Pornhub does this in several US states. When you try to connect you get a message about why it’s blocked in your state. So far I don’t know of any state that has changed the law back.

Home owners association. Theoretically they exist for homeowners to collectively make neighborhoods they live in a better place, but in practice they often devolve into orgs led by busybodies drunk on power who harass homeowners just trying to live their lives the way they want.

Conceptually, it’s always supposed to have been something akin to Patreon, where creators can be supported by fans via a subscription model. A combination of lax rules around nudity and probably sheer inertia meant that “creators” ended up being pretty much only sex workers. OF then tried to pivot away from that and we all knows how well that went.

It still is that way, it just depends on what kind of content you engage with. People on reddit/lemmy LOVE to hate on short form video content but it isn’t inherently destructive or evil IMO., it just depends on how you interact with it.

I know online keyboard warrior armchair expert types always jump to mental health diagnoses but that sounds a lot like someone I know who has poorly regulated BPD/schizophrenia

Good advice, but unfortuntlately my org is pretty strict about using unnaproved software and that’s definitely not on the approved list lol

Palestinians hate this one weird trick

Funnily enough, you used as an example the only new feature I actually like and rely on. I use it for things like PWs for shared service accounts (dont @ me, I know it’s bad practice and our org does have a pw manager but these accounts aren’t managed by it and I am not in control of them)

Also useful for things that are needed temporarily but I dont know how long that ‘temporary’ is going to be.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew the whole lungs problem and that was really what I had in mind but just kind of assumed there’d be similar dangers to other bodily functions but I see that’s not the case.

I do believe the water would still be an issue for your eyes and maybe even mouth but good to know you wouldn’t immediately have blood literally boiling in your veins.

Ever seen a picture of a blobfish in it’s deep ocean habitat vs when it is at the surface? It’s body is adapted to the extreme pressure of the deep sea, and when that pressure is no longer there, the forces keeping it’s shape are no longer present and thus every bit of it expands. That’s what would happen to us in the vacuum of space albeit on a lesser scale. Also, we’re like 70% water which boils in a vacuum.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do more, but there are plenty of ongoing protests. Just because you don’t see them in the news everyday didn’t mean they aren’t happening. Minneapolis, Portland, LA, DC and more all have protests that have been more or less ongoing since the shit hit the fan in their respective areas. The difference between this country and Franve can’t be understated im terms of geographic size and population density. It is MUCH harder to sustain protests when we’re all so spread out compared to am entire country the size of Texas.

Nice of them to go back to Portland where a large number of activists probably still have the gear they bought in 2020.

Yeah all that is kind of a moot point anyway when there’s 15 flock cameras tracking you all the way from home to protest location.

But i also think it depends on the aims of a protest. If it’s to gather a large crowd and march/chant/just be a presence I don’t think worrying about being identified is with too much since like you said it’s kind of the point. If there goal is a little more subsersive I can see taking those precautions. I’ve recently read in to a bit of the Hong Kong protests and one of the things they did that was effective was to constantly group up and erect barricades etc and then sort of disband and meet up elsewhere. So the sort of “good trouble” that people might feel the need to cause in the near future as things progress could definitely require a bit more OpSec.

we have funny comedians i swear

Flula Borg is evidence enough for me

I believe that’s intended, so it’s harder for you to compare models from different retailers. At least that’s how it works for mattresses.

The crazy thing is that was on HIS OWN PODCAST

At this point I’m not even sure this truly is sarcasm

They’re definitely out there. TikTok is actually pretty good for all these little micro niche communities at least as far as seeing people who are still keeping the culture alive.

Bad take. If movies didn’t make you feel things, you’d have no reason to watch them.

For sure, I honestly just added that bit so it would sound like i knew what i was talking about at least a little bit.

Also the idea of a windows server having an uptime in years gives me chills in a bad way.
