  • Well you also have corporations as non-human people, according to our illustrious top legal minds.

    Granted, those "people" exist so that profits can be passed to the billionaires while liabilities are not

  • While whispering to himself "a warrior's energy drink"

  • And yet, if you paint the steamroller a gaudy fake gold color and have it being driven by every conservative you've heard about in the last year, it gets way more true!

    I'm an old straight white guy with a pretty normie-looking family, and I know damn well that almost every LGBT+ person out there shares more of my values and gives more of a shit about my marriage than the conservative grifters out there.

  • This could be a completely serious Orphan Crushing Machine solution in the minds of conservative basic dickheads.

  • Thanks for continuing to put in the volunteer hours to keep this little corner of the internet running and keeping it from being used for harm where possible.

    I get that in the world we live in, many people are going to be primed to react harshly to "monitoring" wrapped in language about how it will help us. But considering the source, the public context, and the motivations involved, nah.

  • Debian + KDE Plasma got me to switch over from Mint. It just feels right.

    There have been a LOT of updates recently though. Normally I update pretty often because part of the reason for using Debian is my expectation that an update has been pretty thoroughly vetted before it gets pushed out to stable, and that stability/reliability is one of the priorities of the distro.

    I just hope that holds true, and that if LLMs are involved it's those cases where they stumble upon an obscure security flaw that humans confirm.

  • I finally splurged last year and got an electric pole chainsaw, plus a hedge trimmer head that swaps on to it.

    Clearing brush with a hedge trimmer on a stick is next-level satisfying.

  • Lord of the clamps, teach us your ways!

  • Oh yeah, having a reciprocating saw can really come in handy, but having a circular saw and an impact driver is absolutely worth it for building stuff.

  • My son's pediatrician hates RFK Jr with the fire of a thousand suns, and I love him for it.

    At multiple appointments I've intentionally made humorous references to stupid health/rfk stuff from the news. He stays totally professional, but he is also obviously relieved that he can safely roll his eyes and let off some steam about the level of stupid in the world.

  • Somebody got snu-snu on the mind!

  • username checks out. You are obviously australian, and obviously smarter than everybody else!

  • For only $299 you can get the premium model that has a gold ring on one of the fingers.

  • My wife has Schrödinger's ears.

    We are in the same room:

    me: "hey hon" ... "honeyyy" ... "sweetie the house is on fire" ... "the dog invented a time machine" ...

    But when she is on the other side of the house:

    me to kid: "here's your cereal, buddy" wife: "WHAAAAAT?"

    I get to have some fun with it, at least.

  • That's the fun side effect of NOTHING mattering except revenue and engagement.

    They don't care what's right or how their companies will look in the history books. They just care about finding the path of least risk to shareholder value.

  • Well at least the photographer probably had plenty of time to get shots of that indecisive asshole.

  • Back 'round the turn of the century I had an ancient car with a dying starter.

    It was a manual, so sure I could start it on a hill. But sometimes you just have to whack the starter itself and it will work!

    I think I went months with a straight wooden axe/sledgehammer handle in the trunk as my starter starter until I replaced it.

  • I will do that! It might be a while, who knows.

    Do you have anything specific you have started, or have started eyeing up?
