  • “Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities - and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.

    Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.

    So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public.” – George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70




  • To prevent the script from spreading further, all Wikimedia projects were set to read-only for about 2 hours, and all user JavaScript was temporarily disabled.

    The NoScript extension in Firefox makes the web so much nicer. It turns out sites that don’t require JavaScript tend to made by vastly better humans than sites that do. More so for sites that require cross-site scripting and cookies to just show text.

    Can’t search on google.com without allowing JavaScript, but it turns out Lite.DuckDuckGo does, and for me at least gives vastly better search results.

    Wikipedia can be read and edited without allowing JavaScript, and I personally don’t like the crap that the scripts provide. It’s also usable without cookies, tho the idiotic UI options column on the right is a hassle without cookies.
