SARGE

I'm noticing a LOT of people nowadays would have absolutely been nazis in nazi Germany, just because "it's perfectly legal and any disobedience is illegal, or isn't hurting Hitler himself and therefore is pointless"

MC Hammer: Greatest Hit.

Before I even read: it's phishing, and it's nothing new. There's no evidence supporting anyone has broken this level of E2EE.

After reading: oh look. Surprise. This is my surprised face.

This just screams of "we want backdoors to be forced into encrypted things so we have even more control"

Yeah, sit down and accept the fascist takeover and don't bother vandalizing their symbols because that's against their law.

Wouldn't want to do anything crazy like protest in a non violent way, and heaven forbid anything more extreme happen! This is basically domestic terrorism.

Treated lumber is a thing, and in my experience it's harder to light than carbon fiber and resin.

My garage almost burned down once because I didn't notice sparks from my angle grinder were pooling on a CF/R panel, and it set off a couple other things (paper towel bar, shop towel, solvent residue close to the towel) while I ran to the extinguisher.

This "article" is just an ad, and shouldn't exist without actual journalism going on, but let's not pretend wood can't be fire resistant.

I love the repeated panels, almost like the path is checking to see if anyone looking before it shifts.

Well, I ate the title. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I legitimately expect there to be something negative about unions in it. Whether it's a "corrupt union boss" or a union strike blamed for something bad happening.

We know how to handle fascist nazis.

A lot of the developed world rallied together to do it around the 1940s.

A lot of people have trouble feeling like this, and is a big part of the sunk cost fallacy I think. "I know I'll like it more later" then eventually becomes "well I've made it this far".

You like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. You can't really change that. It's okay to put something down if you aren't engaging with it.

Anecdote ahead:

I keep telling my wife if she doesn't like one of my books, I won't be offended if she stops reading.

But she feels like it's just her "being dumb" and that she'll like it more next chapter.

I took her to half price books the other day so we could get a bunch of books she likes, and the only reason she decided to buy as many as she did was because "we can sell them back to the store" even though I fully intend in giving away any books she won't read.

The $2 I'll get back for it isn't worth the 45 minute trip there. And someone will probably get more than $2 worth of entertainment from it.

I created a nerd, send bookshelves...

This is why I occasionally watch Bing bong theorem.

It's garbage, it's offensive to several groups of people (some more than others), and it has a laugh track.

By all my standards, it's garbage, with garbage characters played by( a couple) garbage people actors, and half the time it's not funny at all, not just "not as funny as it thinks it is"

But.... I still like to watch an episode here or there.

Don't get me started on all the people who tell me I should love it because I'm a nerd and I "like space". Usually these people don't understand why the "smart" jokes aren't actually smart and usually they're giving just enough of a "you need basic education to understand this" so that when the average viewer understands it, they can feel good about themselves for being oh so smart and understanding all that nerd stuff.

And of course you can't bring any of that up without sounding like a pretentious douche who wants people to think they're smarter than they are.

So uh... Hi, I guess I'm a pretentious douche. IM SMRT

Like what you like, fuck the h8rz.

Weird how there was no end to "states rights* stuff for the last four years, but the four years before that was strangely quiet. And I distinctly remember about 8 years before that where it was all they would talk about... And tan suits for some reason... Just a weird coincidence....

Suuuuuuper weird.
