It was outside of my marriage too.

Bean lied to*

The pieces fit in my ass

Originally from The West Wing, but that’s a good line to pull.

• Congressman Skinner: Josh, all the Marriage Recognition Act does is ensure that a radical social agenda isn’t thrust upon an entire country that isn’t ready for it yet.
• Josh Lyman: Thirty-two states have passed laws banning same-sex marriage; the states are doing a fine job protecting themselves from a ‘radical social agenda’ without a federal shield.
• Congressman Skinner: Josh…
• Josh Lyman: I like you guys that wanna reduce the size of government: make it just small enough so it can fit in our bedrooms.

That’s cuz you gotta bring your own TP with you instead of it being provided to you for free. No need for a TP holder tube if you’re not gonna share.

Wait, are US bathrooms communist???

where all of the public schools are terrible

…from having no money

you’re going to want to look for other options

…if you have money

If the private schools in your area are way better

…funded

then you would want to send your kids there

…and your money

Public schools can also compare/see what private schools are doing that’s working

…like having money

and update their policy/curriculum to improve themselves

…like by enacting a policy of having money

Fully expected some ineffectual BS, but then I saw the author was Robert Reich so I decided to give it the time of day.

He’s got some good points. Musk is very vulnerable in a lot of ways, and there’s a decent amount of ammo to attack him on each of those fronts.

If regular people, businesses, and governments all decided to say “fuck you” to him in unison, he could be bankrupt, imprisoned, dethroned, and banned from several industries in just a few years’ time.

Now, his worst-case scenario is extremely unlikely… but I wonder if the fact that bits and pieces of it might come to fruition is why he’s gone so batshit insane over the past several years. It must seem like there’s no choice but to double down on the grift now.

It’s ridiculous from the start.

So you want to know how Jefferson would think about gig workers spoofing the GPS on their jailbroken phone to game their virtual employer’s algorithmic payment model?

You’re gonna need to find enough relevant text about his philosophy that you can confidently assert what he’d think if he stepped out of a time machine (and had 5-10 years to catch up), or you need to map every little aspect of the modern world back to a colonial era concept that’s specific enough to be an accurate translation, which just seems like too massive of a construct to remain useful.

It’s a doomed task. And for what? How is it even useful?

By the way: You Are Not So Smart has a great interview with the author of “The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution’s Original Meaning”, if you prefer to listen to discussion of the absurdity of Originalism.

It’s the screenshot equivalent of a TV show cutting to the next scene the moment a punchline lands — usually a stronger and more “taboo” punchline that followed up in the dramatic pause after a previous more light-hearted punchline.

Ms. Pac-Man is the definitive version though.

(Internet slang, derogatory, far-right)

This seems risky. “Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

On the other hand, vamping is his entire persona. If she can shut that down and emphasize how pathetic it is (without losing her own composure), it’s basically game over.

Why not?

Well…

It discourages self-reporting, makes vendors hostile to security researchers, opens the door to endless litigation over whose component actually “caused” a vulnerability… encourages CYA culture (like following a third-party spec you know is bad rather than making a good first-party one, because it guarantees blame will fall on another party)

In a complex system with tight coupling, failure is normal, so you want to have a good way to monitor and remedy failure rather than trying to prevent 100% of it. The last thing you wanna do is encourage people to be hostile to failure-monitoring.

Intriguing. Can we get a reference for approximately how frightening this would be?

Splatoon is great if you have Switches.

Helldivers 2 is PvE but is a great group experience.

Extraction shooters might be a thing? Hunt: Showdown?

Aren’t MP3s just a statistical correlation?

Besides, you really don’t need to zoom in on “but muh license agreement” to roast these AI turds.

They’re very clear: We’re gonna put creatives out of work, we’re gonna sell a unified product to replace them, and we’re gonna use their own labor to build their replacements.

That’s anticompetitive.

Nail em on that instead of trying to thread the needle on reining in the tech lords without damaging e.g. linguistic analysis researchers.
