“Please tread on everyone but me, daddy!”

I’m hoping the brownshirts aren’t smart enough for that, but you may be right.

well played

we’re all going to hell if it exists…

No longer a theory lol

No.

It should be from -3 to 10. (Probably more than 10 actually.)

Thanks, friend!

I’m fine with people having them; I just think the vetting/training should be more thorough. Charlie got popped by the kind of gun that most would agree should be easy to buy, though. You used to be able to order that sort of thing to your house from the Sears Catalog.

Some podcaster. He became kind of irrelevant in 2025.

And furthermore, he’s on record having stated that he truly believes gun deaths are an acceptable trade off to have a society with virtually unfettered access to guns. It’s one thing to say that on a podcast, but he really stuck his neck out to support the idea.

I don’t know if any phones have this, but on a PC you can set up multiple partitions and have the password you entered determine which is logged into on boot. Then if the ICE brownshirts demand to see your sick memes, you can show them a boring install with some basic apps, instead of the install where you’re informing the denizens of the interwebs that Trump raped kids and the entire GOP is covering it up.

Coming from reddit, it’s interesting to see a world news forum that isn’t entirely and totally captured by Israeli Hasbara mods. I got banned from reddit’s /worldnews for pointing out that “invade Iran” vs “let Iran have nukes” is an asinine false dichotomy. (And I didn’t even use the word “asinine.”)

It feels like we’re losing ground. Why does 8GB of RAM feel totally insufficient to browse the same websites I used 12 years ago with 4? I’m so happy I maxed out my motherboard’s RAM (32) when I built a PC in 2021.

PROTIP:

Ebooks are trivially easy to find online, or you can check them out from your local library.

There’s a free and open source program called Calibre that can manage your ebook library, change file formats, edit visual formatting, and even remove proprietary DRM.

Don’t let Amazon being a bad company prevent you from using your old Kindle.

I’ve only used the subways/metros around Boston, NYC, and DC, and not a long distance train like Amtrak, but those were all fine. Buy ticket board train. No security theater BS.

I don’t make it often, but if you marinate it in something like half soy, one quarter rice wine vinegar, and one quarter mirin, then bread with corn starch, egg wash, and panko, you can make awesome deep fried tofu bites. This works well with the less dense stuff most stores carry.

Yeah mostly joking. I actually do like some of the veggie substitutes. I also like tofu. My grocer carries a brand of ultra dense stuff that’s great breaded and fried.

Yep. And be careful which ebike or motorcycle.

I know I can completely disable–deenergize from the fuse box–my car’s “SOS” modem, but that isn’t possible on all cars. Mine is also like 10 years old and I imagine it’s getting harder and harder. (It being 10 years old also means there aren’t many 3G towers left around for it to talk to, but I’m not taking any chances.)

Yeah 'cause we know all the fresh veggie product from such brands as Taylor Farms is perfectly safe…

(jk going vegetarian or vegan is an admirable choice even if you do it noncommittally by reducing your animal protein consumption. Every 1 gram of animal protein required ~9g of feed depending on the animal.)

So capitalism but every company of a certain size operates as a not for profit coop? (Is that still capitalism?) I’m being serious here. I would like more collective ownership of capital but I don’t know what it looks like and I don’t trust the government to do it centrally. We’d need to nail down details like how big a company has to grow before it must distribute and how the original owners or investors are compensated for that loss of control. We wouldn’t want a system where no one tries to do anything cool because it would ultimately be taken away as soon as it succeeded.
