  • You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you're questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?

    At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it's your neck on the line only?

  • It was intentional out of courtesy for those who may have experienced past trauma or stigma associated with such.

  • Pretty much why I'm glad I switched to Proton. They came out with Proton Pass, which includes aliasing, and I haven't looked back. So far, I haven't had any leak. However, I have come up against one, some shop service used by some companies, such as Vessi and CrunchLab. It uses the email address you put in with the first company you bought from. Kind of annoying but not deal breaking.

  • You can rename files in Windows using the F2 key. This works for a lot of Microsoft products including editing a cell without overwriting it in Excel.

  • I've heard a lot about Rust. I'll have to look into it. I hate myself so my preferred language is PowerShell.

  • Don't forget convicted r***st and suspected pedophile! ;)

  • You'd think the writers of the last couple Game of Thrones seasons shot him!

  • They did, though, on January 6th! They were looking for her and others.

  • Vested interest in any government that doesn't threaten their wealth. Capitalists always thrive in fascism.

  • Maybe not, but capitalism and fascism want the same things. They don't care about Biden's age, just their wealth and not supporting anyone who threatens that. That's why all the narrative around Biden's age is all we get out of that debate. The wealthy own all means of communication.

    There's a reason the saying, "the revolution will not be televised," is relevant. I think you may be missing the plot a little as no one thinks CNN drugged or did anything else to Biden. But the media can make it so the national attention is on Biden. They want him replaced or they want tRump to win.

    They're playing chess while a majority of Americans are fighting about who gets the white pieces and who gets the red ones [cause they're playing checkers]!

  • Ding ding ding! Biden is a threat to the wealthy so the smear campaign is rich capitalists trying to replace Biden with someone they like more, or get tRump back in so they can get tax breaks. They care not for the dangers of fascism cause they'll still make profit, but with fewer regulations and faster.

    Also, probably many of those implicated in the Epstein files are extremely wealthy and don't want that info taking center stage at anytime. The wealthy like to see those bank account zeroes increase! Soon as you threaten that, they try to jail, replace, or "remove" them using their near infinite means. The same ones named in those files likely also own local news groups and can influence local and/or regional news.

  • Wow, that's crazy! I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, after all that, you were spared from long COVID.

  • I still love the fact that not even the actors knew what was going to happen so their fear and surprise is genuine. I think it makes the whole scene better knowing that!

  • Wouldn't that be interesting? I know when I got COVID, the one time I got it in the last 4 years, it took me out for 3 straight days. I couldn't imagine trying to do well in a debate while inundated with all that comes from COVID.

    Since the vaccines started becoming standard, infection rates have normalized and the current strains are much less harmful than the first (if vaccinated, if I recall). It's possible that COVID could mimic similar symptoms to a cold and drastically influence debate performance. It would definitely explain the senility we witnessed.

    Bottom line is that Biden is old as fuck, we know, but the dude bikes and exercises while constantly barraged by people shouting he's "too old" and "should drop out." I think I would bomb a debate with all that shit, too! Add COVID to the mix and I'd probably want to die rather than debate a serial-liar.

  • Why do you think everything sucks right now? The simulations ran out of resources long ago so no new ideas are created, just rehashing of already established ones. It's why we have AI, but it can't generate anything new or useful. It's why we're about to have a restart of World War 2 and The Cold War. It's why movies that come out already are getting remade, but slightly worse than the original story.

    People like to think that's because capitalism only caters to the safe bets. But we know better! It's really just that the old Apple 2e that's running the simulation(s) is low on resources!!

    Now, where did I leave all that red string, pictures of Bigfoot and the Loc Ness monster, and thumbtacks?
