You have been randomly selected to become the leader of the world, but if you do not maintain more than 50% approval rating, you immediately die. How do you survive?

  • Go the Warhammer 40K emperor route: set up nukes worldwide, triggered by a pacemaker on me. I die, the world dies.

    • Trump plans to scrap policy restricting ICE arrests at churches, schools, hospitals

  • Don't they also consider international airports a border?

    • Do you guys have difficulties watching movies?

    Jump

  • Some films have slow pacing, and I struggle to pay attention. Most of the time I watch at 1.25x speed.

    • Amazon starts selling Hyundai cars, more brands next year

  • Are they going to be binning those too?

    • Is the"war on Christmas" in the room with us right now? “Amy Hamm: Canadians are killing Christmas. Let's restore it“

    • UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder sparks online outrage at health insurance industry

    Jump

  • "sparks"... the outrage has been there for a long time, festering. The only difference is that now the media thinks it's worth talking about.

    • The electric shock behind Europe's stuttering EV future - and how China has leapfrogged major car-exporting nations

    Jump

  • Another problem is that American car makers are not interested in making affordable small vehicles, they're interested in maximizing their per vehicle profit margins which means SUVs and trucks. Very few options for compacts globally, let alone in north America.

    • feral naming

  • I'll accept carpet shrimp.

    • BreakingWAF: Widespread WAF Bypass Impacts Nearly 40% of Fortune 100 companies

    Jump

  • This means that when a CDN service is used as a WAF, the web application it protects is open to Internet traffic, and is expected to validate that it responds only to web traffic that originates from and by the CDN service.

    When this validation is lacking, backend applications can easily be directly accessed over the Internet.

    So, misconfigured backends that don't limit access to CDN sources can be fingerprinted through web scans. Seems like a big honking nothing-burger.

    • You have one (1) free teleportation that must be used within the next 24 hours or it disappears forever. Do you use it? Where do you go?

    Jump

  • Next day: Fuck, car's still at work!

    • I put off reading Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga for a long time due to the terrible covers, but I highly recommend them!

    Jump

  • Oh, the plots are ever as cheesy as the covers, but she does know how to spin a good yarn.

    • Favourite cheese! 🧀

    Jump

  • Gruyere. Just the right amount of sharpness and hardness. Goes well with crackers, grilled, or with salami.

    • What's the least amount of cinnamon you can possibly use?

    Jump

  • The results are always cinna-nomnomnom.

    • Ontario Premier called out for inaction on promise to remove Highway 407 tolls in Durham

    Jump

  • Are you mad? That's horrible! First they'll do a congestion charge, then they'll put bike lanes back, then ban cars altogether and turn downtown into a walkable utopia!

  • Or you might get accused of being a witch.

    • Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?

    Jump

  • No, that's the [other place] mentality. Upvote if you want to increase visibility to the post. For example, there may be a post with a link to an article about some politician doing something I disagree with. I would still upvote it if the post allows me to discuss why I disagree with said action.

    Downvote if the content is harmful to the community (for example spam, overt racism, etc).
