That’s a weird pride flag

I know, I can’t even tell what I’m supposed to be looking at

I have a desktop and there’s no reason for it to constantly be drawing power. It boots fast enough even with fast boot disabled that it’s not an issue for me.

I leave my work laptop on, but it lives on my desk at work. Not my power bill not my problem. I still have to regularly reboot it because windows can’t update without reboots.

Literally every single time I use it. I only need it to be on when I’m using it, and I don’t use it every day.

Sure, but my keyboard doesn’t have a power button.

My main use the disc drive is used games.

It is fundamental to the democratic form of government that “rights are at the mercy of public opinion.” The other options are for rights to be at the mercy of capricious monarchs, dictators, or oligarchs.

They believe that the status quo is better than any alternatives. They have not been exposed to other ways of living and those that have lock themselves to basic tribalistic thinking.

Imagine trying to get a sports fan to see the benefits of being a fan of another sports team. Even if they aren’t personally playing and their team isn’t winning they maintain loyalty. Some even bet on their loser teams and lose money just because of loyalty.

It’s all about team loyalty/ tribalism

Yep! Feels like going through a rom pack or multi-cart and only finding good games.

You’re getting awfully close to sounding like the psychos who say that all fossils are invented or placed on earth by the devil to confuse humanity about the age of the earth.

Most mounted dinosaur skeletons contain real fossils. Many museums have diagrams showing which are real and which are recreations of fossils that were missing or too damaged to mount for each specimen.

Paleontologists can determine what the missing fossils looked like based on other specimens and looking at what they have in context of other similar species that have more complete skeletons.

You also have to have a license for tv…

For people looking for a reason for large bottles other than less frequent purchases. Large bottles with many pills produces less waste than the same number of pills in multiple containers.

And It generally requires a lot of electricity. So, batteries cut out the middleman.

You do in the water. The pasta won’t absorb all of it

Personally I think AI training is free use. I also think AI is a fad and generally used as a way to scam people.

However, artists complain about AI because it pulls from their business (in theory.) Artists generally don’t complain about piracy by the end user because the artist is usually still credited in someway (signature watermark etc.) and piracy doesn’t generally stop other people from paying for their art. AI in theory steals their jobs.

The main people who complain about traditional piracy are the executives of companies that purchased copyright on artist’s works through contracts that do not favor the artists.

I hope the point is that the people who set the social norms (which make you think OF girls and Drug Dealers are bad people) are the real enemy.

If you believe anyone is above politics I have a bridge to sell you.

My point is precisely that the US Supreme Court is embroiled in politics. The notion that being appointed somehow insulates the justices from politics is absurd.

Elections at least create some semblance of accountability to the voters.

Elected Judges still get their jobs done. They have clerks who do a lot of their drafting and grunt work in the office.

For large elections, there are staffers and volunteers who do a lot of the electioneering. For small elections, campaign events only occur on weekends and at other times when court is not in session.

Typo fixed. Pedantry is fun isn’t it.?
