What? Now you can’t even turn the country into an absolutist dictatorship anymore? I thought this was AMERICA! Political correctness gone overboard!

Any first-person-shooter is technically a point and click game.
Mention the concept of a daily stand-up pledge of allegiance in schools in any other democracy and get laughed at.
I bet astronauts are great at showering.
have you ever had a shower in under two minutes and washed your whole body?
Yes. My first thought was whether there may be a “best practice” way of showering efficiently and which professions may have suggestions on that (either jobs that are very time-constrained or jobs that are tight on resources?) and whether there were more effective ways of catching the water than a bucket (maybe some elaborate tarp placement? probably not feasible. the ultimate tarp placement would be one just around the body like one of the shields in star trek or star wars. maybe one of those bubble soccer balls upside down filled with water and one showerer? rolling down a hill in a plastic hamster ball full of water would be fun. also terrifying and basically dynamic waterboarding, but fun) and that was when the two minutes ended.
Are you limited to either having a thought or moving your body at any given time? I hope you don’t drive cars or perform other activities that require more than zero thoughts at once.
Depends. Can I still accuse them of raping and murdering?
If you spend a dozen centuries doing your best to minimise your personal CO2 footprint, you can reduce the global output by half a millionth of a percent that the biggest culprits produce on a daily basis. Then you can watch the world race into the abyss with a clear conscience :D
How they thought they’d get this past the EU is beyond me.
Bribes. Immense amounts of lobbying/bribes.
Who needs keylogger malware on their device when you can have a screenlogger, eh?
Hey, it looks like you’re not giving us all your personal data. That’s a mighty fine account ya got there. Be a shame if something were to … happen to it. About that personal data now…
That headline sounds like it only significantly affects the US. Are those fires school shooters?
(It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout six months ago.)
reddit:
Yes, turns out that insulting your customers when they complain because you took away all the good stuff in order to incentivise spending money via your very bad alternatives will piss off even the last few masochistic users still remaining on reddit, so you have to eat some crow and try to somehow monetize the last thing you took away instead.
A little bit of friendly advice a very wise person gave once:
Truthfully I think getting triggered by a stupid label on a pill bottle is kind of unnecessary. Just rip it off or write over it. Not a big deal. 100% of the people buying them are people so they put people on the label or something…big deal. Its just a vitamin for pregnant people! Its the same thing no matter what color the bottle or what gendered nonsense is written on it. Smh.
It must suck going around choosing to be triggered by something like that. It shouldn’t be that difficult to just be secure in your own indentity and stop letting the way the world works get under your skin. So maybe instead of finding even more cumbersome paraphrases like “pregnant individuals” just to be contrarian when “people” is just as accurate and shorter, be secure in your identity. Don’t let the way the world works get under your skin.
Games, social media sites, online shops, they are all working on building the psychologically optimised perfect maze for their prey.
They have all their bots creating first-class content. They don’t even need mods anymore. They don’t need humans anymore. They are basically a self-sufficient bot word factory and AI breeding ground. Like, if I ever felt the urge to rate babes with my masterful babe-rating skills or use my excellent human-judging skills to discern whether the repost-bot is the asshole in that regurgitated story, I’d go there in a heartbeat.
Player: “Are you sure that you are a real leprechaun?”
Chad Jibbity: “What, are you implying that I am merely a magically animated automaton stringing words together according to a complicated set of rules? Certainly not, I am a very real riddle leprechaun!”

It’s fine though, we already have the solution. Basically. I mean, I’ve marked it in my calendar, so we’re basically halfway there already. Now get off my back about all the CO2 pollution we get rich off.
At least you won’t have that particular problem again until you read about somebody who sneezed someone else’s intestines out of his body.
