You said what they're doing seems like sealioning. Not sure how any of us are supposed to infer that you're not talking about the subject content you're commenting on.

I affirmed the rest of your opinion other than the trendy label you then put on it. Not sure why that makes me a douchebag, but then with me not being American there might be subtleties to the term that I'm not aware of like "calmly suggests you might be misusing a term".

One question can't be "sealioning". Sure they aren't curiously looking for an answer, but that's not what sealioning is. Click your own link.

They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

Do you understand what the word "dynasty" means? It isn't "famous family". Definitely not "famous because dad got elected to high office".

You're talking about American presidential candidates?

Why would you feel better about the USA when the USA are who have fostered, enabled and defended these attitudes for 70 years now?

The Hobbit ends in a massive battle that seemed made for TV, but Bilbo gets a bonk on the head. I'm sure people don't need to hear about the ebb and flow of the battle. Have King Stannis host a feast afterwards and the few characters left alive can trade highlight stories.

Martin was mostly a Sci Fi author before ASOIAF. Still is, seemingly.

The fediverse also costs someone money to run. If you want to set up a fediverse dating app and have everyone's likes and kinks mirrored to dozens of servers run by people with almost no obligation to keep it private, good luck

Plus Jesus loved renaming people so there's that.

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome's, despite Firefox's being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser "just the way I like it" found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.
