So we’re just basically considering statistically which is more plausible? A HDD failing versus a corporation being greedy? I think both are bad and unreliable. A company guaranteeing a “purchase” in perpetuity (not subscription) and having the standard be offline installers (for your own backup) is the best bet. Everything else is just dictating the best way to stub your toe.
well shit, TIL
If you’re not being purposefully obtuse I’ll save you the time from what the argument is. Wealth of his magnitude is a detriment to society, doesn’t matter if he’s saint Joseph or the pope. You’re saying “he’s the best kind”, deflecting from all of them being bad. If you don’t see that, then it’s fine. Just an economical opinion on where to go with society from the stalemate we seem to be in regarding workers and compensation.
I do feel like you’re being blind about the nepotism definitions though, you don’t need 200 billion from a family slush fund to qualify. The very act of what their parent’s profession is changes networking and exposure opportunities. Doesn’t matter if Daddy has ethical values, the name recognition and reputation you’re proclaiming gives an advantage.
Hopefully wikipedia recognizes this as the official Canary in the Chrome mine. I was first impressed with chrome book because of seeing them used for education, getting my own laptop during school would’ve been mindblowing to kid me. I was unimpressed with the strangulation process of the OS but again shocked when they added a linux boot mode. There needs to be better alternatives by now, I would be ok with an OS developed by the department of education in conjunction with higher educational institutions. Could have a decent non-profit approach to a browser and ad blockers could legitimately be built in as a “protect the children” aim of approach.
The most ironic part…
… an ad for an app for the article…
But that complacency isn’t happening to everyone. A lot are just festering, slowly digesting more incredulous and radical propaganda/influencers. Every ones base reality of the events that are happening over the country is getting completely skewed by the new types of outlets like tiktok that they flock to because of the lack of accountability by our elected officials and journalists/news organizations.
During just this last hurricane Helene I’ve heard more anger and outrage about the government than anything to actually do about what’s been hit or what the people and rescue workers are actually doing. This is how we get mass shooters and assassinations becoming more prolific, people aren’t just complaining and going about their day. They’re nodding and grinding their teeth while smiling.
Just wanted to throw in my reality living in a rural area and all the factors that lead into the same problem we have around here.
The walk to my middle school was 1 1/2 hours, 2 when distracted. All 4 lane highways, with no sidewalks. Bus drivers are in high demand with low pay/part time, bus routes can easily go into a 3 hour ride in the afternoon. There is typically 1 highschool per county (must keep the roster pool available for the sports teams), we’re talking a 42 minute straight drive just to get there (so you can sit in trailers because they’re over capacity).
They need to up the bus driver pay, de-stigmatize the position with people who are getting more than fair compensation so they can be proud of their work and a community member who very much actually, physically, is in the world of the growing citizens. Have an assistant who helps with the route and manages the adolescent children (bus shit was wild back in my day, like 3rd base shenanigans going on and I doubt it’s stopped).
I guarantee you, no one having to drive through that shit-storm is enjoying or wanting that experience. Everyone’s anxiety is high and they’re still half asleep in the morning, with the potential to accidentally injure a child before you even get to work. Some of the counties have improved with better traffic techniques like time-regulated flow, roundabouts, and traffic assistants. But, it’s still so depressing and makes you feel like you’re in some industrial meat processing plant line.
It sucks either way. Having your kid get home at 6pm to start on homework (no internet on the bus, most assignments require connectivity) which can take hours, feed them, make sure they get ready for bed by 8-9, then start again at 5am because the bus shows up ass early before the world wakes up. Real public transit doesn’t exist in a 80 mile radius around here, so there’s really no other currently available options besides all the crappy scenarios being told that everyone rightfully hates.
oh no! That would be terrible but I could see it. I think going forward she might be the only one who can introduce humor in stressful situations (kinda like the guardians Drax). There’s some good banter between Agatha and Teen but that’s more for peaceful times.
Shout out to zabadoh@ani.social for directing me here. For some reason his comment doesn’t show up on a post I made about this show (guessing our instances are defederated from eachother or something).
I didn’t enjoy the episode so much, I thought the introduction with Aubrey Plaza was unnecessary. I would’ve liked them to take the time and introduce the teen more and showcasing his charisma and cunningness that comes out of nowhere for episode 2. He was the one who started breaking her out of the spell so should’ve been the one to talk her out of it while she was shedding her layers of it.
Then cue the fight scene, lackluster and the ending just seemed off with Agatha’s back and forth character switching and then them just dropping the fight. Could’ve used the time with expanding on her fantasy and the differences in reality, like the library scene could’ve been really funny seeing how it really played out while she was stuck in the spell. I’m so glad they released the second episode because it feels like a huge stark contrast between “marvel plots” and the new possibility of the witches storyline and themes.
I posted up about it in the c/movies@lemm.ee community. Agatha All Along, the only marvel show I’ll probably give a try this year.
tl;dr Episode 1, a little rough going down and finding it’s footing. Episode 2, really has me excited for a real witch show about witches (doesn’t feel like Marvel). Episode 3 drops tonight.
If you liked wandavision and enjoyed the original Hocus Pocus I would suggest jumping on the train if you’re looking for something new to watch. I’m just now watching reviews on it (like to wait, didn’t even know angry joe already has a video) and finding out people are divisive on it for apparently gay characters, but I only picked up on one off-handed comment about a bf lol.
I unfortunately have the same feeling. Around Iphone 4 or so (when they were a lot smaller and sleeker) I got a slim phone case that could hold a card and my ID. It felt so nice going on a trip with only that in my pocket (not having to worry about if I feel my wallet in my back pocket, etc) but I couldn’t get over the fact that if I lost the phone I would be utterly screwed and a long way from home. Tend to always have a back-up now adays since I don’t want to have to put up with that.
I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I’m working all day and sweating my ass off though I’ll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
I’m doing it right now, I’m asking if you’re doing okay. I’m actively trying atm. I’ll assume you are and go about my day I suppose.
yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @peopleproblems@lemmy.world though. But I mean I’m not expecting miracles, anything that’s been reheated after days isn’t gonna be like when it’s fresh.
I’ve been online for like 30 minutes and every post I’m going into has you arguing with someone. Are you doing alright today?
ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I’ll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you’re reheating it for some reason.
oh wow, I’m usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I’m not interested in a drink because I’m just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).
In the link comment I provided I did state it was a far off miracle. But, my focus was less on 3rd parties or electoral reform, it was directly related to the “National Committees” that exists. I’m all for state parties, reminds me of when Bell was split into it’s different areas. But on a national level I wonder if it can be argued that it’s so far removed from focusing on “political ideologies of it’s group” to becoming a service provider for selected candidates. You could look at the committee’s structures, are they even following their own political ideologies, what type of controlling power they have, etc etc.
IANAL but is that really true? You don’t “Buy” anything on steam, you’re licensing a subscription to use the software under their terms. Downloading a torrent wouldn’t be covered by that. Purchasing a game though and having the same data backed up on a device is covered (identical to a torrent download), at least I thought that was the legal case for rom’s and such even being able to exist in the first place.
