Trans woman that lives in a big city here. After multiple scary encounters and one requiring pepper spray, I don’t walk outside at night by myself anymore. It’s amazing that when the world saw me as a guy a decade ago that I could wear headphones and not be even slightly concerned. That’s just not the case anymore.

Vance makes more sense as a Trump VP than Pence ever did. Just a big lyin’ sack of shit who doesn’t care about facts or reality, just saying whatever BS line serves his purpose in that very moment.

Pence is a christian fascists fuck, but at least he has principals. They are misguided evil controlling ones, but the man at least has a backbone.

The various cyber attacks by the CIA done with the “you can’t prove it was us” Anonymous cover.

Can’t hurt.

However I don’t really care what Republican leaders say at all, hopefully Republican voters do.

Assimilating a single Zerg doesn’t change the fact there is 10,000,000,000 more of them rushing in.

True Incognito mode is a myth, it only stops keeping a history in the tab of that browser. Everytime you use a browser to go to any site ever, the browser logs you went there. So does your ISP and the site your connecting to. No matter which mode or browser you use, if you go to Google, then Google knows you went there and logs your searches.

The closest you can come to browsing the web anonymously would be with a mix of dedicated privacy OS like Tails and either a VPN or Tor as a middile man, but that assumes those proxys are not corrupted. Free VPNs make money by selling your “secret browsing” habits.

The internet is nothing more than wires, if you connect your wire to someone elses, every intermediatary knows.

Laura Loomer is a cheesy superhero name.

Selling out your wife to advance your career is small town family values.

The reality is that trans people wait YEARS on a list trying to get surgery. And that’s after receiving referrals from two separate psychiatrists. The fact that conservatives think that this happens overnight behind parents backs is a deluded cruel joke.

So I don’t have anything to say about Masterson other than he’s a monster. But to share a related personal anctodote.

It’s very possible the veil was lifted, so to speak, at that trial.

A few years ago I started becoming more active with a friend I had grown distant with. She introduced me to her new circle of friends which included a guy named Barry. Who was awaiting trial for “something that was blown out of proportion”, this was an ongoing very long process since covid pushed his court date back like two years in total. So I met him a few times and heard him describe the case. But I was always skeptical of his story, how do you just wake up in a bush with a gun to a police dog with zero recollection of the night before?

But I let it slide in the moment because I was in a pretty vulnerable lonely place after a bad breakup, however I made DAMN sure to actually attend his trial. The only one of the friend group who did, and he was very thankful and called me a good friend. But I really just wanted to hear the story from the defense.

Barry didn’t mention the gun shots he fired as his ex girlfriend or the camera footage showing him stumbling around with a gun. He didn’t mention that he was shooting outside when his home is next to a school and it caused the school to close, also didn’t mention the threats he made. The lawyer for Barry couldn’t make much of a defense for him, just that he was in AA and doesn’t drink anymore.

Barry went to jail. And I made absolutely sure that everyone heard abiut what I learned. But the tradgey was that most people just thought I had a personal grudge against him. That I didn’t know how crazy his ex GF was and that she totally (probably) provoked him.

Long story short, it’s easy to talk around the truth to you friends, who of course will take your side. Going to a trial and hearing the evidence yourself can be a very eye opening experience.

Well to be fair, Hasbro is just a small startup. Of course they need AI to level the playing field with the other mega conglomerate in the board game space.

Beat ya to it.

Yup. That’s super gross. I totally agree.

But, probably not for the same reason.

“it has no wokeness.”

These sort of opinions should just be entirely ignored. They are from unserious people either celebrating or raging at imaginary non-problems. “Woke” in it’s modern usage by right leaning culture war dorks is entirely undefined, from including PoC to acknowledging queer people exist.

So, I feel you on getting the ick from sharing the same space as these bigots, but don’t let them take away hobbies from you because of their narrow minded hate.

I still believe 9/11 was an inside job or at least high level officials, including Bush, were aware it was going to happen

Crazy talk. This was absolutely not a widely held opinion.

The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!

There is a pretty decent chance I saw that on the day it was posted. I feel old. 😔

The shooting happened when Gardner pulled out a revolver, intending to fire a blank round into the air to signal the start of the outdoor ceremony

No fucking reason to shoot a live gun into the air. This alone should be charged as reckless endangerment.

thys thrad js dumb, WHY wuld u mAke thys?!?

Ah, I can see that in your original comment. Well, if that’s the case then I totally agree. 👍😉❤️
