So this woman, Mandy Gunasekara who perports to be from the “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”, is actually a bullshit artist who actually doesn’t believe in science, right? I’d be curious to know if there is anyone else from “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”…

So Twitter is profusely bleeding advertisers (Elon Musk, gOoD aT bIzNuS) and we know Tucker Carlson drove them away from Fox by the barrel. So I see where this is going. They’re gonna charge (whether its Twitter Blue or extra) for the ability to watch the show. Elon will think this will be some brilliant move to…

These photos SHOULD be shown.

The sanitation effect allows for easier control of narratives. Emmet Till and his mother deciding to hold her son’s funeral open-casket is an example that the gory details matter, because it teaches.

Or TV and movies where someone who gets shot usually gets to carry on heroically for a bit and the only visible evidence is a slowly-growing red stain on their shirt, as opposed to reality where it’s softball-sized chunks of flesh ripped from their bodies at best.

On this I think they should always post the raw images of a mass shooting, let people see the reality of it. If their face is still intact then blur out the faces. People are too far removed and don’t realize how much damage these weapons do to a human being. They watch youtube videos of a medical dummy getting shot…

A wealthy region’s governments actually coming up with a practical solution instead of just a new way to treat unhoused people like subhumans?

Your perspective is very limited; people have always been overworked and underpaid. Look at Japan in the 70s, 80s, and 90s: they were seriously overworked people there but they didn’t go on violent rampages. And even in America, with the constant assault on labor by each successive GOP-led Congress or Presidency,…

Yeah, that partisan stance is always what gets me. If I mention I don't like president X, I get quizzed on why I love president Y. Why is not liking X a sign of love for Y? Can't I not like either? 

That’s the continuous data rate; they can actually transmit at a higher rate and occasionally do send higher bursts of 2.8 kbps when they send packets of data from the plasma wave instruments. Still, in the beginning, the continuous data rate was much higher — 21.6 kbps. The reason it has dropped is actually not due…

I liked my Droid and Droid 2 for same reason.

I was just watching a Linus Tech Tips and he was talking about this. Apparently we don’t really miss it and it’s way worse than we remember it being. I fondly remember it, but I have a small BB-ish keyboard/touchpad combo I use for server work and it sucks to use for more than easy configs. I think that touch screens…

We can only hope “this” gets ruined for everyone. Nobody needs guns. Get rid of them all.

I can’t stand the good guy rhetoric. There’s 50,000 deaths, and “they” claim 500,000-2,000,000 instances annually where a gun prevented a crime.

In a reasonable country, even ‘stand your ground’ would cease to apply if the person you’re shooting at is *retreating*.

Stand your ground laws are deeply flawed and this gun waving lunatic should be behind bars. Just because someone is on your property doesn’t give you the right to shoot them. All of the firearms in this house need to be impounded and never given back and the owner needs to be banned from ever owning a gun again. Davie…

the investigation has been closed due to no evidence proving “a criminal act was committed by either party.”

These are times when a good guy with a gun would have...helped...somehow? Or when more guns would have made the country...safer...right? Well, I mean, you have to stand your ground against...people who are lost?

“No state permit is required for the purchase of any rifle, shotgun, or handgun in Montana. Montana amended its law in 2021 to allow permitless concealed carry.”

Don’t dilute the brine. In fact, concentrate it instead until there’s only solids left.
