@_elena "When one of your posts goes big, you are inundated with comments by strangers..."

It's way worse than that. Some of them start following you.

@Infoseepage @graue @Gargron "...and the person doing the blocking is the one person who doesn't know about it."

Isn't that the purpose of blocking?

@jwz He said he was going to do exactly this on FoX News itself. I thought they were going to use SCOTUS and Congress to do it. I really had hope there for a second it wouldn't be the people voting for it.

This is exactly what we voted for. If he doesn't do this, then his campaign promises were lies. It looks like he's every intention of doing it.

@jwz Is that logo supposed to remind one of goatse or is that just where my permanently destroyed mind goes with every circle held open by two hands?

@WarnerCrocker People's faces literally went blue trying to explain this to them. Oh well. They were fine with it hurting other people--so I don't give any f's at all.

OK, well half of one is playing the world's smallest violin...but that's it.

@randahl Not all operating systems are American. Linux, the kernel part, was originally developed by a Finn. He's now also American but back then he wasn't. Others in the kernel core group are European. It's a fairly worldwide effort really, but it has some significant European roots as well as American.

You also have complete control over it and can secure it independent of US influence and fiddling.

It's a great system too.

@Badgardener @gretared @curiousgawker What's inconsistent in America about having a job, or two even, and also being on welfare?

@WarnerCrocker I have a feeling the couch has never got off.

@ryanhoulihan @MissConstrue Thing is, language evolves. "Dude! huhuhuh," is a huge part of my lexicon and I'm not gendering by it nor commenting on your attire. I get it. I do. And yeah, I try to accommodate people. At the end of the day though I hang with the people who can accept me for who I am. In all honestly, that's not a lot and I don't actually care because most people discomfort me. Sometimes personalities clash and discomfort can result. It's whatever.

@MissConstrue @ryanhoulihan I've even been known to refer to a female friend as "man" and that's clearly misgendering. Nobody involves sees it that way though.

@MissConstrue @ryanhoulihan Yeah, I've called women "dude" when hanging out. More because you're not really focusing on gender than that it's gender neutral. Interestingly, the only person who ever expressed offense was a man who insisted everyone hold to it's old meaning, "overdressed oaf." Meant we'd never be friends but I tried not to do it to him anymore. I can see why a trans wouldn't like it. So I'll try not to. If they want to assume I'm a dick because I call girls "dude" they can.

@inthehands Yeah, probably. But I wouldn't put it past them and the more comes up the weirder it gets. I think the question of whether there was even an actual injury is legitimate.

And was there a real shooter? This kid that is pro Trump shows up to kill him, totally misses, Trump pretends to be injured and they of course blow the kid's brains out.

Normally I wouldn't pay any mind to it--but with these people...nothing is out of bounds nor to be believed. If they thought it would work...

@inthehands I dunno, the fact that his ear is clearly not damaged actually raises a lot of questions. The whole event has all kinds of weird crap around it already. Now we learn that he wasn't even hit but pretended his fucking ear got blown off? Where the blood come from then? If it's fake--how did he know to carry around a ketchup packet? What else about this situation is fake? I blew off the conspiracy theories but not because I believed they wouldn't do such a thing. Maybe I was quick

@GossiTheDog If it wasn't for the fact that people are posting about it left and right, I'd have no idea this was even happening. None of the websites I go to are even down. I think "critical" might mean different things to different people.

And hey, if you got "critical" infrastructure running on Windows, maybe the lesson today is yours :p
