Half of them aren’t in China though. It’s dropshippers, so you still get your cheap death traps, but you get them in a few days, Amazon get their enormous cut, and they get to take no responsibility when it burns your house down.

Or the funders get bored of waiting after ten years of “no Mars yet” and cancel the project, leaving you with a half finished rocket.

Unironically yes.

And what good did it do for cigarettes? It’s not like you’re going to look at the pack and go “oh shit, it’s bad for me?”

Everyone I know who gave up smoking recently, did so purely for cost reasons and took up vaping instead.

I’m sick of being told what I should and shouldn’t be eating tbh.

Seen plenty of scares over the years about fats, saturated fats, eggs, sugars, carbs, glutens, red meat, meat… Now Ultra Processed Food.

At this point, it’s just food. If you’re too fat eat less of it. If it’s actually dangerous don’t sell it.

I guess whether it’s worth it depends on whether you hate writing code or reading code the most.

Half Life 2 and it’s episodes are always on a massive sale in a Valve bundle.

There’s a lot of stuff there you won’t play, but it’s a must have for the Half Life and Portal series.

Also Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom 2016 are great.

Shit, most of Amazon is that as well.

And the product thumbnails that all look like sex toys.

Yeah, it’s the reason I cancelled Amazon the day they announced that, while Netflix shambles on.

If they haven’t been doing so for at least a decade, I’m sure their shareholders will want to know why not.

A lot of people give Americans shit for this, but many parents are doing their part to reduce the percentage of children dying to firearms.

By not getting them vaccinated so they die of entirely preventable diseases instead.

Hey, I’ve seen this one!

Hey, don’t you know it’s antisemitic to compare this genocide to that one!

If they gave a fuck about sustainability they wouldn’t be hosting the Olympics in Paris in the middle of summer.

You’d think so, but who do you think pays huge sums of money every year to be allowed to sell death traps to the public?

Watch them arrest him the second he lands.

Some automatic conversion is fine.

a=3+0.2

print(“Hello {name}. You are {age} years old”)

That kind of thing. But the principle of least surprise definitely applies. If you get to the point where you’re adding two booleans and a string, I feel like the language should at least say something. At least until the technology exists for it to physically reach out of your screen and slap you.

You could make a Trumpist poster saying “Joe Biden will force EVERY American home to install GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS! Only Trump can stop him!” and it’ll be round the world of hateful Facebook grandparents in about 20 minutes.

But of course. If artists want to fight for their rights, they better get their own lawyers.
