Misread the post title, thought everybody jumped and left you all alone.

See that parachute over there folks? Its rigged! Rigged I tell ya. Don’t trust it. If I jump out of a plane with that 'chute on and fall to the ground, to my untimely demise, it would be because it was rigged.

“Fuck your magic, free Lilo and Stitch”

I shout as I start downloading Lilo and Stitch from a torrent

At this point they get to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

Not sure which was first , the Atari 1600(?) PAC-Man or Pole Position.

Self defense is self defense, would we expect some different behavior from a country being attacked from outside interests with publicly accessible end to end encryption services?

blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.

Or… you know… at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

Depositing checks is about the only useful thing I’ve seen on my local bank’s app, but that only matters if you do business stuff with people who pay with checks.

Unless both products had the same amount of sales and generates the same amount of revenue, the lowest seller with the lowest margin would be cut.

If there’s a replacement product somewhere it might be brought in and the cycle would start again OR the shelf space of the “winner” would increase to take over the now empty spot if the products were shelved in the same set.

Its very odd how there’s always noise but you never notice it until its actually quiet.

No bugs, no fans, no vehicles in the distance, no dripping water, no birds chirping, no breeze… nothing.

It almost feels like a physical presence, this lack of sound.

Like walking from a hot room into a cold room, or suddenly feeling a huge gust of wind when the air was still moments before.

Most of the stuff is in sealed and tamper evident containers, so at the very least, we’d know something was up before trying to use anything.

Not sure what “a lot” means but there’s some animal veterinary stuff that we buy every 6 weeks or so because… well… shit’s expensive and not always easy to find locally. It winds up being either Amazon or Chewie that has the stuff in stock and at prices (even with shipping) that are manageable with our budget.

Wonder if there will be some Democratic attempt to do a reverse “Purple Heart Band-aid” thing with this?

Wearing tampons as earrings or something.

Not much to learn, really.

You’ve just pointed out what’s been known since the 90’s.

The short and simple of it is:

1. Doesn’t seem like there’s hope for things getting better.

2. Following the rules doesn’t matter.

3. Suicide is hard, so why not attempt a “suicide by cop”?

If they’re not making more work for you, its not something that needs to be worried about.

Any chance that you’re just doing to much work? Not a dig, I’m not a chatty person and prefer to do the work until its done or I’m at a stopping point and its time to go home. So my habit is to do do way more work than anybody expected me to. (Downside of being a person who tends to work moderately well with minimal supervision.)

Palestinians can have a little nationalistic pride, as a treat.

God’s an unfalsifiable claim, so there really isn’t anything that could test that hypothesis.

Pretty much any scientific test/discovery that counters anything in a religious text whose adherents view the text as completely truthful and literal. But sciencey stuff might not have much of an effect on religious folks who view their texts less literally.

But anyways… heliocentrism, germ theory, gravity, evolution through natural selection, probably a huge chunk of the field of archeology, plate tectonics, radiometric dating, probably the written language at various points in human history (but that’s not really a discovery), trans species organ transplants, decoding DNA, direct genetic engineering, CRISPR, radio telescopy.

You mean unfalsifiable claims right?
