It's hilarious how much incel sympathy materializes on lemmy the very microsecond critical support starts involving the prospect of some deferred male orgasms.

Hint for those who don't get it - it's not about the sex. It's about sending a message.

Some VC funded social media is certainly less fascist than other VC funded social media.

I would read like 60 or 70 books a year as a kid. I have the BOOK IT records to prove it. These days it's like 10. I don't think there is any shame in not reading per-se as long as you are pursuing other intellectual activities or hobbies.

I think people put too much emphasis on reading as some idealized time sink. There are lots of productive ways to spend free time and reading is one of them. When you are a kid you have fewer options but as an adult cooking or wood working or gardening can be a fine form of intellectual stimulation.

Because populism is always dangerous. If Democrats go all in on populism, I will stop voting. I am not going to play this game where we just volley lies back and forth like a tennis ball until someone trips and the other person scores a point.

I will always support sober technocracy. If American politics actually turns into populist tennis then all is lost.

This is the problem. The grievances are largely not legitimate. They are regurgitated outrage of the day. The moment you deal it they are on to the next manufactured outrage.

These are legitimately some of the only interchange designs which integrate nicely with pedestrian paths and bike lanes.

This is actually one of the most efficient compact interchange designs though. It integrates way more elegantly with accessory roads without creating huge dead zones.

Lol you think the feds won't notice that a person of interest's phone went dark for the first time in 5 years?

Everyone gets this wrong. If you want to hide, hide inside your established patterns of life. You want to do shit across state line for a weekend? Don't turn off your phone, have your friend carry it around while you are gone.

The thing which pop security types miss here is the need to blend in. Being a hole in the noise is like the worst thing you can do. Establish a pattern of life and you can use it to obfuscate your alternative activities. Understating how tracking works and using it to your advantage is 100x more useful than pretending like using a different app store or some random ROM is keeping you safe.

Lol what? They are ubiquitous as ever.

The gentle click of jackboots makes it hard to sleep

Yeah Paris is great as a cool, old, European city with lots of history. If you like just hiking around cities it's great. I can imagine if you go into it thinking it is like some French tourist resort, you will be disappointed.
