TDS in action.

Less dementia, yet they have trouble determining their or anyone else's gender and are certain that the sky is falling pretty much every day, every time the weather changes. (shrug)

For the previous 2 decades, enthusiastically pro-technology slashdot would have been virtually jizzing over how awesome it is that a president is in favor of Martian exploration (with a number of entirely-justifiable cautionary voices over how dangerous it is, how previous presidents promises all turned out to be worthless, etc).

Now, entering slashdot comments in the full flush of 2025-flavor Trump Derangement and OCMuskD, I brace myself for a torrent of political hate-posts trashing the idea, anything associated with it, and then just some random "Trump bad" posts.

My expectations are entirely fulfilled.
Why don't you guys just step away from the keyboard and maybe go watch The View or something?

It's Pride month, don't you have a parade or something to be at? Marx's birthday was only last month, you can still celebrate that.

(breath)

ahaahahahaaa

You guys are absolutely hilarious.
Dude, give up: your lie was exposed, everyone understands what you did. You can't re-hide it.

"Made up shit like DEI"

Cope harder, your bullshit woke religion is dying.
Dr Who scored the lowest ratings EVER IN 60 years.
Nobody wants watch a campy queer shake his ass *while telling* insipid stories that basically revolve around propaganda.

I like how you just throw in racist like it's assumed because I don't belong to your church.

Any guess what skin color I have? Or if I'm gay/straight?

...how many mentally ill people ARE there just walking the streets?

It's a fucking "finish the text" engine, not the voice of god.

Jesus Christ people, pull yourselves together.

Of the two of us, only one mentioned race. I didn't even hint at it.

Maybe you want to check your mirror for racists?

You can say it: RTD's insatiable desire to serve the woke ideology has perhaps slain a 60 year old series.

Then when The Message took over, The Star Beast took a giant shit on the franchise, and then we recruited a new Dr Who who "wanted to twerk a space alien to death" campy preachy bullshit.

The only way it comes back is if it does what it did last time - it vanishes long enough that a generation forgets what the fuck they did.

Ironic position to take when ecomarxists are the ones insisting climate stop changing because we like it how it is.

"saved me the trouble enabling the feature".

Aside from the word 'the', you could pretty much put ironic quotes around every word individually in that quoted sentence.

I'm sure glad google is thinking about me and my workload.

I suspect this same mechanism behind 1st-world warming. We spent the 1970s and early 80s clearing the sky of industrial particulates, and what do you know, suddenly it started warming.

Oh no!
I don't subscribe to your religion!
I must be a heretic!

...when they decide to have one of their stupid conferences by video instead of flying 700 private jets to some luxurious place.

Or when they start selling their seaside mansions for "fear" of imminent sea level rise.

Or when they start eating crickets themselves.

Until then, fuck off.

You're not wrong, I'm 6'4" and 360 at age 57.

Un(?)fortunately, my blood pressure is consistently good, cholesterol is "amazing" (dr's words, not mine; iirc my total cholesterol is around 130?), resting heart rate is around 62-68, blood sugar below 100. ...when we were discussing these at my last annual checkup, dr said that a) given my apparent lack of health impacts, the side effects might be more trouble than the benefit, not to mention b) convincing an insurer I 'need' it might be a challenge as well.
So we tabled the discussion. :|

I didn't realize these were also effects. I'd heard they at least anecdotally affected other compulsive behaviors but your result would seem to be something they should absolutely be promoting. Both my parents and sister were/are diabetic, I absolutely recognize the hassles and regular actual pain you're avoiding.

I don't know you from Adam but I'm genuinely glad you have that result.
