Yes. They are proud.

I hate to tell you, but they’re not covering their face out of a sense of shame; they’re covering them in order to prevent retaliation from people who disagree with them. They have no shame about what they’re doing.

If they are recognised and shunned, or refused service because of their actions, there’s no shame or self-reflection. it’s still the fault of the “damn libs”. THAT’S why they cover their faces; because they know they’re actions are unpopular and will get them retaliated against.

But knowing their actions are unpopular doesn’t mean for a second that they’re ashamed of those actions. On the contrary, the fuckers are proud to be doing Trumps dirty work.

The other side is already scouring obscure precedent to use to disqualify and deport him. So while this is great news, I won’t hold my breath for any sort of actual election victory past the primary.

Going through the motions of elections right now feels very much pointless since only someone incredibly naive would think that the right has any intention of allowing elections to matter any more.

The sooner Americans realise that it’s Let Them Eat Cake time the sooner they can move on with guillotine o’clock.

Peaceful protests, boycotts and sternly worded letters rely on the people you’re protesting having a sense of shame. Which the right (and most of the left) no longer have.

I just use Syncthing. No cloud, just keeps any folders I choose on any devices synced with one another. Never had a problem, and while the files yes accessible on the internet technically, they’re not stored anywhere except the devices that have access to them. Works like a charm.

I usually move to Lineage once my two year warranty is up, just in case.

I know that by law hardware manufacturers can’t deny hardware warranty based on your software (at least where I’m from…I worked in for one of the big three telco’s up here in Canada)

But I’d rather not have that argument with the manufacturer, so I wait for it to run out. If my phone has a rom available I run that until the hardware dies and then I upgrade.

In the absence of being able to switch to Graphene (Don’t own a pixel), I’ve done everything I can to replace Google Apps with FOSS alternatives, and disabled Google Assistant on my device entirely.

I know none of that will stop a determined Google eventually fucking with me, but at least I’m trying.

I’m so damned tired of the modern corporate world.

On the bright side, if Trump says they obliterated something, it either means they totally missed, or it was lightly damaged at best. Fucker lies every time he opens his mouth. It’s generally a safe strategy to go with the opposite of anything that pours out of that burger hole.

How was tiny little Serbia a factor triggering WW1?

Little things spiral into bigger things, which then spiral into yet bigger things.

kinda just juvenile and the dialog pretentious

You literally just described Kevin Smith…

Oh and “A tale they won’t believe” by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive

Holy shit. Never expected to find another person who has heard of Captain Tractor on Lemmy of all places. They have a long history with me and my college years (late nineties, early 2000s)

100%. I always thought I was alone in thinking it.

• 38 years old - The Tragically Hip
• Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Travelling Wilburys original or The Headstones cover of it)

• Converter Now: An all-in-one convert everything to everything app.
• Light Meter: Calculate light levels and color temps for photography and videography.
• Stellarium: Honestly don’t know how “well known” it might be. But it’s fun to point at stars and planets.

Very much so. I wish there was more in that world. The lore was really interesting to me. It’s not often you get a story set on Mars that actually has something unique about it.

It’s been a long time since the six-day-war. Most states in the middle east are more technologically capable than they were in 67. I’m thinking it’s time for that coalition to form up again and gang bang Bibi and his buddies. We’d see some different results.

Air Fryer. You can find basic models for under 100.

There’s a lower budget game by Spiders called Technomancer that came out in 2016. It came up in my XBox game pass, so I played it before I read any reviews on it, and I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it.

I didn’t find the combat stilted. It felt quite fun to work between three different fighting styles. The storyline was interesting and (to me anyway) original. And the Universe was pretty fun to play around in.

Just finishing about a new playthrough of Andromeda and I think it’s larger problem is that the good content doesn’t open up until a third of the way through the game. For the first third, you have very little to do except follow the Kett and the Angara storyline, and those are the absolute worst parts of the game.

It doesn’t actually get good until it opens up and you’re dealing with Outlaws, Collective, internal politics of the Nexus, the Krogan rebellion, etc… and your (admittedly pretty lame) companion quests. But at least it’s something more than just two new species that aren’t nearly as fleshed out or complete as what already existed.

By the time the game opens up and you can do more than just the main quest, you’re already friggin bored.

The Rock. I’ll be taking no further questions.

I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Always hated him. Always called him a bad actor whose idea of acting amounts to throwing on a fake accent and literally nothing else to build his characters; no mannerisms, no method, no changing his body or his face. He’s just Leonardo DiCaprio with an accent every…single…time.

Before The Revenant, when everyone was complaining about him being “snubbed” by the oscars, I always thought “no…he is legitimately fucking terrible…especially when he was younger” (ie. Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Gangs of New York years). And I thought I was taking crazy pills since everyone else seemed to adore him because of Titanic.
