Yeah, though mine doesn’t flicker as fast - it kinds moves in slow waves.
- Comment on And ironically the smaller they are the more vicious they are 1 day ago:
That is SO true.
The mother of my best friend in high school bred Chihuahuas… They had a bitch named Queenie and it was the nastiest little beast I ever met.
You could not lean down to pick an item off the floor as once you did and the dog was within eyesight, she’d leap at your face snapping and biting at it.
I saw her mom get her hand bitten hard by the animal. Ripped the hell out of her palm. After that, I didn’t go over to their house anymore.
I don’t know if the animal was inbred or what, but it definitely wasn’t right in the head. Foul little creature.

I really have no interest in AI. God knows, I can chat with a wall, a tree, a rock or even the air often enough on my own.
Sometimes I even surprise myself with the answers I get.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 4 days ago:
Mom’s sorta right, but also not… If you blast the headphones, yeah, of course it’ll eventually screw your hearing. If you leave them at a level, where you’re able to hear the outside world around you, you’l be fine.

I think you can get an OTC cream for that.

Hehehehe. A joint… yaah… the irony meter is off the chart, considering that the state says “don’t drink and drive” yet maintains several state liquor stores that can only be accessed off of the highways.
Oyyyyy…

It is spendy here. We’ve been in the same apartment for decades. Place is funky, for sure, but it’s home and husband used to work for the landlords family when he was a kid, so we all know each other quite well. Heck the daughter that’s running the rentals now, used to sit on the tree branch that was right outside my living room window when she was 8 or 9 and we’d talk to each other.
We live on a second floor - She was a right little squirrel as a kid!

Perhaps we should create a c/Seacoast community? I’ve been given the heave-ho from Reddit and it’s the local subs I miss the most.
I will look into instgating such a thing.

Livin’ Free, in the states most expensive little city by the mouth of the port.
Kill me now.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 1 week ago:
That fits. I live an hour north of Boston and that is one of the most Bostonian thing… esp. the walking away w/o saying a word. It’s just the Northeast flintiness most native New Englanders have.

- Comment on Anon reaches their breaking point 1 week ago:
That’s not a monitor, it’s an iMac likely from the late teens.
Thing is those will not break like that from just a fist. (I’ve taken them apart and the display panel is pretty shatter resistant, they tend to break in long cracks with little spidering of the panel) Esp, not the way it looks on the very left edge. That was a serious effort with a hammer or something much harder than a knuckle.
Also, I agree with your assessment - there’s no blood on the keyboard or desk or embedded in the glass of the computer itself, and yeah, that kind of damage WILL see blood AND chunks of glass in the knuckles of the hand.
Gotta call fake on this as well. Looks like the kid used a red sharpie on his hand.

Well… that could just maybe be… just you?
Hmmmm.

OED isn’t the only dictionary out there. Oh well.
Good luck with that, folks.
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 week ago:
WRt the menical, it’s more about getting the person t the point of introspection about their choices of who to belive and follow the politics of.
MOST MAGA folks are in need of a single-payer since they don’t have good enough paying jobs to purchase insurance policies through their work (if it’s offered) that have deductibles and co-pays they can afford. The truth of the matter is that the country has let insurers themselves dictate the conversations around access and affordability - as if! - they and they alone have the answers.

I LOVE Rammstein.
Watch their video Deutschland and you’ll get the gist very quickly of what they think of NAZIs and authoritarian, repressive governments in general.
They are absolutely off their tits.
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 week ago:
Well, at least they ARE seeing it now.
At this point, you can work on them to bring it all into focus and the FIRST thing I always say is “you gotta get away from the billionaire controlled cable TV and social media sites…” then I point them to the vanilla news sites that have no editorializing, like AP and Reuters.
If they are open to it, I also point them to using Firefox and adding uBO. Given that sites like fb are now running rage-bait scam ads, the ad-blocking is critical.
A lot of the MAGA folks have been overwhelmed by the noise.

My Alex Jones listening co-worker claimed I had TDS. He was al big on Trump as the Epstein Files were gonna be rel3ased, the economy was going to have all the factories returned to America,food would be cheaper…
I just bit my tongue and said nothing.
Now, with his wife’s medical needs so severe that he’s got almost nothing left at the end of each month, he says to me “How come we can’t get an affordable medical system that covers everyone completely…” to which I said, “Well, we could have that and be like every other civilized nation on Earth, but that’s ‘socialim’ after all and we can’t have that… I mean isn’t that what your right wing radio says?”
He’s gotten awfully silent about lots of that stuff now and I mentioned Epstein files being not released and he lost his shit over it. I told him that there was no more “deep state” it was the State now, and is rght there in Washington DC and in your face. He is no longer disagreeing with that assessment.
I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.
My co-worker took the vinyl “1776” stickers with the tattered flag backgrounds off of his truck and lost all his Trump swag as well.

A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.
Selective Service would like a word with you.
An all-volunteer military isn’t that ironclad an outcome. I can certainly see service being used to leverage young men and of course “inform” them with nationalistic propaganda.
