The first message I got I asked if I knew them and got zero response.

Hold them in contempt. Put them in jail for a few days, then declare a mistrial due to incompetent counsel. For repeat offenders, file a formal complaint to the state bar.

The issue isn’t messaging, the issue is policies. Democrats don’t have policy prescriptions that do anything for the majority of people. If Harris and every democrat running for congress had unified around universal healthcare, she would be president and we’d have a democratic majority in the house and senate. Instead we got milquetoast bullshit along with “orange man bad” and then screaming at anyone who dared to criticize the candidates.

He played a very believable serial killer in Dexter, and before Third Rock From the Sun he was largely known for his dramatic roles.

You should tell Jamie Loftus, she just did an episode of her podcast about the backrooms.

Well now I’m glad I’ve never bought a kindle book.

I’m curious what kind of human contact you’ve “tried” that didn’t work. There’s a world of difference between contact that is mediated through the context of work or planned leisure activities with relative strangers and organic meaningful interaction. Humans need to be social and feel useful to those around them. If that is lacking in your life, I suggest volunteering somewhere. Your local humane society almost certainly needs volunteers who can wash dogs and cats, or help visitors interact with the animals. Or there are likely a number of places you can volunteer to help people who are hungry or unhoused.

Thanks for all the info, it’s really helpful!

I didn’t get that at all from the OP, what I saw was “every bit matters so keep fighting.”

That doesn’t seem that complicated. Just functional polyamory.

Maybe 30% of ICE personnel would understand that being the gestapo represents a “branding problem,” maybe 1% are ethical enough to feel bad about it but not enough to quit.

That seems overly complicated and counterproductive. How can ICE watch you fuck its mother if it’s sucking your balls? They should do that after you fuck its mother.

I can’t either, looks like this is just for reading.

This would be a salient point if Gaiman was being thrown in prison. Any business entity he has dealings with is absolutely free to say “we don’t want to be associated with someone who has been accused.”

Sam Altman is a hack and a fraud. He’s on the wrong side of everything.

Uni jetstream edge .28 mm. Uses an oil-based ink that doesn’t smear if it gets wet. Feels good in the hand too.

Also, the rOtring ballpoint pens.

Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp are important. Imagine if Gmail didn’t allow you to use other email clients, you had to use a google made app or the web interface. Would that be a write-off as “not important”?

Docker is not simple or intuitive for someone who is not already a sysadmin.

This is something that I hope fediverse developers and OSS developers start focusing on: making installation and self-hosting much simpler. Currently trying to set up self-hosted anything is a gigantic pain in the ass if you’re not already an experienced sysadmin.

Probably a “friend” of the Iranian state elsewhere in the Middle East. I’m sure there are Saudi finance people who would happily take a 20% commission on passing that payment along.
