Trust me when I say that if you do this with that many girls in the bed... Urine trouble!

Get a tortoise and feed the berries to it 👍

(That's what we do at our house)

The AI said that trying to reason with you is a waste of precious tokens.

“The universal injunction was conspicuously nonexistent for most of our Nation’s history,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion.

So was your right to vote. Shall we let the executive branch take that away on a whim as well?

These folks are all giving great advice but also let us know when you're ready to really fuck around and have fun with your Linux superpowers 😀

You, in practically no time at all: "Nearly everything is working great! Now I want to make my desktop change it's background to NASA's picture of the day while also putting all my PC's status monitors on there. Oh! And I want my PC to back itself up every hour over the network automatically with the ability to restore files I deleted last week. I've got KDE Connect on my phone and it's awesome!"

Then, later: "I bought a Raspberry Pi and I want to turn it into a home theater streaming system and emulation station."

...and later: "What docker images do you guys recommend? I want to setup some home automation. What do you guys think of Pi-hole?"

"I've got four Raspberry Pis doing various things in my home and I'm thinking about getting Banana Pi board to be my router. OpenWRT or full Linux on it? What do you guys think?"

...and even later: "I taught myself Python..." 🤣

Meh: It's inevitable. It's really Valve that we should blame for dragging their feet for so long.

More Americans are witnessing people being hauled off as they shop, exercise at the gym, dine out and otherwise go about their daily lives

There was another time in history when this happened. It's pretty famous. Maybe the news media could make that reference? Nah, that would be too prescient and "too biased." In the same way the news media didn't report the same things realistically for the same reason during that other time in history when this happened.

digitally scanned on set without their informed consent

Well, yeah: They were recorded by digital cameras. You only need a front and side shot to make a realistic image of a person in any situation/position you want. If you want it to be very accurate you need a few more profile shots (both sides) and if you want the video to be accurate you need a recording of them walking, running, and making a few more motions but that's it.

We also have no transparency around how our performances, likeness and personal data are being recorded, stored

Welcome to the club. That's literally everyone these days. There's cameras everywhere! Privacy-minded IT people have been complaining about this problem for decades. Now you want to do something about it because suddenly it impacts you?

Better late than never, I guess.

Biden just followed through with what was negotiated with the Taliban by the former Trump administration. If the US doesn't follow through we lose credibility in all future negotiations with everyone.

What you're complaining about is the fact that Trump et all made an agreement to pull out the troops within a certain (completely unreasonable) timeline. They had no idea WTF they were doing and obviously didn't do due diligence or any sort of logistics planning for such a withdrawal before making the agreement.

If you think that sounds like bullshit let me ask you this: Does Trump ever do due diligence on anything? During his first administration nearly all his executive orders got thrown out because they were deemed arbitrary and capricious and during his second administration it looks like we're getting the same exact situation.

They don't know what they're doing. They don't know how to govern. If they didn't have several powerful right wing media empires backing up every stupid decision they make Trump would never have been re-elected and he'd have long since been impeached in this administration.

I can understand the appeal of the Ten Commandments to conservatives. Each commandment has its own prescribed punishment and for Texans, especially, I'm sure they all sound fantastic:

  1. Death.
  2. Death.
  3. Death.
  4. Death.
  5. Death.
  6. Death.
  7. Death.
  8. Death.
  9. Death.
  10. Feces on their faces.
