Somebody here said something like, "Can't wait for libs to tell me I'm responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul." I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can't wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom's despicable rhetoric to melt away into "Blue no matter who" the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

You know it's going to be a good diner when its one of these bad boys:

There's also a lot of posts with pictures of a half-built deck, or plumbing, or whatever and a caption like, "what did my contractor do wrong?" or "I say this is the way it's done if you disagree you're fired off my jobsite!"

I think it's rage bait for blue collar boomers. I have no idea what purpose it actually serves financially.

Here's an example. I keep a burner FB account because it's the only website a bunch of local businesses and communities use, and it's infested with this shit. Why?

If that's true the sequence of events will be something like:

  • Trump demands the ship be sent immediately because he doesn't understand what "dry dock" is.
  • Someone in the chain of command who understands how bad that is uses proper channels to politely call for a small delay.
  • That officer is immediately fired. Right-wing media starts rumor they are a trans immigrant when a document from 2012 is found where they listed pronouns.
  • The officer is replaced with a 26-year-old toadie who has a background in podcasting about flat earth.
  • Toadie immediately sends the ship.
  • Ship sustains heavy damage from corrosion because it wasn't painted yet, or some shit.
  • The hospital ship spends 90 days sitting off-shore in Greenland. During this time it treats a handful of patients who, it later turns out, got paid to be there and aren't even citizens of Greenland.
  • Ship returns to USA to actually do the refit, where it turns out the damage is now catastrophic.
  • Jared Kushner receives contract to build replacement ship, named "USS TRUMP 12" because we have 11 other USS TRUMPs.
  • The money changes hands.
  • The ship is never built.
  • This is only reported by Common Dreams.

edit: fuck it, made it more elaborate.

Even that's generous. It's like someone added gelling agent to a vat of cold corn syrup.

The dialog pushing AI media seems to start from this assumption that I consume media just to have colors and words and sounds enter my face holes. In fact, I consume art and media because I like hearing, seeing, and reading about how other humans experience the same world I do. It's a form of communication. I like the product but also the process of people trying to capture the bonkers, ineffable experience we all seem to be sharing in ways I would never think of, but can instantly verify.

What's funny is, due to the nature of media, it's kind of impossible to not communicate something, even if the artwork itself is empty. When I see AI media I see the communication of a mind that doesn't know or give a shit about any of this. So in their attempt make filler they are in fact making art about how inarticulate they are. It's unintentional, corporate dadaism.

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.

Cops can ignore. Prosecutors can decline. Judges can "sentence" to unconditional release.

The people can nullify.

Happens to some SE Asians in North America too, because the edible straw mushroom from SE Asia resembles one here called "death cap". Amanita phalloides. What's fucked up is right before it kills you your symptoms actually improve, so people get discharged from the hospital and think they are going to be ok. I forage mushrooms but I stay away from white gilled mushrooms completely.
