That’s my guess.

IvanOverdrive ,

Of course he’d be okay with house arrest. Mara Largo has golf and beautiful cake and no poors.

Jail would be him and the Secret Service in solitary. I can’t imagine he’d be okay with even that.

IvanOverdrive ,

I think he’ll think that until the cold wet fish of reality slaps him in the face.

IvanOverdrive ,

Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?

IvanOverdrive ,

That is my name. Uh… Bisexual Zebra…

I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn’t have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.

IvanOverdrive ,

To this day gaman or Japanese stoicism is a big part of Japanese culture. The Japanese had already lost the war, but the ruling class was willing to sacrifice scores of people to fight to the bitter end.

In an episode of Hardcore History, it detailed that the Allied ships couldn’t dock in Okinawa because of all the corpses in the water. The Japanese had inundated Okinawa with propaganda that the Americans were going to rape them all. Many families killed themselves. And the invasion of the mainland was only going to get bloodier.

A terrible as it is to say, dropping the nukes was the more humane option of the two.

My dog barks some. Therefore nuke Gaza.

IvanOverdrive ,

Sorry, but what do you mean by ik weapons?

“You can’t expect me to remember all my kid’s ages. It’s like they change every year!”

EA might just be responsible for an increase in literacy. Why play corpo trash when you can, I dunno, read books?

Use your words. Tell her you don’t want to and why.

Robot Makers Try to Reassure Public They're Legit After Elon Musk Fudged Demo (gizmodo.com)

Elon Musk became the butt of more than a few jokes after internet users pointed out Tesla’s robot demo wasn’t all it appeared to be. As it turns out, a video the billionaire posted of Optimus, the company’s much-hyped humanoid robot, was actually being controlled by a human slightly off-screen. And it’s interesting to...

IvanOverdrive ,

This is great! Now we don’t have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don’t have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

IvanOverdrive ,

To preface this all, I’m not a vegan but I support the cause. However on the west coast of Canada, a lot of shitty people use veganism as social camouflage to cover for their moral failings in other areas. I just don’t trust anyone that trumpets their veganism. Just like I don’t trust the overtly religious.

Great leader is a real man.

Great leader wears adult diapers.

Therefore real men wear adult diapers.

I think we can drop the “like” from “cult like”.

Taketomi Island. Very chill, really beautiful place. Would love to visit again.

For me, it was the 2011 Playstation Hack.

Credit card data was encrypted, but Sony admitted that other user information was not encrypted at the time of the intrusion.

After that, I swore I would never give a corporation that lax with personal information my own.

IvanOverdrive ,

There was also an anti-French Wagner/Russian backed military coup d’etat. The US had to closed down a drone base that kept eyes on terrorism suspects there. Even if it was perfect weather, probably not a great place to be right now.

Police make arrests in killing of B.C. [Canada] Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar (www.cbc.ca)

Canadian police have arrested members of an alleged hit squad investigators believe was tasked by the government of India with killing prominent Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C. last June, CBC News has learned....

Asked if there are any Indian “sleeper agents” in Canada, Teboul said it’s a “great question” but he can’t say more about it because it’s “very much at the centre of evidence and ongoing investigations.”

This does not bode well for the Indian diaspora in Canada. I worry that anyone a shade darker than Toronto snow is going to be the focus of xenophobia.

IvanOverdrive ,

On the plus side, I have rediscovered my joy of reading.

To understand the complexity of the human brain, you need a brain more complex than the human brain.

I doubt Netanyahu will agree. As soon as the war stops, he’ll face corruption charges. On top of that he wants the genocide.

IvanOverdrive , (edited )

If I were Biden and the Supreme Court ruled it’s legal, first thing I’d do is put Trump and every justice that ruled in favor in a CIA black site. Then I’d stack the court with justices that would rule it was illegal. Because that shit cannot stand.

IvanOverdrive ,

And my guess would be a fraction of those warned would phone the scammers back to find another way to pay them. Some folks can’t bear to know they’ve been tricked.

IvanOverdrive ,

“Mother of Wifi” is a stretch. But “mother of Alka-Seltzer”? Definitely. “Midwife of the traffic signal”? Sure.

IvanOverdrive ,

This just confirms the worst case scenario for me. This might be posturing, but it’s far more likely ByteDance can’t reveal how much command the CCP has over the data.

‘He erased the entire project’ … the book Stanley Kubrick didn’t want anyone to read to be published (www.theguardian.com)

Stanley Kubrick, the relentless perfectionist who directed some of cinema’s greatest classics, was so sensitive to criticism that, in 1970, he threatened legal action to block publication of a book which dared to discuss flaws in his films....

What I really love about Lovecraft was how inclusionary the community around the Cthulhu mythos has become.

Trump Privately Rages About His Sketch Artist, Courtroom Nap Reports (www.rollingstone.com)

The court dismissed one potential juror after Trump’s legal team had flagged their social media post last month of an AI-generated video featuring Trump saying “I’m dumb as fuck.” Trump’s lawyers sought to strike another potential juror over social media posts made or shared by her husband in 2016. In one, Trump’s...

[Trump] tried to get his White House staff to pressure Disney, which owns ABC, to force Kimmel to stop making fun of him.

You can’t make this shit up.

My brother-in-law is obsessed with skater fashion, so I guess we got off light.

Ken Paxton has always been the scummiest of scumfucks.

A big part of belonging to a cult is acting out the communal lie. It’s a way to signal inclusion despite being antithetical to reality.

A Russian pacifist helped Ukrainians flee the country. Then the Kremlin caught him (www.theguardian.com)

Since the start of the war over two years ago, a discreet network of unofficial Russian volunteers like Demidenko has sprung up that have helped tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees displaced by the war to get out of Russia. Many of the Ukrainians were forcibly deported to Russia or ended up in the country after finding no...

There always that one downvote when you speak the truth.

Emotional reward.

Sure, but then dude has got little dentures rolling around in there. And that won’t help.

Yay, it can be stopped. Somebody else get on that right away.

So… what’s the second rule of talking to Fox News?

I love me some Endless Space 2.

That tree looks like the stranger on the street who offers to babysit your daughters for free.

Jails banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls as part of a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with prison phone companies (arstechnica.com)

Across the United States, hundreds of jails have eliminated in-person family visits over the last decade. Why has this happened? The answer highlights a profound flaw in how decisions too often get made in our legal system: for-profit jail telecom companies realized that they could earn more profit from phone and video calls if...

I read about this in Cory Doctorow’s The Bezzle. I’m surprised it didn’t get more traction in the press.

IvanOverdrive ,

Objection! Image contains no cars and no trees.

Cory Doctorow and I suggest reading Walkaway. I found it transformative.

IvanOverdrive ,

Fun fact: Orson Well’s last role was Omicron, the planet sized transformer in Transformers the Movie. Since he was a method actor, he ate so many peeps he became the size of a planet.

IvanOverdrive ,

You’re right. Guess I’ve got Covid on the brain.

IvanOverdrive ,

It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.

If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.

IvanOverdrive ,

And the US has exported marijuana prohibition all over the globe.

Oh god I’m edging so hard my dick could cut diamonds.

James can begin seizing his assets, which include iconic New York properties such as 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower.

Is Truth Social based in New York? She should take that toy away from him too.
