I laughed out loud when I read the title of this post. When I’m helping my customers with their domain DNS records, I always analogise DNS to “a phone book for the internet”. I love that we’ve come full circle and phone books are “DNS for the phone system” 😂 (also goddamn does this make me feel old 😭)
Good thing there’s no more FEMA!
Wait, no that was a terrible mistake.
I believe her. It doesn’t change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.
To save you a click:
H.R.1161 - To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as “Red, White, and Blueland”.
From the desk of the insoluble Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (from the land of ragweed and humidity and hating pedestrians, Georgia), may God shit forever on his dumbass inbred face 🙄
Hell yeah, talk about collective action! I’m sure the reports from this thread weren’t the only ones, and it was probably already under review, but every pebble counts in a landslide. Thanks for letting all of us know 😊
Nice, thanks for you contribution! 🙌
edit edit: apparently they took it down because they were concerned he wouldn’t ship, not because they enforce their own guidelines. I’d say “suck a dick, Shopify” but that would give blowjobs a bad name
Edit: The store is gone, good work everyone!
Whaaaaaaaaat the fuck. That is a Shopify store, and their terms of service explicitly state
You can’t breach the social contract of commerce.
There are activities we don’t allow on the platform because they breach the social contract of commerce. This means you can’t call for, or threaten, violence against specific people or groups. And you can’t sell products that facilitate intentional self-harm.

It is not massively popular. Don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking that. These mouth-breathing troglodytes are in the very slim minority as far as the whole population goes. A lot of the people voting for him actually did not know what they were voting for - I was just talking to one of my friends overseas and they had no idea about quite literally ANY of the things Trump and Musk are doing. I told them about the Department of Education, USAID, the Treasury access, and the concentration camps, and then they interrupted to offer to let me stay with them and seek asylum from the government here.
Many people in the US were in the same boat. The Fediverse gives the people on it a lot of information most people don’t ever see, and the more people learn about what’s actually going on the more people will start to oppose it.
partially responsible
Those fuckwits were so fucking loud and so fucking sure of themselves that they don’t get to hide behind half-measures now. They get to enjoy full responsibility; I lay it at the feet of each and every one of them.
Your difficulty here is the qualifier “better”. We can create a different icon. A more modern icon. A cooler icon. But there is not a better icon, not until fewer people understand the floppy means save than those who have no idea what it is. And because it’s self-reinforcing (“the save icon is a floppy disk because floppy means save”), that’s not likely in my estimation.
And how much did it cost? The whole thing, I mean. Must people who buy a game want to play the content so the price of said content should be included. Somewhere in the region of $1000, isn’t it?
Yeah, they chose this over a relationship with us. They get to enjoy the fruits of that choice for the rest of their lives.
For anyone wondering, this is what those staff ignored for two hours (WARNING: this may well trigger you, it sure as fuck ruined my day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx4in4UpdWE
This video is 43 seconds long. You hear that sound out of a little kid’s leg, followed by the screaming for two hours, and don’t immediately call the ambulance, you’re not a reasonable adult. You’re an inhuman monster. Anyone saying “well maybe they thought he was just acting out” is ignoring the basic facts of the case so they can be contrary on the Internet.

This is the sound of a femur breaking. This video is 43 seconds. They ignored this for two hours.
No culture normalises ignoring this and when it happens children die and the parents or guardians are held accountable.
I’m done with this nonsense. That video made me feel sick, fuck you for arguing so strenuously in favour of understanding for the staff that just let this kid lay there like this. Really, fuck you. You ruined my whole morning with your inhuman bullshit.
Okay. Find me a human being who won’t scream for hours when you snap their femur.
The femur is the thickest and largest bone in the body. When it snaps, everyone around you knows. Every breath a scream.
Now, please defend ignoring a child screaming at the top of their lungs with every breath for two hours by saying something more about personalities and wanting attention.
What a load of wank. “Error in judgement”? What about their training, I thought they weren’t supposed to use judgement? /s
Little child, broken femur, two hours; that’s all we need to know. Come up with any hypothetical as to how this happened, and the answer is that it was the responsibility of staff and facility to have it in hand. They failed in that responsibility, staff and facility both. I’m only interested in the “why” and “how” in order to figure out how to prevent this happening again.
I see it. And this:
Well, I think it’s fairly obvious this passed the line between protocol and neglect
So if you agree this crosses the line into neglect pretty clearly, what are you even trying to say about protocol?
From your latest reply to them:
the school staff were probably trying to follow poor, outdated training principles that did not apply to their actual situation, instead of acting with outright malice
I never said anything about malice, and how is that relevant anyway? If it were malicious I would hope the police would be involved. What I said was, this is criminal neglect, and there’s no protocol in the world that calls to handle this situation this way.
If this had been at home instead of a facility, with the parents ignoring the crying child, CPS would take the kid and the parents might well face charges. Again, two hours. And may I point out, this is a broken femur. That kid wasn’t whimpering. He was screaming himself hoarse.
Sorry if I hit a nerve.
There is no fucking protocol that says Sounds an awful lot like expertise of every protocol in every school to me. It’s not easy to know for sure that some random school in Virginia absolutely does not have any sort of planned ignoring protocol.
It blows my mind that you do not see how saying “expertise in every protocol in every school” strongly implies that this knowledge is necessary to voice an informed opinion on the matter. I don’t need to know every protocol in existence everywhere to know you don’t leave a kid to cry on the floor for two hours. It’s the same as how I don’t have a pilot’s license, but if I see a plane in a tree, I know that someone fucked up. There is no defending this and I really don’t understand why you’re trying to.
There is no protocol that says to leave a child, nonverbal or otherwise, crying in pain for two hours. The length of time is extremely important context and takes it from “ooh what do I do” which is maybe the first fifteen minutes tops, to criminal neglect.
Sorry if I hit a nerve
Yeah you only implied this person doesn’t know how to take care of their own kids and that your armchair Internet experience is at least as valid as their lived experience 🙄
Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.
