Oh, I thought he was going hard on the trolling, implying the bug was that the ads are broken when offline.

What do you do when someone is violently trying to knock down your door?

Well for starters, why have I put myself.in a situation where.this.is happening?But, secondly, I think this was a bad example you pulled anyway, as it was about defence toward immediate violence, rather than instigating it on social issues. In this case the aggressor in your example is the idiot instigating,.i.e. the very behaviour you’re attempting to excuse. And it that’s your stance, well; case in point.

I challenge you to show a real world example of ending oppression that was achieved by asking nicely when one side refuses to come to the negotiating table.

Asking nicely? It happens. But methods without violence? In most cases, the solution to stopping such threats is to cease empowering them, and we have many methods of how this is done in the real.world, daily. Violence creates reactive violence, creates a victim opportunity,.and instills animosity. Its solutions are temporary as nothing resolved the core issue, but it did inteoduce new ones.

So, what are you doing to cease empowerimg your “oppressors”—apart from buying into their systems, wearing their actions, and remaining seated in a place you think sucks? Mm-mm. There that apathy.

When mum and dad get parenting advice from the Charles Manson biography.

“Mom was in a café one afternoon with me on her lap. The waitress, a would-be mother without a child of her own, jokingly told my Mom she’d buy me from her. Mom replied, ‘A pitcher of beer and he’s yours.’ The waitress set up the beer, Mom stuck around long enough to finish it off and left the place without me. Several days later my uncle had to search the town for the waitress and take me home.”

Violence is a top-tier solution for lower ranked cognition, where the notion of “hit thing” is a quality solution toward the final stages of attempted problem-solving. Fortunately, people in this situation tend to share the side effect of apathy, so managing to pull together enough “hit thing” people into an organised cohort rarely occurs, or fizzles shortly after take off.

Also, they left behind a loaded magazine on the floor 🤣

That was a hilarious read. It just kept getting better, like I was reading Yakety Sax.

I dunno how Americans do it, but from life in the tropics dealing with monsoons and cyclones, we fill up the bath tub the day before we’re expected to get hit. Then we have plenty of water for drinking, washing, and cooking.

Most times it’s not needed because civil infrastructure is built for the environment, but some times water is shut off or compromised for a few days. I’ve also had pipes rupture while flooded in for a few days, so water was suddenly dirty, and my bath water become a supply for a few neighbours until floods receded enough for services to come in with water. Sounds a bit wild, but it’s kind of normal in places like that. It’s all part of the “day before routine”.

Yeah, it’s tricky that, especially with international stuff. When something kicks off internationally and suddenly a bajillion charity groups appear, it’s troublesome.

And it’s my rule of thumb to just disregard anything from a religion, I won’t even bother checking into them. Whenever there’s been a charity called out for being evil, it’s ironically Christian-based.

That’s a mind struggling to get out ideas that may or may not be fully forming anyway. Kind of like a transmission going out at reduced power, so only parts of the message can get out, being mostly incoherent. Literally broken by the read of it.

I wish my mother was like this,.I’d.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I’ll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I’ve told her to chill, it doesn’t work.

Well it seems most self-proclained “lefties” here have an appalling understanding of what that is and below the shallows they are quite misaligned with that side of the spectrum. Their words they one thing, their behaviour and outbursts a much more truthful thing. The term is nothing more than a Get Out of Jail FREE card for them.

I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

Well, he was also a part of blocking the military aid to Ukraine for all those months. But this one is good

Ironically,.not many people would’ve known about this. Now they do and hiis behaviour paints the Republican Party poorly. it is such a very normal and inconspicuous thing,.and then he does this,.making me wonder wtf is up with him and that party.

Seen these on Jay Leno’s Garage. Cars used to come with them and were intended to be used for picnics and whatnot.

Where I recently moved to, everything is a 10-20 min drive away, but buses can be over an hour because how poorly they’re done. Apparently they used to be quite bad, but recent changes made them awful and no one understands how the new routes and timetables managed to be approved and implemented.

There’s another? Let me guess, whale.decapitation and roadkill bear guy?

It was the T-800

Usually electronica or classical. Both just fill in with tasty noises that blend into the background. Most music composed with some sort of a music theory background tends to do this well without relying on lyrics, repetition or distractions fighting for your attention.

No, he’s still being executed.
