But when "real estate investors" buy up all available properties and raise the prices that's just sacred free market competition, right?

Almost like in a totally free market your right to collect profit is balanced by my right to find ways to not spend my money 🤔

If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)

OM now works with the screen off and I'll be making the voice instructions better than OsmAnd very shortly just fyi

I absolutely hate this situation and I was going to write a whole thing about how we wouldn't do the same thing if an upstanding husband and father was convicted of murder, except oh yes people literally actually do do the same thing. You'll literally have letters written like "he made a mistake but he has kids at home please go easy on him" as if actual murder isn't a pretty big disqualifier.

I guess we humans have a blind spot to the most common sins versus the mythical perfect criminal who spits on babies and hails satan...

That photo is from a film about neanderthals. The phrase "unga bunga" has its earliest known usage in a Bugs Bunny short mocking Aborigines, but it's a generic enough phrase that I'm not sure you can write off the entire phrase as racist against Aborigines: any nonsense word could be used in its place and I'm not sure anyone creating or sharing the meme has actually watched that Bugs Bunny clip from 1950. It's just a nonsense phrase used to indicate low intelligence or nonsense. Given that the photo is of a neanderthal, I think anyone seeing the meme will understand that it's supposed to mean "a caveman would be confused by this" and not about any particular group of modern or indigenous humans. Most usages of the meme imply that the poster themselves is the confused one, so I don't think a racist would find it very funny to post something like that.

Given that the words "unga" and "bunga" have existed in print since at least 1700 AD, I'm not sure we can point to that one Bugs cartoon as the definitive and only definition of that particular nonsense phrase. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=unga%2C+bunga&year_start=1500&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

Apologists always want to go back to who really threw the first stone, as if Russia has been a great world citizen this whole time and as if imperialist invasion was a great way to reduce sanctions or increase economic cooperation

No, Linux and Mac can open ZIP as easily as anything besides TGZ.

They also let you just fill in whatever for height and weight, I'm surprised they even care about gender and age

And that's not really "de" it's just stopping where you're comfortable at. Which is exactly what everyone should be doing anyway. "De" implies feeling like you completely made a mistake and want to undo what was done, simply stopping hormones doesn't necessarily accomplish that and non-binary is a totally valid identity

Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, said in a statement that Gendron “was motivated to commit his heinous crime by racist, antisemitic, and white supremacist propaganda fed to him by social media companies.”

“These posts led him down a rabbit hole of increasingly radical sites, where he was indoctrinated in white supremacist replacement theory and violent accelerationism,” Bergman added. “This horrible crime was neither an accident nor coincidence, but rather the foreseeable result of social media companies’ intentional decision to maximize user engagement over public safety.”

One transgender woman, Sheena, left Florida to move to Minnesota. Florida has recently passed extremely harsh legislation targeting the transgender community, and Sheena cited this legislation in her decision to move with her partner, stating that she “had to leave Florida within one month [of the transgender medical ban on adults] to avoid having my care halted.”
