This poll is important.

Please boost.

I once mistook a trebuchet for a park bench. It was the long wooden seat that threw me.

It's not that the Republicans and the Democrats are the same...obviously. But for decades - since Clinton - the Dems have sided with neoliberal economics, just like their Republican counterparts, so the major differences between the two related to overt discrimination, to the exclusion of the economic policies that immiserated working people, with the worst effects landing on racial minorities, women, and gender minorities.

my favorite operating system is bingos 11, i like the way that you can't even do anything with it, it just does its own thing and shows you ads and sends your most private thoughts and fears to an advertising agency. at least they made it so scrolling up moves the page left and vice versa

I would be very happy about some input from people who actually need image descriptions.

Of course, on the artist's Facebook post for this comic, there is a reply guy saying "Well actually, the term gaslighting wasn't about gas lighters..."

Andrew Tate is a rapist, lets see how many of you are not intimidated by him, share this post to prove it.

I asked my good friend @david_chisnall if there is a commonly known slang to describe a massive propagated error. He replied with one word - and nailed it:

“Windows”.

To be honest, “x86” would also be a good answer. However, a more accurate way to describe x86 is as a “pile of horrible, independent ideas forming a huge, unmaintainable mess”.
