@benjojo OMG... OneDrive is probably just SharePoint too, isn't it?

@goatsarah Yikes. Same.

@goatsarah Personally, I'm convinced that artificial sweeteners are way more harmful than actual sugar is. Your body at least has some idea what to do with sugar.

@goatsarah @stavvers Nah, I don't think it was you... This is really, seriously the work of a massive coordinated right wing effort to erode civil rights for all minorities. It just happens that trans people were the easiest ones to pick on first.

@eschaton I took a robotics class that used LabView instead of a normal programming language. It was terrible. There's no reality in which drawing a loop using an entire screen's worth of symbols is easier than typing out "foreach." I could not finish that class quickly enough.

@copter_chief You're retired now, you can call it 9:00 am again 🙂

(jk, my son is in the Army, whenever we talk about what time it is, it's like speaking a like a minor foreign language.)

@goatsarah I wonder how much of the experimentation was because the substances were poisonous and probably gave an intoxicating effect. You know, if you lived through it and all.

Would it be wrong to respond to someone who says "Have a blessed day" with "Live long and prosper" ?

So I know reddit is going through some things right now, but has anyone noticed a major rise in porny (bot) followers over the past 48 hours to a week?

@thomasfuchs Wait- do Wine & rosetta work together now, or is this just to enable games that are compiled for arm64 to run?

@thomasfuchs Or maybe TiltFive.

@maxkennerly Which means transphobic abuse won't be dealt with, but if a trans person calls someone a bigot, they'll ban the trans person.

No thanks, Jack, I've seen this movie already.

@grayface_ghost @goatsarah Does it? The "brand name" for that particular medication in the US is "Tylenol". It's only called "acetaminophen" (in the US) when it's being sold by a generic company.
It was developed in the US though, so why would we call suddenly start call it something else?

I mean, I just figure it's one of the weird ways language has devolved between the continents more than anything else.... We don't call trucks "lorries" or elevators "lifts" either.

@goatsarah I don't think this is a uniquely US thing... Don't Brits usually call Acetaminophen "Parmacetol" ?

@georgetakei it’s what we expect from the Trump Crime Family

@goatsarah Isn't GenderGP still a thing?

@goatsarah @ailbhe You would think, that a politician in the UK, of all places, would understand what appeasement with fascism leads to.

@equalitytime @thomasfuchs I wonder how Phil is doing now. Probably retired.
