Wait do the nuns bugger? Thought that was only the preists.

Tbf there’s that one tv show about that one island in canada or something that had buried treasure and a bunch of traps but then it turned out the treasure had already been found and they think a freed slave found it when he bought the island back in the day or something like that.

Admittedly I’ve only seen one episode, a friend who watched it filled in the details on where it went lol.

This feels like it’s supposed to be tongue in cheek, but it’s too close to reality tbh.

BEST reason, I miss my Zune so much, they ruled.

It literally was started by Chinese people in China as an insult to Xi specifically. It isn’t racist, it isn’t applied to all Chinese people, it isn’t even “because Pooh is yellow.” People saying it is racist are just looking for a way to shut down criticisms of Xi, and crying “that’s racist” often bypasses people’s critical thinking abilities and makes them just capitulate because “well I don’t want to be seen as racist and I’m not the race in question so I don’t have the authority to decide if it is or isn’t.”

Could it be used in a racist way by some racist person who doesn’t understand the context? Sure. Does that mean “the act of making fun of a specific despotic dictator by using a children’s character he happens to resemble” is racist? No.

Oh good yet another remake of a classic. Just what we needed, more remakes, we didn’t have enough of those.

Is there a version of $_ that works with mv? It just keeps renaming my files to “filedir,” I’m trying sort through a directory and move some files to another for keeping, be easier if I could do:

mv picture1.jpg /path/to/keepdirectory

then do something like

mv picture2.jpg $_

And so on. But with that I’d just be renaming all my photos “filedir” instead of moving them lol.

Yeah, pretty much. “Buffalo” sauce is literally average hot sauce (like Texas Pete, Tabasco, Louisiana, Crystal, etc, that style of cayanne-and-vinegar sauce) mixed with butter to cut the heat, it isn’t hot.

The cheese is less hot than the OG btw, and don’t even bother with the 2x hot in the red/black package. Don’t get me wrong, they are hot to me too, I just like it.

Yeah they deleted an acct of mine for inactivity, then when I replaced it they flagged the new one for manual review saying “this addr cannot send/receive emails until it is cleared, please email us at [support acct] using [the very acct that cannot send mail, ffs].” Like dude how can I email you from the email on your servers that you have blocked from sending email? How does that make sense to you?

Anyway I made a Disroot acct which is better for me because IMAP support. They flagged me for review too, but then approved TWO different emails without all that horse shit from Tuta. Their sign up site can be a bit confusing (in particular their “human check” just says “weak password” unless you hit the character count so just max that out, but as a result of this confusion I’m using a 64char long randomly generated pass so, yay) but other than that they’ve been great so far.

Well that depends on many things actually, this isn’t exactly true.

In the case of sites like reddit, it’s mostly through mail, meaning it would have to be mailed from an FFL to one near you where they do a background check. If it’s in person, that still depends on state laws, some allow it, some allow rifles but handguns must be NICS checked, in some states it must go through NICS.

Fun fact: in America most common brands of both honey AND maple syrup are just flavored high fructose corn syrup. It’s not like we don’t have the real stuff on the same shelf, but you have to pay attention to the labels or you might get some bullshit.

Not that I saw and that’s my biggest problem with it, email isn’t going anywhere. I can not use it to talk to my friends and family, sure, but I can’t get away from using it in conjunction with like, websites or some government things, etc.

Furthermore as far as chat apps go, there’s not really a perfect one either:

Signal’s phone number requirement (and maybe they fixed this part, but back when it had sms if someone deleted the app without deleting their profile first, my messages would still get sent to signal and since they don’t have the app installed anymore I lose contact with them, and there was no way to force it to use sms, happened with like 4 contacts). I think a couple other issues I can’t recall while shitting at work right now too.

Matrix was started at Amdocs which is sketchy as fuck and associated with mossad, all the apps suck, and it’s too hard for normals to use (I know, “get gud,” they won’t.) Leaks metadata like a seive, too.

Jabber is cool, but also not perfect, there’s issues with OMEMO implementations, and Conversations eats too much battery without play services. Still metadata too.

Delta Chat is what I’m trying now, but it’s PGP based. Absolutely love it other than that though. At least they’re attempting to reduce metadata but there’s still some by nature of needing to know sender/recipient.

If anyone has a better suggestion for chat apps, I’m all ears, but that still doesn’t solve the problem of email’s ubiquity, either. If this blogger proposed a solution, I missed it, but until there is one and it gets adopted this is just what it is.

Walmart “we’re noticing a large increase in theft of the products we’re trying to gouge people on, strange.”

Didn’t the US just kidnap Modretro?

Tbf I carry the pepper spray for the dogs, that’s where its effectiveness really shines, they can’t really fight through it like people can. Also for use against people without weapons if deescalation fails, and hope they’ve never been to prison or the military (they’ll be used to it).

The gun is for the people with weapons.

Lucky you!

I have. Luckily I didn’t have to pull it though, I just put my hand on it and the guy holding the knife at me decided “I’ll catch the next one” and walked away.

It’s actually the opposite, TBirdMobile is a fork of K9 (and it’s basically just reskinned blue for now lol), they currently have feature parity but at some point (supposedly already, but I guess they delayed it because K9 got an update a couple months ago) K9 is set to stop receiving updates as they fully switch over to TBird.

I also love K9, been using it since ~2012.

At least for now, it is just blue K9, but so help me if Mozilla hurts my sweet app I’m gonna throw a fit lol.

Another bump for antennapod, haven’t found a better podcast app yet and I have tried a few just to see.

Also Delta Chat, I have recently been trying it out through the Arcane Chat app (same dev, Arcane seems to be his feature testing grounds) and I love it so far. It’s easy enough to use I was able to get my mom on it, can’t say that for XMPP or Matrix! I’m sure it’s got its own problems, no forward secrecy, metadata (which to my knowledge every messaging app has by virtue of how “messages” work, even snail mail, it has to know who to go to), but then again Delta wasn’t started as an Amdocs (mossad associated company that infiltrated US telcom) product like the Matrix Foundation, so I trust it more for now. And Delta/Arcane uses so much less battery than Conversations does when running GrapheneOS, like by a LOT. I just checked, Conversations has eaten 20% of my charge since full, Arcane Chat has used less than 1% despite having the same screen/background times and same number of messages sent/received on both.

LOL tbh I can see it, they look similar in those pics.

They’ve famously been seen in the same room together though, so there goes that theory.

Remember to bring clean period correct cash.
