While picking up my daughter from school today, I noticed an old jeep in the parking lot, but did not think much of it until I saw the tri-spoked Mitsubishi logo above the grill and did quite the double-take. Apparently a number of foreign companies were licensed to produce them after WW2.

Are you trying to give people hot Satanic nun fetishes? Because this is how you give people hot Satanic nun fetishes.

I'll be in my bunk suffering from my new fetish. Thanks, asshole

Formerly pretty good free resource for academic citations now turned into a giant pile of steamy hot garbage by the incredible asswipes at Chegg, a corporate name that mostly calls forth the image of a debilitating sexually transmitted infection.

Recommend using instead: https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator. At least until they also start demanding your firstborn daughter for each citation.

You can learn by watching anime, but you'll sound like a 14-year-old. Japanese has various levels of politeness that need to be mastered if you don't want people to think you're an idiot.

*source: speak Japanese, lived in Tokyo since late 00s. I often sound like an idiot in Japanese, so don't get your pants in a bunch.

~~There is no indication whatsoever that @SleeplessOne1917 is the same person as @cannotsleep420~~. Jesus, people, stop pissing yourselves for the literal 30 seconds it took to fact check this bullshit claim.

*edit: I took the liberty of finding the actual dev's account: /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml. It took a whole additional minute. You're welcome

*edit 2: /u/NOT_RICK@lemmy.world has some links below that do indeed link /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml to /u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml. Soooo, while I don't regret my nearly infinite capacity for skepticism, but it looks like this story has some legs. Hat tip to NOT_RICK, who is adamantly not Rick.

I have never successfully run any piped video on any platform. Literally every pipedbot post has been worthless, at best, and usually actively frustrating as I'd actually use an alternative youtube frontend.

Dear pipedbots: blow me. Dear ReVanced: ❤️

This is absolutely legit and it's why edgelords should never EVER be ironically racist

The moron who made this meme did it on a computer that requires literally thousands of innovations that are a direct, replicable product of the scientific method. It is the most powerful philosophical system on the planet, despite its sloppiest practitioners, and it doesn't require the belief of fucking idiots to work.

Here is how record companies have treated their own precious assets: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Universal_Studios_fire

10s of thousands of original master recordings lost forever. They should fucking be paying archive.org for preserving these artists' works

*Edit: and of course Universal is one of the plaintiffs. I hate these fuckers so much

This is seriously deserving of an antitrust investigation. An open web is essential.

*Edit: referring to Chrome and its derivatives, not Adobe. Alphabet/Google has been begging for antitrust action for years.

To the surprise of no one, California cops spend most of their time harassing taxpayers via traffic stops instead of work on solving actual crimes.

Well, that guy is clearly a massive prick, but let's also talk about how fucking ugly that truck is. I don't know when everyone decided that land yacht pickup trucks were the bees knees, but they're not. They're just dumb and so. goddamn. ugly.

Choose your capitalist fate!

Path A: medical bankruptcy.

Path B: incurable disease and certain horrible death.

Quite a system the wealthy have built for us. I'll be terribly disappointed if the book doesn't end with a bunch of guillotines.
