You want to make Trump the first king of the United States to punish Biden for... what, exactly? Failing to stop Trump?

What the fuck kind of logic is that?

This is the stupidest thing I've read today.

Avoiding slurs is good, but you're still claiming that her experience is impossible because you've never experienced the same thing.

  1. To compare every comment on reddit to every other comment in reddit's entire history would require an index, and if you want to find similar comments instead of exact matches, it becomes a lot harder to do that efficiently. ElasticSearch might be able to do it, but then you need to duplicate all of that data in a separate database and keep it in sync with your main database without affecting performance too much when people are leaving new comments, and that would probably be expensive.
  2. Comparing combinations of comments is probably impossible. Reddit has a massive number of comments to begin with, and the number of possible subtrees of those comments would just be absurd. If you only care about comparing entire threads and not subtrees, then this doesn't apply, but I don't know how useful that will be.
  3. Programmers just do what they're told. If the managers don't care about something, the programmers won't work on it.

Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals.

It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.

The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.

They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.

Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?

Because they'll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It's a pathetic reason, but that's all it takes.

He's a human trafficker and a rapist. The women in his videos don't have a choice but to do what he says.

Blargerer is probably saying that because the Mastodon post OP linked to says "In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent."

That, in turn, is probably referring to a letter received from the European Commission by the same person, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/alexanderhanff/status/722861362607747072

It's not exactly a "ruling", but it's still pretty convincing.

That's pretty much it. Apparently the format optionally supports compression and even transparency, but last time I used paint it didn't do any of that, which is why the files were so massive.

I'm pretty sure GSRM wrote A Song of Ice and Fire.
