None of it matters.

Conservatives just make shit up to justify whatever they want next.

There is oxygen on Mars.

Not much. But it’s there.

Fuck software patents.

Copyright made sense when it was a decade or two. Industrial patents seem basically functional. Trademark’s mostly truth-in-advertising for consumer choice.

But software patents aren’t about how you do something - they’re claiming the entire concept, in the broadest possible terms, and killing it. Straight-up murdering that potential. It is denied the necessary iterative competition that turns dogshit first implementations into must-have features. Nobody’s gonna care in twenty years.

Entire hardware form-factors have come and gone in a single decade. Can you imagine if swipe keyboards were still single-vendor, and still worked like in 2009? Or maybe Apple bought them, and endlessly bragged about how Android can’t do [blank], because fifty thousand dollars changed hands in the 3G era.

How many games would not exist, if Nintendo had decided they own sidescrollers? A whole genre, wiped out, because a piece of paper says those mechanics are theft.

Great concept, B- execution. It’s just a little too frenetic. Which is saying something, for a fake 90s commercial. Some of those cuts are halfway to a Max0r video.

Fear and cowardice.

The point was preventing a recommended fix by lying about price and capacity. In that case, it was about cars, but it’s the same snake-oil act to stop the state from spending money to solve a problem.

Limp headline about serial fraud going ‘nuh uh.’

Didn’t the fucker outright admit he scammed California about this exact thing?

Great, arrest him.

Again.

Every country on Earth decided to turn the same kind of stupid.

Could you guys hop next door and launch Rupert Murdoch into the sun?

He couldn’t have. That was kinda the problem?

This poor fucking guy.

Maybe they should visit a hospital Israel bombed.

Mods included, now.

Fifteen people are mad they have the reputation they’ve proudly demonstrated.

Indoctrination is when other people do it.

Those damn other people! People with ideologies, and ethnicities, and accents. Not like you. You’re normal.

Some people are never worth the time. Block and breathe easy.

State news apparatus of one of the belligerents blames leader of the country they invaded for “rejecting peace.”

From a negotiation that country wasn’t invited to.

Remember when Elon claimed to be a libertarian before literally joining the establishment Republicans? Libertarianism isn’t real. “Libertarians” bend the knee to conservatives and fascists so quickly it doesn’t matter what the ideology supposedly says.

Start arresting people.

Apply consequences.
