Just because there are two groups doesn't mean that each group is half the problem. Republicans are significantly more than half the problem.

And being really good just changes it from your own team flaming you to the other team flaming you.

There was never a correct time to start paying attention.

Maybe borrow a pair of over-ear headphones to see if those don't bother you as much? There are some that don't really touch your ears at all.

I've been thinking about calling into one of those debate shows that asks for your pronouns and then makes fun of people who don't know what pronouns are. When they asked for my pronouns, I'd say I/me. When they asked what to call me, I'd switch to you/you. When they specified third person pronouns, I'd accuse them of wanting to talk about me behind my back. Just be as frustrating as possible without technically being wrong. I feel like it would be a fun break in between all of the flat earthers, racists, antivaxxers, and so on.

Absolute genius logic. "I hate open-source because it's being pushed by big tech, so I use Windows instead."

Not usually, and you could spoof them if necessary.

Wiping it in the background behind the fake account, on the other hand, would be nontrivial to notice in time. And once it's wiped, what evidence is there that it wasn't already blank?

The idea is that you didn't voluntarily input the duress biometric, they just grabbed your hand and used it to attempt to unlock the phone. That way, you didn't take any action at all.

Round a nut? You go into the busbar box.

And to not wipe the phone unless and until it actually gets seized. Preemptively wiping is a pain, because then you have to restore it even if nothing happened.

Medical glasses are probably absurdly expensive, though. If you can jury-rig pervert glasses to work, you might save thousands (much like people who use AirPods as hearing aids; they probably aren't as good, but good hearing aids can be 10x or more the price, and we live in a capitalist hellscape where that's an obstacle).

How do you feel about noise-cancelling headphones? I bought the AirPods Pro 3 when I started my office job a year ago and they're damn impressive; sometimes I don't hear people who are talking directly to me. And while they're still the best earbuds for noise cancellation, I think Sony and Bose have headphones that are even better (I just wanted something I could keep in my pocket).

The Wingman is indeed pretty good at fooling consoles into working with controllers that they arbitrarily block. It lets you use an Xbox One controller on an unmodded Xbox 360, for example.

You flipped 0 and 1. RAID 1 is a full mirror; RAID 0 is no redundancy.

It's progressive to care about the specific dipshit failson that the fascists are scapegoating, somehow.

It could be (not taking a side on whether it is) a difference in degree rather than kind. The effect would still be markedly different in many cases (being excluded from a bathroom is annoying, being excluded from nearly every bathroom is a different matter entirely), but that doesn't mean the intent isn't similar.

It's not too different from the web scraping that companies have been doing for 30+ years or the LLM training that happens at an insane scale. It's just intentionally poorly done so that it wastes LLM resources trying to analyze it. Fundamentally, you're just making a program that clicks links a lot. I don't see how you could even be successfully civilly penalized for it, let alone criminally, but I'm also not a lawyer.

BeautifulSoup is a Python library that allows interacting with webpages inside a program. The high bill would be for having the LLM agent analyze all of the random clicks that I'd be having my Python program make.

I maintain that Pokemon XD has the most underrated soundtrack of all time.
