Ecco the dolphin

It’s also untrue.

Watch: Fuck

Much appreciated. Haven’t found any time to read anything, regrettably, but I have bookmarked your lists!

Part of the sign up process I went through was to copy a line from something Marx wrote (can’t remember now I’m a bad communist) to be approved for an account.

Maybe it wasn’t like that in the past but it was made clear in the sign up processs that the admins are ML communists and run their instance with those beliefs informing their moderation decisions.

I’m not trans but the texture of your hair looks like mine. I struggle with it being unruly and frizzy, so up until recently I had been keeping it short or in a bun or something.

What I found worked for me was to try to only detangle my hair in the shower with a wide-toothed comb while it is wet. I use conditioner to help me detangle it.

I let my hair air dry now instead of blow drying it. Apparently my hair dryer came with an attachment called a “diffuser” that I should have been using. I lost it.

I wash my hair once about every 3 days with shampoo. On non-wash days I keep it in a shower cap when I take a shower so I don’t have to blow dry it and avoid the frizz. So, my hair is only ever wet once every 3 days or so.

If my hair looks greasy on non-wash days I use dry shampoo on my roots.

I keep my hair braided when I go to sleep so it doesn’t tangle and I keep the brushing I need to while dry at an absolute minimum. I still brush it when dry if I have to. Those days I usually put my hair up in a pony, or half up half down to manage the frizz.

This help me cut down on the frizz and helped me stop fighting the natural texture of my hair. My hair is longer than yours and I have ended up spending a lot of time taking care of it. Think of chopping it off again honestly.

Anyway I typed more than I meant but I hope that was helpful. I can’t speak to advice about finding an aesthetic, can’t say I really have one myself. Maybe this is all off topic…

Thank you for the thorough answer, this is what I was looking for.

Where do you draw the line?

I’m asking if its good or if its edgelord shovelware.

Have you played it?

So you’re saying this game is a work of art that will endure the ages? Worthy of hundreds of years of praise?

Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.

Is this just a game for edgelords or is there something compelling under that mess of a description?

Edit: We don’t have to pretend every game is art - there’s crap out there. I’m asking if anybody thinks this thing has redeeming qualities based on actual information about the game, not hypotheticals.

Idk what you mean “no significant features”. I definitely needed AI integration in notepad.exe.

Tbh I’m not even sure the app is breaking any laws at all. Reporting on the presence of law enforcement is (not always but sometimes) protected speech here. I don’t use the app, and I haven’t heard that they are trying to arrest anyone in regards to it.

Honestly though… Have you thought through everything you’re saying? Sheltering Jewish people during the holocaust was illegal in Germany.

Anyway, have a nice day, those are my thoughts.

I don’t want to drag this conversation into American politics, but I will say ICE has been doing things against USA law. Things are not great here. Even noncitizens have rights that need to be respected, and ICE is failing to do that. They have also arrested lawful residents, citizens too, in their sweeps.

The ICE tracker app is a protest app/ direct action sort of thing, not a tool for criminality. Surely you can see the value of being able to use technology to resist a tyrannical government?

By the way, do you want the USA government to potentially control which software can be installed on your phone? Google is an American company. USA courts could decide (international company) is violating (American IP law or something else) and instruct Google to disallow their app from being installed entirely.

They can pull apps off the app store now, and they do that, but currently you can still side load stuff.

I think that other guy’s comment about the ICE tracker app really highlights the most important problem: If only signed apps can run, governments can pressure companies to remove access to certain apps. Even if Google allowed posting the app, the author would have to de-anonymize himself, and Google would have to comply with the law if they were subpoenaed. They would definitely give up the author’s name. It is an issue of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to do with your device what you choose to do with it. You might not have a use for it (right now) but it’s not necessarily something you’d want to give up.

And, honestly, I would personally be affected by this, eventually. I use an app called NewPipe to watch youtube. It already isn’t available on the app store (violates google’s ToS), and I doubt they’d let people install this even if the author properly identified themselves, because I use it to avoid watching adds and to be able to “subscribe” to channels without an account. I could just borrow my husband’s premium subscription, I guess, but I really only use NewPipe to watch certain things, and it lacks the algorithmically driven feed (which I am actively avoiding, Google tends to suggest things that make you angry for clicks).

As a user, you should be upset that a private company is controlling how you are allowed to use your device that you paid for with your money.

This would be like if Microsoft decided you could only run Microsoft-approved code on a computer you purchased, in some cases with a locked bootloader so you can’t even change your OS.

Also, Google is (imho) already operating unethically when it comes to the app store (See Google v. Epic). I don’t care about Fortnite, but Google really shouldn’t be able to take a cut of random services just because it’s running on Android.

I bought a refirb Chromebook with an Intel CPU for $150 and put Debian on it.

Its a piece of shit, but I feel like a technology racoon. Its also lightweight. I do my homework on it.

Speakers don’t work tho, but it’s OK thats what headphones are for.

You could just go cheap until u find something perfect.

Prentending to be hackerman is a legit usecase IMHO. They do seem like fun, but I personally can’t justify the cost.

I would definitely play with one if I had one

I refuse to believe this title is anything other than engagement-bait, personally.

In a poly relationship with n members, there will be 2^n - n - 1 interpersonal relationships in play.

This is the cardinality of the power set of n, minus the number of singleton sets and the empty set.

Thought i would mention it, just in case you needed a quick way to calculate the number of relationships in ur polycule for ur therapist.

I think it’s notable what they didn’t find. No guns, weapons. No plane tickets. No bombs or bomb making equipment. No actual real plans, just aimless searches. This guy is young. You can find a picture of this guy online (I’m not going to link it. I think these sorts of sites should be illegal tbh).

My guess:

• Mentally ill, possibly mentally disabled
• Lives with mom/dad etc, probably unemployed or unable to find a “good” job (Not a moral failing. American society is not giving many options for young adults to live “complete” lives).
• Mom/dad/whoever notices how angry he is and installs a keylogger, because they don’t want him to become a mass shooter, and he’s a grown man still on Roblox.
• Immediately confesses everything to FBI

This guy needs a mental health intervention, not jail time. I have a hard time believing he is much of a public threat since they listed all the cool stuff they found in his house in the FBI charging documents but no guns/etc. This guy didn’t have a plan.

Highly recommend this podcast episode from Reveal: Lessons From a Mass Shooter’s Mother

Idk man, having down syndrome also gives you a much greater chance of things like heart defects. Life expectancy has improved recently to 50-60yrs old for them according to a quick search. I don’t think there’s a dilemma here at all. I wouldn’t want a disease that decreases my lifespan.
