Lol its fucking working. These stupid fucks could have avoided all this by arriving at this conclusions a year ago. Narrow sighted ghouls.

Comrade, Were preparing to deploy W11 at work and I'm not excited by the prospect of attempting to gut all the bullshit found inside that monstrous turd of an operating system.

Who were the 52? It should be illegal to write articles like this without naming and shaming all of them.

Lol holy shit this is cool. What tool did you use to make this?

Because he has an ethic reports incoming. If your not a member of congress though, they can't release the report officially.

Hell yeah comrade! I have a similar story. I was diagnosed by a psyc who couldn't have cared less many years ago, was prescribed Ritalin and it never felt like it did anything. So I stopped taking it. I lived like that for another 7 years until I was cracking at the seams. I went back to my GP, asked to get back on medication, and Vyvance was their suggestion.

It really felt like the sky is the limit that first day. Hell that first week. You do eventually come down from that feeling but you can still get shit done. The thing you're left with however are all the bad habits, rituals, routines, and bagade that's a reflection of decades of living with ADHD.

 

In the Korean War season of Blowback, they played some clips from this documentary covering the POW internment camps run by the North Koreans.

It's really funny to listen to Ronald Reagan describe the camps as these insidious devices of brainwashing. Descriptions that include things like, there is no fence or barbed wire. When someone does a bad thing, they make them write an essay saying they won't do it again, or having the soldiers stand up and perform acts of public self-critique.

All of this as a means to push the idea that the Communists were attempting to create what was effectively a Manchurian Candidate. Meanwhile, the United States had begun its own research into psychological warfare as well as psychological control.

I haven't watched this video yet, it's only 29 minutes long, but I intend to watch it at some point. And I wanted to post it here for others to view as well.

So what do your notes ultimately look like when you've followed through with this method?

The implication seems to be though that it's not "their" FTL space travel, it's FTL space travel they've appropriated through manipulation.

Good distinction and clerification.

Communism with Katsup and Mustard characteristics.

That's Zefram Cochrane, he creates the first warp capable drive in Treks history, which leads to first contact with the Vulcan, and is the subject of the film Star Trek: First Contact

There is no punctual moment of disaster; the world doesn’t end with a bang, it winks out, unravels, gradually falls apart. What caused the catastrophe to occur, who knows; its cause lies long in the past, so absolutely detached from the present as to seem like the caprice of a malign being: a negative miracle, a malediction which no penitence can ameliorate. Such a blight can only be eased by an intervention that can no more be anticipated than was the onset of the curse in the first place. Action is pointless; only senseless hope makes sense. Superstition and religion, the first resorts of the helpless, proliferate.

This sure sounds like a time and place I may be living in and living through, and I'm only a few paragraphs in.

I'm passing this question along, because I think we might have folks here who have some suggestions.

What tools or combination of tools are folks using to organize in your local area and beyond?

A relative of mine was asking me about software to replace the event/RSVP/page aspects of Facebook.

It almost sounds like he wants a locked down Lemmy instance or a combination of tools, but I'm not sure what the landscape is like out there.

Any input would be cool. I might link him to this post later if I get enough comments.

Folks, how's the fam? How are you?


 

There's a lot more, just a selection, also a lot of old form sig graphics and avatars, way to many WoW screen shots. A real flashback, most of this is from like 2007.

 
 

This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I'd love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?
