the clown you are

stop talking like a jojo villain

I realize exactly how much I use them, reread what I have written.

You’re an idiot for thinking this way

le regime

you can take the Redditor out of reddit but … speaking of which, are you updooting your own replies?

I’d be very surprised for one thing, because IE is no longer a product Microsoft supports in any capacity. I’d also be confused as to which tools the web hosting market just shifted to that they’re using Microsoft tools, there are monopolists out there I’m worried about but Microsoft isn’t my main one right now

election in 2004

2010 election

I wonder if anything of note happened between then and now, in other news Donald Trump is still president and gay marriage is illegal in the US

Maybe learn a bit about the subject first.

I suggest you go to Kyiv in the grocery store and explain this to the workers there

The people of Ukraine seem to have a somewhat different view on the matter

Yep, that’s the bargain I’m making. I’m way happier now that I’m not yelling at nerds on Reddit/Twitter/etc. The nerds on the fediverse are much less time consuming

I think it also goes back to the fact that Twitter et al are meant to be addictive, the way I don’t like giving up Twitter is the same way I wouldn’t like giving up smoking, which both alarms me and makes me ok giving those things up

That’s fine, I will continue to use websites that work for me and when they don’t I will complain

different from a hundred years ago and compared to a world without any nuclear weapons

I don’t see why, China is constrained by the same consequences of nuclear war, and has the same responsibility to avoid it, e.g. by relaxing claims that it owns and controls the entire South China Sea. Especially because I don’t think you’d say the same would be justified if the US claimed the entire Gulf of Mexico, or bearing sea, for example

containment, encirclement, etc

Exactly what Russia said pre February 2022

How weak do you have to be that sailing boats 100 mi from your shores is an act of war, and by the way, if it is an act of war there’s a concerning lack of response to it

It’s less about what they implement, and more about what their users who have clout expect. My regional bank is far more responsive to customer feedback than, for example, Bank of America. As for governments there’s all sorts of bureaucracy I can push on with not a lot of resources. It’s not accessible to everyone but organizations don’t need all that much prodding to respond anyway

I don’t see why I should be the only one

The worker should’ve Stood Her Ground, she rightfully feared for her life, she didn’t know if this guy had a gun, if he was going in there to hurt people

I don’t have any problem accessing them, which was my point

Ok, so I will not use them. This is acceptable to me

Bank: my bank is too boomercore to ever implement something like this, we only recently got 2fa

Government: my government still makes me file my taxes on paper and mail it to them so I’m ok for now

These schemes all have the same problem that reddit and Twitter have: they need me more than I need them. If your website or app or whatever won’t work if I’m not on the right device I won’t visit it, and that’s not a bad thing

the U.S. military is engaged in talks with the Philippines to develop a new civilian port on the Batanes Islands

Talk about clickbait

But even if it weren’t civilian, is the implication the Philippines can’t rent space for a port for a foreign navy at all? Or is there some demarcation line within their borders that they lose this sovereignty?

Yes?
