I quote this movie weekly at least, often with sound effects that make people think I'm crazy. Love this live action cartoon.

The aesthetics are incredible. It's one of the best looking movies ever. But the plot's got some holes. It's fun and pretty but not great.

So I just finished reading the motion filed by Luigi's lawyer and it kind of sounds like this warning might be in response to that. One argument put forward is that the only evidence of an attempt to cause fear in a generalized population (justifying the terrorism charges) is actually information that the police themselves publicized. The lawyer argues that the only atmosphere of fear in the case was created by the police. So it seems the judge may want to remind officials that they are fucking this up by bragging about it so loudly.

Imagine being a person whose family member was killed by an immigrant or something similarly horrible. Imagine the government just shipping that guy off without a trial, without a chance to put the evidence on the table and show beyond a shadow of a doubt they killed your family member. Is that justice?

Yes, they often take the form of shields, seven pointed stars, and Punisher skulls. These things identify them as street-roaming gang bangers and armed thugs.

As a staunch antitheist, I really can't disagree. The unitarians are pretty great. I personally know a minister and he's very big on community outreach, supporting other local support programs like our independent food rescue, and preaching a very positive and inclusive message with minimal woo. And he has never once asked me to attend church.

So idealistically (I know, there are regional, logistical, financial, and other challenges, but idealistically) the people on strike are actively pooling and distributing their resources to help the people who are put out worse by it. That hopefully sustains people long enough for the strike to win out and for people to return to work with their problems remedied.

Honestly, just about anything in the web application hosting vein. httpd, nginx, redis/memcached, varnish, etc. You could make an argument that MS-SQL outperforms Postgres sometimes, but in my book, the cost of entry isn't worth it and I've only ever used Postgres since I left an explicitly Microsoft shop many years ago.

It means if your abuser comes back to you and swears they've changed and they can totally be a part of your life again... You can tell them to fuck off forever because you can't forgive what they did to you. It means not feeling bad about that.

This is essentially what the existing research shows, that transition regret is quite low as compared to regret for other things like medical or cosmetic surgeries, and that most regret concerns how they're perceived and treated in society.

 

I like the flow state I get into when I'm focusing on small detailed things.

 

Fight the real enemy

 

Using a desktop browser, I click "Communities" in the top-left, taking me to https://lemm.ee/communities Now I see a list of communities, and I can filter by those I'm subbed to, those on the local instance, and "all" federated communities. This all works well. However, I would like to sort this list by the number of subscribers. The column header changes the mouse cursor so it looks clickable, but nothing apparently happens. There are no messages in the JavaScript console, and no requests are made to the server.

So I dug in a little bit and found that the ListCommunities API call supports a "sort" field. However, the valid SortType values it refers to don't appear to align very well with the fields on the Communities page. I tried a handful of odd sort values in the URL like ?sort=Hot but they didn't change anything in the results.

Is this just a not-yet-implemented feature? If I were to raise an issue against the source code about this, what would be the appropriate codebase to do that in?
