@arh@toots.alirezahayati.com that's terrible. :(

where do you live?

the true measure of a company is how they treat you when you're closing your account.

reminder that whether biden's "huge", "massive", whatever $1.2T program lives or dies - the US military will spend $3.7T (3x more) during the four years of his term in ways that benefit no normal americans whatsoever

@EdwardTorvalds@mstdn.io also, you can't prove a negative, so of course there wouldn't be any evidence of his not-talent

@EdwardTorvalds@mstdn.io who said he's guilty? i just said there's no evidence he's talented or smart.

@EdwardTorvalds@mstdn.io he's definitely hardworking. no evidence to support either of the other two claims.

@thatbrickster i am a fan. i thought it was mostly stock footage but i think he shoots his own cheesy stock-looking video for his stuff, and he has a very interesting backstory and YEARS of different videos (he didn't always make these style videos). funny and smart and creative and educational; he's like what veritasium would be if veritasium were cool (and a doctor instead of a physics dork)

@laura there's nothing wrong with that view.

@courtney @aphyr you can't really have nice things in a society if money doesn't stay in the bank and and laptops don't stay in the apple store and watches don't stay in the jeweler's. insurance rates are based on risk; not preventing armed robbery means insurance quickly becomes economically infeasible.

@thatbrickster all of chubbyemu's videos have the same standard clickbait title format. that's his thing. he's got a number of tropes he does in every video and recurring memes, he's really funny.

it's astounding to me that the idiot meathead joe rogan has the audience that he does.

@courtney @aphyr i am pretty sure bank robbers with body armor and machine guns don't really care that much about community services. also, mass murderers intent on killing that ends in suicide. there is only one way to stop a mass murderer with a machine gun.

still pissed about South Dakota v. Wayfair

"don't tread on me... unless you are the HOA, then, yes, i guess i will take it down"
