That was the opposite of nuance. It was pedantry that deliberately missed the point.

I scraped my knuckles just looking at that

Basically the US was the worlds police until recently.

For the most part, only they saw it that way. The very fact that America refuses to recognize the ICC tells you everything you need to know about how good faith their “world policing” actually is.

What they’ve actually got a history of doing is describing foreign incursions to protect their own economic interests as “police actions” rather than formal declarations of war, in order to ignore various laws and international conventions. America has not been the good guy since 1945.

Yeah it’s just so nakedly transparent how dishonest their posturing is about Europe not doing enough on defense.

Turns out what they actually meant was “our entire economic system is predicated on infinite unending YoY growth targets, and we’ve run of ways to grow, so now you all have to start spending more money on feeding this fucking beast we created”.

Also this theme of “how dare you take advantage of us all these years” is exactly the kind of talk domestic abusers use.

Darn. Problem with the Fediverse is you don’t know how things will render on other people’s clients.

Trump has now ordered NIST to reverse their recommendation on Rust.

When an influential group of powerful people make hate speech a part of their standard rhetoric, is EXACTLY when you MUST block it on your platform, not a signal that it’s time to start letting it slide, you fucking pricks.

I’ve been paying for Office365 home for years. Recently I started a business and signed up for 365 Business for the company email address.

Outlook stopped working, because the 365 Business account - which I specifically signed up in order to do email - doesn’t include local Outlook, and my existing home-licensed one throws a hissy fit if I try connecting it to my business account.

Microsoft sucks.

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.
