I’d say they’re an asshole and leave it at that.
- Comment on Why don't people afraid of AI instead use it while they can to make decent money? 1 week ago:
It’s transient at best, with AI. It’s still to new and there will be a ton of ventures tied to it that fail in the long run of it.
People need long term happiness and stability and right now the industry is in disruption mode and creating too much future uncertainty.
- Comment on Is it true that airport customs can legally demand access to your unlocked phone? 1 week ago:
That only works as long as you use those login options. If you stick to a PIN code only… well… whoop!
There it is. Too bad, so sad…
- Comment on Is it true that airport customs can legally demand access to your unlocked phone? 1 week ago:
Yup. So when you travel, get a budget flip phone that you can load up with minutes and take a proper digital camera.
Last trip I took out west, I took an old laptop and threw a small SSD in it and added a fresh OS install, so the computer had NOTHING but pictures from my camera on it and a hundred+ albums from my music collection.
No logins on ANY sites at all.
(I only have a handful of social media sites I go to and have the logins committed to memory, but when travelling, I don’t need to actually login, since I’m out and about actually visiting and doing shit and not sitting at the computer banging away on it…)
It’s the only way to handle travel safely, so you run no chance of your privacy actually being exposed.
When I got home I swapped the main drive back in and transferred the photos to it.
Happy, happy, joy, joy.
- Comment on How do you keep your shit organized? 1 week ago:
Well… since milk crates hold 4 gallons and the rest of the world’s metric… Maybe they sit on fish tubs?
- Comment on How do I get the damn cat to understand I can feed myself? 1 week ago:
Ehhhh… We thought about it, but we decided that a pet wasn’t something we could emotionally or financially afford.
We had a great run with Celia the Monster and both missed her fiercely and just didn’t ever want to put ourselves through that again.
Also, we can take off for a few days and not have to worry about food, water and the rest of it.
- Comment on How do you keep your shit organized? 1 week ago:
You in the States?
Start looking around for milk crates. They stack.
- Comment on How do I get the damn cat to understand I can feed myself? 2 weeks ago:
My cat was lousy catching birds… but man, did she ever open a can of whoop-ass on the mice, rabbits and squirrels.
Since she’s been dead - the fucking squirrels managed to get into the rafters (which are finally getting closed up as I type this) and we’ve had three mouse infestation waves. The rabbits have completely wiped out the backyard garden now, 5 years running.

It’s the stuff like this that makes me have hope for humanity… that people can create absolute silliness for it’s own sake, is pure delight!

Looks like a whirled map to me!
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 4 weeks ago:
This is exactly the difference between kids and adults.
You’re reading a lot of posts from kids that wear their hearts on their sleeves and advocate for what they think is the “good” side.
There is a way to block the .ml instance, I did so within the first week I joined.
It winnows out the kids.

…As for today I wonder what their goal is…
There is no goal other than wealth accumulation. It’s a barefaced embrace of the “Gilded Age” corruption and excesses that existed before the bottom fell out in the early 20th century. On a high speed setting.
The underlying vibe is that there is an economic collapse coming (this is why we are in the “Late Stage Capitalism” phase where the middle class is now being eaten alive) and the power brokers and wealthy are grabbing as much as they can before it all falls apart.
Fun times ahead.
America is falling, and this should be an object lesson for the world in what happens when the billionaire classes are allowed to do what they want.
It is okay to set a maximum level of wealth for the ultra wealthy in your country. If not, do everything in your power to limit their policical power.
Protect yourselves.

Being angry at “the west” is easy, as it’s an open book.
Let’s investigate other societies and see how transparent their imperial actions are.
Ehhh, not so easy to do…
Whatever.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 4 weeks ago:
Yup. One of the first things I did.

I though they were running food banks and offering legal aid to poor folks.

Ah, yes… then narcissist is the one.

I’ve often thought the word “asshole” fits…
- Comment on Cultural impact 1 month ago:
I think it fell into a ton of tropes is all. Eh, it was a product of it’s time - as all films are - and I found it similar to Dances With Wolves. Banged up protaginist, left broken by his service goes to the frontier and finds a new life…
There it is…
- Comment on Cultural impact 1 month ago:
Oh - and I do think the idea of trees with shared root systems forming a planet-wide distributed consciousness is actually pretty awesome sci-fi.
Spot-on.
- Comment on Cultural impact 1 month ago:
Never seemed to be marketed that way.
I like the films - then again, I’m a sucker for big cinema and IMAX 3D, so from an eye-candy perspective, it’s glorious. Is the story anything earth-shaking? Of course not. It’s escapist fluff… but oh… how it looks.
- Comment on Did you realize that there was a time long ...long ....ago when people paid for every thing with cash or a check 1 month ago:
NGL, I remember when MasterCharge did it’s big rollout across the US. And when it changed it’s name to MasterCard… Fuck… that was a long time ago…
- Comment on Should street racers who accidentally kill people really go to prison? 1 month ago:
No, it was not a mistake. It was a choice to race on a street and not on a track where crashes and collisions aren’t likely to kill anyone but the driver.
Throw the motherfuckin’ book at anyone street racing. Stupid reckless children. Utterly irresponsible.
- Comment on oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI 1 month ago:
I hear Kash got called out recently by a senator for being a drunk on the job.
You know, the more I read up on these clowns, I am beginning to wonder if the whole declarations of this group, that group and the others as being terrorists and a threat to national security… actually it’s all theater made up to hide just how incompetent the current crop of Trump asskissers all really are.
Weird timeline we’re in right now, for sure.
- Comment on oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI 1 month ago:
“…internent related crimes …”
Yup… usually involving massive IP theft, CSAM, financial fraud or data breaches… AND often driven by industrial/financial/legal entities.
First Amendment speech issues around people venting about a government that right now, seems to have pissed EVERONE off, isn’t likely going to get much traction outside of Kash Patel’s brownnosing FBI circle-jerk.

I would get that “adblockers are against the YT TOS” message. If I refreshed the page, it would work every third time or so.
Weird.

My one beef with AdNauseam is that for some reason on my system, it acts really wonky on youtube. Otherwise, it’s a gem.

Oh holy cats…! Thanks for that link, that guy is most deligtfully awkward and funny… I had a blast watching the video. Really like that channel.

Yeah, uBO for android phones and 1blocker for iOS devices… and only use browsers - not apps - to access shit online.
Tha ad’s bullshit.

Nope. Ever lose a shoulder strap on a bra?
That’s not something the wearer would miss…
