Muskland. Quickly so we can start a fight.

What kind of porn is in this thumbnail!?

My mother was the same except she had me convinced that there would only be something wrong with me if I had to see someone about it.

Hang in there until you can get help without her being involved.

I think there have been businesses trying to get it shut down for years because they want to sell the data rather than giving it out for free. I forget which ones, but I’d swear I read about this years ago.

Just did a quick search with no luck, but apparently it’s part of Project 2025 to commercialize it or get rid of it.

So some of that was probably going to daddy putin’s opposition…

Would’ve been better if you had used a photo with an actual tree instead of a rock.

I was looking at podcasts recently and it was the same. I assumed it was because the people with the money will support content that furthers their bottom line.

I wish everyone would stop saying “humans are social animals”.

More importantly, the Supreme Court said he can’t be prosecuted if he’s trying to do his job.

Not in the U.S., but my last ISP had a line in the contract that allowed them to sell my browsing info to advertisers.

From what I remember pre-election news was saying wealthy dems/dem donors wanted Biden (and Kamala in some report I saw) gone primarily because they didn’t like what Lina Khan was doing. There were also questions about whether Kamala would continue to support Lina Khan after receiving donations from wealthy donors. JD Vance praised her work and it sounds like the Trump nomination is going to continue similarly.

I don’t like Trump at all and I know how petty and sycophantic he can be, but this may end up being one case where I end up preferring the result on this one specific issue over what we may have had if the dems had won without Kamala or if she flipped and agreed to drop Khan. I won’t really know how I feel about this selection until I see the result.

(Quick search turned these examples up that I’ve only skimmed, but I need to log off: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/24/kamala-harris-lina-khan-00185345 https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-rich-donors-lina-khan/)

I wonder if it affects them if they are collecting purchasing data from US citizens residing in the EU. If nothing else, the US military and diplomats are there. From what I’ve found, it protects anyone in the EU, citizen or not.

Experian is stuck on an old phone number for 2FA and I can’t remove it because I don’t have a phone number. I really hate how they tie everything to a phone number.

It’s also incredibly fucked up that they’re worried about real estate prices falling in an economy where so many are having a problem paying rent or owning a house.

They probably won’t lock down again. It will be full steam ahead for the economy. Keep throwing bodies into the burner.

Like Palantir.

Make it an inverse function based on their wealth and the wealth of their spouse.

I wonder how the terrorism charge affects things. Are people going to stop saying they support him out of fear or disgust? Will other people (and/or the government) go after people that say they support him because they can claim they’re supporting a terrorist? Will people become less affected by the word “terrorist” because it’s being applied in this way?

I like it, but only as an alternative to very good balancing with very slow power scaling. Unless I’m playing a superhero game, I don’t want to one-shot starting enemies once I’m higher level.

This is all tied to my preference for immersion above all and my tendency to fiddle around in a game pretending I’m playing a TTRPG rather than rushing to the end.

There’s an Atlantic article by Charlie Warzel that references it to try to make his comments seem flippant. The news is heavily trying to create or avoid a narrative on this.

“When Mangione was caught, he had with him a note or manifesto of sorts, less than 300 words long. Near the beginning, it offers the following: “This was fairly trivial.” The phrase is cold, detached, and haunting. It might merely be the garden-variety bravado of a gunman. But the sentence also conjures a possibility that is much harder to sit with (and for the internet to latch onto). Of all the possible outcomes available, the least shared, argued over, and considered is one that the shooter alludes to himself—that what feels to all of us like an era-defining event may ultimately be unremarkable in its brutality, in its inability to effect change, and in how quickly everyone moves on.”

I feel like either of these interpretations is way off the mark. The phrase is more likely him suggesting that it doesn’t take a lot of work or a sharp mind to pull it off, which would be a nightmare for anyone trying to keep it from happening again.
