literally DRM your eyes

What a comically overblown description. Any platform that supports DRM can "literally DRM your eyes" the same way. Making the screens too tiny to photograph easily is just how a headset has to work, not some Orwellian scheme to control you.

Many fair criticisms of Apple can be made, but this ain't it.

Yeah, I know things like capitalization and punctuation were a lot more idiosyncratic at the time, but I can't recall ever seeing that particular quirk before in historical writing.

Right, but I'm saying "piracy" has the same problem as "theft". Copyright infringement is even less related to the traditional meaning of piracy than it is to theft.

Have you ever heard the phrase "penny wise and pound foolish"? Avoiding vaccines is the opposite of being careful.

You said below it's up to each person to decide and that's true in the sense that people can decide what to put in their bodies, but the relative risk of taking a vaccine vs not is simply a fact. You can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts.

Fuck, are there microchips in fire drills, too? This insanity has to stop!

C++ templates are the worst implementation of generics. Fight me.

This never applied to piracy.

Didn't it? 🏴‍☠️

Holy shit, mic drop.

Also, is that Jefferson's original capitalization? I never would have figured him for the type to think he's too cool for normal capitalization rules.

I think they already are. That's kind of the point of that guy's job.

Cats I know get human pronouns. Random cats get "it".

Yes, and that's true of both the old and new versions. There are a few differences, but for the most part they're the same, so you'll generally see changes roll out simultaneously in the desktop and web versions.

Right, so the "sell" it in the sense that they don't sell it. I get the same response every time. I don't understand why people think it's ok to just lie, and then when they're called out try to argue that lying is fine you said something that feels true.
