The most baffling thing to me about that whole “data buying scandal” is that the government was PAYING for it and not just seizing it saying “yeah you’re giving us that, here’s a gag order so you cant talk about it”

Introducing; Inheritable, non-dischargable Debt! Because your aging parents needed more options to completely fuck over the next generation. Coming soon to a failed species near you!

Kind proud to have been banned from reddit world news (pre-API BS) for calling out the Israel bootlicker spam and downvote bot armies.

It’s disgusting how obviously evil Israel has treated the west bank for so long that only now people care, and only now are people calling on the government to put an end to it. I recall having read an article about at least 1 Jewish community protest having been marked “antisemetic”

Tolkien had a very unique medical condition; absolutely massive appendix

As I recall they got Zuckerberg on stand and did their best “rabble rablle rabble” at him, with a few decent questions mixed in, then nothing.

Good to hear! Love it when a megacorp gets the screws now and again, wish it happened more frequently (specifically to ISPs who took government funds for fiber infrastructure)

I recall reading a meme about the ocean being bullshit, something along the lines of “the most common way to die on land is something making your blood fall out”.

Not necessarily! Could be juuust strong enough to sear the exterior of your body and slowly dissolve you over days.

Wow, 2-4* whole months of payments on a 30 year mortgage, what an incentive! /s

Great for all 1-2 thousand of them. For the rest of us it means fuck all to take 5K off the top of a deposit on a 500K house, nor does it make it make sense for a landlord special “remodel” from a house flipper to cost as much as much as it does.

Housing as an investment model is bullshit.

Fun fact! If you befriend crows, they might bring you shiny things, but more importantly, descendants of the crows that you befriend will remember you and ALSO be your friend! Yay corvids, smart birdies!

I really need to go back and dive into act 3, I just kinda stopped after getting there.

“Humane” is such a weird word twisted into somehow meaning “ethical” or “moral”.

Haven’t seen the second movie yet but the first one really conveyed the grotesque nature of Baron Harkonnen perfectly, the subtle spine popping noises as the suit activates are just chefs kiss

I remember reading something about batman achieving some form of omnipotence, looking into who the joker was and found there were 3 different ones?

I like the pasta straws as a concept, stays solid AND something will eat it when disposed of. Win win!

Hell, if they can at least be decent enough to ALLOW self-hosting servers, that’d be great

Rarely above 23c (73f) sounds delightful, I spent roughly 6 years of my childhood on RAF Feltwell in the UK so I’m already somewhat familiar to the rain

Look forward to being able to rip that bandaid off someday myself. Male dominated field (gov IT) AND work directly adjacent to a parent. Shits awkward AF. And that weird awkward feeling/desire(?) somebody will find out anyway and not having to rip it off myself.

Until then, chipping away at egg. sheared Shaved legs yesterday and marveled at an array of freckles I have never really noticed before. Might actually use the insurance I’ve been paying for for years for the first time, actually deal with ADHD I haven’t been medicated for in 16 years

Thanks! Yeah, no clue on how supportive this parent might be, they keep things close to the chest with a tendency to make uncomfortable jokes, used to be worse but they’ve improved over time (other parent prooobably would be supportive, and generally keeps this parent in check on some matters). On the bright side I’m already no-contact with grandparents in general for other reasons so not a lot of family to care about there!

I should have taken pictures of the hair… I’ve been chipping away for days and just said fuck it yesterday and did the rest from butt to toes 😅

Mostly still in this job because it gives me a great opportunity to develop a wide skillset, would like to move away eventually. Getting a bit tired of politics making me guess if I’m still going to get paid…
