Yes.

They’re even careful to say “traits of dire wolves” but sensationalism gonna be sensational.

The ad highlights Ossoff’s opposition to the so-called “Fair and Safe Athletic Opportunities Act,” a GOP-led bill that prohibits students from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity.

Can we start enforcing honest language in bill names, and show some fucking integrity?

This thing should be named the “State Mandated Sexual Assault Against Young Girls Act”.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Monday temporarily blocked a trial judge’s order directing the United States to return a Salvadoran migrant it had inadvertently deported.

Fuck you, Roberts.

What a whiney little snowflake Trump is. “Oh no my portrait is photorealistic and accurately depicts that I look like a clown”.

Green, the DA, said he felt deflection was a better path to treatment than the criminal system, which can be a slow process, and that the fact that only some people were succeeding was a good sign: “We didn’t make it] too easy or too hard. We really found that sweet spot.”

Oh fuck you. 70 or so people deflecting out of 1200 arrests is not success you pompous prick, it’s failure.

By finding him guilty but not punishing him, he will be made to feel guilty and the chance of him reoffending will be prevented, without socially impairing the man

What a load of horse shit. “Letting him get away with rape penalty free will ensure he doesn’t do it again” is some crazy fucking logic. Seems like knowing there are no consequences for your actions would make repeating the offense significantly more likely.

I’m having analysis paralysis over which celebrity I most want to tell to fuck off.

I got my Supernote manta today. After using it for a few hours the difference between remarkable and Supernote is more in focus for me: Supernote is a better physical experience, but the remarkable software is just leagues better.

E.g., Supernote gives you the bevels you can drag, the pen feels more natural, and the screen better replicates the look of paper, while the remarkable has a better general interface, and the handwriting recognition is insanely good.

Sometimes the Supernote will refuse to find handwritten text like it doesn’t exist, and using the handwriting keyboard is frustrating and clumsy, where the remarkable has never failed to correctly interpret my writing the first time.

Scrolling by at a glance I thought it said something else and I was ready to be very offended.

I don’t think I’d agree that the remarkable is less “for those who write” than the Supernote.

I switched from my Nomad to the Paper Pro simply because the Nomad was too small for the notes that I write and Supernote wasn’t selling something comparable.

I think they have different priorities maybe and supernotes business model is way better, but they’re both good for writing.

Overall it is a fantastic device, good enough that I use it despite hating their stupid subscription model. I take work notes in it all day long and it has proven to be excellent for that.

I also use it to read for a book club I run, and the PDF markup tools are pretty nice. Color highlights are cool and they will stick to the text of the pdf to be perfectly straight which makes me happy.

I have a Supernote Manta coming this week though which may replace it. The Supernote pen is just way better.

I returned my pen and kept just the reader after a week because the writing experience was overall terrible.

For context: I also own a Supernote Nomad and Remarkable Paper Pro. These devices both highlight how unacceptably bad the Kobo device is.

If you really want an ereader for comics the paper pro is a more appropriate form factor, though the warnings above about limited color range and saturation still apply.

The irony of choosing the most pedantic way of saying that they’re not pedantic is pretty amusing though.

The problem with being like… super pedantic about definitions, is that you often miss the forest for the trees.

Illegal or not, seems pretty obvious to me that people saying illegal in this thread and others probably mean “unethically”… which is pretty clearly true.

(God I hope the /s isn’t necessary)

I guess I don’t understand the mastodon/twitter style feed, I’ve always found that I couldn’t seem to get a feed interesting enough to come back to.

GOP: “We only want to deport the illegals, if they want to be here they should do it legally”

Immigrants: “ok, we’ll come on this program specifically designed to allow a legal pathway to citizenship”

GOP: “No not like that!”

No they’re Mennonite, I’m pretty sure they worship a zombie.

It’s totally legal because workers have surprisingly few rights in the US today. You can still find good companies that will treat you with dignity but it’s not because they’re required to.
