This is a baseless but very reasonable theory - because Pinterest pays them a fuck ton of money.

Yeah, the dedicated cables for international market coordination and HFC would be unaffected except in the most dire situation.

Goatse raises an objection.

Pintrest is the worst website ever built and has caused immense damage to the free sharing of information.

Almost all RGB keyboards have a switch to turn off the lighting since some people have their computers in their bedrooms.

The good news is that if they half ass it with targeted bans people who give a shit will have ample opportunity to spread word of alternatives to those motivated to evade censorship.

If they go full ass then the shock will likely propel that information over traditional media or through established communications alternatives.

China has pretty much rolled out censorship optimally and everyone is aware of it and alternatives - and it costs the government an absolute fuck-ton to maintain.

Nothing happened to them. Those guys are still exactly the same.

The difference is that there’s a ton of money in that sector now so a bunch of greedy assholes moved in and now look like they’re the folks actually doing tech stuff.

Oh also, there’s always been a fair amount of legitimately crazy among tech people (we’re strange folk) and those voices get more amplification due to the idiots at the top.

A single family home… it’d sure be nice though.

Laughing at dad jokes.

Alternatively, there’s always Shellac - it’s kind of a lost artform now but it’s a really awesome material to use.

May we all have the pleasure of shitting on his grave one day.

If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.

Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren’t making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.

It’s funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).

Maes Hughes’ big action moment in Full Metal Alchemist - either version.

Alternatively, the scene this music https://youtu.be/EL7e5XrzanA goes to (Ep 5 of Cowboy Bebop) - far more of a tear jerker for me than the final episode.

Cats are extremely dangerous for their size but unless you were infirm or a child you’d have no trouble defeating a cat - it might leave you scarred and injured but if it’s you or a cat you win.

In Florida corn syrup isn’t taxed at 0% it’s taxed below 0% because it’s already gone through layers of subsidies.

“Repeal farm subsidies” is one of the few things you could walk into congress and have overwhelming opposition to from both sides.

So you’re supportive of Canadian sin taxes on sugar? Obviously America is broken as shit but let’s look at a less fundamentally awful example. Canada has a (granted smaller) issue with obesity and the costs of supporting long term care for it - a sin tax on sugar that helps support the Canadian healthcare system due to the outsized costs obesity causes.

Sin taxes are an incredibly effective way to reflect externalities of actions… sin taxes on offensive goods with no healthy malady are dumb as fuck - but we should be making sure that consumers are seeing a more accurate cost for expensive consumption habits. In an ideal world those revenues would be earmarked for programs to counter the societal harm (i.e. buying a pack of cigarettes would come with essentially a payroll style tax that’d fund smoking cessation programs) but America is currently deeply dysfunctional.
