I can't remember the exact quote but it's something along the lines of the path to hell is lined with people who stayed and tried to do a good thing in a bad world.

Sometimes all you can do is quit.

I remember the iPhone keyboard being an embedded part of the OS so you couldn't swap it out for a better one. But what exactly is bad about it?

The other day I went shopping with my parents and my mother proceeded to pull out a whole lot of coupons. Clearly they are not long for this world.

Although I will give her credit, they were all actually in date

You think he's starting to worry about his own future?

Every time I ever hear about him he seems to be doing more and more brain dead things. I'm coming to the realisation that he's just really goddamn dumb.

Ok so I can't read the actual whole article because apparently it's paywalled but from the bit I was allowed to read (and the writing style seems to pad out quite a bit so it never actually gets really to the point) seems to indicate that they are just trying to hit targets which is why they're not checking people.

The army actually puts the effort into make sure they don't hire psychos. You want people who will follow orders and not just go off and do their own thing because they like power.

Closing twitter down would not stop people who want it from using GenAI to make images.

I feel like you didn't read my previous comment. That is not an excuse. The problem is that they are hosting the content quite happily without doing anything about it.

I'm confused what this was supposed to achieve.

Given the fact that all of the people with terrible taste seem to also be terrible people I'm inclined to think that it's probably more an emergent property of the philosophy.

I have to wonder who decided that large breasts are supposed to be attractive. Like when did we have that conversation?

It's not like people are out there having enlarged shoulders. So it's not just the bigger is better.

I'm convinced that plastic surgeons just told these women that men find unrealistically large breasts more attractive simply because breast enlargement is an easy thing to do and it's a quick win for them.

At least half of those are definitely terminators in rubber skin suits. They're clearly not human.

There are more attractive prehistoric bug mummies.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
