  • Why block muting the OS?

    Jump

  • Sounds pretty secure except for at the update stage, but you said that's handled differently so maybe that's more secure too.

  • Before it's too late!

    Jump

  • Yes yes and yes.

    It's a fuckin' good grunt!

  • Never have I heard someone quite as well capture the appropriate sound to make when you've achieved "yeah sex is great but have ya..." for gushing over all the specs that make something you're showing off so awesome.

    It works for cars, it works for stereo systems, it works for a new smoothie blender, it even works for the wildly unhealthy recipe you invented that's dripping the most decadent yet delicious shit you could cram into it before serving it to your friends like you make Gordon Ramsey look like a Killer Cook.

  • There are too many of these people on lemmy

    Jump

  • Lemmygrad was literally made to be an even more mask off .ml

  • Poor Timmy

    Jump

  • Considering how mindflayers reproduce, I feel worse for the poor kid they tadpoled than for the horrifying monster that resulted from it.

  • Diet

    Jump

  • No joke, there was a plan in the US to import hippos to the Mississippi watershed as farm animals to create an industry for "Lake Cow Bacon."

    It would have been an ecological disaster on a scale never before witnessed in human history, but goddamn would it be hilarious to live in a world where everyone knows Americans as the stone cold motherfuckers that domesticated the goddamned aquatic murder tanks just because they take their bacon culture that seriously.

  • Still Got It

    Jump

  • See they have to blame the Dems for shit the Republicans did because otherwise someone might ask who let the Republicans get into office to do it in the first place.

  • Bat-approved

    Jump

  • Working with the cops isn't the vigilantism, it's that he conducts private investigations on his own and shares info as he deems necessary to transfer the case into public hands or to compare notes with Gordon and see if either of them caught something the other didn't.

    He's not on the payroll of the police and they actually will try to arrest him on occasion whenever an officer on the take gets enough power.

  • Bat-approved

    Jump

  • Worth noting that the usual concerns of vigilantism don't actually apply to Batman,

    • He works directly with the police, and even then specifically with the cops that have passed the vibe check and can be trusted
    • He mostly avoids direct confrontation unless he's been attacked or someone is actively in danger, and even then, what genius is seriously gonna willingly tango with the goddamned batman?
    • Basically everything else he does save for regularly committing cyber crimes to steal Amanda Waller's AP class homework for his own cases or just to keep tabs on the feds given how much shit they get up to in DC comics, would be protected by Good Samaritan law, basically you get special legal protection even if you committed the crime beforehand if you drop what you're doing to save someone's life. Most often this is used to protect college kids who bring in their ODed friends to the hospital from being prosecuted for underage drinking or drug charges or standers by who intervene to rescue car crash patients from liability suit, but DC almost certainly has a white list of recognized vigilantes who get this protection for rescuing civilians and taking on police work on volunteer basis.

  • It just does.

  • For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it's cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.

  • He'll Be Fine

    Jump

  • At least with everything the same we maintain the chance to turn it into "make everything better", as easy as it is to get disillusioned with the system at present, nobody can deny that it's a lot easier to achieve anything within than a defacto fascist autocracy

  • JD Vance pick adds to European fears over Trump presidency

    Jump

  • That is also true.

  • Islamic State group claims deadly attack in Oman

    Jump

  • What the heck did Oman do‽ Everyone loves Oman!

  • JD Vance pick adds to European fears over Trump presidency

    Jump

  • He might be that now, but Trump is gonna make sure to break him of that competence and any accompanying confidence.

    The man cannot handle the idea of someone being in a position to replace him even if he dies, because to him that means they can replace him in a plot to kick him out.

  • Senior North Korean diplomat defects to South

    Jump

  • How do most defectors fare once the integration process is complete? Does Seoul help with post defection career placement?

  • While Republicans decry left-wing violence (despite the fact that Trump's shooter was a conservative), remember that the right supports and commits acts of violence far more often than the left

    Jump

  • These people have affiliation based morality, what determines if a given action was moral or not is who did it, not even in a context sense, as in literally they think child rape is completely moral if done by someone from their community and that even charity to the point of enduring asceticism to support the less fortunate is heinous because the person doing it was Wiccan.

    My SO would literally be considered as bad as satan himself for working on a farming cooperative to provide fresh produce for the impoverished via a community pantry, for no reason besides she's not Christian.

    The point is, we're all vile brutes for even smacking one of them, but if they commit actual prosecutable terrorism via mass killing, they'll see it as completely justified because one of the good people did it.

    They literally just stole predestination from the Calvinists and slapped a warped version of the halo effect on it for good measure.

  • Baltic countries notify Russia and Belarus they will exit the Moscow-controlled electricity grid

    Jump

  • Sounds like Estonia figured out how to network cybersecurity with their neighbors, because Russia is gonna go absolutely nuts trying to attack their grid now.

  • doing my best google impression Did you mean: turn it up?

  • Years later and that album launch is still traumatizing folks XD

  • “It’s sick”

    Jump

  • They just feel teased by the botched shot is all, they'll probably shut up about it once Trump inevitably manages to spectacularly blow any sympathy he might have gained over this, as he is often want to do.

    Guy's gonna hit the circuits like a lightning bolt about this, and inevitably he's gonna say something that puts it right back into everyone's head what exactly he's proposing for his second term.

    It's absolutely wild to think about, it's the first campaign in history where both candidates survive mostly on a strategy of talking as little as humanly possible and under as controlled circumstances as humanly possible.

    The way to win is to actively avoid reminding everyone that the candidate you support is one of the candidates, because of just how much the media has poisoned the well that this very obvious outcome is some unforeseen portent of oncoming doom because gasp two first term presidents are seeking the second term.

    Like what in fuck were people expecting was gonna happen, a divine intervention? Joe's literally said that it'd take that much at minimum to convince him to hand the reins even to Kamala, nevermind how Donny would probably spit in the eye of god himself at the suggestion that anyone but him, even a magically created exact copy of him in a younger body, should take over the campaign.
