They shook hands and unanimously approved (booker too) more weapons for the genocide immediately after the performance.

the same way thurmond did it; you secure the votes behinds the scenes and then throw a filibuster when it’s time to vote to turn up the pain; not when there’s nothing on the table and no one around like booker did it.

they elected oz in the very next session; using a filibuster to prevent his confirmation is how you use a filibuster effectively.

so basically the equivalent of the 1.5 bouts of cancer under american healthcare pricing.

i wonder if it’ll save any time/space if you make iso images from your bluray’s with something like dd and mount them when you want to play them, instead of ripping their contents.

same here on both counts.

i created a convincing lcars interface based on enlightenment 20-ish years ago and it would take on a whole new level of enjoyment nowadays with a touchscreen laptop; i could pretend that i have a padd. lol

that part of my comment was meant to be a self indictment/reflection; i’m a bit of a linux cuck since i’ve adapted myself to fit ordinary distros’ designs instead of creating something that works for me. lol

that’s why i marvel at people who do the needful that i should be doing, like here.

it’s nice to see people are still doing this; bravo!

i’ve also intended to try my hand at this, but my inner masochist is too lazy for it. lol

i guess that red “A” next to your username stands for anachy, then. lol

one already has

my old email address was in the settings page, so i presumed that i had used that to sign up when i created this account and it’s probably a matter of time until mozilla’s password manager gets compromised and leaks my password, but even then i have a hard time imagining how a dark web user or my government could benefit from it.

thanks for answering my question.

that could explain why the confirmation doesn’t work if an email address is not required.

i click the link from my email inbox; it open lemmy.ml; and then the spiny circle just keeps spinning with no feedback of anykind. i have to close the browser tab to do anything else.

it’s like dracula; dying over and over again.

you’re nicer than i am; i just send them a link to my github/gitlab repo’s and then COMPLETELY check out.

i’ve been using openai for a while and i started working with copilot last month and it’s so comparatively bad that it’s hard to image a viable world of semi-coders using it.

The most effective one I know I call “eating the breadcrumbs”

First I follow the breadcrumbs since Neurotypicals and some neurodivergents like talking about themselves and I listen for indicators of things they like and respond w questions that align w them.

Then I eat the breadcrumbs by maintaining a practiced look upon my face that seems like I’m enjoying a snack and pursue each chance I get to make a joke so that I can actually enjoy the conversation. (Alcohol helps A LOT with this part).

It’s a lot like social masking, but it’s targeted at an individual and w a bit more depth instead of a just a public facade.

It’s also more draining than ordinary masking; so I mostly use it in social situations than I know will replenish my energy.

popular opinion is one thing; those people appear to be willfully ignoring reality.

there was a post yesterday on asklemmy from someone who wanted to escape fascism by going to italy and i got downvoted for trying to make them aware that italy is doing the same shit, like this posts describes.

i wish i could understand why they assumed that italy isn’t fascist when they literally elected a fascist leader and made worse anti-lgbt laws than the americans have done (so far).

some part of me hopes that microsoft will enshitify github enough to enable decentralization like this like reddit did to enable lemmy adoption and twitter did for discord adoption.
