The Saga of Clarence Thomas and His Luxury RV Takes a Disturbing Turn

Jump

  • It's one real news piece, followed by 20 people's response to that news piece, followed by manufactured drama about those opinions, over and over again.

    • Microsoft stoops to new low with ads in Windows 11, as PC Manager tool suggests your system needs ‘repairing’ if you don’t use Bing

    Jump

  • I never upgraded software-wise. Moreso my tech got so outdated that new hardware I'd get (I only use Windows for gaming) would have the latest Windows installed - exactly what Microsoft wants.

    I think Proton/Linux in the past year is going to really disrupt that strategy.

    • Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm

  • My wife's parents went crazy lead brained. They went pure antivaxxer and said if we don't want our kids to have grandparents, then get vaccinated. We lolled and said, "Bye".

    It's been four years now.

    They now pretend like they didn't say that every few months by sending us gifts and cards, that we promptly give away to charity.

  • Sorry for your loss.

    They will now be part of the boomers being fools community.

    • Elon Musk axed the entire Tesla Supercharger team after their division chief defied orders and said no to more layoffs

    Jump

  • Thats going to be every single one of them.

    Musk really fucked around here.

    • Someone purchased the old domain of a FOSS app, then it's using it to deceive users to download adware

    Jump

  • Makes sense.

    Its literally a weekend job and a few bucks to quickly set up a fake site. Even with a single $20 donation are you already recouping your losses.

  • Ooof! That "View on GitHub" button made me believe it was the real one

    • [CW: Death and destruction] How neocolonialism work

    Jump

  • I can't remember which American jingoism movie it was about Iraq, but it had a scene like this.

    The brown people are like, "You Americans are only here to take our oil!"

    And the bootlicking soldier was like, "No, we're here to make you rich."

    And while it sounds cool at the time, that was a load of BS.

    • I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about?

    Jump

  • A firm statement is fine in my opinion.

    "It sounds like a lot but we need to focus on the work and this isn't something that's helping."

    If it continues, a direct message of "Not my thing. I really don't have a dog in this race."

    Jump

  • This isn't a good idea. This is just burying the issue rather than confronting it.

    They will bring it up later.

  • That comes off as a personal preference, which depending on the type of person, will walk all over you.

    • Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say

  • Seen loads of trans people say they always knew.

    Uh what?

    • I did an online CPR course and had to do an improvised dummy. Head, shirt filled with a pillow.

    Jump

  • Online CPR course - that's incredible.

    • Jan. 6 Situation Room Officer Reveals Trump Fans ‘Came That Close’ To Murdering VP In Stunning New Interview

    Jump

    • Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game

    Jump

  • I'm still optimistic. No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk, and Fallout 76 took their heaping trash and glued things until it became fun. And Starfield has a lot of really good working pieces that can be salvaged.

    But you might also be right. I can't imagine Bethesda fixing quests or narrative elements.

    • 50 million rendered polygons vs one spicy 4.2MB boi

  • GPU, render my 4.2 MB json file!

    • Parishioners stopped teen with a rifle from entering church with 60 children inside

    Jump

  • Apparently that line of thinking upsets the gun nuts.

    Give a gun to every protester.

    Arm every child.

    That'll keep everyone safe, right? Right?
