Would you rather have it that in order to post that comment you would have had to buy a certain brand of computer?

Communication protocols have always been hardware neutral. Using BBSs on a dial up modem was not restricted to Amigas or whatever.

Imagine a world where "The Microsoft Network" became the dominant "online" space and you had to pay MS to access it.

Part of the phenomena you are describing is called commoditising your complement where you neutralise the USP of your indirect competition - cream producers want strawberries free so you afford more cream.

Software writers don't want software tied to a particular manufacturer, they want as many potential customers as possible.

never met a furry

knew a few gays & lesbians in the 80s. lesbian would dress quite manly

in the 90s knew a mtf who passed. was at in a group with people saying "did you know there's a mtf here?" and he was sat in the group

in the 2000s I was at theatre school with some gays, one of whom had worked as an escort and would go out in drag

in the 2010s worked in film/tv, quite a few gays, some who were in their 20s when it was illegal

out of all of them, I've never known a gay who liked Pride.

then I went to the US for a conference in 2019 and met the modern "man with a beard in a dress who makes people call him 'she' ", he's the only one I ever thought was a mental freak

yeah, based: 'How can I, as a Jew who lost thirteen relatives in the holocaust, do anything that would betray Israel?'

you're claiming "50% efficient running off of a heat differential, it will be 200% efficient in creating that same heat differential."

now, even if it's 101% efficient you can carry out the experiment as i described

A retarded take that is just a hit tweet. Annie Altman tweeted about it in 2021, although didn't get noticed until March 2023.

And you don't call someone the last thing of a Friday at 30mins notice about it. That is not why he was fired.

And if that was the reason and you wanted him gone forever, you'd say it.

What this lacks is how many other such "they attack this weekend" signals were received over the years and never came to fruition.

you can almost always find a guy to satisfy "this guy predicted EVENT"

I'm sure hooking two stirling engines together such that the first takes a heat differential and produces motion and that motion drives a second stirling engine to create a heat differential twice as large as the first and can thus drive the first is very simple to demonstrate.

You can buy a pair of very well engineered stirling engines for less than $500, create your experiment and recover your investment generating infinite electricity and selling it to the grid.

I look forward to seeing your photo on a bed of dollar bills.

I don't hate other species, I just put my own first.

I think it's cruel to put human clothes on these things

Or maybe people just don't care. I certainly wouldn't pay for the off chance I have no service once. Urban people don't realy need such a service. Those who do are more likely to sub to satellite services already.

I think you might enjoy Christopher Lasch’s "The Culture of Narcissism" (1979) it seems to align with your current theme of posts.

It is also extremely prescient.
