So I've been posting about these new cars and their "secure" door handles, and how they're killing people. Everyone has pooh-poohed me. They *had* to save the world by buying Teslas. Well:

When the left was in charge, they wanted to police "hate speech" as they defined it. Now the right is in charge, and they want to police "hate speech" as they define it. "Hate speech" means saying anything the regime currently in power doesn't like...

Last week this man stated that the current regime could kill any terrorist they liked with no due process. Today, he revealed that the government believes it can designate any American citizen as a terrorist, also without due process.

Follow the steps, and you see the endgame...

One does have to concede that due process is a thorn in the side of tyranny. It is hard to be a good tyrant and have due process.



At first, I thought: "Holy shit, when did Tucker Carlson start being a real journalist?"

Then he said "I'm just asking questions here!", and away flew all that burgeoning respect...

"A 2021 report from Chainalysis revealed that in 2019 about 2.1% of all cryptocurrency transactions accounted went into criminal activity. This is roughly $21.4 billion in transaction volumes. Meanwhile, the UN estimates that between 2% and 5% of global GDP (that is between $1.6 and $4 trillion in fiat currency) goes into illicit financing and money laundering every year. To paint a clearer picture, criminal activity using fiat currencies is 160 times more than its crypto counterpart."

~Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal agent.~

“The grand jury's rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington (DC) and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors (ordinary citizens) refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent.” 👀

Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent:

It was a sharp rebuke to the prosecutors who were assigned to bring charges against those arrested after Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to Washington.

OK, 'The Left', I'm not trying to be harsh, but given that the criminal regime holding the US hostage has started moving military units into our cities in clear preparation for consolidation of power and full dictatorship, are you maybe considering that the five decades you have spent disarming yourselves were a mistake?

Reading glasses can't be shipped from Amazon to my state due to local laws or Amazon policy. I can not even imagine a set of circumstances that would explain this!

It's because reading is dangerous. The state wants to protect us from information which might upset us.

I don't think it's possible for this to be better than it is...


Sometime in your life, you might encounter an entitled insufferable controlling and abusive busybody, who has to intrude with overly judgmental accusations and deranged attempts to punish you over simple disagreements or nothing at all

There's a number of ways to deal with them

Some terrible, some ok...

Some spectacular:

@benroyce The thing I can think of is a little break of the 4th wall…. “You getting all this? Is my beard okay? Is it over the top? No? Okay, hold on…”. Then going back to wailing and writhing on the ground.

I love doing this sort of thing when kids are being bratty or overly entitled. 😀 Behaving like a total idiot is the best way to snap back to reality sometimes.

Personally, I feel they are overreacting. It is not really a big deal. And the person that said it was an Alfredo because they added butter and substituted Parmesan for Pecorino does not understand Alfredo at all. They have no leave for comment after a statement like that. Though being French I do understand why they get so upset. I just do not agree with it. 😉



I can't tell if I should be amused at the stupidity, or frustrated by, you know... The Stupidity...

@edutooters if privacy in your education space is important, this is worth reading. This will continue to happen in various forms, since the core of a public LLM has no notion of private data. Privacy is an afterthought, not baked in to the design.

Is there any company selling custom config Piholes? I have no idea if I could afford that, but I've just realized that the prospect of spending hundreds of hours reading howtos, debugging, being told how stupid I am on a reddit forum, and generally having to give it way more attention than I can spare sounds... Revolting. I'm too old for this shit!

This is not a pre configured Pi-Hole but are you aware that it really does not take much to setup a pi-hole?

If you cannot find a dealer that ships them pre-configured for your needs let me know and I can no doubt set one up for you.
