My GF would kill me if I wore it, however much I love the shirt. She was army reserves for 8 years. She is so happy to be out though now. She was deployed to Kuwait and Afghanistan. She's officially VFW with all the VA benefits. But yea, totally one weekend a month, lol.
Memes arent actually from the Internet, only this particular form of text on a picture meme is. And that particular style has historical precursors in actual physical newspapers.
A good way to think of them is a shared in-joke repeated. If you and your friends keep making the same joke, that's a meme. Yo mama jokes are a meme.
The Wilhelm scream in films is a meme. It's often used as a joke by sound designers and done so repeatedly by practically everyone in the industry.
This is a 30 year old plane. I'd say it was maintenance related... But there have been numerous emergency slide issues with the 767. Apparently theyve fallen off a lot.
If they were that close, they wouldn't run a site which solely relies on the safeguarding of that data. I cannot imagine they don't know how to handle and backup data.
As for the gdpr, selling the data to an AI company for LLMs is probably anonymized. Or they have a database that does not contain any account information and only the posts. From a cursory read of the gdpr your personal data is your account, not necessarily your posts. If the posts are no longer associated with an account they are free game to reddit.
Ironically, deleting the accounts might make it easier for reddit to use the data.
This only affects scrapers. If reddit is selling the data, they will just sell the unedited version from their database.
This is ineffective and deleting or editing reddit comments has always been a circle jerk to make yourself feel good that you are "hurting" reddit in some way.
I'm going to be falling into a stepfather role this summer when my girlfriend and her daughter moves in. We've already kind of talked about marriage.
I'm nervous as all hell, but the girlfriend says I'm doing great so far. Her daughter loves me and I try to handle her by leading her rather than telling her. If she doesn't want to take a nap, well then I guess it's time for me to take a nap and she'll follow. When she doesn't want to go to bed, then I'll play like I'm going to lay down and sleep in her bed and she'll kick me out because it's hers.
She's a smart cookie, and I'm excited for it all. I'm excited to take her to extracurriculars and chaperone field trips. I'm scared shitless. But excited.
For the most part, the cars are fine. I really enjoy working on a car and find pleasure in purely mechanical things. I like internal combustion engines.
Sure, I think Musk is an idiot. But it's much more that I think Teslas are overrated. My biggest gripe is the arbitrary changing of existing user controls and their ethos of the car should anticipate and do things for me. I don't want the car to do anything unless I tell it to. Even if it is something as simple as turn signals.
I don't want solenoids for car handles.
I don't want controls on a fucking touchscreen.
I don't want automatic updates.
I don't want subscriptions.
I don't want to be able to change the horn (because a horn is supposed to be a safety item and sound a certain way.)
I don't want stupid games on the touchscreen.
On top of all that, I think they are pretty ugly too.
Not really what this post is about, but can we get rid of the "common sense gun laws" mantra already? It's implying that anyone who disagrees with it, for ANY reason, doesn't have common sense. It's not good for having a meaningful discussion on how we can work together to deal with this problem.
Personally, I don't think guns are the underlying issue here. While I am not against regulation, I think plenty of events show that without firearms tragedies will still occur. So it would only be a small part of preventing these sort of events.
Gun culture is a major issue, even beyond the guns themselves. "Come and take em" and "fuck around and find out" are symptoms of a mentality that guns are a solution to solving problems that's on par with discussion, leaving, or de-escalating. When ultimately, guns are the final answer that should only be used when all other options have been exhausted.
Socioeconomic pressures and inequality issues need to be addressed to deal with most gun crimes, since mass shootings are the minority cases in which gun deaths occur. Yes, when they happen they are atrocious and make headlines and everyone hears and talks about it, but when people are dieing literally every day from guns we can't only focus on the events that catch media attention.
Mental health, and by extension, all health needs to be made a priority. Suicides by guns is by and far the most common method.
Media needs to stop stoking fear and divisiveness. We see too often than someone reacts with extreme actions to perceived threats that aren't really there. They've been primed to be afraid ALL THE TIME. So when someone knocks at the wrong door or uses their driveway to turn around they violent "protect" themselves from a threat that never existed.
Stop the worshipping of property. It is NEVER worth the taking of life to protect property. This goes back to gun culture where people believe that using a gun to protect their own shit is somehow a valid solution. This also extends to the police. Fuck them for violently protecting property over people.
Fix the police problem. At the very least, teach them fucking patience. At every point they try to end a non-violent interaction as fast as possible that they are often the ones to escalate to violence. Unless someone's life is directly and immediately threatened, chill the fuck out.
