It's ok. Let the Musk-riders enjoyed their ride ...

Elon bought them an imaginary horse ...

What a bunch of wankers ...

Timely reminder to back every fucking thing up.

Trust none of these valley assholes to do the right thing.

Just make sure YOU do the right thing.

Jesus ... I feel a Bill Hicks sketch coming on ...

Bullshit argument. If people care about shit, they might not eliminate everything, they do what they reasonably can.

Do what you can, if you can, how you can, when you can.

Not, ohhhh, "If you drink water, you're still using MS servers, I'm very intelligent".

I thought that meme was well understood by now.

True, but I genuinely think we lost something over the years. This all might be a feeling that we lost what was, and that we know we can do it again, but it's impossible to replicate what we had (format and, more importantly, the users).

It might not be a platform issue, but a "corporate X decide to scrap forum Y", and it never was the same again.

I've seen this a few times, and it basically blew up incredibly tight and excellent groups.

I submit that the human brain isn't equipped to handle control of multi-hundreds of billions of dollars cap and the working lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals. Particularly if you're morally suspect to begin with.

This is just one of countless obvious examples.

Digital preppers ...

Starting to sound logical right about now ...

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

USA RIP.

Hey USA ... your administration has lost its freaking mind ... literal 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' territory ...

I hope you survive this.

RIP.

Who said the UK is going to ban VPN?

Genuine question. That's news to me and I'm here.

WTF? .. yuck

Well, it's been 5 years ... time to switch out my Roku for something better ...

One of the great things about Roku is it's minimal expense ... which means I won't think twice to swap out for anything else.

I just would like to say a respectful and courteous "thank you" to Japan.

Thank you taking this "ex-pat" off our hands.

Cheers.

You are very intelligent......

To be clear, the job of the ordinary citizen in this situation is not to opt out. I criticise China often and yet my phone has Chinese chips. Would you have me shut up about China?. And so it is with Israel.

The job of the ordinary citizen is to do what they reasonably can to protest the gen0cidal, N'azi behaviour of its current administration with the support of a significant percentage of its populous.

Given how the troubles have turned a significant number of the population into blood-thirsty land thieves, the country should be de-N'azified like they did to Germany after WW2.

You're welcome.

I didn't downvote you. You're Jewish (I stand side by side with Jewish brothers and sisters against Israel), you've expressed disagreements with the Israeli government. We're likely on a similar page then.

However:

There are plenty of good things though - startups in the biotech/health/classic "tech" space.

Besides the point. I truly won't touch anything from that Apartheid, gen0cideal state.

c.f. the boycott of South Africa during Apartheid. Same principle.

.ph has been down (for me) the last few weeks ... but is up today.

.md is a good alt (for me)

Good point. Thank you.

Excellent.

Although, while I enjoy watching them lose. I don't appreciate the waste of time.

10T isn't cool... You know what's cool?

Don't be ridiculous.

Same energy ... intensely successful at low quality produce.

Yes, I bet the Senegalese are loving it ...

Face it, the Trump World Cup is going to be a shit show ... appropriate for what they've done to the US ... turned it into, and I quote the orange dildo himself, a shit hole.

Yeah, fck that piece of sh ... this particular World Cup has about the same amount of value to me as the FIFA Peace Prize.

Remember? ... Memories have a price. Nothing's changing any time soon while the elected represent money, and paid-for interests.

Of the dollar, by the dollar, for the dollar ...

Or they don't have a job opening at all and are just looking to bolster the database.

I remember the annual cycle back in the day. During quieter times of the year, I'd suddenly get a tonne of calls from various recruiters with a job (no company name) ... almost as if they'd been told, "ok, no one's hiring or placing right now, no point you sitting there on your arse while I pay you. So pick up the phone and get some qualified leads"

Nicely put.

Literally adjusting my pension funds and ETA's away from this ... I don't even care if I lose out. I want stable growth. Not a nation obsessed with memestocks.

Excellent. Praying for more.

Please, please, someone tell me the Tesla bellend has not been in touch this time.

Good for Denmark.

Yeah, for all the technical excellence by Shotwell and the team ... I don't want my ETF's and pensions buying into that piece of shit CEO and his corrupt 'at a whim' entity manipulation.

Sorry, fuck SpaceX

Completely understandable.

It's like when your favourite restaurant gets taken over by new management, and you discover cockroaches and maggots in your Trenette al Pesto

You switch restaurants.

I hear the sound of a V6 engine at San Cataldo Cemetery ... the sound of Enzo spinning in his grave ...
