  • I think that taking a hard-line “policy” on something is inherently stupid. Everything has nuance, and having very strong, rigid opinions about the hot-button issues of the day doesn’t make you smarter or better than those that are more apathetic.

    I’m generally pro-choice, but I fully understand why many people have issues with abortions and I don’t really blame them for wanting to outlaw the practice. I’m in favor of SOME increased gun control, but I also think that people are wayyyy too obsessed with guns in general. There are other things that kill a lot more people than guns but nobody’s freaking out about those. So honestly I think there isn’t much to be gained here by trying to make guns harder to buy, or taking people’s guns away, or whatever.












  • I don’t get it, what’s to appreciate here? They bought a thousand plastic drones from China with a thousand disposable lithium ion batteries that are bad for the environment, and had them shipped over on a cargo megaship that spews smog into the atmosphere. They’re utilizing a bunch of things that have fucked the environment to do a little light show to “raise awareness” over a city that is already full of people that don’t need to be convinced that climate change is a problem.




  • I like shitting on Facebook but this is a stupid article.

    Meta is literally resorting to giving them away for free: Attendees of this year’s developer conference for the global gaming platform Roblox each got a free Meta Quest Pro. While it’s unclear how many people attended the event, it’s a clear indication that the device isn’t exactly flying off the shelves.

    So they gave some away at a dev conference. But we don’t know how many, and we also don’t know if the Roblox conference paid for those devices or if Meta really gave them away for free. Clickbait bullshit.
