@hoja its not THAT good a quote they’re just desperate for drama
@transfemwulian but also you know, always a good day to claim your favorite blorbo is actually trans so
@transfemwulian my understanding is it was originally riffing off the power inhibitor chip in Spider Man: Brand New Day which has nothing at all to do with being trans but *does* claim to be able to selectively inhibit/express aspects of someones “biology”
(article on the chip, if you’re curious: https://www.networkisa.org/the-wrap/view/spider-man-brand-new-day-inhibitor-explained-why-peter-parkers-new-invention-could-change-the-mcu-forever )
@christianp the issue as i understand it is that scrapers are using hundreds of thousands of IP addresses and only making a few requests per address so the way they take down sites can’t be solved with conventional rate limite — effectively half of of what the “verifying you are human” interstitial is doing is rate limiting *first* requests, which are the ones where bot access attempts outnumber humans 99 to 1
@vicorva do you have older unedited clips with the mouth noises still in?
@ehyde oh neat! seems like its pretty high cotton content
@elena why does it say “we’ll have to move on” like that isn’t what every person getting unsolicited political spam texts wants to happen
@draco yeah i like our trains quite a bit! amtrak is generally punching well above its weight class in terms of funding per acre
@rigormorphis i mean its not like it undermines your point
@draco anyway as someone who’s done the coast to coast train trip themselves (washington state to philladelphia via chicago) you can tell your brother that I’d be picking the train over the plane every single time if they could triple the speed. Which would probably only require switching to the class 7 track we already use for most of the east coast, rather than true highspeed!
because the real problem with US rail is that for some godforsaken reason freight has right of way and so you can end up pulling into the chicago a full 8 hours behind schedule because you were stopped so many times in montana.
@draco its a strange argument because high speed rail provides the fewest benefits in dense areas where the trains are stopping regularly — the faster you’re going the earlier you have to start breaking and the less time you spend at top speed
@FediThing not that i wouldn’t mind a second show like this, but this is the broad premise of Leverage (2008-2012 & 2021-2025)
@jadedofmara i’ve never heard of this song 😂 there are also definitely some letters i don’t start from the top….
@shotgunseamstress thats fine, i was just answering the question you asked
@shotgunseamstress lots of people—during the earlier days of the platform people used to joke it was a dating site
@wallhackio weirdly enough not *every* person on fedi is a lesbian
@wallhackio incorrect
@wallhackio how was it
@lisyarus i’m kinda obsessed with the way the wiggly tree trunks look tbh
