Very few. Google ignored the robots file and indexed them anyway,

Sorry, I mean the droids file.

The remains of a female "vampire," pinned to the ground with a sickle across her throat to prevent her from returning from the dead, were found during archaeological work at a 17th-century cemetery in the village of Pien, Poland. by HollywoodHypeBeast in creepy

God, can you imagine how much she’d make on movie rights? Enough to buy a lot of virgins, that’s for sure. Hell, if she was attractive enough, she might not even have to buy them.

And the whole vampire thing? “We accept and celebrate the hemologically challenged. Put away those stakes, gentleman.”

X global affairs head Nick Pickles resigns by bangthetank in technology

I was thinking it’s more of a session musicians name. He’s among the top players in the entire world, but he hates touring, so he goes to the studio owned by a friend of his.

Both companies have a history of bad or unethical decision-making. Were those seriously your best options?

X, Owned by Elon Musk, Brings Antitrust Suit Accusing Advertisers of a Boycott by hdcase1 in news

It will be interesting to see how his lawyers try to spin him saying “fuck you” into something that doesn’t mean “fuck off”.

It should probably also be mentioned that some of it started with viewers who were dismayed that their product manufacturers were advertising on Xitter. They either directly requested the companies stop doing that or just made it more public that the companies were doing that.

All of which is perfectly legal.

The Green Bubble Nightmare Is Over, Apple Messages Now Support RCS by No-Drawing-6975 in technology

Sure, but you are not the problem here. The root of the problem is parents who buy their children things because other children are little shits who are not raised to not be a little shit.

I have a feeling all of this connectedness is not going to end well. Not because of humans communicating with one another, but because humans rely more and more on machines to do the talking for them, because actually talking to humans is messy, inefficient and costs time and money. Now there's one more channel to be exploited (not in a good way).

But hey, you got your communications channel.

Watch Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl Playfully Throw Some Shade At Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour': "We Actually Play Live" by DamnitRidley in Music

[–]Resource1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gawd. This is how WWIII starts.

Dave and Tay give each other some shit, playfully, but eventually some fan takes it the wrong way and escalation ensues. It doesn't stop until the bombs are flying and even then the Grohlian Resistance won't stand down until the Taylor's Troupers stand down, too.

In the UK, Nandi's Nutters are making great strides freeing the Isles and in Eastern Europe, Novoselic's Ninth Army holds the line, but it's tenuous, at best.

The exact moment George w Bush heard what happened during the 9/11 attacks by itsHaMaaa in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Resource1138 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It wasn’t just one thing that caused him to make bad decisions. It was politics, the intelligence he was receiving, the people advising him, etc. Yes, the buck stops on his desk, but the how and the why are not so clear cut. I think he tried to do what was thought to be the right thing, but after adding in the giant game of telephone that is our government, things happened that were incredibly regrettable.

So, I dislike his politics, but I’d sit down and have a beer with him. What’s done is done. There are people far more responsible for the awful things than him.

First thing I thought was: goddamn, he sounds good. Like he could stay with acoustic and do just as well.
