@nprofile…sp4m 16 GB? hell, this exists, and I’m pretty sure I’ve paid more for 200 GB in mechanical storage, than they’re charging for this thing now

turns out one Apple II vendor, ReActiveMicro, apparently bans people from buying from them, and shares that ban with other vendors, for “wokeness”: https://www.reactivemicro.com/terms-and-conditions/
You can and WILL be blacklisted from all purchasing privileges in perpetuity for any of the following:
(snip)
Public postings, comments, declarations, targeting, or encouraging of; libel, slander, defamation, mockery, accusations, attacks, disrespect, discrediting, nonfactual information, wokeness/canceling and/or threats against any or all; members of the Community, RM customers, or personnel
I may have just sent an e-mail to their snitch line sales e-mail specifically asking to be added to the list

thinking about how capsaicin in peppers (and how mammals, but not birds, are sensitive to it) was likely an evolved reproductive strategy to ensure birds would spread the seeds further
and instead we became mammals that like peppers for the pain that they cause, spread the things further than birds ever could, and even bred them to be more painful
this is the very definition of “task failed successfully”
