DOGE official at DOJ bragged about hacking, distributing pirated software

Sorry, it's far too late to try and get me to like these guys.

I know many people in their 50s who are Boomer as fuck.

Nicotine.

I stopped counting when my last nicotine hit was, which I think might be the key here. A couple of years at least.

No urges, never even think about it.

It's still my launcher of choice and I'm going to ride it until the wheels fall off.

When I used to work in the office I probably worked about 5 hours a day at most. The rest was spent on personal projects, fucking around, whatever

Now that I work from home it varies between two and four.

My production is exactly the same.

His "candidacy" is to have his living expenses covered for another year while squirreling away enough cash so he doesn't ever have to be an AM radio talk show host again.

"Putang ina." ("Son of a whore")

They said this charming Filipino phrase whenever I did something stupid. So, often enough to count as a catchphrase.

True.

Also, not only are people nicer on Lemmy, I find that I'm nicer on Lemmy.

think most people can tell that majority of African and Asian countries have anti-LGBT law without needing "international attention"

Until I read this very article, I had no idea that being gay in Malaysia was punished by 20 years in prison.

Seems like a nice enough guy, but I'm not a fan. Which is fine, since I'm not his intended audience.

Mostly Harmless.

Allies.

This isn't the 90s anymore. Today, unmoderated/poorly moderated online spaces are breeding grounds for the usual toxic assholes who ruin everything.

Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, the IT Crowd, and (oddly) The Good Place.

Maybe he should cut more checks to right-wing grifters. That should help.

The Universe is a big place, so it almost certain.

But so far we don't have compelling enough evidence to verify this.

Absolutely. If you're willing to eat horse, more power to you.

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

The level of research is evident---Tim Powers doesn't skimp on the details at all. I normally don't like espionage thrillers but he makes the Great Game come alive. And that's before the weirder elements come in.

I'm finally reading Declare by Tim Powers. All I can say is holy shit I never knew how much I needed this book in my life.

Since I left Reddit, I've had a few searches yield very helpful Reddit results. I read them and move on. I'm running an adblocker and I'm not providing value by commenting. I see no problem with this.

So just like that a bunch of communities I'm subscribed to are gone? I guess I could make another account on beehaw but this is quickly becoming more trouble than it's worth. I've broken my Reddit addiction. Maybe it's time to leave lemmy before I get attached.
