Fair enough. Not like they're anywhere close to favorites of mine or anything. Was just the most immediate non-Gaiman example of books by a bad person I could come up with.

Be careful, don't you know that you aren't allowed to enjoy things made by bad people?

Don't mind me, I'll be over here with American Gods, Good Omens, and the Harry Potter books. Not enjoying them one bit. Because I'm a good person who believes good things and only supports good people.

More seriously, I'll try to buy any future copies of his stuff used, but I'm not going to sweat it. There are far more things I purchase and use on a daily basis with far worse people and power structures behind them. Not going to worry about a single author.

Last I checked, they both get less than 10% of their funding from the government, and that amount is less than 0.5% of our military budget.

I'm not surprised by this, but it needs to be said: They need an efficiency checker for their efficiency checkers. In and of itself, trying to defund NPR and PBS is just wasting money and time on virtue signalling, or the right's equivalent. So doge is off to a great start, lol.

So that's why my tooth fillings stopped getting Sesame Street and started getting phone calls!

Did you know gaming

You can tell it's not a real CAD comic because it's actually funny and also isn't a novel disguised as a comic.

Hooray, more bullshit bills purely for the purposes of signalling!

Holy shit that is hilarious.

Not really a fan of RationalWiki, but they seem to have a decent writeup and their examples are killing me:

KJV Luke 11:53-4

And as he [Jesus] said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

"Conservative Bible" Luke 11:53-4

As Jesus told them off, the scribes and Pharisees furiously interrogated Him about everything, plotting and seeking to quote Him for a politically incorrect remark to use against Him.

KJV Luke 12:43-4

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

Conservative Bible

Blessed is that manager, whose employer finds working so diligently. Truly I tell you, he will promote that manager to run all of his affairs.

KJV 1 Corinthians 1:17

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

Conservative Bible

In any case, Christ didn't send me to baptize. He sent me to preach the gospel, but not with the kind of liberal claptrap that would make Christ's sacrifice ineffectual.

I'm fucking rolling.

Hey, better you than bees.

Didn't they make Bitlocker a default setting?

This is obviously a bad thing, and should absolutely be protected by normal file ACLs, but if a business isn't protecting their devices against basic theft or hard drive removal then they have bigger things to worry about than just unencrypted OCR data.

The bigger issue would be an insider attack on a shared machine. Better lock down any desktops in the executive conference room!

As long as they don't try to turn it into a live service game like they announced they're doing with Crazy Taxi.

I really don't see them doing anything with the property. It's one of my favorite RPGs of all time, but it's still incredibly niche. They'd have to do a crazy marketing push to get ROI on anything they did with it.
