheap USB rechargeable light bulbs for tent camping without the danger of flames, and they also have an SOS mode.

mateomaui,

I think it’s because the translation is “huge” or something.

mateomaui,

Shouldn’t you lose your linux membership card for something like this?

mateomaui,

It could be a misfortune cookie

“fucked relationships.”

mateomaui,

One of the best stories I’ve read all year.

mateomaui,

“Now I realize, well, that was stupid,” she said. “But I bought them because I believed President Trump, because he knows all about finance, and he was going to help the real Trump Patriots get rich.”

Admits to being stupid and then exercises more of it.

mateomaui,

probably launched off a shingle in high wind

mateomaui,

Have to wonder how many more of us thought it didn’t make any sense, but didn’t push back because adults said it was so and it was in the textbooks.

mateomaui,

I actually do understand the point, my responses now are specifically to annoy know-it-all assholes who insist I don’t get it.

Your reply is nonsense. AlI said is that I didn’t see the documentary, and clearly indicated that my long since corrected personal misunderstanding about such a thing was directly due to a childhood video game. If you or others insist on being ignorant douches about that, I can’t stop you.

mateomaui,

A fun fact about taste for you - there is actually no such thing as a ‘taste map,’ or the idea that different areas of the tongue result in you tasting different things. At most, there’s just different regions of sensitivity to taste!

Always thought this was weird and didn’t make sense to my tongue.

You might’ve been taught that lemmings are known to commit suicide because they’re just that unintelligent. Turns out, this isn’t true - they’re smart enough to stay alive!

I blame the video game.

mateomaui,

I do understand that, really, I do.

mateomaui,

I never saw the documentary, but I killed a lot of virtual lemmings.

mateomaui,

True. I didn’t openly question things in that class too much for some reason, but I definitely got in trouble for being argumentative in other classes.

mateomaui,

“Why did I lose a full grade here?”

“You didn’t learn your lesson.”

mateomaui,

At the time I couldn’t be bothered to respond to most of this reply of yours, because your responses were too ignorant to take seriously, but since you’re still arguing about this, and that other moronic post where you complain about devs, someone should tell you that this line you replied with here

Stop trying to speak for everyone and impose your idea of “bad” on people.

is a hilarious example of a total lack of self awareness, as this entire post of yours is trying to speak for others and impose your definition of what a “bad” link is on everyone else.

But keep on being an idiot. You apparently cannot code anything you want done, but feel like your contribution of providing criticism is somehow equal to the work of the devs who actually built the software before you came along. It’s just entitled stupidity to think they work for you or that you’re equal to them in any way.

Not to mention that your arguments regarding fair use and letting archive.org lead the way should flag you as a potential very expensive liability for every instance admin who cannot afford a copyright battle. It’s easy to thumb your nose at potential problems when you’re not actually in charge of or responsible for anything.

mateomaui,

uh huh

mateomaui,

fallacy: all paywalled links are bad

I’ll let someone else continue this, I’ve made my argument well enough already.

mateomaui,

btw, I’m on a downvote-disabled server, so none of those you’re getting are from me.

mateomaui,

The inherent fallacy in your argument is that a link is a “bad” link simply because it goes to an original source instead of always being redirected to you via a third party that circumvents what you don’t like.

If someone posts a link to a original non-misinformation news article and it gets marked as a “bad” link, that’s actually a bug.

mateomaui, (edited )

You just identified the fallacy yourself.

Sometimes a paywalled source is the first to report on something. Calling that link a bad link is nonsense.

90+% of the time, using reader mode will bypass paywalls anyway.

Many people don’t know all the websites to redirect things through without that, so calling their contribution “bad” just because they posted that link isn’t the greatest.

It’s not even like it’s that big an issue, because usually someone else comes along that provides an alt link in the replies, so saying that this is a social failure is also ridiculous, because both were provided between two people.

Also, the notion that you or anyone else is socially filtering non-misinformation news sources from the rest of us, because you don’t see the value in it, or cannot figure out how to bypass the paywall yourself, isn’t all that great either.

edit: it’s also worth pointing out that if some people contributing links happen to be subscribers to a news source, as a subscriber they won’t necessarily know that a certain article is paywalled for everyone else, until they share it and someone who isn’t a subscriber gets the notice.
