The one with guns, I would assume.

I'm not saying it's right or even acceptable, but let's use the proper words to describe things. In this case Israel is exploiting members of a persecuted minority, then further screwing them by stealing their wages. And on top of that many of them are probably refugees because of Israel's genocide campaign. But they're not slaves according to any of what I've seen claimed.

Sorry, I was being cranky.

Supermassive black holes (SMBs) are much, much bigger than any star. If you look at this Wikipedia article, you'll see that the theoretical limit for star size is in the neighborhood of 300 times the mass of the sun. SMBs are at least hundreds of thousands of times more massive than the sun, up to billions of time more massive. They are also probably older than any star because they had to exist the form the seeds of galaxies. One of the open questions in astrophysics right now is how SMBs formed as quickly as they did, because there's a limit on how quickly a black hole can absorb matter. Any faster than that limit, and the matter falling into the black hole is so hot and dense that a lot of it gets blown outward.

If you find this stuff at all interesting, I recommend checking out PBS Space Time on YouTube, particularly their black hole episodes.

User name checks out.

Or the Laundry series by Charles Stross.

I understand wanting to unload one. Not so much the part where someone pays to be the recipient.

Yeah but they misspelled it, so they lose some points there.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I can't tell if they think transition surgeries are a good thing they want to stop immigrants from getting, or a bad thing being forced on unsuspecting children.

Be that as it may, you clearly don't know what you're taking about and aren't interested in learning.

Elections that can affect things on a national level are still only once every two years. I vote in every election but going off on people who vote for but doing it often enough is just stupid.

Bro do you even know what the UN is?

 

I'm trying not to read too much into the fact that Reddit is down right now, but I've noticed pages have been increasingly slow to load lately, and I get a lot of messages about server errors even just voting on comments. It seems like they're barely even keeping the lights on. Anyone else notice the same thing?

 

I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won't harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

 

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

When you try to edit a Reddit comment in their mobile web app, it deletes all line breaks from your comment so you have to remember to manually put them back before submitting.

The other big issue I have is that when you type in and edited comment, it will omit spaces between words at random. JFC, there's no reason to use anything but a vanilla HTML input element (because only markdown formatting is supported), but they somehow fucked up basic text input anyway!

My last little gripe is that nothing in the interface tells you that markdown is supported, which is extra dumb because the desktop interface tries so hard to hide the fact that markdown even exists.

(And yes, there are a host of other annoyances, but I'm trying to limit my criticisms to things that can only be explained by incompetence.)
