Were trying to be better, the internet is about communication. Instead of eating processed soilent slop on major platforms, were sitting here on our gluten-free unpasturized Reddit.

Have you ever met a health nut not evangilize about their one trick to a healthy colon? Because thats what we are. Digital health-nuts!

Ive been gifted a few IoT things over the years. They stay on their own network / VLAN or are unplugged entierly when not in use. The meme about keeping the firearm near the one thing I cant reasonably make myself is not innacurate. Tech workers are aware of the vulnerabilities and issues with cheap insecure IoT nonsense. As part of one of my nerds cyber security learning we hacked a smart cat feeder to snoop on wireless networks and allow a back door (we had their permission, it was a gift that was unneeded so they let us take it apart).

Edit: also a ton of that junk phones back to AWS, and usually pretty lazilly, if your learning pen testing or cyber security its a fun exercise to get this cheap crap and find out how it works.

The opportunities for Adams Family costumes with Thing.

A quote from Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Dont you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby. We got enough shit to dig through to function. Im not going to tell you your wrong, im not qualified to make that judgement. Find a better word as to not conflate the alphabet soup of neurodivergence with seemingingly functional members of society who lack empathy. Psychopath seems to be along the better verbaige, but workshop it for a bit.

47 needs to go ASAP, if vance has to serve more than 50% of the remaining term then he can only run for reellection once. If 47 croaks or is removed after that point, the couch-fucker can run with some incumbant advantage twice

This is the reason every table top RPG since the 1980s has had intelligence and wisdom labled as different stats.

Ok, so its a post on the artist formerly known as twitter. He has people who can post that for him, thats not a confirmation he isnt at the hospital.

Um… Boss? We were already doing that…

Dito, most major outlets and companies that used to do fun things in the past for marketing or for fun have stopped. It used to be my favorite holiday, now adays… Its dry and the humor just isnt there anymore.

Quickly Mr. President, help me bring the guests to your fancy ballroom a cask of amontillado we keep in the secret bunker.

My rationalization for why they are doing that is that vance has a better chance at holding the reigns after 47 croaks (incumbant advantage), so its important to the GOP to make sure he makes it to the 50%+1 day line of his term so that vance can run for 2 full terms of his own plus the rest of 47s term. The issue is that vance is not the cult of personality and 47 kicking the bucket will set off an internal power squabble that may end up spoiling their ticket while their hemmoraging support because 47 and his ilk are a cavalcade of fuck-ups.

Im jelly of people who can run GrapheneOS, I can lead others to water but can not drink…

Im on there too, been to fanfest a few times. Its a beautiful city. Learned the hard way, you can not survive on beer and hot dogs for 5 days…

Wishful thinking, a messy internal power struggle as Vance is not the cult of personality. Things do not improve but the wild tactless nonsense stops for a brief moment as we await the midterms.

I feel like that one line from Kingsman (the good one, right before the fight scene in the church) is appropriate here.

Harry Hart: [to bigoted church lady] I’m a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, madam.

That was because the guard rails were still in place.

Exactly this, its the main reason people around this corner of the internet push ad-blocking software so much. Its a slow toxin that warps your subjective processing.

Everyone is vulnerable to it, those that claim otherwise are deluded, and the only way to be free of it is to cut advertisment from your life in as many places as possible.

He very clearly shit himself while on TV a few weeks ago, and its not headline news because reality is crazy town these days. I fully expect the day they announce he croaks to be a lie and they have been "Weekend at Burnies"ing him around for atleast 72 hours prior.

If that happens early next year around his terms half-way point I fully expect a “Death of Stalin” scenerio (from the begining of the film, where they have to find the best Dr in Moscow, but cant, because they threw them all out of the country and finding one would mean the violated Stalins orders) because if Vance has to server for more than half the remaining term, he can only run for re-election once.

LoL no…

Laws like this are trojan horses for draconian data collection policies and a failure of every other metric. The “Think of the children” people do not understand technology or how to enforce their own laws. Anyone with the impetus to get around the changes these laws mandate will do so with a google search and ~30 min. worth of effort regardless of age or ability to wave a credit card at something.
