While we're sharing our boundaries, I don't want to hear comparisons between the relative basketball skills of myself and Nikola Jokic. Thank you.

On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

Yes there are some ridiculous mod actions here, I just said that portraying them as being more sympathetic to murder than misogyny is specious.

If I was a woman I could see how online misogyny would affect me in a real way, being unable to participate in and feel welcome in communities day to day.

An anonymous flame war death threat does not actually materially affect someone, unless there's some reason to think it's serious, the odds of which are negligible.

No one's saying actual murder is less bad than misogyny, for fucks sake.

I don't know why because I've never done it before today, but as I was about to post that I imagined someone taking it seriously and I was not in the mood to deal with that today so I cut it off proactively. And I've never liked /s.

To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one's blameless in the censorship game.

(Please don't make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)

Yeah I use foobar and it works fine, but it still sucks and still affects us that the culture is streaming based. It's better when your habits aren't niche and you're not always fighting against the norm.

Before you comment I'm begging you to take the parent comment in the general spirit of digital "ownership" having taken over the culture and not point out that Winamp technically still exists.

We gave up Winamp for this.

I'm boycotting because the new chicken is a gross honey thing instead of last year's Al Pastor which I liked. If I wanted chicken drowned in sugar sauce I'd go to Panda Express.

It takes principle and courage to enrich the Nazi site for only two and a half years and not a day longer.
