    I’d love to see a bike trying to ride down a busy fucking road and not get its ass ran over. Maybe your little suburban hillbilly elitist streets have people pedaling down at a scant fraction of the speed of real cars, but that shit doesn’t fly anywhere else.

    Enables people with mobility issues

    Allows people to move about farther than just a few miles or so

    Allows people to transport a lot of goods (and/or heavy goods) easily

    Doesn’t make you exhausted if you have to go up hills

    AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER

    Fuck your walkable/bike nightmare “utopia”.




  • liberals

    You wanna stop being an ass while literal fascists are destroying this nation?

    Talk about doing nothing. Your skewed idea is to blame THA LIBURALS for at least trying to fix things while you probably threw your vote away on some shit candidate or by not voting.

    Isn’t it about time to accept that your idealism is fucked right now and what gets us out of this is working together to actually do something other than parade around your idealism while shit burns to the ground?






  • It’s laughable that universities host sports teams, especially with handegg where they’re essentially the NFL’s farm league. Shows how much (zero) we give a shit about actual education in this fucking country. 99.9999% of college “education” is just like grade school education anyway: spending way too much time on irrelevant subjects (teach the whole curriculum in elementary school, but past that, teach what the student needs to know for his field of study and that’s it), and sadly, having most of it be bullshit rote memorization that the student spits out for the test and then forgets it forever. Engage the student, have him learn things intuitively, give examinations that allow for the full range of what we can do as adults (reference materials, internet, other people, etc – THIS IS NOT CHEATING, THIS IS USING KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE!) that actually shows what the person is capable of and whether or not they can apply what they learned and what they find out on their own.

    No wonder we’re so fucked as a society.



  • Too late to change the system now if you play the voting game. Elect Biden and the rest of the Democrats who will NOT turn the USA into a fascist state in the next four years, THEN start enacting real change to put a genuine Left candidate in that will actually push this country forward when they’re elected in four years.

    If you want to play the voting game, that’s how you play. The only other alternative is revolution and enable the “alter or abolish” option right the fuck now.

    Make your choice of those two things. The “lol, I won’t vote” or “gonna vote Trump anyway” “option” is just alt-right Trumpery disguised as being concerned about a second Biden presidency for any reason.



  • Star Wars (no, it wasn’t “EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE”), Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi were the only good SW movies. The rest are embarrassingly bad fanfiction. Just because people laugh at the prequel memes doesn’t make the prequels good. We as a society fell when we started laughing at all the horrible parts of the prequels and then asked ourselves “wait, if we’re being entertained by the prequels, does that mean they were good?” and coming to the absolute wrong conclusion.




  • Working in computing for years and this is what I’ve heard

    2000: IPv4 is about to dry up, we really need to start moving to v6!

    2005: OH NO THE SKY IS FALLING IPv4 IS ALMOST GONE! IPv6 IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO OR THE INTERNET WILL DIE!

    2010: WE’RE SERIOUS THIS TIME IPv6 NEEDS TO BE A THING RIGHT NOW! HELP!

    2015: Yeah, okay, NAT has served us well so far, but we can only take it so far, we really need v6 to be the standard in the next 5-10 years or we’re in trouble!

    2020: Um… guys? IPv6? Hello? Anyone? crickets

    2024: IPv6ers are now the vegans of networking

    this may or may not be satire, just laugh if unsure
