I think Tasker could do this, but it is paid app. Good app tho, highly recommend if you want to automate anything

Freefall , to mildlyinfuriating in "Quick" security check... I had to do 15 of these...

Just ask chatGPT, it can solve capchas faster than a person. Set up a script and boom, no more capchas issues.

Unquote0270 , to books in What are you currently reading? (09/06/2024)

Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven’t read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.

Honestly. I kinda would have liked to try concord, but I sure as shit wasn’t going to pay to try it.

Also Britain in the Canadian colonies in 1812.

To be fair, most of those were also “Spain” at the time.

Maggoty ,

They were native, they just didn’t know they were American yet.

They were just called Unhoused Spiders back then.

Temporarily Unhoused Spiders

gibmiser ,

Use your spider-centered language folks!

It should be: Spiders who are temporarily experiencing homelessness.

Do military bases count?

lettruthout ,

Yeah, why go through the trouble of installing a puppet government when we can offer “assistance” with a military base? How many hundred bases are there around the world now? And have any been decommissioned ever?

HowManyNimons , to science_memes in House spiders

Folks say they belong in houses and we shouldn’t put them outside.

adespoton ,

Folks say all sorts of things.

Personally, I’m fine with house spiders as long as they do their job AND don’t start laying eggs indoors.

Don’t nest where you hunt, house spiders. It never ends well.

So funny when a corpo is forced to seem positive about something where there is absolutely no positive way of spinning it. It has this surreal energy where the person doing PR seems almost uncanny, like some kind of lizard person.

The US owns a bunch of Caribbean “territories” that they still won’t make into US states. Their citizens are US citizens, but can’t vote.

EDIT: The current US itself was carved out of territories owned by Mexico, France, and England (which took them from Native American tribes). Back in the day, we conquered and stole a bunch of land, both from natives and from other invading countries.

But we’ve been more interested in foreign politics since WWII and less about expanding our own land. Besides, why own a bunch of foreign soil when we can just set up outposts around the globe and have a military frontline anywhere? I served in the US military and we have so many bases scattered around every region of the globe. We can literally involve ourselves in any global conflict we want to within a day or two. Meanwhile, our actual homeland is isolated on the other side of the planet, where it’s difficult for foreign invaders to touch us.
