They really do. Some speech is more free than others.

Okay you just described my last dungeon event.

I’ve gone backwards. When I had nothing but time, I did fedora bleeding edge. Moved to ubuntu for almost 10+ years. Moved to Linux Mint last year and debating moving back to Ubuntu.

I worked with an accountant for years and he got his ass bit by some asshole who left him a negative, and false, review.

He added a clause on renewal contracts with new language saying you won’t leave a negative review and to arbitration.

I told him I’m not signing this. I never leave reviews and I understand he’s trying to mitigate his losses and force arbitration but I told him that it wasn’t going to work.

The thing is that MLK’s legacy, while absolutely awesome, has been appropriated by whites and we’re constantly told “he was one of the good ones”. Many of MLK’s false advocates will conveniently forget that he was the target of the FBI for sowing civil disobedience.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.

But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.

They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

It’s always two weeks.

Just remember why they do this.

Can you remember what shit Trump said two weeks ago?

They don’t expect you to follow up. Reporters have stopped keeping track.

Would TSMC be considered a competitor to AMD?

double checks the community instance

Yes…prison

Another friendly reminder that PayPal is not a bank. They don’t carry FDIC insurance. They aren’t regulated like a bank and you agree that they can do fuck all to your money at any time for any reason or no reason.

In other words,

STOP USING PAYPAL!

It’s only spyware if Google can’t monetize it. Which is ironic if you think about it.

Which is why I think the next big step is a blogsite that actually covers these without feeling like you are just reading a guy’s wank diary

There is a site that I frequent but due to this community’s instance rules, I won’t post it here.

The site is more of a forum/community than a blog but it’s pretty good.

The biggest issue with adult content in games is that it limits your market to adults that want that content. Which is already small to begin with. And you often can’t advertise the same way, which limits your audience further. You only find out about them through word of mouth or through places like Lemmy.

From the standpoint of the developer, your ROI is likely to be very small. I think that’s why VN are the most popular form of adult games, since they are easier to make than full games.

I didn’t know Kickstarter employees had a union.

I hope they get it. Hell, I’d ask for a 3 day work week now.

I always did mine on the upper left.

My concern is that Reddit can sell their profiling algorithm to other companies, who then can federate with Lemmy, mastodon, etc. to build profiles against users.

It’s getting to the point where I may need to go back to cycling usernames every few years.

Yes, this is a good exception. The gym is great for showers and other bathing options if you do not have the facilities.

Some people believe (falsely) that buying a membership will incentivize them to go more often.

As someone who has struggled with weight loss but is in better shape than I was a few years ago:

• if you want to lose weight, dieting is REQUIRED. You simply won’t burn enough calories in a day even with exercise to lose weight.
• the gym is for people who want to swim, or if it’s too cold, or if you require special equipment (rowing machine, etc.). Just about any exercise you can do at the gym you can do at home with dumbbells you can buy at Good Will
• consistency is better than intensity. If you work out everyday, even if it’s 5 minutes, that’s better than you skipping a day here or there. Be consistent and build your strength slowly
• DON’T tell people you’re trying to lose weight. There is psychology out there that says that doing so will short circuit your reward dopamine with people encouraging you
• there is no short cut to losing weight and keeping it off. If you lose weight fast, you’ll gain it back fast. If you lose it slow, you’ll likely keep it off.
• don’t wait until the new year to lose weight or exercise. Start now. Even if it’s 5 minutes, just do it.

“Payment system” makes it sound like a replacement for PayPal or Stripe.

But it’s really a replacement for ko-fi or buy me a coffee.

I want to see how they handle PCI data but this seems promising.

I fully suspect some billionaire will invent “vibe repairing”.
