  • Donald Trump, who has been on a mission to strip transgender people of all dignity, complains ‘everything is transgender'

    Jump

  • The important thing is that we all should have to be submitted to degrading invasive sex organ checks at the airport. It's only reasonable that the government know exactly which bits we have and how we use them. (This is sarcasm.)

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Jump

  • I'm with you on all of this, but there's no need to stop at 50% with a marginal tax. Keep going up until 99%, and then start adding .9s.

    Jump

  • I think anyone should only be allowed to own, say, $10 million in assets.

    Agreed. And I'm willing to let them have an annual cost of living adjustment of exactly the same percentage that minimum wage goes up by.

  • Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • Is this happening so often that it requires a law?

    Not in any amount worth anyone's energy.

    Why not put that money, time, and effort into providing sexual education so people better understand how to not get pregnant, reducing the occurrence of abortions?

    Because the law must have those it binds, but does not protect..

    It's wild how often it helps answer "why are they doing this?!"

  • And that's why Sen. Stan Gerdes had all those URLs in their browser history!

  • Planet Definitions

    Jump

  • What is "surface"?

    In this context, I believe this is limiting to planets whose water is not deep inside the planet's crust somewhere, but exposed to its atmosphere.

  • Alternative to GoogleTV - AndroidTV

    Jump

  • I typically solve this by:

    1. Factory reset the Smart TV to take it offline.
    2. Install Android TV on a Raspberry Pi and connect it.
    3. Mount the Raspberry Pi to the back of the TV with some Velcro tape.

    The result is most of the convenience of a Roku with none of the privacy concerns.

    And as others have said, JellyFin is a great addition for watching home movies, or any other Mp3 or MP4 files.

    But also, the most Android streaming apps just work.

    As of when I posted this:

    • Disney+ works now.
    • DropOut.tv works now.
    • Netflix worked last time I tried it.
    • Amazon Prime worked last time I tried it.
    • Paramount Plus doesn't work no matter what I try. (But I'm not willing to add Google Framework Service, which would likely work.)

    Paramount Plus also has more trackers in it than any other Android app I've used, so I tend to avoid sending them money anyway.

  • CISA: We didn't fire red teams, just unhired some of them

    Jump

  • So CISA released a statement that says absolutely fucking nothing.

    I would have more respect remaining for them if they had the wisdom to shut up and let Musk take credit for all the stupid.

    I guess they decided together the doublespeak department is too important to cut.

  • What Did You Do Last Week

    Jump

  • Good for you. Wages aren't keeping up with inflation, but our leaders need to ask everyone if they're working hard enough.

    I'm not sure this turns out fine for them. A lot of what Elon does is illegal, and he thinks that the courts will never catch up with him because he will always be one of the richest people around, and will always be popular. History suggests, he will get some justice for his bullshit. Probably not what is fair, but a lot more than he expects.

    In the meantime, wishing you all the best.

  • Is it wrong to put your career first and push getting into a relationship further later?

    Jump

  • I've gotten the most interest from others when I've been focused on my own goals, anyway.

    Try to relax and enjoy the ride. Relaxed people are attractive.

    Trust your future self to make good dating choices, when the opportunity arrives.

    That said, it took me awhile to wise up and establish some very basic fashion sense.

    If I could tell my past self one thing about dating, it would be:

    Classic looks never go out of style, but "not even trying" never goes into style.

    I took too long to figure that one out.

  • LinkedIn 'Easy Apply'

    Jump

  • I have not.

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Jump

  • Another discussion point that always comes up is "Jeff Bezos can't pay that tax rate, it's all tied up in shares of Amazon. He would have to sell huge portions of Amazon to keep up with the taxes."

    And yes. That is the intent.

    But I'm not upset if folks would rather just eat him than deal with the logistics of it.

  • Recent examples of companies increasing exec pay and firing workers?

    Jump

  • Might be easiest just to look up which ones aren't publicly traded on the stock market - which are the only ones that might not be doing that crap.

  • Campaign to bar under-14s from having smartphones signed by 100,000 parents

    Jump

  • If they ban smart phones, how will I teach my children to worship Satan?

    I guess I might still have my D&D books somewhere around.

    (This is a sarcastic reference to a judges excellent comparison. Also, I know exactly where my D&D books are. Also, I haven't gotten to the Satan worship yet, if it is in my D&D books. Maybe I missed a rule.)

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Jump

  • Hold a silent reverse auction. Whichever billionaires agree to the highest tax rate don't get eaten. The new billionaire tax rate is whatever the uneaten billionaires agreed to.

    Edit: Also, roll 4d10+50 and add it as a secret bid. If it happens to be the highest bid, eat all of the billionaires. This roll is the "public option" to prevent the billionaires from colluding to cheat the system.

  • Judge Uses D&D’s Failure To Make Him Worship Satan To School Florida On Social Media Moral Panics

    Jump

  • MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

    THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

    Delightful.

  • RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’

    Jump

  • That's what the media cycles misses. There's been no better time in history to be a rich uninformed idiot. History will look back on this as the golden age of the rich idiot

  • House hearing abruptly ends after GOP lawmaker misgenders Sarah McBride

    Jump

  • Agreed. We can all give each-other a break for misgendering by mistake. But this was pretty clearly an intentional asshole. They even repeated it and defended it after being given a chance in case it was a mistake.)
