My family had a zip drive growing up. Then again, my dad is a doctor, so our income might have had something to do with it.

GFGJewbacca ,

Shhhhh, don’t give them ideas.

People don’t go crazy after being in solitary confinement tortured for years. What are you going on about?

A 9/11 defendant is ruled unfit for trial after a medical panel finds torture left him psychotic (apnews.com)

Brett Eagleson, whose father, Bruce Eagleson, was killed when one of the hijacked planes destroyed the south tower of the World Trade Center, called the events that forced the sidelining of al-Shibh’s prosecution “another example of the lack of justice that the 9/11 community has received at the hands of our own...

President Joe Biden this month declined to approve post-trauma care when defense lawyers presented it as a condition in plea negotiations. The administration said the president was unsettled by the thought of providing care and ruling out solitary confinement for the 9/11 defendants, given the historic scale of the attacks.

“Of course it’s not popular" among Americans, Bruck said Friday. “Enforcing human rights, the most fundamental human rights, is often not popular. But we should do it.”

This is incredibly telling on US government officials’ thoughts regarding human rights.

שנה תובה! I’m stealing this meme for next year.

Ah, I see you are also a person of culture.

Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting • The Register (www.theregister.com)

Topics essentially works like this: rather than using cookies to track people around the web and figure out their interests from the sites they visit and the apps they use, websites can ask Chrome directly, via its Topics JavaScript API, what sort of things the user is interested in, and then display ads based on that. Chrome...

I somehow doubt that Chromium is safe from this. I would imagine that anything built off of Chrome will have this implemented, because otherwise they’re just “leaving money on the table.”

GFGJewbacca ,

That’s where I am too! Right there with you.

GFGJewbacca ,

That, my friend, is doing God’s work. I would love some tips on how best to do this in the hopes of joining you.

GFGJewbacca ,

Woof.

GFGJewbacca ,

Thank God at least something is being done about this. I don’t think it’s perfect, because I feel like the requirements they’re imposing will barely help most patients deal with basic daily tasks. Even so this is way better than little to no coverage at all.

GFGJewbacca ,

I would like to agree with you, but I have doubts this lawsuit will stick because of how prominent corporations are in US law.

Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...

I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE ANOTHER FELLOW HUMAN HERE. ALL OF THESE OTHER COMMENTS ARE HARMING MY AUDIO SENSORS EARS.

GFGJewbacca ,

I hope it expands the endgame content, since that’s the only thing I think Grim Dawn is lacking. It’s the only ARPG where I’ve gotten a character to lvl 100. Overall, a dynamite game.

Caste matters : California Assembly passes anti-caste Bill, soon to make it official state law (www.thenewsminute.com)

In another significant moment for the movement against caste discrimination in the United States, a Bill to make caste discrimination illegal was passed by the California State Assembly on Monday, August 28, with 50 votes in its favour and only three against it. It was earlier passed by the state's Senate in May this year. With...

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m also surprised it’s Indian-Americans talking about this and not Republicans. There’s been a caste system in the US since its inception based on race and income.

GFGJewbacca ,

A company finally engaging in something resembling customer service or doing their fucking job after being contacted by journalists threatening to expose their behavior? That’s never happened before and certainly won’t happen again. /s

This was also demonstrated when a decision came up saying a fetus couldn’t be claimed as a tax credit. Rules for thee, not for me.

Florida Governor Ron Desantis booed at vigil as hundreds mourn more racist killings (apnews.com)

Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racist attack in America: this one the killing of three Black people in Florida at the hands of a white, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of...

GFGJewbacca ,

“What he did is totally unacceptable in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. “We are not going to let people be targeted based on their race.”

Why is Desantis allowed to lie so blatantly? He encourages this behavior daily!

GFGJewbacca ,

Way to use Sam and Max to make this meme. Based.

GFGJewbacca ,

This is just a repeat of the “Reverse Freedom Rides,” and nothing happened then either. You really expect a sitting governor to be convicted of interstate human trafficking and/or child trafficking? The Catholic Church trafficked hundreds of thousands of children and didn’t even get a slap on the wrist!

Rich men in power sexually harassing numerous women in the workplace? Who would have thought this would happen? /s

I wish the fair employment laws were truly upheld, but as long as there are too many men in power this won’t happen. Fuck, the US can barely conceive of the idea of a female president.

GFGJewbacca ,

This is how my wife and I operate as well. But because both of us cook, when my wife is busy being a pediatrician, I can take care of the meals for the week. It allows us lots of flexibility, unlike in the house I grew up in where my mom did all the cooking. I didn’t really learn how to cook until fairly recently.

GFGJewbacca ,

Pretty sure the official rules have killed off the idea of the peasant rail gun. Now a barb raging before impact to halve falling damage, or doing the same thing with a Moon druid in 5e, that’s just exploiting the rules.

GFGJewbacca ,

Don’t forget Cutco knives and Mary Kay! That happened to two friends of mine.

GFGJewbacca ,

Just submitted my claim. Here’s hoping for something mildly substantial.

As I am currently living in Botswana, the constitution hit home for me.

It really does get pretty trippy. I’ve been working through the secrets to unlock all the other characters. Some of them are pretty funny, others have curious quirks.

GFGJewbacca ,

I see what you did there.

GFGJewbacca ,

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. I hate it when news sources perpetuate racist disinformation.

GFGJewbacca ,

Beautiful! Just gave you a follow in pixelfed. I need an excuse to post more wildlife photography

GFGJewbacca ,

I have raged at Sibelius numerous times when I was told “It’s the best music notation software out there.” Finale, the other big corporate music notation software, touting itself as more user friendly, has a garbage UI. It’s because of this YouTuber that I found out about MuseScore (for which he’s worked on the UI), and I was psyched to see he’s part of Audacity as well. I’m fully switched over to MuseScore now, and I’m staying there. Plus it’s FOSS!

GFGJewbacca ,

I agree about MuseScore’s reaction. I really like the way MuseScore 4 feels, and the MuseHub is pretty useful. Check out Tantacrul’s video on Dorico. I found it informative.

GFGJewbacca ,

Umm, excuse me, but I believe you’re missing a “start” and/or “select.” pushes glasses up nose

GFGJewbacca ,

Oh. Well then, I stand corrected.

There’s only one thing I would alter in your statement. You said:

…and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good product.

I would say, "and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good product anything else, including life itself.

It’s more profitable for a health insurance company to deny someone’s claim than to pay for their healthcare in the US. The insurance company won’t care if that ultimately leads to the person’s death - they have to answer to their shareholders.

It’s more profitable for Nestlé or Google to siphon water from countries in the global South than it is to have sustainable practices that don’t exacerbate climate change. So what if that means that millions of people will die in the years to come? That’s their problem for being poor.

We need to bring about the kind of change that has politicians recognize that there is more to human life than a dollar amount, and that poverty is not a moral failing on the part of the individual. But until that happens, poverty is akin to a death sentence.

SSC 2023 Grand Finals - Kurabba (Yoshi) Vs. Isai (Pikachu) Smash 64 Tournament (m.youtube.com)

Kurabba, the #1 player in the world, beat Isai sending him to losers bracket 1-3. Isai turned on the heat and proceeded to steamroll the rest of the tournament and beat Kurabba 6-0 resetting the bracket and taking the championship! Truly the GOAT. His aggressive pikachu was amazing to watch.

GFGJewbacca ,

Just finished watching these matches, and as someone who’s played a good amount of SSB64, that was INCREDIBLE. Such top notch playing from start to finish. Thanks for sharing this.

GFGJewbacca ,

What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.

GFGJewbacca ,

Crap, I have to reread the series now and appreciate “The Fifth Elephant.” Didn’t that elephant also cause huge crystalized fat deposits to happen deep in the disc?

GFGJewbacca ,

This is like saying, “people need air to breathe.” The fact this is a revelation to gaming studios is deeply concerning.

I played some when it was in early access, and I’ve been absolutely loving BG3 now that it’s officially released. I haven’t felt like this about a game in a long time, and it’s probably because Larian studios treated this like Divinity Original Sin - a complete game with loving care. As I saw in another review, they didn’t make a D&D game, they just made D&D.

GFGJewbacca ,

Didn’t Bush Jr call his Iraq war a crusade? Yes, he did.

GFGJewbacca ,

Is anyone surprised this is happening? He deliberately allowed white supremacists back on the platform. This was a logical next step.
