Well being President is sort of like being a Star. And as well all know, if you're a Star they let you do it. Orange Julius was talking about underage pageant contestants at the time, but I think the same principle applies here.

Yeah I don't know about "likely" but it's not a bad thing to have.

Well they definitely get bigger when the rhythm is right. Do it enough and they can be your weapon of choice.

"Immersive Commerce" is the most vomit inducing thing I've read today.

I've heard some good things about fluticasone propionate. Normally it's an over the counter allergy med (nasal spray), but I saw a study where a lot of people that used it got their sense of smell (and by extension a lot of taste) back in about 5 days.

Worth a try, at any rate. They sell it at Costco and most drug stores.

How many forks could a forklift lift if a forklift could lift forks.

I think people wanting stuff is pretty much endemic to people, whatever economic system happens to be in place.

They can't man, it's the only thing keeping out the vampires.

He did say he was making Earth, so.... yeah?

Cool, I'ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we'll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It's not combative!

I know, it's not buttered noodles and tendies. The horror.

Don't look up what happened to her VA. :(

What an idiotic comparison.

…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.

Be the change, homie.

In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we're not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn't workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they'll totally get to it after Furrycon.

You might not be paying for software in money but you're going to pay for it, one way or another.

One of the scariest things about parenting is how little control you really have over outcomes for your kids. I have watched my kid make bad decisions and there's just fuck all I can do but hope she learns from the experience and isn't too badly hurt by it while giving her all the love I can.

I'm not talking about falling down the stairs of course; certainly nothing safety related. But decisions with friends, academics .... you can model good behavior, your can inform, you can supply incentives, and consequences, but end of day, it's their life.

I mean my mom is a raging Qanon, Trump loving, anti-vax (recently), evangelical and I'd happily vote for Bernie and got my last round of boosters a few days ago, so it goes both ways I guess.

Sometimes I wonder if the admin is just ... waiting for the Israelis to finish it. Like, they've decided that this is going to be an eternal conflict until someone decisively "wins." Unfortunately the winning condition for both Likud and Hamas appears to be 100% enemy casualties.

Everyone's backed into a corner here. The various Arab nations that have hated Israel since its' modern inception and hated Jews for a LONG time before that want Israel gone, Likud seems to want Hamas and most Palestinians gone.

There's no way out of this until everyone agrees everyone else gets to live.

If the US just washes its hands of the whole thing tomorrow we might have another regional war that could escalate unpredictably. If they pressure Israel to cease-fire, the various PACs start throwing money around (though I think they have less power than politicians are afraid of, honestly - money can only do so much).

I have no idea how you even begin to negotiate with Hamas or whoever's running the show in the West Bank. The whole thing is a massive clusterfuck and anybody with a neat, simple solution is either a genocidal maniac or delusional.

Oh God, that's the "calculating attack vector" face. I bet the tail is twitching.

I'm feeling stupid this morning, what were they doing with the thumbnail?

lashing out

This is soft selling war crimes. Shame on you.

I was more thinking about immediate effects on people (analogous to the meme) but this is ... terrifying. Great. This is fine. It's all fine.
