  • This reminds me of when I was young and could still revel how unhealthy my lifestyle was.

    20 years later me and literally all my stoner engineering friends try to move, stretch, eat and fuck as healthy as possible.

    Taking things for granted is the greatest luxury possible. Enjoy it because it won’t last.







  • Ok, even though I know this will make no difference to ‘you people’ (sorry just cannot help myself xD).

    In this case I choose to use this specific word because it’s so obviously a dogwhistle for right wing extremists that in the context of this meme I think it’s funny, since my actual stance is neither authoritarian or rightwing.

    I don’t seriously mean to perpetuate negative stereotypes with regards to people with mental handicaps.

    Just as a curiosity, are you by any chance from the US? I just cannot imagine anyone from Europe making such a big deal about a joke like this, let alone use the term ableist.

    I guess my brain has just rotted as a result of a few decades of being on the internet. Inside i’m still an edgy teen apparently. No actual offense meant :)






  • Does such an angle exist from the google perspective? Probably.

    Is it ‘just’ this and nothing else, I’d argue no.

    Matters tend to be more complex than simple black and white statements.

    I for one think Mozilla is one of the most visible actors with regards to privacy promoting thought and FOSS, with widespread ‘mainstream’ reach. If it wasn’t for Firefox I’d have to use chromium for instance, and that would make the world a sadder day.

    I do agree that funding from google is an obvious conflict of interest and probably influences policy in a way not a 100% aligned with humanitarian goals. This is definitely less than ideal and I think everybody involved on this side of the fence would like to see that change. Maybe you could help them with that?








  • Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.

    Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.

    What astonishes me most is that at least half of you are probably highly paid engineers that are debating this on company time instead of using your brainpower for actual problems.

    I like it!

    Also I choose spices for instant riches and laser for burning out the eyes of my enemy to solidify my identity as a magician. After that we can finally focus on growing weed and mushrooms because y’all know 5 tanks ain’t gonn last long.
