It could be on any of the 4 or 5 virtual servers I had access to at the time. Those don’t tend to go down for hardware replacements. But even if it did - the script started on boot so reboots wouldn’t kill it. As long as none of the dependencies break it should last for quite some time (at least until which ever…

I mean, as far as I know it isn't. Hopefully it hasn't evolved a hatred for its creators. 

I made a tumblr bot once that just posted random numbers that look like GPS coordinates, random country names, and a bunch of gibberish, and signed it all with PGP. It’s still going because I don’t actually remember what server it’s running on to turn it off - it may be running on a friends VPS or something. I also…

So uhh - this is going to be a bit awkward. Others have already said that finding child porn is a super serious crime and a red flag the size of the continental US, so I won’t belabor that point.

I think I see what you are trying to say - in that calling people monsters for doing monstrous things makes it easy to dismiss people who aren’t overtly, mustache twirling villains, because even the worst people can seem like great people. In fact, abusers count on that cognitive dissonance to get away with what they…

Thank you.

Ever think the devil has enough advocates?

I mean.. one side might be a bit too cozy with banks when they are in power but the other side is literally putting kids in concentration camps so....

I think part of the problem with older games is that often times the gameplay doesn’t age well. Those of us that played those games and have fond memories of them played them in an era when the gameplay was brand new. Take a look at N64's 007 Golden Eye - I love that game, I spent so many hours playing it and at the…

Yes - but in this case (and it’s an extreme one) the creator specifically said that the game was not trying to make any political statement. It’s the same idea as The Division in that in uses power structures and systems from the real world as inspiration (or copying directly) and then the creative leads say that…

Do you feel the same way about games like Detriot: Become Human where the android rights movement explicitly uses things like “Android Lives Matter” and “hands up don’t shoot”, and explicitly draws on themes and conventions brought about by slavery, racism, and personhood, except the creator says that there is not…

We don’t have uber here. But even if we did (and they do where my mom lives) it’s not about tech phobia it’s just that they don’t give a shit.

The plural of anecdote isn’t ‘data’ but damn this rings so true. My in-laws have no problem driving drunk or high and have for longer then I’ve been alive - any of the millennials I know wouldn’t dream of driving after drinking a bunch or partaking in the devils lettuce. My mom isn’t any better after a dinner out…

Oh man I loath pinterest results so much. I use -pinterest all the time. It’s like the entire site is built to prevent you from finding the source image for anything. See this instruction graphic you need? Sorry, it’s a 800x400 image on pinterest with no link to the source. And it’s every single result returned on…

so I know what I’m playing.

No - liberals aren’t enamored with what corporations want. But we do understand that often times what corporations want is what they get, and that is the motivation behind lots of laws and trade deals. This is being held up specifically as an example of something that helps nobody and not even the corporations want…

Oh yeah, I forgot about the lights. We rented an older vehicle that didn’t have DRL and it’s the first time in years I had to worry about turning on the lights during the day (since it was light 24x7) - I forgot probably 60% of the time I got in the car until oncoming traffic flashed their headlights.

Practical things:

I actually just got back from 2 weeks in Iceland on Friday - so, good timing?
