Meh, we can disagree over beers. I have no qualms with people talking.

Well, you've got me there…

I absolutely trust her to.

I've used Teams, Zoom, Google Meet. Teams is the worst.

Yes, I am an enemy of capitalism. I have to throw in the /s to not get downvoted or banned. People don't know when sarcasm appears in print.

It's eighty years old. It's a different world. That doesn't make this bullshit at the time.

Agreed. Go to Patreon and let me pay for an ad-free stream. I’m a member of fourteen different Patreon projects. Used to be more, but a couple of podcasts drifted from where they were when I signed up and I lost interest.

I buy software licenses too. And I buy my music. I rent movies on streaming services and sometimes buy for things I know will have a high replay value.

I feel no shame blocking ads. They’re invasive and annoying. People have been conditioned to accept them, but I got rid of television in 2021 and started torrenting content. Now that there’s good infrastructure to pay for my media (ad free) and I can afford it, I choose to support those who make what I enjoy. Fuck ads. If I can’t block them, I’ll just go elsewhere.

Target execs are spineless. Don’t shop at Target.

Shell scripting is a fun hobby and a great way to build automation.

 

Oh noez! /s

 

Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

 

Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

In a better world, I might hope for this to be the beginning of the end for social media and online ads. In this one, well…

 

For six agonizing days, members of the group chose “faith-healing” over proven medicine, believing that’s what God truly wanted, and the little girl eventually paid the price for their religious negligence.

Horrific.

All of them, including Elizabeth’s parents, were the adult members of a religious group known as The Saints—a tight-knit group that only has 23 members in total, spread over three families.

How fucking arrogant do you have to be to call yourself saints? This is why I used to answer the door to random religious preachers and say, "Go fuck yourself." You can't be more arrogant than knocking on my door and telling me that I don't know what's correct. And then I learned about these people. Wtf.

She said while it was a "good outcome", the "system failed to protect Elizabeth in the first place".

"We are only here today because more wasn't done sooner to protect her or remove her from an incredibly unsafe situation in her own home," Jayde said.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I had a friend who committed suicide. I blamed his ultra-religious parents (he was only 19 or so at the time). I'm sure he thought it was a sin when he masturbated. He believed the earth was 5000 years old and dinosaurs didn't exist. Now tell me that his parents weren't at least partially to blame.

 

What standup guy! /s

 

 

Reffitt has spent most of the last four years in hiding, constantly on the move every few months. He was the person who tipped off the FBI about his father’s involvement in the insurrection. Jackson’s father, Guy Reffitt, was a member of the Texas Three Percenter group when he stormed the Capitol wearing body armor and carrying a pistol and zip ties. He was caught on camera urging other rioters to storm the Capitol building and told members of his militia group that he intended to drag House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of the building by her ankles, “with her head hitting every step on the way down.”

[…]

Tasha Adams, the ex-wife of Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes, who had his 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy commuted by Trump, is also worried about what might happen. “Stewart is out of prison now and, frankly, I could really use a bit of a run fund, in case it comes to that,” Adams wrote on her GoFundMe page on Tuesday, hours after her ex-husband was released from prison.

Go donate if you can. As the son of a battered mother, this really speaks to me.

 

Disorderly idiots acting like trash and exhibiting a persecution complex.

"It's because they're liberals!" "She has green hair!" "Fucking democrats!" "Is it because I'm a Trumper?" "This is like a democratic thing?!" "What did I do wrong?!" "We did nothing wrong!"

It's so unfair because all they did is scream and hit people!

The first cop is a dick who calls the ladies "hon" and tells the perfectly calm security guard to calm down. He sucks. The sergeant is calm and professional.
