Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

Sorry, who?

I checked, but the only memorable Kirk I can dredge up from my memory (which is where I store facts about people worth remembering) is that of James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise.

The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.

All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.

Yeah I also don’t notice it if we’re friends. It’s the assumption of familiarity that bugs me/feels disrespectful, I think…

“Bro” or any variation thereof that assumes familiarity where none exists.

The artifice offends.

That’s why all of us Americans can quickly tell when someone is just trying to start shit when they get angry online…

The abysmal state of your union somewhat belies your stated ability to “tell when someone is just trying to start shit”. Someone started shit quite some time ago, friend. They continue to do so and I don’t see any evidence that the body politic is even remotely aware.

I’m just saying the American shit detection algorithm might not be as sophisticated as you’re making it out to be.

…and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have or I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.

Do you also teach your kids your unendurable arrogance?

Imagine how much more successful any given business might be by simply… ignoring Twitter.

Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then

Lol wut. Not even remotely.

Geez. Fire whoever hired that guy I guess.

And dig deep. This might go all the way to the top; we might have to clean the whoooole house here.

A much more original way to devalue your currency than the Romans.

May it go to zero.

Time to flood the zone with martyrs I suppose. They should be made afriad to hold their “vigils”.

Yep me too. Just another loud NPC in the village square, spouting about side quests that would negatively affect my build if I started them.

Utter waste of protein. His carbon is being put to far better use now.

I’m for “biological metabolism” staying away from him, including processes currently in-situ in the host organism.

No matter which way you want to spin this narrative:

1. American ICE agents put Korean citizens in handcuffs and ankle restraints
2. multiple people were detained in a single cell, and denied Miranda rights and consular access
3. the Korean government is taking this seriously
4. multiple billions of investment and lots of jobs were/are on the line.
5. talk is in the wind to relocate this investment (and hence the jobs) either to Mexico or Canada

Overstaying a visa in Korea would absolutely not land you the same treatment, but go ahead with your whataboutism. You keep digging that hole 'Mericaints. Eventually you’ll make it to Korea.

Hyundai deliberatly endangered the.welfare of their employees

Any company sending employees to the SHITHOLE COUNTRY that is the USA is obviously endangering them.

Fucking QED.

Canadians are taking notes.

I’m from the 90s Internet. Geocities. Tripod. Webrings. My awesome gothy co-worker staying late after work to update her vampire fan-fiction site because hardly anyone had a computer and the boss let her use the company’s windows 95 machine.

We are categorically lazier as a culture now than then. I expect things to enshittify further until we collectively take responsibility and accountability for our own culture, engagement and entertainment online. As we used to. We need more stupid web tricks, this place used to have all sorts of public art and weird monuments to human quirkiness.

Until they take away from us the ability to purchase a 10$ domain, use DNS, and make HTML forbidden knowledge, anyone can be out there contributing. I realize, however, that most will not; I’ve recently started getting wide eyed stares of amazement because I have my own domain and use it for my email address, so we seem to be sliding further…

Not sure how we fix this.
