How is this real https://t.co/1TVm0ZbK5g

Not only is it real, I watched this episode when it first aired — because my dad loved the show. Even I thought it was absolutely absurd at the time, and I was seven years old.

So that tells you just how terrible it is.

To this day, only around 10% of the Firefox extensions that I formerly used function. There are no replacements.

That means for me, the browser is about 90% less functional than it was three years ago. There are so many, many things that I can’t do now and what I can do takes 2-10x as much time.

Why did we have to design everything for fucking morons? Firefox’s motto should be, “Designed by fucking morons for fucking morons.”

The momentum is running out, but in many ways we’re still coasting on things done in the 1930s. Many of our parks, protected lands, artistic institutions, even scientific discoveries and technologies, depend directly on the New Deal or the ethos that it instilled.

All over and done, and now we are entering the consequences phase.

It’s funny watching libs tear themselves up over the notion that eating “foreign” food is cultural appropriation vs. the also-liberal tendency to venerate the exoticism.

Amusing to observe.

AITA for shredding my fiancé’s prom picture?

People are saying this is fake, but there are people like this out there. I know because I dated at least one! I’m not much of a sentimentalist, but I had some army mementoes that I liked. My girlfriend at the time threw them all away — even knowing I wanted them — because she said they were “holding me back” and “it’s just old junk.”

The “old junk” was a 105mm Howitzer casing I’d fired myself, my maroon beret that I wore through thick and thin, and some medals. I didn’t really care about the medals but the other stuff I was pissed about.

In hindsight, I should’ve broke up with her then and there.

I'm sad that the word "diversity" has come to be associated with a few narrow and not even very useful dimensions. A room full of straight white men (or of black lesbians, etc) can be—and typically is—hugely diverse in significant ways. Humans are so complex.

The “liberal” idea of diversity is people of different skin colors who otherwise act, look and think exactly the same way.

Very limiting.

What was the last big thing you were wrong about?

That Joe Biden would not be the Democratic nominee.

Then again, I am almost always wrong about politics.
