Remember kids, Juggalo makeup defeats facial recognition. Woop woop!

If you can point out to republican voters how the DMCA fucks them too, you can bury your shitty GOP rep in calls and letters which might make them change.

Maybe.

Regarding the social network piece, I’d like to see a push in the worldwide OSS community to make an installer for self hosted federated services. I know it’s not realistic to make that completely push-button, but something that will take local machine config and connection information and then configure docker and the necessary containers for whatever services the person wants to host.

I’d start the project myself but my coding ability amounts to only a little more than hello world in a couple languages.

I mean, that looks like an air traffic control tower, so there may very well be people in there. Just not “tenants” in the strictest sense.

I annoyed the friend who introduced me to Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I would frequently predict plot twists and even specific lines in the show on my first watch through.

That’s in the comics. We’re talking about the movies, where the personification of death is not a factor.

Because it’s a pretty dumb story at its core. Because they wanted the “worst villain” but couldn’t come up with something more interesting or intelligent than “misguided environmental terrorist.”

Suicidal Ideation Coffee

I never played RDR2 because I played 1 and GTA 4 and I just don’t like how Rockstar games play.

Honestly impressive for a 20+ year-old game to still inspire hot takes.HL2 remains undefeated.

This is kind of tangential to the question, but an incredibly irritating former friend would not shut the fuck up about Elden Ring for months after it came out and kept telling me to get it. I told him I didn’t like souls-like games and he said ER was “different” without explaining how. I still haven’t played it, even with recommendations from other people I trust. Same guy ensured I’ll never play Death Stranding, too.

The issue with that is the toxic/racist/homophobic/transphobic people will by their behavior push out people who would otherwise contribute to development of projects. To have a big tent you can’t tacitly accept bigotry.

Even if the images were real, I see a woman using her first amendment right to speech and assembly being assaulted by someone who has sworn to uphold the constitution.

Removed by mod

I think pushing the button on a Casio keyboard is more akin to tracing your favorite comics panel than using an LLM image generator.

And of course health insurance wouldn’t cover it because it’s “elective”.

Seems like that would be an argument for liposuction as a way to supplement other weight loss because it would remove those cells.

I would argue that this is not really true under capitalism. The logic of capitalism is one of capital accumulation, which requires growth. Under other systems you still have markets and money and profits but there are other goals than the accumulation of capital and therefore achieving “homeostasis” is a successful strategy-a business run with consistent inputs and outputs which includes a sustainable profit.

Impossible to tell. Your brain is how it is, rather than worry about what you cannot change, think about what you want to do and how to do it. If you are experiencing cognitive issues or emotional distress that you think might be a long term effect of your young drinking, talk to a therapist or your doctor about how to address those issues now.

Rafael Edward Cruz, you mean?
