  • Honestly it seems like the actual amount of pedophiles available to murder massively outstrips the demand of pedophiles to murder, and the end result is that people just expand the definition to the point where it’s becoming meaningless.

    Over the past few years, I’ve seen pedophilia used in the following contexts. The list gets more ridiculous as you go down:

    • Middle aged men “dating” adult teenage sex workers
    • Middle aged men “dating” adult sex workers in their early 20s
    • 18 year olds meeting up with 15 year olds they met online
    • A 17 year old discord mod talking with a 14 year old how they’re attracted to each other, but the age difference might make it unethical
    • 18 year olds dating 16 year olds
    • Drag Queens having story hours at the library
    • Men in their early thirties dating women in their early 20s.
    • Men in their mid thirties dating women in their mid to late twenties
    • Queer people in general

    It feels like this “kill a pedo” routine is just gonna be used by people to go after regular people by assholes looking for blood.



  • I feel like this is directed towards ICE vs EV cars. If that’s the case, it’s sort of frustrating.

    EVs have some very real drawbacks. Even if those drawbacks are solvable problems, they are still problems right now. Pushing this narrative that EVs are universally better or that the biggest hurdle to adoption is irrational consumer sentiment will just make people feel gaslit. It’ll also make people more hesitant to adopt later on, because they’ll be skeptical of positive reviews that are honest.



  • So, as it’s been stated, Wayland is still not universally better than X. There are still bugs in places. Gaming is still an issue. Kwin’s implementation still isn’t complete enough to be reliably introduced as the default.

    This is after years and years of work. Yes, making an entirely new display protocol is hard. However Wayland was introduced as the “eventual X replacement” when I was in high school. I’m 30 now. I’ve heard some variation of “Wayland is almost ready” since my senior year of college.

    At some point it becomes exhausting. At this point when someone says something along the lines of “in a year or two, Wayland will reach a point where X.org will be a thing of the past” my immediate reaction is to call bullshit.


  • I’m surprised Sundar isn’t on the hot seat at this point.

    People are gonna be like “oh well he presided over X revenue growth and that’s all investors care about”. Investors also care about future returns.

    Under Sundar, Google has more or less completely failed to diversify. They’ve had the advantage on several products, only for them to dick around while their competitors established (or re-established) dominance. The areas where they have market dominance went from “we have the far superior product” to “this Lowkey sucks, but I can’t think of anything better”.

    As far as I’m concerned Sundar is Google’s Sculley. Google will go for a long time under its own momentum, but eventually the wheels will come off.

    Meanwhile Nadella is getting paid a quarter as much.
