Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.

How?

I read the article but I don't understand how bots making and listening to songs to generate royalties for the bot owners affects anyone but the royalty-payers?

Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: "The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me."

You're a troll though. It's easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.

I'm gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.

Defederating from threads seems like the best way to make it nice. That way there's less influence from psychopathic billionaires who happily stoke genocide for clicks.

More like hurricane Charlie.

This is a story of one bootlicking employee who was in desperate need of fucking off and minding his own business:

However, just as the movie started, an employee told them to put their snack bags away, the report said. They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

A few minutes later, one of the children popped a Skittle he was already holding into his mouth, and quite frankly, all hell broke loose, the women said. The employee started shouting at them, and said that the police would be called unless they left. This is when the children started crying.

“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’

Oh, that's it? Thank you! I never would've gotten this. I think it was the whole of sponge bob used as a metaphor for a single body part that was throwing me off.

I'll wear whatever you like 😘

Last week for me.
