I am moving to a blue state as soon as possible. Work already lined up, working on housing and arrangements for my animals. It’s not safe here.

They say that, but when Ken Paxton subpoenas them they will say they have no choice. It would be better to use an app that doesn’t store this data server side at all.

It’s the sound of snow squeak-crunching under my feet for me. I shudder every time it happens.

Great Wolf Sif…

And now I’m crying, I hope you’re happy.

Any “pro-life” fuckheads want to speak up here? This is the inevitable result of laws criminalizing healthcare. The doctors could not act without risking criminal prosecution in Texas and this young woman died. Or maybe killing women was the goal all along? Solving Texas’ teen pregnancy problem one dead teen at a time.

Full agree. I do want some kind of policy for games that introduce anti-cheat both during early access and after release. Bricking a game you paid for should offer some sort of recourse.

She was an icon from my childhood, an amazing actress.

He just feels good because he’s been sober for the first time since he was a child, it won’t last.

Main-lining high grade depression. It’s my go-to threat when someone tells me they think anime is ‘too silly’ to watch.

These motherfuckers have denied me a CT scan twice in the last month. First after saying they needed additional diagnostics before the scan and then saying it just wasn’t needed after my doctor did the additional (useless) tests that they asked for the first time.

Everyone who works at this corporate travesty should feel deeply ashamed for denying care for millions of people who need it.

With this model everything about you will be shared with every appliance in the vicinity.

What burns me is how long this has been going on and how many people who must have known but who did nothing.

My issue wasn’t with the show, but with Paramount+ as an app with it’s 60+ trackers. I actually really like the show, just not enough to deal with Paramount’s spyware.

I really, really dislike social situations that don’t have formal structure to them. Professionally I can talk to strangers no problem, because roles and expectations are set, similarly I can go to a tabletop gaming convention and play games with people and it’s fine.

I struggle in situations where the rules are more nebulous, but I still manage it. It just takes practice. I definitely lean on my husband for that type of thing when I can though.

The design there is basically the telephony equivalent to dark patterns. Like endless IVR loops. Throw as many roadblocks in the way of someone trying to cancel while not technically making it impossible: outsource your cancellation department and make sure they use a lossy codec so everything sounds like mud. Then the agent will try to beg you off for another month and, if successful, the thought of having that horrible experience again will discourage you from taking action.

This certainly makes me happy that Biden and not Trump was in office when Putin invaded. Trump would have handed Ukraine over on a platter to daddy Vladdy.

People who died of COVID usually didn’t die with COVID. People who are looking for a reason to blame anything but the virus for deaths point at that distinction as though it is somehow meaningful.

The most powerful winds were well off the coast in Mexico, still i think the surge was 4-6 feet.

What is really annoying is that there are a lot of really good data modeling applications, they are just in research areas. Generative AI is absolutely a waste of resources, but a ton of money and energy is spent on that instead of on the applications that are actually bearing fruit.

A deal penned under the Trump administration because of course it was. Government sold to the highest bidder.
