If it's not literally hunting minorities for sport, it's woke now
  • This is one of those topics that Wikipedia really shouldn't be used for.

    The coups that the US has involved themselves with that succeed, succeed because they were supported by the people. Lazerpig goes over it in his How to kill a God. The video started as a commentary on the Putin Carlson interview, but expands into a debunking of Color Revolutions.

  • Interested in rules
  • Lol, I got shouted at for just recognizing Michael Moore. Besides, I've been masking so long, I've been invited to represent my county in state ag issues and I've been tilting things to recognise Climate Change.

  • Interested in rules
  • No, it means I'm lying to them. If I say I don't agree with their politics, I'll get an ear full. If I lie and say I don't follow politics, I can diplomatically end that discussion branch. Grow up liberal in a conservative family and you'll get it. I'm not convincing these geezers of anything and I don't want to waste my social energy trying.

  • Russia's LGBTQ+ community is turning to Telegram as the government cracks down on them
  • That's probably why I never got a Signal account. Normally, I would point to FireChat, but that was discontinued. Looks like Mesh.im is a replacement? I'll have to look more into it. Encrypted, p2p, and mesh connections via LAN means it can't be shutdown if the internet gets restricted during protests.

    are you going to get everybody you meet to learn PGP.

    When the alternative is to risk getting sent to the front line as a bullet sponge, yeah. Then again, any lgbt people practicing proper infosec isn't going to be visible to surveys like this.

  • J.K. Rowling Blasts “Gender Taliban” David Tennant After ‘Harry Potter’ Actor Said “Whinging” Trans Critics Are On “Wrong Side Of History”
  • What always gets me about those people is if it's real art, the artist is putting their message into the story. When I was young and in the target demographic, I stopped reading halfway through because the message of the story was getting confusing or annoying. I don't think I've ever seen a main character get more selfish in their character arc. I later found out that Harry's solution to owning a house with severed heads everywhere was to put doilies over them during the holidays.

    The books are bad and where probably only tolerable in the beginning because of the editor.

  • Los Angeles’s Mayor Was Contemplating a Mask Ban. She Just Got Covid.
  • What lockdowns? The brief stint where people stayed home for the most contagious variant? That worked, but people decided that hacking in each others faces was more fun then staying home.

    Also, The Sun is a rag.

  • Old clip, but given that something's happening on the official Kizuna channel right now, I thought a refresher is in order.

    Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

    Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.

    Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

    Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

    What exactly are the "mini sweet peppers" that grocery stores sell?

    I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

    I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

    Some "old internet" brand of interesting.

    I was thinking of how people on the old internet would just create and share stuff for the simple sake of doing it, without trying to grind the algorithm. This woman in the mid 00's would bike through Chernoby, taking pictures and checking rad levels along the way.

    Her anglefire page is defunk, but she has a youtube page now.

    And for an added level of interesting, here's the slashdot page where I originally found it.

    Help creating a BoM for the Ring Accelerator?

    Hello,

    I'm creating a BoM for a youth group project. We're planning on building the Electromagnetic Ring Accelerator from Hyperspace Pirate. He's provided the 3d print files, but not the finer details on wire gauge, enamel wire gauge and ball size. I also want to confirm the photoresistor. Are there different photoresistors with with different sensitivities or ranges?

    I've included the wip of the BoM.

    Ways to improve academic standing without going to community college?

    I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

    I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.

    What's the deal with the suspicious usernames on youtube?

    I've been seeing a lot of usernames formatted "[lowercase][fourdigits]" or "user-[randomletternumbers]".

    Normally, I'd assume that that just means the name was already taken and the numbers are manually entered to make it unique, but the formatting is too consistent. Is that something google is doing automatically?

    The other one is real weird. Is that something some proxy sites are doing for anonymous posting?
