“According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval.”

I’ve also noticed it become slightly more combative and strawman-y with the influx of new folx, but maybe getting better again lately?

I’d like to think it’s because the mods here are a lot less likely to aid and abet that shit. I don’t know if it is, but that’s what I’d like to think.

It won’t be in the US though. It’ll be somewhere with super cheap labor and no regulations or environmental protections.

Just wait; Trump’s “policies” will ensure the US meets both those criteria.

The whole essence of MAGA ideology is “rules for thee, not for me” hypocrisy. They literally cannot conceive that they might get targeted with this gestapo shit.

Also, the fact that those conspiracies were real severely eroded trust in institutions both government and corporate. For example, does anybody really believe the FBI stopped suppressing leftists in 1971? Hell no; they just started calling it something other than COINTELPRO that’s still classified.

Because the articles are written by capitalists for capitalists to manufacture consent for capitalism. Of fucking course they’re going to downplay or ignore the Free Software/non-profit aspect of it!

That’s how you get monetized spying enshittified email. Do you want monetized spying enshittified email?

There’s plenty wrong with credulous dipshits who give lying propagandists and conmen a platform.

Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.

Also zoning laws helping to destroy walkable “third places.”

I’m pretty sure biodegradable/compostable kitty litter is a thing. As for the floss, switch to a water pik, I guess?

the song “It’s raining men”.

What? You thought it was a gay positive song released in an era where that lifestyle was condesended upon for it’s negitive stigma in society?

How is “It’s Raining Men” “gay positive?” I mean, I get that it isn’t anti-gay or anything, and I get that gay guys might like it, but it’s sung by women and seems very hetero to me.

I feel like the $190 they want for the Pi 4/microSD version would’ve been a reasonable price for the Pi 5/NVME version.

These are people who absolutely lay down to go to sleep at night and fantasize about getting to bug out.

In other words, they correctly realize that society as it exists sucks, but are too deep into right-wing propaganda to consider that less drastic measures than a collapse (such as voting for socialist policies) could fix it.

I just upgraded my seven-year-old Ryzen 1700x/Vega 56 system to Ryzen 5700x3D/RX 9070 XT. It wasn’t because my old system was actually inadequate already, though. It was mainly because I have no idea how long the market is going to be fucked up from the tariffs and wanted to get the upgrade done before the shit hit the fan, just in case.

I hope you at least give him a hearty “fuck you” right after the ink dries at closing, though.

Look, I’m just saying, to be the “certified Most Fuckable Twink” being infinitely submissive isn’t enough; you’ve got to be attractive too. This asshole meets that first criterion, but absolutely fails on the second.

That guy certainly isn’t an “alpha male,” but calling him “fuckable” is going way too far.
