As bluntly, and as often as possible to ensure the demarcation is obvious to all.
Hate to turn your putrid argument around on you, but this isn’t as trivial as the annoyance of needing a sarcasm flag to avoid Poe’s Law, even though the impact of vaping on adult members of society who do not use it is merely an annoyance which causes their knees to jerk.
And your facts are wrong: Tobacco smoke kills half a million people per year. The jury is out on whether or not vaping is quantifiably medically dangerous at all. There is absolutely no data on harm from 2nd hand vaping, so you cannot say (in good faith) that it’s causing harm.
Specifics matter in comparisons when the potential outcome is a total ban on a substance that has helped minimize harm for millions, and is mostly harmless in comparison.
In short - gnash your teeth elsewhere, you smug turd. You’re wrong.
Is that clear enough?
This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.
That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.
I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.
Edit: more mind bogglery!
The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
Yeah, that’s a lot of words when they could’ve just said “I don’t understand risk, harm reduction, any statistics relavent to the topic, or science.”
One is clearly worse, can be stopped, and isn’t bullshit.
The other is whiny bullshit, and your analogy sucks.
It’s about ease of enforcement. If you can’t enforce a law, it’s bullshit lip service.
And when the government can effectively prevent massive amounts of benzene from going into the air, they are more than welcome to work on the trace amounts of nicotine.
Are you saying “crassholes” or “assholes”
Bingo. Enshittification is mostly confined to companies that have gone public or whose sole aspiration is to do so quickly.
It shifts responsibility from satisfying customers/users to satisfying shareholders (who are never satisfied).
You can build the perfect product and ride a gravy train as a private company in relative perpetuity. As a corporation, you’re just going to strive for perpetually increasing profits on a quarterly basis with no real care or focus past that
$50 per year to change an icon.
Agreed. I would much rather see fewer posts than bot content. A human OP is going to engage in conversation, and is also likely able to provide more context on the topic of their OP.
I’ve taken to blocking obvious bots (extremely high post:comment ratio) to keep the same feel as the fediverse had since “rexit”.
[OT]
surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.
I apparently needed to see this today. Life has been winding me up lately and I have been impatient/quick to dismiss people as a result.
Thanks for snapping me out of it.
his father groomed his stepdaughter (Elon’s stepsister)
I looked it up. There’s tons of links, but this is the best source I could find.
Elon Musk’s father reveals he has had a second child with his own stepdaughter
It’s about the same as a mafia hitman screeching in court after a guilty verdict that he wants the written receipts, and murder weapons that were found in the garbage on the curb in front of his home (and used to convict him) back.
ThAt’S mY pRoPeRtY!
- Profit (yes, he will profit anyway 🤷)
When? Last I checked, he’s still down about 92 billion dollars.
Elmo’s Twitter fiasco is legitimately dumber than Trump running not one, but THREE casinos to bankruptcy.
Preface: I have no opinion. Have not installed, and will not install because I don’t need it.
If you have to ask, it’s probably worth investigating further.
The first thing I would do is search around for any mention of the app name and variants on the word “password”.
Never install anything that you don’t trust, and dissociate from your “real” email/identity for those that you aren’t sure about. Whoever owns the software potentially owns your credentials.
Nah, I’m fully aware of what FOSS is and does - but nothing in this entropic universe is permanent.
FOSS has gone private before (RedHat, etc) due to profit motive. I’m not sure I could resist several million dollars to keep it that way.
For the record, that’s an incredibly shitty argument.
“LOL GIT GUDER PC”
There’s a better solution for legacy hardware on windoze, and you don’t know what it is.
Just admit it, or STFU.
