Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)

You, umm.. might wanna think about not talking while us vast-majority-of-the-working-class are discussing how we are going to eat the rich.. just a thought. I know people in your tax bracket, and they are all wildly out of touch with society, just like you appear to be. The most I can make in my area, degreed and with skills and all, is 40k, literally 10x lower than what you make. And you have the absolute audacity to complain.

So.. like… Nobody cares about your “struggle”. At all. Literally nobody ever. You are part of the problem as far as most people are concerned. And you probably actually are part of the problem to be whining like this, anyway.

I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?

Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.

I’m not married and somehow still do this?

Like I just bought myself a new bed frame and omg I’m just dying to have my partner over to see it once it’s set up (my .. 37 yo self - fuck, that’s right - feels so adult!).. like ooh idk surprise I guess? The birthday fairy left it for me? Don’t judge my spending. It’s precious. My precious.

I still use Plex but I’m considering a concurrent jellyfin server for when it inevitably enshitifies in ways I can’t tolerate.

I paid for a lifetime like 10 years ago so I def got my money worth, and it costs me nothing to keep using now.. but I don’t want all my eggs in one basket.

As the server owner, I’ve disabled all of plex’s self-promotional bullshit for now.. and the only people who actually use my server are “home” users, which I have control over, so it’s just not an issue for any of them. Yet.

Stop, stop! I can only get so moist!

Except that you have to use the drugs around him, which I imagine runs the fun entirely.

Well if that isn’t a great way to ensure nobody comes forward when they find major vulnerabilities, idk what is.

Hope he wins the appeal.

Like “quiet quitting”, which is, in reality, just doing your job and not going above and beyond because it doesn’t benefit you…

Omg I loathe those icons. They are so much harder to use than words, cuz I still have to hover over them to make sure it’s the right thing.

Windows 11, in general, feels so shit after being on Ubuntu.

But I see Linux has decent touchscreen support now so as soon as I’m done at this job, that sucker is getting formatted 😈

Define “most” and cite sources.

You’re right; men pretending to be women are drag queens, not women, trans or otherwise.

Trans women are women, though.
