Thanks for the assist.

That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is part of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.

Edit: spell check

If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.

In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I'm paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

I can't wait to give this a try! I love star trek games.

What's that? Couldnt hear you over Voyager just working.

Ahem, the right to manbearpig. Whatever that means...

I agree with your point here but, being the 12 year old I am, here's the meme.

The crux of the issue, in my opinion, comes down to those who have been victimized before. Without painting with too broad a brush, men like myself, have a had time viewing the question in the same lens. We don't experience victimization in the same rates or as the omni-present threat that is learned via experience or indoctrination by others who have been victimized. Its a form of dog whistle men cannot normally hear. I dont choose the word dog whistle for the emotional impact but the base idea of the concept. We arent aware because that sense iant built up over time. That's why its important for all those who are victimized that aren't middle class white women to speak up. I know many do and they are ignored but we dont have to be that way. Dispelling that notion requires stories that don't fit that narrative to blow out the mold and make use reckon with the reality.

I love Behind The Bastards and It Could Happen Here. They do have significant episode counts. BtB does a great and looooooong series on Henry Kissinger that I think is a prime example of what you are going to get. If you listen to that one and don't enjoy, I would move on from them.

Yes, it does. I have used it successfully for months. My main issue is I need traffic data due to a new job and figuring which route to take. AFAIK, no other nav app has traffic data. That's the only real bummer.

I really like this idea. I am going to mention it to my partner. We have been trying to craft a policy for it recently.

I worked for a device manufacturer that used Linux under the hood. It happens. Depends on what the staff knows and likes when designing.

I joined the Matrix instance and the dev said, for some reason, F-droid has the old version (1.0.21)rather than current(1.0.27). They are updating the repos and working on it.

Gold on the ceiling? Black keys?

I had an ICQ. I still hear the message noise in the static of my mind lol. I tries IRC so many times but couldnt get the hang of it. Maybe I never found a good server.

I feel like the media might actually be helping Bidens chances by broadcasting the very obvious bad things Trump plans on doing in office that he has said. Most Dems probably dont give a shit about Gaza so, while we have a problem with it, they dont.

I mean....yeah. It is why we are historically ignored by Dems.

Youtube tutorials on how to game Wendys out of free Baconators if you go in at 0135AM precisely are in our future.

The real reward was the genitals we saw along the way.

Maybe it could be set asided or reserved for them?
