Nazi Billionaires Fuck Off
Asking "What role can Twitter play in preventing white supremacy radicalization" is like asking "What role can Exxon Mobil play in lowering carbon emissions?" or "What role can the military-industrial complex play in ending genocide in Yemen?"
An unregulatable hypercapitalist industry will lie, cheat, radicalize, kill, mass-murder, mass-incarcerate, or propagate fascism for the bottom line
Fascism enriches Jack Dorsey as much as it benefits Exxon or Lockheed Martin.

archive discourse, angery subtoot
just because someone can do something, doesn't make it right to do so.
just because someone will do something that isn't right and can get away with it, doesn't suddenly make it excusable or not something to push back on when we can, where we can.
it angers me to see people respond to something with "well i don't see why this is a big problem, just don't do the thing you'd be doing that they will do something wrong with".
this line of thinking enables those doing wrong who we could otherwise stop
@Oneironott Oh well! More to hug!
re: Kink, Inflation
@Lunostophiles@snouts.online Same, if I'm honest!
Longwinded explanation, destroying clickbait
I think it's time to end clickbait, starting with the one on the right.
The 3.5mm connector on headphones and headsets are not some deep secret. We pay no mind to it because we don't really care about it..unless they're used for AV things, then we tend to.
The rings are only there to seprate the "poles" of the connector itself. That's all it is.
If they weren't there, then..it would be a sound of nonsense.
So, when it comes to poles, they're just the parts of the connector. Headphones tend to have three poles (Left, Right and Ground), while headsets have four (Left, Right, Mic and Ground.)
So there you have it! You don't need a 10 min video explaining it, and it's easier to read, too!
@catgirl I think you can at least disable it, but it's still in the code. I've done it a couple of times already.
You just have to set "extensions.pocket.enabled" and "identity.fxaccounts.enabled" to false in about:config
@JulieSqveakaroo Oh my! She's pretty!
re: UK politics, Brexit, EU elections
Might want to add "Pro-faffing about" to that list.
Still, a lot lower than anti-brexit, even though the Neo-Nazi..er, I mean Brexit Party is the biggest.
There could also be a general election on the horizon, too. That's what I'm more worried about.
re: NSFW, lewd
@zoe Aww~
NSFW, lewd
Big bloated bot girls~
Meta, Archive Team
It might get to the point where IP blocking might be the solution. Not ideal, but...
Archive Team, I've said it once before, I will say it again
It can conflict with the "Right to be forgotten."
Religon, Hmm...
It's entirely possible! If it's really the case, then..it would explain a lot of things.

I really wish veg*ism wasn't presented as such an aggressive, black-and-white moral issue. When you tell someone that every time they eat meat they're committing murder, their only options are to change their lifestyle completely, feel shitty whenever they eat meat, or reject that narrative outright. Most people go for the last
But the fact is, our meat-heavy diet isn't sustainable, and we'll have to change it eventually if our species is to survive. So every step you take *is* helpful
Try to eat less meat. If you do eat meat, make less of it red meat. When eating plants, try and eat in season (and local, if possible). Try out some meat substitutes and meatless recipes - they're better than you think
But don't get overwhelmed trying to change everything at once, because by any measure you're better off doing a little than nothing at all
EU results
Well, I hear that SNP will take quite a few. Although I also hear that there might be a general election on the horizon, too.
It's all up in the air, really.
EU elections summary
So, as expected, we are heading towards a nazi disaster. Not that I'm totally suprised.
re: uk/eupol
@colon_three That's nothing new, sadly.
Although my reasons for thinking that is..a little closer to home.
(CF terrible road ettiquete)
EUPol
The centerists seem to have lost MEPs, no suprise, considering the A1113 mess.
