  I think the key here is “we”. Collectively if people had a common understanding of what is going on in the world they would be appalled and demand more of our leaders (or get new ones)

  Instead people vaguely know what is going on, through the biased lense of their news sources.

  I think if you asked most Americans who Netanyahu is and what he is doing you’d get a blank stare. If you ask them what is up with tswift they would excitedly explain that she just got engaged and recently had a crazy expensive tour.

  How any of this gets corrected is beyond me, and that’s exactly how the people in power want it.

  Probably the same reason my six year old dog is still my puppy. She is just a baby after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no limit to the potatoes you can grow. The only limit is your imagination.

  If you live in a place where cultivating cannabis is prohibited, and your power usage spikes, you may be placed under surveillance.

  If you have an HOA or city ordinances about the condition of your yard you might get a slap on the wrist if your potato farm is unsightly. Otherwise, as not a lawyer, grow on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Developers are still familiar with the concept, there are even ideas like server side rendering in react to make sites more SEO friendly.

  I think the biggest issue is that there is very little business reason to support these users. Sites can be sued over a lack of accessibility and they can lose business from bad ux, so they are going to focus in those two areas ten times out of ten before focusing on noscript and lynx users. SEO might be a compelling reason to support it, but only companies that really have their house in order focus in those concerns.

  I made it through. Maybe next time.

  I won’t be using them, ha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport."⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sitting in an airport right now. Great.

  Accurate.

  Little bit of spray cleaner and a cotton rag.

  Can’t a person just enjoy some dick shaped food in the privacy of their own front yard?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse engineering the server is reverse engineering the whole game. It’s going to require skilled engineers and a significant time investment. It may be possible, but not practical.

  Also, the client will likely verify it is talking to a legitimate server by checking a certificate, so you may also have to hack the client too.

  At some point you’re better off working a job and coming up with the $50 or making your own game with hookers and blackjack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not okay.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly this year they are really prevalent in my area. In prior years I haven’t seen nearly as many.

  I’m intentionally avoiding lawn treatments and insecticides this year. I love my yard, but I’m also thinking about switching to clover.

  It’ll go on sale for $15 eventually. I can wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The D.E.N.N.I.S ship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the grammar and capitalization is too normal. The president isn’t smart enough to write something coherent.

  Wayne was my first thought, definitely his style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMC to Slash Movie Ticket Prices by 50% on Wednesdays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My problem is there are so few good movies coming out. I’m completely over the superhero crap. I don’t want to see the next random Star Wars thing. I don’t want a remake of a classic film I loved when I was younger.

  There are some originals coming out, and that makes me happy, but I think the key is having good movies people actually want to see.

  That said I’m interested in seeing Sinners, but I’ll probably wait to stream it, lol.

  Give it a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is anti-propaganda?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the people that say they are anti-antifa.

  "Anti-propaganda aims to undermine the effectiveness of propaganda by exposing its manipulative tactics, providing alternative perspectives, or offering factual information to counter biased claims.

  I’d pick my battles and try to address the most harmful lines of thought first. Like anything medical for example. Deprogramming is a popular topic online so there are some resources out there.

  Best of luck, it’ll be difficult until you find a foothold.

  One way ticket to Flavor Town.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Sergey Brin Says Engineers Should Work 60-Hour Weeks in Office to Build AI That Could Replace Them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My CEO is starting to get ideas. I work at a startup, and recently they have been floating 60-80 hour work weeks. So far it has been an idle threat and is really just their hail Mary play, but big players doing this shit is really worrying as far as normalizing it.

  I’m more productive than ever, and the punishment seems to be piling on even more work in order to chase those short term profits.
