“What gun problem are you talking about? I only see a freedom problem, and that’s the best type of problem to have!”

I came to quote the same line while saying that I knew at that moment which side I was on. The man is almost never on the right side of issues. I’ve only seen it once, though I can’t recall the issue, and I was shocked at the time.

His meltdowns would be entertaining if they weren’t incredibly sad. I’m bipolar and have been in a manic state that would be deemed as detached from reality (usually just racing thoughts and insomnia; this one included delusions of persecution). He needs people in his life who can steer him towards help during these times and clearly has none or doesn’t listen to them.

Airbnb undermined team that removed extremist users, whistleblower claims | CNN Business (edition.cnn.com)

Jess Hernandez worked full-time as an investigations analyst for Airbnb’s dangerous organizations team from May 2022 to November 2023, researching extremist networks as part of the company’s work to keep dangerous individuals off the platform. But she says she was terminated in November 2023, shortly after her team was...

I questioned whether I’d misread that bit of the article, so thanks for clarifying with a quote. Same as people who lost their jobs for joining in at J6. Your politics fueled violence. I have no sympathy. I say that as someone who will be on a list if fascists truly come to power in the USA. Mine will be for thought crimes. These are for real crimes. I’m sure there are minor nuances where I’d be willing to concede something went too far as almost all enforcement runs into grey areas from time to time, but this is far from persecuting people for the way they voted.

What was that old saying? The internet makes you stupid.

Please donate to The Satanic Temple if you care about this topic and are able.

What are you talking about? Some politician grimaced as he took a sip of water and another one put it to his lips without actually taking a sip. Everything is fine!

led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

Yet if I criticize him, I’m accused of refusing to vote against Trump and told that I’m the problem.

some_guy ,

This is a pretty funny response. It made me smile. Genuine thanks.

some_guy ,

So, Grinfucked, by Devildriver, is one of the songs that’ll play for me. Ok.

some_guy ,

I don’t need this much accuracy.

He already quit and came back after two years. My bet is he makes another comeback. Fuck this guy and his enablers.

“That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have a more honest election.”

Fixed it: “That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have the appearance of a more honest election.”

Stone noted during the conversation that the Trump campaign is attempting to change state voting laws and plans to immediately file a number of lawsuits seeking to change the results should the former president lose again, as Trump allies did in Michigan and several other states in 2020.

This is looking grim. We might have to actually fight on this one. Sigh…

Or, the end of the mini-ice-age resulted in flooding that equated to a rise of something like 20 stories (as in building levels) of water in lower regions including the Fertile Crescent. It would make sense that the first (known) civilizations would have great flood myths because their lands were wiped out during their lifetimes. Did the entire world flood? From their perspective yes. From that of geologists, no.

Edit: Oh, and I want to cancel all religions. Christianity isn’t special.

The Fall of Civilizations podcast indicated that there was a period of rapid rise in sea levels around Mesopotamia, but if you have reason to disagree with the host I’ll defer. I don’t know their background beyond being a good storyteller.

some_guy ,

I wanted to say Black Sea but wasn’t confident enough that I’d remembered correctly.

some_guy ,

No, you see, the thing is, Lonnie brought $55B worth of value to Tesla. It’s earned. If you can’t see that, that must be why you’re not a billionaire.

some_guy ,

How about for harvesting organs? Let’s hold them accountable for that, too. Oh, wait. Israel can’t be touched because my government (USA) protects them. Sigh…

some_guy ,

I was listening to the Fall of Civilizations podcast and one ep was talking about the huge areas that were covered by water post-Mini Ice Age and how rapidly that change occurred. I’ll get the numbers wrong, so I won’t try to quote it, but it was shocking. It made complete sense that people migrating from that area to higher ground would perceive the entire world flooding.

I believe this was around the time of the Sumerian culture, which gave us The Epic of Gilgamesh and the first flood. Very interesting stuff. Can’t recall if it was the ep on Sumer or Assyria or another, as they often have a lot of overlapping events told from the point of view of the culture in question.

I had not heard of Shuruppak, but now I’ve pulled up Wikipedia on it. Thanks for the info!

I love learning about history but hadn’t focused on this aspect of human history until pretty recently, so I’m happy to learn more. It was when I got various dates put to farming and domestication that I began taking note of civs in this / these eras. I’d primarily focused before and after previously (evolution of hominids and post-middle ages). Again, thanks!

Had someone verify that wifi was working because he could see his neighbors’ networks. Airplane Mode was enabled. Dunno what he thought he saw.

Same thing with a colleague. The guy told him that he was definitely connected to wifi. It took a lot of probing to confirm that wasn’t true.

Some people just can’t provide valid feedback nor follow simple instructions. I kinda feel like those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can’t master just pass the basics, sorry. Here’s a pencil and a pad of paper. You can either work the longer way or you can consciously put in the effort to learn this stuff enough for us to help you when you need it.

My own father, who had a doctorate in mechanical engineering: “Now click the Apple menu.” “What’s that?” “It’s the menu that’s an Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen.” “I don’t have that.” “Yes, you definitely have that.” “No, I don’… oh there it is.”

I’m not calling anyone stupid. More that I’m saying people convince themselves that they can’t learn and then shut down.

some_guy ,

Insightful. I was commenting about a VIP wrt a power dialog on a mobile device and posited that the reason they didn’t understand a thing must be that they don’t read before dismissing it. I would even say that’s half of 1% of their attention and that makes complete sense. The other 99.5% is focused on the things they consider more important.

some_guy ,

Wow. It’s so easy to get that info from a web search that I’d argue that the response is evidence of the person not doing their job. Good on your wife for calling bullshit and the same for the higher ups who defended her position.

some_guy ,

Hopefully they’re really good at bringing money into the company, because their ability to save labor money for the company is abysmal.

I was asked to drive 80m to reboot a device when I’d said the previous day that rebooting would fix it (it was a phone; there’s almost no real troubleshooting on the platform). I kept quiet about how financially irresponsible the request was. When I got there, the phone was already turned off for other reasons. At least I got to listen to podcasts while I drove there and back.

First boot was MKLinux. Before there were books about Linux in book stores. I had no idea how to login.

We are a barbaric nation. Not all of us. But enough to swing policy over and over and over.

Light it on fire and call it a Yule log.

Rush bragged about how Bush senior carried his bags when he stayed at the White House. He had tremendous political power whether he could command troops (like the PotUS / congress) or not.

Same. How many teens currently vape? Wait, did they not know these substances are harmful?

North Carolina Supreme Court Secretly Squashed Discipline of Two GOP Judges Who Admitted to Violating Judicial Code (www.propublica.org)

Last fall, out of public view, the North Carolina Supreme Court squashed disciplinary action against two Republican judges who had admitted that they had violated the state’s judicial code of conduct, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the decisions....

some_guy ,

Disgusting behavior by GOP is no longer surprising and that, in and of itself, is deeply troubling.

some_guy ,

I’ll believe it when it happens. And if it does, I won’t expect it to stand if the admin flips in November.

some_guy ,

I liked it better when I thought they were welcome the sub/dom community, but I’m also for collective action and worker’s rights. Both are good. Just one felt a bit more fun.

Organize, people. It works.

some_guy ,

I prefer knowing that my relationships are genuine and no one is sucking up or trying to get anything from me.

You might also be able to replace the firmware with something like DD-WRT or OpenWRT or Tomato or other third-party firmware.

I believe at GT archeologists are deliberately leaving sections untouched so that future archaeologists, with better technologies, can use improved techniques. Imagine if the tombs discovered in Egypt in the 1800s hadn’t been destroyed by “primitive” approaches to archeology. But no, it’s a conspiracy.

some_guy ,

It’s pretty cool how you don’t need training or study to be an expert these days. /s

some_guy ,

The only difference between you and the “scientist” who “discovered” these important “Neanderthal” “tools” is confidence. You should work on that. ;-)

some_guy ,

Also: “Please listen closely as our menus have recently changed.”

I remember this. Fuck that guy. Make an example of him. I know the family said they don’t want to ruin his life. Let the prosecutor do it. Bigots have no space in a civilized society.

some_guy ,

By resigning, there’s nothing on his record to prevent getting a job in another department. Hooray! The system works. /s

some_guy ,

Hell, even one if there’s more than one way to do it. I need less responsibility, please.

some_guy ,

Oh, Stevie NO! You can’t go to prison. You’ve got culture war to pedal. We need you spreading bullshit and getting people angry. How can you do that if you can’t be on your stupid little podcast? STEVIE!

some_guy ,

Anti-semitic or anti-zionist? Cause there’s a difference.
