okay but the statement he made fits into a societal context such that the overall message being sent by a group of people that have Oktoberfest but make cannabis illegal is absolutely “cannabis bad, alcohol good”.

reverendsteveii ,

keep assuming legalization will lead to disaster no matter how many times it doesn’t

Came here to say this. It feels like they’re so attached to the “fryer” narrative that they designed it so they can say “look, it even has a fryer basket” but that basket is dumb. When I had one it had shelves which meant I could make more stuff at a time and what I made came out better because it wasn’t all piled on top of itself. Also the rotisserie with the skewer made whole chickens pretty quickly and the rotating basket made the bangin’est oven fries.

reverendsteveii ,

following because I also dk the difference here

reverendsteveii ,

you need the one with shelves rather than the “fryer basket”

dry brine and a little baking soda

smoker nerd checking in - this is the way, the light and the truth. I can get wings with skin so crisp it shatters when you hit it with a fork with some baking soda in the rub, on smoke at 225 for a bit and then finished on a ripping hot grill or in a 500f oven

reverendsteveii ,

It was a gift and has long since died. best I can do for you is that it says “power air fryer oven” on the front

windows update kept downloading these bloated “updates” that included brand new software that I didn’t want or use, broke my settings, added a bunch of spyware, adware and other shit and slowed down my system

installing linux fixed that instantly and permanently

don’t worry, a judge just ruled that Don is a special boy and doesn’t have to follow the same laws as everyone else so he doesn’t need to put up the whole bond.

He’s God’s Most Special Guy, so he gets yet another exception to the law. Courts have ruled that he has to put up less than half of what would be required of anyone else.

Holy shit did Lord Musk invent hand implants? I remember the Over-The-Arm Manipulators patent but I didn’t think that OTAM technology would go anywhere.

reverendsteveii ,

even if it were completely F/OSS including the hardware I’m as afraid of a brain accident as I am of someone purposely doing awful shit to my brain. I want what you want too, it’s just that there’s no world in which that happens.

reverendsteveii ,

They’re not being manipulated, though. You can tell because 100% of Neuralink users feel they’re not being manipulated at all and that their absolutely fanatical devotion to the company is because it, and its founder Galactic President Musk, are just that great!

you might think it’s a long way to the chemist’s…

We just need to wait for a full moon so we don’t miss.

reverendsteveii ,

for some reason only things already ubiquitous get marketed these days

the reason you’re looking for is capitalism. why would I bet marketing money on anything but the most likely big return? this is also why such a huge portion of movies are either reboots, sequels, prequels or “homages”.

reverendsteveii ,

everything works until it doesn’t.

reverendsteveii ,

there’s a teapot that I think you’d be quite fond of, orbiting the earth right behind the moon just where we can’t see it

reverendsteveii ,

have they tried to blame this on Woke yet?

reverendsteveii ,

take note urban planners: even in the sky, trains work better

reverendsteveii ,

I feel like it’s context-dependent, though. It’s hard to argue that a pen in your head/jaw/neck does not have the potential to kill you.

I gave up after I was told that people DMing me photographs of people committing suicide was not harassment but me referencing Yo La Tengo’s album “I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass” was worthy of a 30 day ban

reverendsteveii ,

it legit took youtube’s autoplay about half an hour after I searched “counting macros” to bring me to american monarchist content

reverendsteveii ,

is the pusher guilty? last time I checked he didn’t grow the poppies or process them into heroin.

reverendsteveii ,

this protection does not extend to knowingly facilitating or encouraging illegal activities.

if it’s illegal to encourage illegal activities it’s illegal to build an algorithm that automates encouraging illegal activities

reverendsteveii ,

it would be one thing if they were actually going to ban it, but the plan is pretty plainly for deep state establishment to seize it so that the US government can do all the awful things that they’re accusing the Chinese government of doing. Remember y’all, the difference between information and propaganda is “Do I like the person who is currently speaking?” and nothing more.

reverendsteveii ,

I didn’t say anything was made up or that China was doing anything good. You put the phrase “made up” in quotes. Find it in my original comment if you’re quoting me.

What I did say was that the US government is angling to steal China’s propaganda apparatus to use for itself and pretending that it’s protecting us.

Read better.

reverendsteveii ,

swing and a miss

the point is that they’re trying to pretend they’re protecting us from propaganda by seizing the propaganda platform and operating it themselves. you don’t trust the CCP and neither do I. Let’s take that as read. do you trust the US government? if this is dangerous, why not shut it down? hell, why not go a step further and make it illegal for anyone to do?

everything about my life changed when I realized that if something tastes like it needs salt but adding salt doesn’t help, it needs acid.

Trying sssssooooo hard

Giving the state the power to kill a certain class of people is a great way to get the state to reclassify anyone inconvenient as a member of that class so they can be murdered legally. With that being said, I’m unlikely to get Vietnam to eliminate the death penalty entirely or be mistaken for a corrupt billionaire so maybe this will remind the other billionaires that they’re made of soft, fragile meat just like the rest of us.

Talk is cheap… and so is 1 BTC per year

luckily it said they’re going to buy 1 per day. There are several days in an average year.

if you’re in this thread you should be reading Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle

One of my favorite traditions is world leaders congratulating Putin the day before Russian elections.

1% made willingly by kids, without them being coerced by adults

the stickiest part of the wicket here is that if you carve out an exception for kids taking pictures of themselves, even if you make it still illegal but make the consequences less about punishment, millions of hideous fuckers will immediately begin probing for a way to manipulate kids into doing it themselves in a manner that doesn’t technically break the law.

reverendsteveii ,

christians love raping children, don’t they?

reverendsteveii ,

selection bias. people who know that what they want to do is wrong but don’t have the strength inside them to not do it just because its wrong tend to gravitate toward an external authority that will dictate and enforce their morals for them. they also, like all of us, believe that they’re more or less average, so they think that the dark shit in their heads is what everyone always experiences. They think that because they need god to bully and extort them into being decent that anyone who doesn’t believe in god cannot be decent.

To quote Penn Jillette (from memory): “They say, ‘Without God, what’s to keep you from raping and murdering all you want?’ And I respond that I do rape and murder all I want, which is zero, and I wonder how much they want to rape and murder that it’s the first thing they think of when confronted with the idea of freedom and responsibility.”

reverendsteveii ,

and wouldn’t you know it, a former US government functionary is the head of a group ready to buy it!

This isn’t about protecting people from propaganda and data mining, it’s about making sure that only people in the pocket of the American establishment get to manipulate us.

reverendsteveii ,

may someone ask of you one day what you’re asking of this old man today

reverendsteveii ,

france24.com/…/20231222-gaza-bound-aid-trucks-end…

Neat take! This says that trucks are backed up for miles trying to get into Gaza and that Israel is blockading them. Got anything to support your claim?

reverendsteveii ,

no you support Israel well past a fault
