Want to know which glasshole detecting app is actually spying on you? There’s an App for That!™

Talarico is vying for the Senate Democratic nomination against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas.

Interesting. Crockett is one of the very few Dems willing if not just able to navigate through Republican tactics. What could Talarico offer?

This made me chuckle because of some of the truth in it:

What universities actually do, however, is publish papers nobody reads in journals nobody can afford, in order to make their numbers go up in ranking systems nobody understands, so they can attract research funding and student enrollments so they can pay people to publish more academic papers.

Yes and some number of those students leave the university with new ideas and connections. Maybe some of their papers were an exercise to focus their expertise? Not saying universities are the only place that one can find new ideas and connections with the world either.

Those protocols and services still exist among improved means that are also decentralized. One only has to seek them out.

Lovely plumage!

If pointing out their non-action is being sprinkled on top of their pile of historical non-action is any kind of punishment, I have to wonder how you think they have been treating us who have given them money time and time again and had to figure out how to make their games work without their support!

The fuck would they care about any opinions here. They are only looking at the money they see Valve is making and want to get in on that. Their success is dependent only on what THEY actually DO. Lets see them invest some money for the developers who actually know what they are doing as Valve has done. I don’t see that happening yet.

Sure would be nice to convert a lane of each side of those 4 lane freeways to a railway? Seems like there is already lots of transportation allocated land right along major commute ways.
