Elon Musk’s X just sued a nonprofit advertising group out of existence
  • Ok, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn't directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.

    My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn't substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that's good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.

  • John Dies at the End (2012)
  • It was published several times before he got his job at cracked.com. First it was a collection of stories he wrote for Halloween over several years on his blog pointlesswasteoftime.com, then he self-published, then it was published by Permuted Press (a small horror publisher), and finally Thomas Dunne.

  • Washington man arrested after fatally shooting teen who had BB gun
  • I agree, but for clarification it was a different teen whom he shot, who still had his BB gun.

    There were 3 teens, two with BB guns. The first dropped his and was on the ground, straddled by Shooter McFuckhead when the second, still standing, was shot.

    Thank god there was a "good guy with a gun" there. Otherwise nobody would have died!

  • Idaho judge issues new arrest warrant for far-right activist Ammon Bundy
  • This is not (yet) comeuppance. That will come when he actually spends time in prison. This is just more of the same legal processes that promise comeuppance but hasn't - so far - delivered any actual results.

  • Younger veterans feel uncomfortable when told thank you for service: Poll
  • For a few years now, I've replied with "Thank you for your support." However I think I may start adding something like "You should look up wounded warriors and make a donation, they're the ones that really need it." Or some other org for disabled vets.

  • More of them
  • Except there is much more "truth" in nonverbal communication. It's much easier to "lie" with words than it is with body language.

    Most people don't really even make an effort to control their presentation when communicating, except in the sense that they may try to control their emotions.
