I've actually taken seeds from the tomatoes in stores and grown them myself. The flavor of a store bought tomato pales in comparison to a freshly picked tomato.

And I don't even like tomatoes.

Yeah but that definition only applies to people who are brown or poor.

In this case, they are all lone wolves. All of them.

If it's for software you like, yes. Lemmy apps are a great example of this.

A lifetime license isn't going to sustain the dev long term. If you like the app, buy a monthly subscription that gives them predictable income every month. Do a year if you feel confident about it. But honestly monthly is probably best.

For shitty corporate apps like Adobe, pirate that shit.

Microsoft is using copilot to find more intrusive ways to install copilot.

It's called reinforcement learning.

Yup. Never ever buy lifetime licenses.

Even on software you love. Especially for software you love.

Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

Of course he used the KJV. The version that no modern Christian couldn't read if they wanted to and the version that basically every fundamentalist Christian has on their bookshelf and never opens.

God also told me that you're going to hell for being a Seventh Day Adventist. He inspired me to write it down and everything.

So you got that going for you.

I used to be a Christian so I like to think I know my hermeneutics.

That said, this post just goes to show how wildly a simple book can be interpreted. I wasn't a Seventh Day Adventist. I was a Calvinist.

It shows just how confident you can be in absolutely nothing.

When you really look into scripture, you come to realize it's a book filled with words with no real truth outside of some dudes wrote it.

So these Olympians are in danger?!

There is a great podcast on the sugar industry that I can't recommend enough.

I'm a Logitech M720 man myself. I've bought at least three over the last few years. They seem to stop working within two years.

I second the Spy Museum as well as the Smithsonians.

The Newseum was also a great museum but it has been closed.

I wouldn't trust those man pages. They haven't been updated in almost 2000 years.

I wish I could remember the book that talked about this. But basically, the idea is that Christians would rather give their money to the church and then have that money be used for charitable purposes than to pay taxes, even if that amount would be less.

The main reasons are that Christians feel like they can "control" where the money goes better and, because their giving is optional, they feel good that their money is going toward something good.

Oh and it doesn't hurt that whatever good they do is a shoehorn for them to proselytize.

It was a one-time spell for the son of the main dev.

Here you go

I'll admit it took some doing to find.

I could imagine an Oppenheimer situation where he deeply regretted what he had created.

But I highly suspect this was more of a case of "don't look deeply into my past", which, is quite ironic given what he did.

The bases for the two parties are very very different.

It's why Republicans can, with little consequence, call Democrats pedophiles, crooks, etc.

Democrats have a big tent, with a lot of moderates in the base. Moderates, for the most part, see democrats as the paragons of virtue, people who should stand tall while their opponents throw shit at their face and call it confetti.

Moderates won't vote for Democrats if they feel like they can't be polite. They won't vote for Republicans but simply keeping them out of the ballot box is enough for Republicans to win.

The only good way to deal with this is as a SuperPAC. Running attack ads and forcing Republicans to play defense. But remember that conservatives have significant backing from rich assholes and they have their own SuperPACs.

We need democrats or at least Super PACs to start commercials the fact that they are soft on crime. They want to defund the police.

Remember that nuance is not a characteristic of the right.
