Well when you give a shit about the environment and then you hear about people doing something incredibly wasteful it winds you up, you know?

Lots of people taking you up on your username 24 hours a day, eh?

Are they children who don’t pay the electricity bill, selfish energy wasters, or just idiots?

Family Guy, if it was Simpsons they’d be yellow instead of white/pink

Err, yeah, the point of beans on toast is that it’s the simplest, most basic hot comfort food you can just throw together

Interesting, solicitors are mandatory in the UK, making estate agents even more pointless

Assuming this is in the US? Do you not have solicitors who do all the actual legal paperwork?

so scr*w you

Come on now

trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist

Can you explain to us old farts what this actually means? Like I thought I knew what all the individual words mean but aren’t non-binary and girl mutually exclusive? And isn’t trans implied by enby anyway?

I’d guess the shitty comments are from people dismissing this as a pile of buzzwords, hopefully if they can understand better then they’ll be less shitty :)

A classic prank

I didn’t twig who was in the picture and assumed there was a policeman waiting on the other side of the “keep door closed” sign just waiting to arrest anyone who opened it

The moustache says wisdom, the eyes say googly

Are you referring to any news stories in particular? Because the only big one I recall recently was the xz backdoor which took three years of social engineering to get in and was detected and patched within a couple of weeks!

Are you new here? “Threadiverse” has been used to refer to thread-based fediverse technologies that use threaded comments since before Zuck’s “threads” was even announced!

it’s easy to be communist of you only touched it online

This is almost certainly the case, these kids read about the ideals of communism and think it sounds great, and they know about how things are in the USA and think that’s bad. Two fair assessments, but they then deduce that the because capitalist America is bad, then Soviet Russia “communist” China must be good, ignoring the fact that every person who survived/escaped those reigemes described them as hell.

Not sure why anyone would be interested in yet-another corporate-controlled platform

Copying my own reply to a similar question the other day: Most users don’t give a shit about the tech or politics, they just want to go where the people they are interested in are, and most of them don’t care either! Bluesky is actively promoting itself as the new old Twitter, so that’s where people who want that are going.
