Honestly I don't think that the grandfather or child was out of bounds here. I've seen plenty of tourists get way closer to dangerous animals before. That bison was just an asshole. It seemed to be provoked by the pickup-truck and just started rampaging.

They may not have observed regulation distance, but they did not approach or do anything to provoke the animal. The tourists were just in the wrong place/ time.

You can't do love by yourself. What you experienced may seem profound, but it can't be anything but myopic because it's all in your imagination. This is like falling in love with a fictional character or a celebrity.

It's the difference between sex and masturbation.

There was once a Japanese celebrity who's stalker was able to find out her location by a street sign that was reflected in her eye. You don't need an astrolabe to be a creep.

One of the biggest obstacles to participation in youth programs in the US isn't money, it's transportation and time. Having a parent available for hours on weeknights plus away games for months implies a solid middle class home before any dues are collected.

In more well resourced sports like football and baseball, getting the poor kids a ride home after practice and games is often essential for the program.

Language changes and it doesn't matter if you like it or not. Complaining about it is just "old man yells at cloud".

Terrorist is a social distinction not a rational one; It's a slur. Trying to launder it with definitions and fixed meaning misses the point.

Terrorist isn't even synonymous with violence because depending on where you are, a terrorist is a race, ethnicity, politics, or religion.

I'm very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.

That's my secret. I'm always turned on.

Those plucky Windows users love to hack hardware to get their niche software running. Good for them.

Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won't pony up for the optional shitty software.

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
