And Boomer paranoid. "There's been a tree trimming truck across from my house for the last two hours. There are guys trimming trees but they're at least 30 feet from this truck. Be careful, I think there's people scoping out houses."

That's a good question. In Boomer talk, it probably means calling ICE on the tree trimmers or some Latino looking kids walking home from school.

Beamin' on up!

I've not heard of any recent COBOL vulnerabilities

Yeah. My entire comment (like, all of it) was about keeping a digital life. Not having to go analog because there are still digital options available.

I think the vast majority of people will revert to a more analog standard. If you check out self hosting, the digital space is alive and well. I'm doing my damnedest to keep people connected and away from toxic algorithm social media. I've had very few takers.

I set up a Friendica instance, I share my Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf libraries with as many people as possible. I am living my best digital life right now. But for most people, they can't seem to pull themselves away from the instant gratification that modern social spaces offer. If people reduced their dependence and would put up with the discomfort of change and maybe a little less convenience, they could continue on in a healthier digital space. But, humans being humans, they won't and they'll cast off digital stuff and dive deep into analog instead of adapting to open and non-commercial digital options.

Have you seen the number of school shootings in the US? The kind of world they went their kids to grow up in is absolutely "I don't even care if you do grow up"

No one is clowning. And hi, it's me. I'm people. I'm in the US. There are many reasons why we can't fix this current situation. But we also refuse to fix anything. That was the question I was answering. Hence, the school shootings. Just because we cannot react like other countries in the face of a fascist government doesn't mean we deserve to be let off the hook for constant inactions. There was just another school shooting in a smaller town near me. I visit there often. I have friends there. We as a society have failed kids on almost every front imaginable.

It doesn't sound to me like he thought he was above the law. He seemed to know the consequences. He just didn't think that Trump should be above the law. Or, at the very least, above presidential decorum.

There's still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that's who and when it would be done. I'm not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I've got no reason to think that it's not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.

We're going to be damned lucky if we get the chance for people to be played again.

Yeah that happens when you take away people's financial stability and/or money in general. No one plans to spend it they plan to save it.

It's we. It's our government. It's our country. Any action or inaction is on all US citizens.

If you can't think of anyone better you should fucking resign right now. Yesterday before you said something so stupid would be better.

Russians could make bank with a hand rail industry.

I had to read the headline like ten damn times. And the description is still undecipherable to me.

The people with training (I'm against the TSA entirely but I will admit some of them have a good amount of training in respective disciplines) that are not getting paid get to work side by side with completely untrained assholes who are overpaid. This should go well.

I can't believe he'd just... Lie to us like we're a court, Congress or himself or something.
