    Elon Musk clowns BBC reporter. BBC: "Twitter has become more full of hate since you took over!" Musk: "Can you give me an example?" BBC: "Uh, no, I don't read that feed. Let's talk about something else. How come you changed COVID labels?" Musk: "COVID isn't as big of a concern anymore. So...

    Kinda, some formats have withstood the test of time better than others but you're still going to have the issue that either WORM CDs lose their data and become unreadable after a few years, and/or the disc drive to read the media your ASCII is on isn't compatible with any modern hardware so...

    Yeah, but it'll be trash in a few years, both because that media doesn't hold up and because as formats and technology change, old media becomes unreadable. I personally have multiple books over eighty years old on my shelves and have seen books dating back to the Bronze Age (Specifically won a...

    Imagine if you will that there are two options standing before you. One of these options helps the environment cheaply and the financial benefits would go to millions of poor and middle-class rural landowners. The other funnels vast amounts of cash to the already super-rich urbanites and hoses...

    The even funnier part is that her data figures are based on the fact that many DA's have quit pressing charges on a lot of crimes, like SF's "No response if it's under a thousand dollars" shoplifting issue. The crime's still there, it's just that convictions are down.

    Other than murder, violent crime is not up. Did you know that? Violent crime is a key midterm voting issue, but what does the data say? Favorite Comments:

    I'm not trying to help my case, I'm trying to help yours, and based on the hearts and minds I've reached here, not to mention the hilarious ratio you're at the bottom of, I'm doing a far better job of it than you are. Today you served as my pawn and helped make my arguments for me by providing...

    On the contrary, it can only be a good thing. Your sentence can be parsed in one of two ways: 1: You've been convinced and changed your mind, due to examining evidence. In this case you've become a more valuable member of the board as somebody who looks at evidence rather than going off...

    Nobody said everyone defaults to kill people, that's a non-sequitur fallacy. I'm interested in seeing you develop a bit more on why overt racism is a threat to people akin to promoting cannibalism, I can't see the connection at all and I'd like you to expand and explain that. I also don't...

    That's true of every race though. It doesn't mean a statement about wanting genocide isn't racist.

    AP is adjusting their style sheet (Style Sheets are basically what "rules of English" a given work uses to determine grammar and such, as there's no agreed-on single ruleset) to be more inclusive... by eliminating she from most of the stuff that was previously called she. Favorite Comment:
