You can thank CNN, MSNBC, Faux News, and all the rest of corporate media for that. For normalizing all Trump’s bullshit instead of calling it out and then viewing Trump as legitimate candidate after that. When what they should have been doing is saving democracy by express outrage at everything he said and did.

A surprise to no one...

Couldn’t an argument be made that this constitutes fraud?

Oh the API was abandoned long before Microsoft bought it.

I’m old enough to remember when Mojang promised a proper API for developing mods and never delivered.

‘Try on a hijab’ sounds like a great way to dispel the myth that the hijab exists solely as a symbol of oppression.

Okay let’s take a moment and consider Hannity’s argument. Essentially his argument is that the message that is trying to be conveyed is that Trump and his supporters are ideologically opposed to the positions held by members like Ilhan Omar.

I look forward to seeing all the Blue Lives Matter proponents stand in solidatory with Officer Gaston. Perhaps they will come to the realization that they are by extension supporting Black Lives Matter, and through that realize that the aforementioned movement seeks to highlight the disparity of how persons of color…

There are so many terrifying bits to unpack in your relatively short story and I don’t know which is actually ‘worse’:

For about 2 years now I’ve been getting e-mails meant for someone who lives in South Carolina. She’s been very interested in refinancing her home and LoanDepot keeps trying to contact her via e-mail but she never responds.

Right? This is why I don’t understand the argument against single-payer.

Doesn’t make sense to me. Pack of Post-it notes cost me a couple bucks, I can take notes for the entire year or longer, and have replacements for my camera cover. Or I can spend the same amount of money, and just get a plastic dongle that covers my camera. And that’s it

Just curious, but you do realize that if someone has control of your camera, they’re in full control of the rest of your machine, right?

Yeah but I’ve found that when the tape inevitably shrinks and grows brittle it leaves behind an ugly residue.  The post-it I’m using covers everything up nicely and the glue isn’t nearly as strong. 

I have never used Zoom.

Our godson is in that bartering stage... ‘just 1 more...’ or ‘but if I could...’ The approach my husband is to set ground-rules before whatever activity occurs, and then we stick to them.

A friend gifted us this crappy Netgear wifi-extender a couple years back, the kind that plugs into a wall outlet and just creates a ‘_EXT’ copy of your network. We use it to trick our PS4 into thinking it has a wired connection.

You call it a very weird solution... I call it an excellent one.

Personally I am glad that people are realizing that someone who says nice things and seems very likable isn’t qualified for president for saying nice things and seeming very likable.

Not at all. I just refuse to let go of holding Splinter and other blogs that purport to be reliable sources of news and information to some standard of what ‘reliable’ ought to be.
