LOLWTF, apparently this is a TNG VCR board game reference?

Ironically, you can just download the video for it: https://archive.org/details/STTNGBoardGame . Anybody know where you can get images to print game pieces?

Plus all of the Republicans.

(Yes, I know the fascist fucks are a lost cause and that's why they don't get mentioned, but we should still maintain the expectation anyway.)

We should refuse to even talk about "gun violence" in relation to these 3D printer bans because that's not even slightly what they are about.

They are 100.00000% about totalitarian surveillance and destruction of property rights. "Reducing gun violence" isn't even an excuse; it's an outright lie.

Along with meth, of course.

If my joke doesn't land that's my fault, not yours.

On the one hand, yes, fully enforcing these things would be gross overpolicing.

On the other hand, the selective enforcement is, by design, a way to manufacture an excuse to harass and persecute minorities/undesirables.

The correct solution is to relax or abolish the laws themselves until they diminish to the point that fully enforcing them is reasonable.

It was meant to be a tongue-and-cheek confirmation that, yes, I was joking about the American south.

It didn't land well.

Bless your heart. 😉

Did you complain directly to your local politicians? 'Cause they're the Ines who really need to hear this.

I, too, am sick and tired of the government forcing me to contract with various third party commercial entities, BTW. We need more people to complain if we want it to change.

In the South you used to (and still do) have the following three meals a day:

Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

In the North, however...

Breakfast, dinner, tea.

In the South, we sometimes have "breakfast, dinner, supper" (especially in rural areas; city folks are more likely to have "breakfast, lunch, dinner") and our tea definitely has ice and a fuckton of sugar in it.

I had high hopes for Google Glass because of the previous work of the GA Tech professor who led it, until it came out. That thing was a regression in both privacy and functionality compared to his self-built wearable computers from the '90s or 2000s.

(Although TBH, I would really love to have a wearable computer that was fully open source and local. Unfortunately, big tech going full Orwell has ruined the idea permanently.)
