MAAA is the sound a sheep makes when the wolf has caught it.

FUCK YOU.

STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO FOLLOW.

Well, put your hand on your head like you would a mouse. If you push forward what happens? You look down. There’s no “correct” way here.

You’re not kidding. While reading this post, I checked in on ThatOnePrivacyGuy’s VPN table in Google sheets. At the bottom of the table, there’s a link to ThatOnePrivacySite.xyz (the real site) but an ad popped up, as if it was the link you should click on, to ThatOnePrivacySite.net (a fake site). How are people told to ‘just do 10 minutes of research’ supposed to deal with things like aggressive dark patterns and soft linkjacking?

Edit: The fake linkjacked site recommends ExpressVPN as the top VPN. Haiyaaa.

Just heard about Neil Gaiman, did he?

I rather quite like the marshmallow version.

Indeed. Wise decision for everyone else too.

This is a good insight that has wide application. For example in the context of investing: every portfolio is always fully invested, even 100% cash which runs the risk of not meeting the investor’s goals.

However it’s not always true in all contexts. For example in formal games, there may be a no-risk path to victory for you, where every move can be dominant. In this sense there is no risk in taking those dominant moves to win the game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_capitalism

Authoritarian capitalism, or illiberal capitalism, is an economic system in which a capitalist market economy exists alongside an authoritarian government. Related to and overlapping with state capitalism, a system in which the state undertakes commercial activity, authoritarian capitalism combines private property and the functioning of market forces with restrictions on dissent, complete lack of freedom of speech or significant limits on it, and either a lack of elections or an electoral system with a single dominant political party.

Next stop, elimination of the Democratic party.

oh, tots and pears

There are also plenty of counterexamples of helpful, sometimes even brave, bystanders.

Mustard can sometimes be the perfect ingredient on the side, or part of a sauce. There are a lot of different mustards, but the one I use the most is classic Dijon.

Maybe creamed corn is different where you are, but the creamed part is a sauce that goes with the corn. It’s meant to be eaten with the corn and not supposed to be discarded, so I don’t know why you’re straining it.

Why are you straining it? It’s like saying your bottle of fresh orange juice has hardly any pulp after you strain it.

Sleazy guy at the bar says…

Edit: anyway, your birthday is 1 Jan 1970.

The only reason they are not shooting Democrats in the streets is because they don’t need to. The regime is consolidating power while Democrats go to work, producing wealth that the regime can steal, it’s a win/win. The media on the left is a couple of years behind the right at this point. While the right acknowledges “we are at war”, the left is still trying to make peace while their position is eroded daily. The war has already started and the regime is winning.

This is exactly why I can only laugh and shake my head at the everyday fascists like Connor Estelle who think they will always be in the in-group. Fascism eats society from the outside in until there is nothing left.

It doesn’t matter any more what the Supreme Court has previously ruled. Speech is protected if it supports the regime and not protected otherwise. Things are moving quickly now.

Laura apparently wants her supporters to end up like Charlie Kirk.

These arguments always remind me of this quote from The West Wing: “Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don’t need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense. That’s my position.”
