Pretty insane that around 0.4% of all IPv4 addresses are wasted.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Oh god, is that a RATSHAKER reference?

I mean, Xbox is MS. I wouldn’t expect them to help dig their own grave.

Correlation is not causation.

Both?

Apparently it depends on the app or input field. The generated emoji is an image, not a unicode string, so the input must be able to accept inline images.

You can send them to yourself in Signal, for example, then download the image and post it here.

Skype or ICQ for extra mindfuck.

o-oh!

But you put it on my list, and I don’t want it to remain there, either!

I can see weeped.

Dreamed and smelled are clear, but… sleeped? sleped? Utter madness.

Yeah, but you’re also secretly hoping for it. It’d take care of the decision you’ve been wanting to take for ages but couldn’t quite justify. You know it’d be better for your mental health, but you’re missing that one big event to ‘force your hand’.

A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.

I don’t think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don’t think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.

The US’ democracy index is falling, but it’s still comparably high, between France and Italy.

But I did say factually wrong. I do admit it’s not that cut and dry, and the republic organisation isn’t everything.

I get you’re referring to a plutocracy. The question is if the US is so far gone that it’s out of flawed democracy territory - the lines are definitely blurred and I’d argue it depends on the state.

Yes, there’s tons of things that make the process unfair, but does that make the system not be a democracy? It’s a flawed one, one that basically only allows white dudes to vote, but the system is still a democracy.

All that to say it is a democracy after all, just even more condescendingly. Wonderful.

No, this is just the first time anyone actually invested more than the one sentence into an explanation. Can you give me a little more to look into? I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to.

People keep commenting this without context and it’s driving me mad. It’s factually wrong, so at least tell us what you mean in the figurative sense.
