“Planned Parenthood’s twisted conception of “reproductive health” doesn’t extend to the baby that has been reproduced.” - Metallicfloydfan4l on YouTube

“The pastel colors changing with the seasons, the grey rain of sadness, white snow of stark loneliness, and those cascading, rotating pink blossoms of optimism and joy, all experienced from within the quiet village nestled in those saturated green hills.  No outward moments in childhood could ever compete with that vividness on the screen, leading you to wonder: Does that special place exist somewhere in reality for you to seek when you grow up...or will it just be an arrangement of glowing pixels forever echoing from deep in your mind--ever faintly calling out to you as the decades turn?” - @rhythmdroid on https://youtu.be/KL9Gnx42Xf0

“But if a person can't be bothered to create a thing, why should a person be bothered to enjoy it?” -- @venya@musicians.today, regarding people using AI to generate responses to people they're talking to.

[In response to "I'm still perplexed by the idea that GPU drivers contain per-game optimizations and this is considered normal and desirable."] “@wolf480pl@mstdn.io This is what consumers want. They want things to work immediately no matter how much duct tape is used under the hood. BUT they will also complain if they can see the duct tape, and they will complain when the technical debt causes problems later.” ~ @quad@akko.quad.moe
“They're going to say you can't have any privacy, for national security reasons. And when you ask why they have privacy, they'll say it's for national security reasons.” ~ @mhoye@mastodon.social (https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/115747555840063050)

“No, this is over-complicating a very simple concept all over again.

Reverse-racism doesn’t exist because it’s just regular old racism. White people can be the target of racism just like anyone else, but this is distinct from the fact that as a privileged social identity they may not be nearly as harmed or affected by that racism as a minority would. The fact that social power modulates our experiences of racism does not mean that some people cannot experience racial targeting.” ~ @infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net (https://slrpnk.net/comment/23580755)

“CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.” ~ www.christianforums.com banner note, 2026-08-05
