Why do Western officials insist on gaslighting the public on illegal border crossings? Why do they attempt to destroy anyone that publicly opposes mass immigration from the third world?

Why are feminists so fucking obsessed with men crying?

It's insane, the amount of time, they keep on repeating, that men cannot express their emotions, because they don't cry all the time. Get a new arguments already.

I am still angry that facial piercings and visible tattoos are no longer verboten in public-facing jobs. Every time I get one or an obviously incompetent minority or a gender blob as waitstaff I am tempted to walk out, but I know nothing will change and I can’t ever return. I usually feel that would be for the best. If my wife weren’t so bad with social confrontation I’d do it. I know she agrees but the confrontation is worse for her than putting up with it. That’s why I don’t like going out to eat.

I don't know why but I'm so nostalgic over Google Video despite the fact that I only watched Lego stop-motion videos on it as a kid.

Switched games - I remember playing a demo version of this a long time ago...

...don't remember finding one of these in it, though.

So apparently YouTube is going ballistic on Invidious instances (again). Just a reminder that Google Video not only allowed you to download their videos but also had their own desktop video player for watching videos offline, granted it was their own proprietary video format, but still.

a smart company would just accept resumes in person at this point. pay some intern minimum wage to sit at a desk and put the resume in the right job opening bin

it solves a bunch of problems

Anyone remember electing Bill Gates into any kind of decision-making capacity?

This photo shows the speed in which degraded areas of land can be revived using regenerative cattle grazing.

The landowners rehabilitated this eroded gully that formed in their paddock by fencing cattle IN it, instead of out of it.

This is counterintuitive to how we currently look at land management and regeneration.

The way in which they did this forms the fundamental methods of regenerative agriculture:

Lunduke has a great article on Mozilla funding (where the money goes):

Mozilla has also run unhinged articles about the fediverse:

Deko had a rant about how he's no longer donating to Mozilla, and instead donating to fedi projects, although it's no longer public

@xianc78 it's literally a catch all for everyone the poster disagrees with online

A GitHub account, personal website connected to your real name, and a LinkedIn are basically required to get anywhere in the software industry now and it really sucks.

I get why techbros are hated, but I don't think it's an excuse to write off some new idea as there might be some useful applications for it. Seriously, I see a lot of people talking about why we should never go to the stars because they only perceive it as a techbro's wet dream.

So apparently, my definition of "techbro" was all wrong. I thought it was referring to right-libertarian-leaning, sometimes rich, tech-nerds who offer "solutions" to the world's problems when they are (at-best) perceived as band-aid solutions. But apparently, it's actually about "toxic masculinity in the industry".
