Apparently it’s literally in the standardised tests… that’s what’s causing the problems! 😉

I’d feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.

Although I will point out that The Fantastic Four is looking like it’s set in an alternate 1960s and will clearly involve superheroes AND Michael Giacchino is doing the music for it, so that’s probably as close as you’re going to get…

To demonstrate the lack of a “clear mandate”.

Yes, Trump will win if he gets one more vote than Biden, but the more he loses the popular vote by, the more justification people have for protesting.

So if he wins on electoral college votes but loses the popular vote by a landslide, at least it shows what The People are actually thinking.

Because they think they’re helping stand on other people’s necks, and that’s just fine in their book.

Then they act all surprised with the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” when it happens.

It would almost be funny if not for the whole “fate of American democracy” thing.

Sure, the Democrats are Doctor Evil and his minions. But the Republicans are literally Hitler and the nazis.

Vote accordingly.

The last time I tried to install Windows 11 on a VM (Nutanix AHV), I had to fiddle with a virtual TPM and lost the live migration feature as a result.

Dos this mean I can install the LTSC version, not need the TPM and have a working, live migrate-able machine?

Something to test next week…

This is why full stops and other punctuation marks were invented, people. It’s all that separates us from this sort of word vomit.

Why can’t they just be happy being a male and just wear feminine clothes?

My god, you’re a genius. No trans person has ever tried “just being happy” with how they are. They put themselves through the misery and surgery and social stigmatisation, when all they had to do was “be happy”.

I bet you could solve depression too, if you put your mind to it.

Lemming421 , 4 months ago

Why? Because it makes you feel better?

I think they know themselves and what they need better than you do.

Lemming421 , 4 months ago

Again, you’re basing all of this on your opinion of what a woman is.

And you’re wrong. It’s as simple as that.

Lemming421 , 4 months ago

You’re a transphobe and an asshole. Got it.

You’ve had your shower thoughts, everyone is telling you why you’re wrong. At best your ideas are from the last century. At worst you’re just a troll. We can’t make you get with the times or summon the smallest amount of empathy for other people, but we can shun you for your offensive attitudes.

Not sure why you’re downvoted for that. I’m a meat eater, and I’ll admit veganism seems more ethical. But it’s too inconvenient to give up meat, so I don’t. And having vegans around reminds me that I could be doing more to make the world a better place. So guilt.

Probably helped by the fact that none of the vegans I know are preachy about it, so I can’t just assume they’re all assholes either.

However much you enjoy fine dining, now and again, you just want a dodgy burger from the van parked outside the student union.

There’s a reason Dan Brown was so popular. Some times, you need a bit of trash in your life.

You can’t get yourself sterilised in case some future man wants to use your baby factory.

Counterpoint - if people don’t need to take crappy jobs just to afford food and shelter, those jobs will have to provide better pay and conditions to get employees.

Also, if more people can afford to get further education, you’ll get more doctors and engineers and high skilled workers, because they’ll be able to do the training instead of getting several minimum wage jobs just to support their families.

I’ve said it before - any society that can afford billionaires can afford to feed, clothe, shelter and provide basic medical care to all is members, it’s just choosing not to.

Stop being so hopelessly capitalist.

Stop voting for fascists.

Stop doing genocides.

Stop using fossil fuels.

Not necessarily in that order.

Not since Christmas, but most of March, and I’ve still got a slight sniffle. There was about a week in the middle of that there I tested positive for Covid, but that’s weeks ago now.

Boy, sure would be nice if there were literally any consequences at all for him, wouldn’t it?

I’ve seen stories about this. If it’s so hot it makes someone else ill, but you can eat it, you’re fine. If you maliciously make it too hot for anyone, that’s apparently unacceptable.

If the government can get your current email or bank account shut down, why do you think they couldn’t/wouldn’t do that on a government-provided one?

Lemming421 , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Yes, a label is just a more versatile folder. If you don’t like that, you can just use a single label per email, but I genuinely can’t see any value in that. But you can if you want.

Lemming421 , 5 months ago

While I don’t disagree with you in principle, I do find it a bit funny that you’ve picked one of the easiest services to change between as your hill.

There’s no reason you _ have_ to use Gmail, or Hotmail. There are a billion email providers and if you have enough technical knowledge, you can even run your own (I really don’t recommend this though, it’s harder then it seems to do it safely and securely).

If you pick a provider outside the US, your government can’t do dick about getting it shut down, and if you pick one in a particularly privacy-conscious country, you can have everything encrypted to the point where the provider themselves can’t read your messages.

Also, I assume this is similar in the States, but I’ve seen government IT projects in the UK and some of them are truly awful. I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to look after important emails for me. Plus a single source of email would be an awfully tempting target for hacker groups around the world.

Lemming421 , 5 months ago

It’s like… I want to disagree with you, but you’re making me think.

Why are we ok with having required services that are only provided by third party companies?

They’re not specific - No government says you must have a Facebook or Twitter account. But you’re right - you have to have a bank account and you’ll not get far in 2024 without email.

What about a step further? If you want a phone number, you need a landline or mobile. Both of those are only provided by private companies too…

If they can send it to Israel, why not Ukraine?

Lemming421 , 5 months ago

Ah, when it said “Biden Administration” and “quietly funded”, I thought it meant they could skip those assholes that are leaving Ukraine to die because their good-emperor is so far up Putin’s ass that he can see tonsil.

The water infrastructure was nationalised decades ago. Each reason has a single private company that maintains the pipes, supply, treatment etc. to everyone in that area. Being private companies, the execs have been getting massive bonuses while dumping raw sewage into public waterways recently. And why? Because as someone else here said: after Brexit, the government got rid of the environmental laws saying they couldn’t. And when you’re a monopoly in your area, are you going to spend money on treating water you don’t have to, or give that money to the shareholders?

It’s a fucking disgrace, a lot of people should go to prison for it and the whole system should be renationalised. But then people in government would lose money, and we can’t have that now, can we?

Personally, I’d have liked it it be a section 31 Time Travel reunion, and had Malcolm Reed, Trip Tucker, Georgiou, Ash Tyler, Julian Bashir and clone Boimler, but a) we’d have heard about that by now and b) I admit it might be a bit fan-wankery to support a standalone film.

I don’t know… taking the “Star” out of Star Trek, especially in the 60s might not have been that great.

I recall enjoying his appearance in the Eugenics Wars novels, but either aging or COVID has done a number on my brain and I can’t remember any specifics about him or the books…

Designate India as an “unsafe” tourist destination and suggest people travel elsewhere instead. Advise businesses to avoid sending staff there for any reason and recommend (not mandate) that they look at reducing trade and presence there.

I’m no economist, so I have no idea how blunt that instrument is or how it would affect domestic or Indian economies, but it’s an idea…

I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places.

No you don’t. It’s not quite as simple, but buy your own domain, get an email provider such as Fastmail that will let you use a catch-all, then use a unique address for every site you visit.

Then if one starts receiving spam, you can block that specific address and voila, no more spam. Plus you know what sites have either poor customer detail hygiene or are actively selling your details.
