I mentioned in another thread about this that they did use laws that were on the books but clearly gave disgustingly long sentences. Since it's "terrorism" they get to do additional bullshit; I was a teen in the Bush years but even I knew the whole anti-terrorism stuff was going to get abused.

Drugs. They sell or traffic drugs. That's usually how mysterious sources of income work, especially when you're investigating how he was murdered.

I mean, we'll just have to see if purified botulinum toxin is on the menu for the new Jackass movie...

I don't really care about this. But, I do like when I see progressive politicians do pop culture style (that isn't cringe), like what Mamdani does now and again. No AI needed in that case, just cheesy video transitions and a sense of humor.

Hehe. If that was me I'd have discovered weed at like, 10. That may be problematic, lol.

Y'all nasty.

That said, my worst recently was parmesan cheese in soup after having vomited from norovirus. It tastes like vomit in the wrong context...

I'm sure it's not the nastiest thing, but it's what comes to mind. I have a brother and we dared each other to eat stuff as kids, but I cannot recall...

I think people want to share and be heard so they will speak a bit more than you'd want, but I feel on average it's neutral and we just put a negative spin on some responses because of our own perception.

But then again, there will be people who simply hate you for being you (e.g. tankies on .ml), just like any other social media (e.g. maga on X). The flavor of hate people are allowed to spew is based on moderation, and by that metric, I still prefer moderation on the fediverse over most corporate options.

I was waiting in a car in front of a math tutoring building and was doing the math problems advertised on their window (as one does, of course) and the 7% of 250 is indeed probably easiest as 250% of 7, aka 2.5x7, which is 17.5.

I did it a few other ways, though. 7% of 1000 is 70, then divide by 4 for 17.5. Well, more like, divide by 2 for 35 and again for 17.5, but yeah... mental math is fun.

I still remember seeing it as a young child at the E3, which is a wild memory now because (1) they stopped allowing children and (2) they no longer exist.

The demo included Bom-omb Battlefield and it was the first time I had seen 3D. Sure PlayStation and Saturn (and I think Jaguar?) were there too, but Mario 64 was definitely the most impressive.

Better than aimlessly searching Leather World. Lol. I need to use reverse image search stuff more...

I've no doubt they'd have lost that land one way or another, although I suppose it could have gone to the British and made into part of Canada or something.

I took another approach since I could have sworn I've seen the image before in pre-AI days; but all I managed to do was get my algorithm super confused by searching Leather World too much.
