lol, this made me laugh in the most depressing manner.

‘arrested at 1:30am’

That was his mistake. Do it at 10am on a weekday with cones and a high vis vest and they wouldn’t have noticed for a couple months.

it counts as a donation, he gets to deduct it

the whole idea of a coffee ‘break’ was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.

They are actively against SEL which is the stupidest thing I can imagine. The only thing I could imagine worse is feeding your kids lead paint chips.

It was very poorly written. The fact that you (and I) read the article and don’t know what they were intending to convey is telling. I THINK the issue is fragmentation that they mention breifly, but that is probably me bring my previous opinions to the article.

I switched to Nobara a couple months ago. My computer is a lot snappier. Overall its great. Some minor difficulties but no show stoppers.

Signal desktop gives me an error that it is keeping credentials in plaintext which is fucked, I tried to get it to not do that but havnt been able to figure out how. (there are tutorials for ubuntu/gnome, but I havnt figured out how to translate those to fedora/kde…

I just started using crow-translate which is amazing, but keep getting a screenshot error message. Something with wayland maybe? again when I search there is a lot of shit about ubuntu/gnome but that doesnt really help.

So don’t attack the pawns, recruit them.

There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.

Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military

Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail

I liked “I’m not ok with this”, also “teenage bounty hunters”

They pushed both even when they had already canceled them. Both were compelling enough to warrant more episodes. Nope.

I’m more bitter about “the peripheral” tho.

Never ok? Bullshit. Verbal abuse exists and it beyond not ok, but there is a huge fucking gap between never ok and verbal abuse.

yeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

This isn’t the first time they have tried this

I had a friend tell me her strategy on unsolicited dick picks was to respond with pictures of other dicks in shoes. Often coupled with comments akin to ‘you couldn’t pull off these stilettos, but maybe you could try a kitten heel.’

He is a moron to be sure, but crashes like this make opportunities for those with means to gobble up the big stuff cheap. Sure ground beef is expensive as fuck right now but I bet the wagu steak hasn’t changed nearly as much. Hell when the economy is going well the rabble want a taste of the good stuff. Better to keep them in their place.

Interesting. I dont think they are metal though. Sound like Rock to me, but thats just my opinion.

Careful what you wish for. I’m not disagreeing, but when the powerful are fearful, it will get worse before it gets better. Could be a whole lot worse.

the desert to the east of San Francisco.

Lol what the fuck? I assume you are taking about California Forever but desert is a weird word to describe the Sacramento River delta. It is one of the largest estuaries in north america.
