The problem isn’t what the content was, the problem is letting a payment processor dictate what is and is not acceptable even when legal

Today it’s “rape content” tomorrow, it’s vanilla porn, then the day after it’s LGBTQ+ affirmative content

People are doing that too, there was just an article posted a bit ago talking about that.

Causing multi hour waits with the goal of hurting them by delaying actual customers getting help

Wut? I can’t (and will not ever even if I could) post to .ml, this was crossposted from .ml

I just view it as a pointless 50 year old squabble, it’s current name is SQL to me so S-Q-L it is, ig I didn’t have “old timers” to corrupt me during the formative years of my career though so maybe that’s why.

Regardless, my real beef in this is if someone makes hiring/firing/promotion decisions based on that. Like a fun office debate about it, cool, it’s whatever. Choosing not to hire or promote someone over something so petty is asinine IMO

It isn’t pronounceable as a word, it is an initialism because the letters that compromise it do not allow it to be pronounced as a word. Unlike something like NASA which is a full blown acronym because it can be pronounced

Do you say hetips for HTTPS?

The sequel thing didn’t even start naturally, it picked up this sequel moniker because of some ancient trademark beef in the 70s between the original devs when it was named “Sequel” and some company (That isn’t even in business anymore)

They renamed it SQL and out of protest against the company people continued to call it sequel even though it makes no sense and 50 damn years later here we are. Everybody involved with direct involvement is probably dead or longggg since retired. It wasn’t termed because it was easier to say and it sure as hell wasn’t termed because its proper.

If it was originally called SQL and the above never happened, I guarantee it would just be another DNS or HTTP and many many pointless debates about it would have never happened

Disclaimer, this doesn’t apply to the MS product that is called sequel

forget PostgreSQL’s existence until data corruption.

Oh, so about 2 hours then LMAO

Yup, and it’s S-Q-L not sequel (🤢)

Juul devices are re-usable but the pods aren’t which still create a ton of plastic waste.

Juuls/pod systems/“disposable” ones are, but there are plenty of options that are fully rebuild-able. RTA/RDA on a classic mod for example.

Idk why so many abandoned the classic mods, they are so much cooler, I had one with Bluetooth and LEDs back in the day LMAO.

Ig that “just works” aspect of the pods was as addictive as the nicotine :/

step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol

Same with getting a place to live. It was quite a shock when I learned you had to fucking interview to rent an apartment, and may not be approved even if you have the money.

Wait what? I’ve never heard of such a thing in any of the places I’ve lived. BS like needing 3x the rent or 1st, 2nd and last months rent + deposit yea

But needing to interview‽ That’s a new one LMAO

Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it’s just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) “oversight”.

Funny how their “oversights” just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism

I…I need the template for that meme :o

is like ‘burning the Library of Congress’

Don’t fucking give them any ideas

Well at least it’s “just” software issues, software can always be fixed, but hardware issues are usually only fixable by needing to buy a new version lol
