“I don’t want them to advertise,” Musk said. “If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go f*** yourself. Go. F***. Yourself,” he said. “Is that clear? Hey Bob [Iger, CEO of Disney], if you’re in the audience, that’s how I feel."

No you’re right. It’s like Mitch Hedberg used to say about drinking though… Still does, but he used to too.

They are, but Wells Fargo too.

If you ask a Marine they’ll confirm that they’re a department of the Navy, but then qualify it as “the men’s department” before devolving into a yut-fest

Absolutely one of the worst takes I’ve seen.

These aren’t settlers and they weren’t running a Canadian Indian school burying children out back either. Kids trying to share their beliefs (misguided as they may be) aren’t colonizers and if they aren’t welcome, execution is not the right answer you troglodyte.

It’s not rocket science to expect a society to condemn extrajudicial violence. Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad about it.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

Have you been to East Oregon or Idaho? They’re way ahead of you. Looking for an extremist compound and lax gun laws? Look no further. Good potatoes though…

Man is it refreshing to hear a Taiwanese perspective in the mix. Every post, every comment is a bunch of armchair “experts” talking about an issue they clearly haven’t the slightest personal experience or context for. Not to come off as a jerk but it sure would be nice to hear what the actual people involved think instead of rank speculation. Reminds me of all the infectious disease experts during covid and military strategists in Feb 2022.

Initial capability of 90x truckloads of aid per day, scaling up to planned 150x loads capacity. 500x needed a day to meet the requirement and vastly more inefficient than simply driving it in. JLOTS is not a replacement or even a fraction of the need for simply opening the Rafah gate—where aid trucks are already staged to drive aid through without needing to add dock operations to the equation.

I wonder where it got it’s name from?

First off, we’re free speech absolutists and censoring Hunter Biden’s dickpics was the crime of the century.

Secondly, anyone who disagrees with our unfathomably narrow worldview should be met with the full might of the state!

Free speech! (but not like that)

Ah yes, the kind of sovereignty that doesn’t have a monopoly on the state use of violence. That kind of sovereignty.

Sadly this noble soldier would not survive to see victory in Europe as most records point to the great beast becoming a casualty in the battle of the bulge.

T-Rex warfare was best suited to the Pacific theater, but strategic priorities resulted in bringing even suboptimal resources and weapon systems to the German offensive.

RIP sweet prince, RIP.

[RECIPE] Sushi Bake (files.catbox.moe)

Since there was some curiosity about what a sushi-bake is, here’s my own recipe for it. Sushi-bake is basically a “deconstructed” sushi roll where the ingredients are layered instead of rolled then baked in the oven. There are different variations of how it’s made, so this is my take on it. Apologies if I don’t have...

thechadwick ,

So big okonomoyaki then? I mean it does look like it would taste good.

There’s plenty of great commentary here about why Christianity is divided up into different sects, but I think you’re primarily interested in the narcissism of small differences. (…wikipedia.org/…/Narcissism_of_small_differences)

Basically, if you’ve read about Dr. Suess’ Starbellied Sneeches, you get the idea. Human brains are exceptional pattern recognition machines, and when a society is so homogenously Christian then those small differences become the cleavages along which identities form. That leads to things like Catholic / Christian divisions and the formation of the best joke in The Guardian history:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

With all due respect, this is not reflective of the protestant revival movement in the US in the 1800s. The second awakening was absolutely a bunch of rival interpretations of the word claiming they were right b/c (insert reason here).

I probably should have been more specific in my original reply but when we’re taking about US “Catholics aren’t Christians” that’s 100 percent the origin of the trope. I can’t speak to the Irish version but I’d challenge anyone about it in the US. That’s why we needed an Ecumenism movement in the first place after all.

Phew… and what a dive that was. What a waste of a channel. I don’t mind the AvE stuff nearly as much as the insufferable persecution complex of WS though.

You would just not believe the regulatory burden of maintaining magical creature flying safety regime too.

You drop a simple glove off directing and 30min later, boom. You’ve got a gnome commission setting up barriers around it and paperwork for weeks to come…

US Army is slashing thousands of posts in major revamp to prepare for future wars (apnews.com)

The U.S. Army is slashing the size of its force by about 24,000, or almost 5%, and restructuring to be better able to fight the next major war, as the service struggles with recruiting shortfalls that made it impossible to bring in enough soldiers to fill all the jobs....

thechadwick ,

This is not accurate. It’s a provacative narrative, but the heyday for private military contractors passed a decade ago. Blackwater was such a disaster for the military, they relegated 99% of contractor jobs to BDOC/BOSI (tower guards etc) roles ages ago.

This move is almost certainly related to transitions from limited counterterrorism structures to great power conflict Army force design. The military has missed it’s recruitment goals by massive numbers in the past couple years, and filling obsolete positions is actually impacting Forces Command from meeting their manning strength mandates.

I fully expect to see more of these changes announced over the next 3-5 years as military procurement and restructuring guidelines catch up with implementation timelines. But this is categorically not evidence of a large scale plan to turn active soldiers into PMC personnel (to work around rules of engagement restrictions). There’s manpower shortages as it is, and there’s no institutional incentive to make those shortages more drastic than they already are.

It’s pretty heavily curated, but it’s where I go for non-bot discussion on any variety of topics. Sorted hierarchically, and they keep out the riff raff pretty actively.

Unless of course, you’re on a movie set and the armorer has called it a cold gun and pointing it towards people is part of the movie.

Then it might be the fault of the person who knowingly co-mingled live and blank ammo in gross disregard for any kind of safety procedures.

Yes if you are handling a firearm, you have a responsibility to know safety procedures. But in film, obviously you have different familiarity levels with weapon handling. That’s why you hire an armorer who enforces safety procedures. So non-shooter actors handle prop weapons with blanks.

Now, arguably as a co-producer Alec may have had some culpability in hiring an unqualified armorer? Somehow I doubt he was heavily involved in those kind of nitty gritty hiring decisions. Seems significantly more plausible that those decisions were made by the actual producers who work for a living and not the a-lister who gets titled co-producer for SAGAFTRA billing purposes…

Call me crazy, I know.

Another post mentioned just giving cash anonymously and I think that’s easily the best option. You would almost certainly have access to their mailbox if it’s a suburban stand alone type? If not, an unmarked envelope under the door, with cash, would preserve plausible distance from making the neighbor feel like they have to decline out of etiquette.

Don’t think about it more, they clearly need the help if they mentioned it, and if you can help without feeling the impact just do so without strings or direct attribution. They’ll suspect it, and can if they approach you in genuine thanks if they want, then you’re able to be gracious about accepting, or simply act surprised and happy that such a nice thing happened if not.

I’ve had people clearly embarrassed at the grocery checkout take a 50$ bill I claimed fell out of their pocket before several times. Preserves their dignity even if it’s just a pretext for helping. Puts the ball in their court at least. “Hey man, I don’t know what to say but it’s not mine. Pay it forward for someone who needs help if it’s not yours” is the worst that’s ever gone for me before. Nobody likes being a charity case.

Yeah! The US is totally a paper tiger! They’ve never even shown their military industrial complex is capable of effectively disrupting entire regions from the other side of the world!

I used to love Reply All before Alec Goldman’s shenanigans (awful behavior) came to light. So it was a real bright spot for me to find that PJ’s pod has almost everything I loved about Reply All. He’s willing to pursue things past the point any reasonable person with a job would and I love it. If you want a deep dive about whatever rabbit hole that takes his interest for the episode, it’s a great place imo.

Sorry for your loss…

ListenBrainz passes 25k users! (feddit.nl)

Allow me to spread the word about ListenBrainz. ListenBrainz is a FOSS project that aims to crowdsource listening data from digital music and release it under an open license. Basically it’s Last.fm but better. Whatever you use to listen to music, you can probably link it up with ListenBrainz. All ListenBrainz listening data...

thechadwick ,

Last.fm used to have a Pandora radio aspect to it, but lost the race with YouTube music, Spotify, etc.

The thing that last.fm had that made them unique is what they call scrobbling. Basically they kept track of what users were listening to and made links between user preferences that you can use to find new music. I mean they used to, and they still do too, but with far far fewer users. Think Spotify’s year in review, but running constantly.

Honestly, it’s pretty great. I still hop on from time to time, because it’s a great way to find less well known bands. Makes me sad for when it was better used though…
