While I’m firmly in the “The Ataris’ cover was better than Henley’s version” camp, and I get the punk/Black Flag connection for this particular comparison, I feel that in general the original gets the point across better. I think more people would have gotten the dissonance of a Caddy driver with a Grateful Dead sticker when the original was recorded, versus the cover.

You know that line from Don Henley’s song Boys of Summer that went:

Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

That’s this guy.

That’s because the OG visionaries of tech are gone, and have been replaced by MBAs and techbros.

I’m not sure if Firefox pulls passwords when you import your data, but you can manually export passwords from Chrome and import them into Firefox.

We need to add a fourth E:

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify.

Look bud, we only control the weather, not “near-earth objects”!

I mean, if you could control the weather, why not make a Mar-a-Lago sized hurricane?

She seems the type to think all the lanes belong to her and fuck you, get out of her way!

Which is exactly why he’s accusing Biden and Democratic North Carolina governor Roy Cooper of doing.

I was under the impression that anything under like 10nm was just marketing and doesn’t actually refer to transistor density in any meaningful way?

Because you wanted to learn about it, so you did.

Donald Trump doesn’t want to learn about anything that doesn’t affect him personally, so he won’t put in the effort to educate himself. Also his narcissism won’t let him believe that there’s anything he isn’t already the most knowledgeable person about.

Why Trump Is Lying About Disaster Relief

Because he can’t not.

She’s a hard-core porn star. What hasn’t she shown?

Look, if all those cultures didn’t want the British to safeguard their stuff, they shouldn’t have let themselves be invaded by a technologically superior colonizer who drained them of their resources and enslaved their populations for the glory of a metal hat worn by inbred tea-drinking assholes.

It’s all their fault, really.

And this is exactly how we know they’re lying when they say “Abortion should be left up to the states!”

Also they are fine with dead children; it’s dead fetuses they can’t stand.

You know why so many conservatives are rapists and plague rats?

Because in either case, they don’t care about the consent of the other people involved.

You want to give yourself smallpox or polio? Fucking go for it, bud. Nobody here is gonna stop you. But what you don’t have the right to is participate in activities where you could endanger other people.

So by all means, give yourself tuberculosis. Just stay the fuck away from civilized society when you do.

where does it realistically end

Somewhere at the bottom of that slippery slope, I imagine.

There’s always going to be a threshold where things that previously weren’t problems, become problems. Imagine trying to argue that DUI laws shouldn’t exist because when you have had one beer you’re fine, but once you’ve had 20 beers now the police have a problem with it. How many beers is too many? We don’t know since that’s different for everyone- but we all agree at some point, it’s too many.

You yourself pointed this out: when such weapons weren’t easily available, they weren’t really a problem. Now that they are easily available, they’re a problem.

Golfing? Working.

Shitposting on Twitter? Working.

Doing rails of ketamine? Working

Given his legendary reputation for stiffing contractors, it’s amazing anyone does any business at all with him without getting paid cash up-front.
