I'm sorry. 😞

I think you're joking a out how Ukrainians are the real people who got the USSR into space?

I'm not. It was mostly paperclipped Nazis on one side, mostly Ukrainians on the other. 🤷‍♂️

Russia might have ended up with the USSR's rockets, but they certainly didn't make and much less design them. The only thing Russia has ever produced is a worse future for Russia. They're extremely efficient at that. It's their whole history: “... and then it got worse.”

Most of Europe is at war with the only European country who's gotten people into space

Sure, but they're on the same side.

(Unless you mean the USSR, but that hasn't existed for more than 30 years, and it was mostly Ukrainian scientists and engineers doing the job during the space race anyway.)

Had my first ones yesterday too.

I'll use FreeTube if I have to, though I don't quite like the UI, but cleaning the cache seems to have done the trick for now.

Revanced users are within a rounding error of the total users, surely?

Some of us use NewPipe. 🤷‍♂️

Burn the white house again.

Line must go up, fast. Sure, it'll soon be going way down, and take a good chunk of society with it, but the CEO will run away with a lot of money just before that happens, so everything's good.

They're probably not a bad alternative to the lorem ipsum text, thought they're not worth the cost.

Good, good, there aren't enough microplastics in the sea, must dissolve more.

His successors are alive and well, though, sadly. “Atado y bien atado” indeed. 😞

Still impressive anyway. Massive white geometric shapes shining under the Egyptian sun... if you want people to catch religion that's a pretty good start, I think.

Or use augmented reality glasses to overlay CGI images of what they used to look like over the real ones...

(I'm not sure we've got good enough transparent HDR screens yet to properly display how bright those things would be under the shining sun, though.)

they used to be painted

Not painted, covered in smooth white stone, with a reflective metal capstone shining in the sun.

I am wondering why they wouldn't repaint them

They would look even worse, supposing the paint would even stick to the stones (would almost certainly need plaster), and nothing like they originally did.

The original cover is gone, after millennia of the pyramids being used as a quarry, as are the capstones (probably the first to be taken to be melted into jewelry).

What we see now are the inner stones, scoured by millennia of pillaging and erosion.

Repairing the pyramids would now probably require replacing the outer, eroded, layer of inner stones, and covering that with a fresh layer of white stone, and making new capstones.

It'd be very expensive, and probably ruin a lot of the archaeological value of the site.

They'd look breathtaking, though, as they did when new.

No.

Fuck off with this shit.

Having to work for a living is more than monstrous enough without asshats trying to make it "fun".

If you want to reward your employees give them better pay, and paid time off, and let them know you value their work (no bonuses or similar shit, though, that'll cause even more stress than the horror of having to waste most of your life working already does; if you want to give them more money, give them a raise, no fucking strings attached; or even better, pay them the same in total but reduce their work hours, so they bring the same amount home at the end of the month without having to work as much).

Yes. My worldview, morals, and ethics were pretty much fully formed before I even started using the internet.

Maybe I would've been slightly less cynical and nihilist and depressed, but the world outside the internet has let me down a lot more than the internet, even accounting for enshittification, so probably not.

I would definitely have less interesting fetishes, though.

Or he ate them.

Might not be Satan, but it's J.K.Rowling, which is way worse...

Burrowing into a dark cool hole and aestivating until autumn.

Dragon 32.

I just found out the other day that items pinned to the taskbar are in %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar. 🤦‍♂️

Microsoft is a sad parody of itself.
