Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

Kids - listen to me. There’s only ONE star wars movie. The rest are fan-made films that are fun but meaningless. Don’t get confused.

Right? I mean, i’ll take the win, absolutely, but c’mon. Anybody still on Xitter - stop. Just stop.

International editor doesn’t understand how media works.

I’ll agree.

And now we’re living in the “that was a bad idea” world.

Koss porta-pro headphones. And some vanity color ear foams just for fun. EDC.

what telemetry?

I’m pretty sure it’s the nazi propaganda that’s annoying. Poor Elmo though, all alone with his drugs and his white power and his billions of dollars and international governmental tie-ins. Dadgum hippies just like hatin’ on him to be “cool” and “hip”.

“8 cores should always be enough for anybody”

It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out. I was just about to upvote it.

I love open source too, but this:

i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you.

Is just super problematic. I appreciate the enthusiasm for open source, but google is a monopoly actively involved in making the internet worse in order to profit from it. They do this by leveraging your personal information, and that’s bad.

Boring conversation anyway. Luke! We’re gonna have company!

I remember when Malcolm passed and Brian was talking about him as the architect of their sound. He said he wasn’t always big on talking but once in awhile after a song Brian would look over at him and he’d have a grin on that said “Yeah. That’s it.”

Yeah. That’s it.

It doesn’t need to be more complex than “more votes = shows up first when sorted by ‘hot’”?

What’s a “trade-based ads-socials”?

Love it. I was wondering the other day when we’d see a return to “simple” games like pool. Can you imagine the graphics power of today’s games applied to “just” pool? Instead of 1000 things exploding, you could have a true ambient scene that was ever-changing and create different locales etc. Someday?
