  • False flag. I don’t see Gay Furries calling for catgirls. But it sure tried to make homosexuals look bad, yeah?

  • Speculation but: Children.

    If you have something that looks like a pool they’ll go swimming.

    The ladder gets them out and the humps give them a place to stand in the middle to keep their heads above the water line. Their arms get tired very quickly.

  • Oh wow, I remember him! Glad to hear he’s doing well, and thanks for the update.

  • I have no dog in this race.

    That being said, I guess it’s that it belongs to Google, is therefore propriety, and they have a less than stellar record with honoring privacy and/or keeping projects going.

    Add on that telecoms didn’t want RCS to have encryption, which is why the default standard doesn’t have it, and you have a clusterfuck of privacy concerns, longevity concerns, and licensing concerns.

    Then there’s the abuse factor: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/1/23150243/google-rcs-ads-india-spam-verified-business

  • Not happy with their decision but there’s nothing I can do about it.

  • Oh.

  • Your optimism is heart warming.

  • I hate to say it, but within minutes of hearing about the attack by Hamas against Israel, the unexpectedness of it, and the scale of it, I asked myself, “Who’s funding this,” and, “Who gains by this?” And my brain replied, “Putin.”

    Sure enough within days his puppets in our government (the USofA GOP) start talking about reducing/stopping aid to Ukraine.

  • FYIE: They have a $2/month tier and I highly encourage you to do this, if you can!

  • “Dune” by David Lynch (1984)

    This movie made me fall in love with Production Design in movies! I’ve been hopeless about it ever since.

  • Section 3.

    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

  • Nope! The futuristic aspect was that they didn’t jam.

    “No more cassette players eating my $8 album!? I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE!”

  • “Do You Believe In Shame” by Duran Duran

    I heard you speak my name
    Heard you singing The Stones
    Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
    On my telephone

    So why your eyelids are closed
    Inside a case of rust
    And did you have to change
    All your poet's fire into frozen dust?

    I try to justify it
    To learn from your mistake
    But where's the stupid lie that has to make its point
    With such a pointless waste?”

    Simon wrote the lyric for the song about his friend Dave Miles, who tragically died of a drug overdose.

  • If by “horrors” you mean that damn book?

    Then no, there’s eight (8) “Case Files” in total so we’re just halfway there.

    🤨🥺🤣

  • If by “game world” you allow TRRPG’s then it’d be Golarion (Pathfinder 2e) and last nights game was “Case File #4” where a creepy leather bound book (the ‘Dark Archive’) keeps appearing and transporting us to various other places to fight undead.

    #4 was an abandoned mansion overrun with undead that we needed to clean out. Fuck almighty almost every room was a combat session!

    So to be teleported there I’d just run away. Even if I could find a suitable weapon I’d not survive more than one encounter. Not worth throwing away my actual life for some stupid book!
