The fascists run the table either way. The only thing they let us do is pick whether they wear red or blue.
Queer anarchist, avid sci-fi and fantasy fan, and enjoyer of locally run generative AI. Always looking forward to learning new things. Death to the United States, and death to Israel! The only good zionist is a dead zionist.

That much? Wow how generous of the corporate overlords.


uBlock has all the same functions as NoScript, if you enable the advanced user mode.


It is pretty embarrassing to use Facebook in this day and age. My daughter is a teenager and doesn’t even have an account, says Facebook “is for old people”.


the problem is, corporations like Google or Apple, depending on which mobile phone you use, already know everything about you. they know your age, your preferred gender identity, and where you live. that alone is enough for them to make very good guesses at the kinds of things you would be interested in. but the information they have on you goes much further than that.
trying to poison the well just through a single browser extension doesn’t do anything to change the data they have on you. especially since you can’t poison all the data they’re collecting on you. that extension might not even work on mobile, and even if it does, most of the information they collect doesn’t come through your browsing habits, it comes from the things you do in the apps you use.


it sounds great, sure. but it’s entirely pointless. at best you’re wasting fractions of a penny of the advertisers money. you’re not “poisoning” your data. if you click on every ad they show you, it becomes obvious what you’re attempting and they just start showing you generic ads based on your gender and demographic.
many of these advertisers brag about having thousands of data points on every person. they won’t be fooled by tricks like these.


with the amount of information they collect on their customers, it better be damn good. honestly, the only reason it’s not a huge privacy problem is because they zealously guard that data to protect their near monopoly on PC gaming.
Gabe has been pandering to gamers and mostly giving us what we want, but when he dies, we better hope the next dude in charge isn’t some corporate suit that only cares about maximizing profits in every way that they can, or the enshitification of Steam is going to really fucking hurt. imagine if Valve was run like Microsoft. for example, the next guy might cut a deal with Microsoft to stop supporting Proton.


A whole nation of genocidal maniacs. Just as racist and murderous as the Nazis.


I think Americans would elect a woman, if it was someone like AOC. harris lost because the voters want progressive candidates, and the democrats refuse to do anything that jeopardizes their fundraising via special interests. they just don’t really care about winning elections, because they can still make bank when they lose as long as they stick to their donors.


idk, but later they posit the minimum size of the spin station should be no less than 25m radius to achieve gravity without making the astronauts have to deal with motion sickness.


Stop putting words in my mouth dummy.
I quoted you.

At body motions or centrifuge rotation rates that are small in magnitude, the effects of the Coriolis force are negligible, as on Earth. However, in a centrifuge rotating at several rpm, there can be disconcerting effects. Simple movements become complex and eye-head movements can be altered: turning the head can make stationary objects appear to rotate and continue to move once the head has stopped. This is because Coriolis forces also create cross-coupled angular accelerations in the semicircular canals of the inner ear (see Figure 4-01) when the head is turned out of the plane of rotation. Consequently, motion sickness can result even at low rotation rates (<3 rpm), although people can eventually adapt to higher rates after incremented, prolonged exposure (see Chapter 3, Section 3.1).


You said force of rotation but the chart is talking about RPM.
yes, you have forgotten to take into account the Coriolis force and the effect it would have on your astronauts.

in other words, the higher the RPM needed to generate 1g, the worse the effect of the Coriolis force on the astronauts.


Why? It’s still just 1G.



no, but the force of the rotation squeezing most of your blood into your head or feet might be a problem for you


That’s called self defense. And if you weren’t some hand-wringing liberal lickspittle, maybe you would have the backbone to stand up against fascists as well.
But you don’t, so you’ll die a nobody, just another in the long line of bootlicking centrists who followed orders and marched themselves into the noose the fascists eventually put around your neck. And as you’re about to die, your last thought will be a plaintive cry for a leftist is to come and save you.


Might as well add AN to that. We absolutely adore a good call to violence against fascists and zionists. Remember kids, the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, the US is a terrorist state, and Israel has no right to exist.


Some people only make the world better by leaving it. We just think we should help them along.

AIPAC gives them millions every year, that’s a lot of money they don’t want to miss out on. They don’t give a shit about the genocide, beyond what it’s doing to the votes they need to keep receiving that money.
Why would every journalist focus on the Epstein files? You do know there are other things going on in the world, right? And since the Democrats don’t intend on holding anyone in the files accountable anyway, even if they retake Congress, what exactly are you hoping a journalist is going to accomplish?
