From a national security standpoint of the government, it absolutely does matter who has the data.

There’s an entire Star Trek instance (startrek.website) that followed the /r/daystrominstitute community from reddit during the Exodus.

Left4Dead2. Infinitely replayable, multiplayer without being toxic (except Versus mode), simple enough for n00bs to not be a burden most of the time.

A large bottle of cologne. Plausible gift that makes them think they smell bad.

I’m the building superintendent.

My landlord pays me to live in my apartment rather than the other way around.

Because that would violate the prime directive.

“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”

Just lemmy in a browser for me. Never used facebag or twatter or others besides reddit.

I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.

There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

If social media companies exist to collect massive troves of personal info from users–and they do–then there is a valid national security concern over social media controlled by an adversary. This is distinct from the individual privacy concerns towards domestically-controlled social media.

Mmm-bop

Be, is, are, was, am, were, being, been… are all the same word.

Fritz Leiber’s short story “A Pail of Air”.

This story portrays the effects of the most terrifying natural calamity I have ever encountered in fiction: Earth being ejected from the solar system. In any other disaster there’s still hope because even though humanity might die out, life on Earth would eventually recover. Not so in this case. Without the Sun we’re fucked. Even the air freezes (hence the title).
