Originally it was from the supernatural community writing shipfics about Sam and Dean Winchester. Eventually the meaning diluted, and you had 4chan spouting “incest is wincest.” Reddit’s core userbase was poached from other web 2.0 sites, including 4chan, and so the echoes of imageboard culture live on.

Drop the w and you’ll understand.

Oh, these rich bastards would love that. Nah, they’re stuck with me. This is my country too. They managed to run me out of my home state but I’ll be damned if I abandon the country I know we could be.

Yeah you’re right, it’s always an “incident involving XYZ”

Presumably there’s a way to make literacy tests make sense too but we don’t live in that world. The history of American voter suppression says voter ID laws in the United States are a form of voter suppression. One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson is a great read. It should make you angry.

1. White people
2. The kinds of IDs white people are more likely to have
3. Whoever will go along with our bullshit (realistically state governments; no idea if he’ll actually try to force blue states to go along with it or just use it to deny unfavorable election results)
4. We totally thought about this, and we have a great idea for it
5. Women can’t vote, stupid
6. See 5
7. See 5

/s, in case anybody reading really needed it

4chan is a very stubborn website

I’m hung over, can we reschedule?

Talk about putting it mildly

The people who like guns so much aren’t the ones opposing Trump. You should take notes, because it’s coming to your country next.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

It is the Century of American Humiliation. At least I hope it only lasts a century.

No, that’s not what’s happening. They’re preventing scrapers from accessing the content at no charge. They’re totally willing to make deals for access to their content in exchange for money.

If you didn’t turn out to vote you didn’t oppose trump.

Where has anyone told you what search engine to use? I just wanna know where you get the idea that their pricing structure doesn’t make sense.

Duckduckgo is not free. You pay for it by looking at ads. How much do you think it would cost you to run a service like Kagi locally?

How much do you figure it’d cost you to run your own, all-in?
