Trying to have a green lawn in a desert is pretty fucking stupid, you ask me.

Rock gardens are low maintenance.

But it’s even dumber trying to grow water intestines intensive crops in a fucking desert

Of course they need a bigger one. They haven’t spontaneously created a world-ending black hole yet.

(Actually? They should build one looping around the meridians. Maybe build a turret at each pole. You know. In case aliens show up. )

Secret confession time… don’t tell my players….

Sometimes I put a cat on the map and when they get close to it, do a “random” awareness check for shits and giggles.

Depends on my mood?

Once the cat decided to adopt the humans (and conveniently eats all their snacks and maybe chugs their potions?)

(They may have fed the cat.)

My parents used to have a dachshund that would sneak in and wedge herself in between his leg and the armrest.

Mouse pad extraordinaire. When they switched to a new recliner, should a seen her look of disgust when her bum didn’t fit. Not that she didn’t try.

Some cats can tolerate it just fine. Most are lactose intolerant.

Doesn’t stop cats from loving dairy, though. (It’s the fat. They like the fat.)

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I mean. ICE CREAM.

there’s really nothing like a full fat custard ice cream. I’m just saying. pure heaven in a bowl. or on a cone. or whatever.

even if they make entirely non-dairy versions… or whatever… it’s just not the same. Definitely can’t blame the kitties. Humans have cravings that make absolutely zero sense. Like the majority of fast food joints. ew.

(also the fat and protein in dairy means it shouldn’t be all that regular, or very moderate, if that makes sense? but even if they’re not latose tolerant- which is unlikely- some low-lactose dairy might be okay. if you’re okay with dealing with the shits.)

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

depends. are you into that?

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

If you’re going to a frozen custard joint, I recommend strawberry concretes with hot fudge on top (as in, not mixed in. might take some explaining when you’re ordering.)

For those wondering, a concrete is just a shake that’s a lot thicker than a shake. (ostensibly, some kid kept asking for it to be thicker and thicker, and the frozen custard guy obliged, and at one point made it thick enough that it was ‘like concrete’, and also, able to be flipped upside down and not run out.)

You know, at a certain point, if he doesn’t shut up, it crossed the line into justification for his assassination.

I don’t know where that line is, and quite honestly, I hope we don’t have to find out because the last thing we need is that guy as a martyr.

But I really hope he shuts the fuck up.

I’m an eloquent motherfucker, but I don’t have sufficient words to express my contempt for Trump.

words aren’t the only form of communication. Punching him in the face would certainly be adequate… and therefore must certainly be protected speech.

My question is, isn’t this conspiracy to commit murder?

No? at best it’s raising a legal question. In very extreme cases, self defense can be premeditated. abused women who can’t reasonably escape the abusers, for example. The question is, at what point does a political candidate making threats to execute and murder his political opponents cross the line into that extreme scenario?

It’s not like I’m actively plotting his assassination, and neither are you. Conspiracy is far more deliberate, it involves specific actions. It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have, sure, but it’s probably one somebody who can muzzle Trump should be having with him.

Like, the plot to kidnap Whitmer, that was a conspiracy. This? nope.

Also, just for the record, that line is probably somewhere around the same time civil war becomes imminent.

Underwear: one per day plus 2 for contingencies, unfolded because I’m a monster.

Socks: 1 pair per day, one for contingencies. Unmatched, because they’re all the same anyhow.

2 pairs of pants and 1 pair of gym shorts. Possibly board shorts for swimming.

1 shirt (white or printed,) per day. At most 3 button downs.

Rainshell if summer, winter jacket plus layers if not.

I’m not sure raw story is going to be sending malware.

Spam? In 37 different flavors,

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

spam is just unwanted emails, it’s not software, in of its self.

Also, the tracking beacons only load if you let it. I assume you have your email client set to not load remote content. (If you don’t, you really should.) not sure what you use for email, but thunderbird (mozilla) does it automatically.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Malware is any unwanted thing on your computer that either you or your system has to deal with, whether in the form of software, emails, or pop-ups.

Malware is Malicious Software it’s a very specific thing, Cisco defines it as :

Malware, short for malicious software, refers to any intrusive software developed by cybercriminals (often called hackers) to steal data and damage or destroy computers and computer systems. Examples of common malware include viruses, worms, Trojan viruses, spyware, adware, and ransomware. Recent malware attacks have exfiltrated data in mass amounts.

Cisco defines spam as:

Spam email is unsolicited and unwanted junk email sent out in bulk to an indiscriminate recipient list. Typically, spam is sent for commercial purposes. It can be sent in massive volume by botnets, networks of infected computers.

Sally from Accounting hitting reply all? spam. Kyle sending out embarrassing photos of Steve to everyone? Spam. your fifth cousin’s baby photos? well, I assume that’s spam. maybe you like baby photos.

those chain letters? spam. but not malware. They might contain malware, but the email itself is not malware. For example, a malicious image, won’t load- it has to go fetch the image first. Until you load the remote content, it’s not malware. It’s just a way of pointing you at the malware.

That said, it’s important to note that Raw Story is a legitimate company that wants your business. They’re not going to intentionally send you malware. mostly they’re going to be using the remote content to load pretty images and set up some basic telemetry (essentially read receipts. Maybe a cookie if you’re using a web client for your email, or perhaps clicked a link.) This is true of most legitimate companies. They want your business, so they’re not going to so brazenly piss you off with ransomware or a trojan.

As long as you’re not loading remote content and clicking links, there’s basically nothing that email can do to you. you can train your email client to recognize it as spam and send it straight to the bin; reducing potential accidental openings.

How long have you been in there?! A popular tourist destination in China has installed toilet timers. Reactions are mixed. (edition.cnn.com)

A video recently shared on various Chinese news and social media sites shows a set of timers installed above a row of toilet cubicles in a female washroom, with each stall getting its own digital counter....

even in the article they try to slant it like “poor karen!” and it’s annoying.

Even if you were to assume that she was having some sort of mental break down or something- which is entirely possible- You still have to maintain the physical safety of yourself and the other passengers on the plane first and foremost. though I’m a little surprised they don’t have zip ties or handcuffs on board for unruly passengers… or, uh… .something more than duct tape…

Fun fact, the biggest point in Florida is currently 345 feet above sealevel. (it’s somewhere near the ballsack.)

If that even is the thinking. IDK, maybe they are just doing exercises, and there’s no particular intent behind it and the US press is writing a bunch about it just because it is notable that it’s happening.

It’s brinkmanship. the Russians are trying to invoke the cuban missile crisis. AFAIK, they’re supply ships bringing stuff to Cuba; (but also “recruits” from Cuba.). But a large part of it is definitely meant to up the anty on all the “if you don’t stop supplying weapons I’ll use nukes” rhetoric.

Main point is: why not let a large number of people who heard about a condition from their own qualified doctors help you at least scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks at your next appointment? (But please avoid those crystal suppositories.)

Because:

  1. You have no way of verifying their anecdotes ever happened, that they were prescribed and on the medication
  2. no way of knowing other circumstances that affect medications, like drug interactions, or other unfortunate habits they might have had
  3. they have no knowledge of your underlying medical situation
  4. your doctor has 2 and 3, and should have access to studies in lieu of 1.
  5. Internet Randos are inherently untrustworthy.
  6. your doctor doesn’t get paid if you die.

Not to mention, how frequently the “I can fix it on my own” guy ends up making things worse.

Like my coworker who insisted he knew how to install a monitor and then couldn’t figure out why the display port wouldn’t work with a usb-a adapter. It had a normal DisplayPort plug and didn’t have a thunderbolt adapter (it’s a desktop.)

Rather than update the ticket that got him the monitor, he created a new ticket.

I can’t complain too much. IT guy likes me so he took the extra monitor and gave me a third one.

Criminal offense?

No. It most certainly is not a criminal offense.

At worst, it’d be defamation, which is a civil tort. And only then, if a) it was in fact a false statement, b) fault amounting to negligence or worse (ie they didn’t do due diligence in fact checking, or it was intentionally false.) and c) some harm occurred.

If it’s reasonably true, it’s not defamation.
