Guns are hard to get and going away? Clearly there’ve been some changes in the South since I was last there.

Wasn’t the right poised to take it all in a landslide only just… checks notes - yesterday?

Wasn’t this just a “hard landing” yesterday? Or is this a different event?

What a coward. The country can go fuck itself, so just own up to it you pussy. But no no, he’s all “my wife did it.” So not only can we go fuck ourselves, we’re also rock stupid.

I’m not reading all that. I just need one answer from any suit at Mozilla: are you going to sell us out or not.

Cottage cheese and fruit in general, but I’m partial to pineapple chunks. So good.

So… they think it will… vaccinate them?

I bet Kristi Noem wouldn’t have stood for this.

Name one nasty lie you sack of shit.

If he believes that Zoom is generating a background for him (say… because its fuzzy around his head), without giving any thought to whether or not the background might represent the actual real room the guy currently sits in, then he does have a justified true belief. But he lacks the knowledge that it is actually the guy’s room and that the background would be the same whether Zoom was acting as an intermediary or not.

So I understand the ultra-rich’s way of doing business now is to never realize gains but rather take loans against a percentage of their unrealized gains (backed of course, by the unrealized gains themselves) and spend that money rather than ever make any income. Does anybody know of any good ideas to handle that type of scenario?

Smith was speaking shortly before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits China on Wednesday. He’s expected to warn Chinese officials not to provide aid to Russia.

Or else they’re going to get a very stern talking to.

And birth control.

Yeah my whole family done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me
Is my dear old granddad

Every one of these people:

I am confused. I realize this is just a flag change not even a dev problem but PEBKAC, still - in the event of an actual bug, why wouldn’t Microsoft have a dev contribute to the project and fix it instead of just opening a ticket?

OK, you’re right and I really hate that paradigm. But didn’t I hear something like these boats being led out of the bay are under the control of local crew (not company crew) until they get to open water? Also something about doing this without a tug escort? I wonder if there is more to this story other than yet another bad corporate actor.

I marvel that Putin plays with fire like this. Yeah, sure, a Nazi America would make Russia so much safer…

Everybody is blaming SEO, which is true - but Google is also hamstrung by walled gardens.

Before Facebook, most content posted to the web was open. It could be viewed by anyone without logging in. Reddit even uses this paradigm.

But then Facebook started putting everything behind their account login and suddenly, Google can no longer spider a significant amount of the conversation going on on the Internet - and it can’t link you to it either, because the link would be dead if you weren’t a logged-in Facebook user. And of course it’s not just Facebook.

This is why appending site:reddit.com has come into fashion in the past couple years. Reddit, being open, viewable without a login, is a fantastic source for finding people who are talking about exactly what you’re searching for.

And it’s another reason why Meta is cancer: all the conversations going on about whatever problem you are experiencing that made you do a search in the first place, if they exist in private groups on something like Facebook - they are useless to you and useless to anyone but the members of that private group. We are losing our giant public knowledge base because capitalism.

I’m a simple man. I see Weird Al, I upvote.
