  • I get it, the anger and spite, but you're not running for president in a country where a portion of the population believes you should be saintly while your opponent spews vitriol any time he opens his mouth. Biden has nothing to lose by removing the gloves, but unfortunately, calling a rose a pig dipped in dog shit while hoping to appease the largest swath of voters is something Harris needs to shoulder. Biden should have never made those comments, at least not until after the election.

    I feel the same as you, but we have the platform to voice those things anonymously and without repercussions.

  • Hey, I'm you and you're me! I also just turned 40 in late September. Happy belated birthday, ya old fart!

  • Don't worry, that's exactly what these TheoBros and Christofascists want! It's literally in their little manifesto.

  • To turn away from the "go hard onto Linux" tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WuB). I've been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don't feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.

  • I know. Same. And the music. It's so good!! Such an intense movie, but so human. The emotion really comes at you from all angles!

  • Yeah, I saw it all on EWU's channel. Some quality shit on that channel. Though by their logic, everything I do normally in my day-to-day is a red flag!

  • Kinda hard to cum without an erection, though, right?

  • There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, "the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents' you're gay."

  • I don't run my own instance, but one concern I see grappled with by instances, at some time in their existence, is how to handle image storage and embedding. I won't pretend to know the options or have opinions on which to use or how to resolve the larger issues, but I see that as a large hurdle to mainstream, in addition to the points referenced by OP.

  • In use Voyager for my daily driver here on this account and Jerboa for my NSFW account.

    I love Voyager for the "hide read posts" and the some of the sitting and layout stuff. I like Jerboa for the erections!

    • The Fountain
    • Schindler's List
    • Idiocracy
    • This is SpinalTap
    • Saving Private Ryan
    • Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    Probably missing some, but these are the ones I can remember right now. I think Schindler's List should be required viewing by everyone before they graduate high school. I remember when they used to air it on regular TV, unedited and uncensored, commercial free. I feel we were nicer and more willing to avoid wars back then.

    I ain't ashamed to say it, I cry every damn time I watch it.

  • Meanwhile some deaf, mentally impaired, black dude gets tased and beat up by police for the crime of... Checks watch... Being black and unable to hear the officer.

  • I remember this kind of shit when I worked at Caterpillar. I always assumed the requested permission messages just disappeared into the void. Of course, I was IT so my requests were usually asking for more than they'd want their help desk staff to have.

  • One use-case for me has been converting code from a language I know to a language I don't. Usually, just small snippets. The code is usually full of holes, but I'm good enough with the logic to duct tape those puppies!

  • Given the municipality, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a Phoenix PD officer who did it.

  • Thank you for running a great instance. No notes. Except it would be nice if you could set the limit on how long a proxies image remains available. It would be nice if there was a time limit that could be shortened based on time. Or a combination of the first and second option.

  • Glad you're still here with us!

  • I count 8 lives used. Next hole punch gets a free death.

  • "We lost" to a career politician, of whom does really great with prepared, political settings, but sucks monkey balls at any setting involving normal human interaction. Waltz has never seemed that comfortable with prepared talking points, he's too much of a dad, and exudes that down-to-earth vibe that hopefully resonates with some voters who don't like career Democrat politicians, but feel what Waltz has to offer all.

    Vance is a politician, Waltz is a neighbor. Vance does well in official, political settings, that's all.
