“My daughter, who was always mad about my guns, agreed to come see my new gun. I don’t know how it accidentally shot her in the head.”

That a grand jury in TX didn’t move on this is a real indictment of the citizens of that state. But we already knew what sort of people live there and are proud of their politics.

Guess what car I won’t buy.

Ostanin was also convicted of offending the feelings of Christians with another off-colour joke he made about Jesus, which angered Orthodox nationalists.

This is arguably the greater crime. Fuck off religious people, keep that shit to yourself and don’t bother others about it.

Asked by the judge on Wednesday whether he understood his sentence, Ostanin said: “To hell with your judicial practice. No, I don’t.”

This guy is a fucking badass. What a terrible shame. Hope he comes out on the other side in one piece.

No. I can’t think of a better way of mobilizing the people than taking away internet. This won’t happen. If it does, it will be a disaster.

Once again is not accurate. The surge is unlike anything before. It’s pretty incredible and that speaks to how badly they have fucked up. There was an article about how they are reevaluating their AI stuffs. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know, but that it could be plausible says a lot.

Probably the only good outcome of the second Trump admin is countries moving off of USA tech. I’m here for it.

I know who’s getting kidnapped next!

Oh shit, did he just make me respect him more than I already did?

He’s the smartest man in generations. He said we don’t need vaccines and now I’m ok to eat roadkill without worrying about parasites. What a hero.

My dad almost died from polio. Vaccines are a major part of my existing (my mother got vaccinated against it). Fuck this guy.

I WANT A BRAINWORM. LET’S LEAVE A DEAD BEAR IN CENTRAL PARK AND TELL THAT RACIST SHITHEAD ROSANNE ABOUT IT!

Something else that just occurred to me… It’s only a matter of time before we kidnap Zelensky to end Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Is he still the non-interventionist candidate? /s

Put this piece of shit in jail.

I understand your point, but they seem to have subjugated Hong Kong pretty successfully. I would agree with you more if that hadn’t recently happened.

Those panels must have been the “apologizing for being white” that JD mentioned.

I take deliberate breaks from stuff like Lemmy and the news. I only came back here after a multi-month break this month. It works.

We shall torrent if the archive link goes down. I’m already hosting Israeli crimes in Gaza and the Patriot Front leak. Expose nazi fucks. Do your part.

Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.

Good thinking. High risk. Impressed that you thought ahead to avoid the risk. I like the home entertainment suggestion, but you could also use the extra cycles to run containers or VMs in the background. I know you said you already have a server, so I’m trying to think what else would provide utility. Nice find, hope you come up with some fun projects.

I wouldn’t count on much. I think it was Jordan that signed an agreement on water rights and now Israel is refusing to honor the agreement? Either way, they are just like the USA admin. They’ll promise things and reneg on the agreement when it suits them.

I run Movary on my NAS in a docker container so that my partner has a place to add to our watch-list.

I also run a personal kbase that I built on top of Docbase and Markdown files.

And I recently started using HTTP2Shell to throw commands at a local networked device. This is useful to me personally, maybe not for others, because I’ve written my own automations.

I recently considered adding Home Assistant, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen because we have lamps that don’t remain in an “on” state when unplugged; any devices I might buy to add wifi to them wouldn’t actually turn them on remotely as a result. Shame cause there’s one that’s pretty necessary at night that’s between a wall and a sofa that’s pushed back against it because that’s just the layout of the room. I don’t mind manually controlling the others, but that was the one that would have been nice to trigger from my phone. Our thermostat and robot vacuum would have been on the same system, but they already have dedicated apps anyway.

You’re only limited by your imagination and curiosity (and wallet).
