mnemonicmonkeys,

Man, this one aged like milk

So I finally did the math on data brokerage and worked out how much we're all being robbed

I know this isn’t strictly piracy related, I apologise, but I think it is tangentally related in that piracy protects you from data theft by avoiding the services the biggest thieves operate. Also, I feel like people here might be very interested in this take....

mnemonicmonkeys,

I closed the tab and am now wondering if I need a different weed shop.

The answer is yes. Make sure to also let management know exactly why so they know how bad they fucked up

mnemonicmonkeys,

Actually no, he is not. He’s just a general piece of shit, but nothing proves he’s a pedophile.

mnemonicmonkeys,

And he looks like a pedophile in prep school

mnemonicmonkeys,

During setup there will be a page that asks if you want to create or restore from backups. If you hit “restore”, it’ll ask you to point it to the backups folder inside the Tachiyomi folder. Tachiyomi has backups set up by default, but if it’s disabled you can go to the settings to create a backup

Honestly? Not much. FreeCAD is an abomination, so I’m keeping one of my computers on Windows so that I can still use Fusion360

mnemonicmonkeys,

Okay?

Male bedbugs have a knife-like penis. To have sex, they stab the females in the thorax with it because the females don’t have genitalia. The semen is then injected directly into the female’s main body cavity for insemination

mnemonicmonkeys,

Heads up to everyone, Mangayomi asks for “all files access” in Android, which is generally only reserved for default systems apps. And it keeps asking for it even if you say no and ignore the popup.

Neither Tachiyomi nor any other app has asked me this before. I’m going to caution against using Mangayomi due to this sketchy behavior from them.

I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why

They just sent a hail mary DCMA directly to the devs that’s not even enforceable. If it was, they’d have to go through GitHub with a DCMA request. But the Tachiyomi devs folded for no reason

mnemonicmonkeys,

Heads up, as of last night you can’t search MangaDex via the old extension. Manga you already have favorited are still updated, but you can’t find new ones to favorite

mnemonicmonkeys,

As an engineer, I’ve met engineers that were jocks and engineers that were dumb. Sometimes they’d even be both

mnemonicmonkeys,

How so? You can’t always wait for people to change things for you. Sometimes you have to dobit yourself

mnemonicmonkeys,

My manager does this. If he sees that a job candidate hops jobs a lot he won’t give them an interview. That being said, our yearly raises meet/exceed inflation and he’s a pretty good manager

mnemonicmonkeys,

Almost no one else has ever heard of it.

I dare you to go to NoncredibleDefense and repeat that

mnemonicmonkeys,

Probably national parks

mnemonicmonkeys,

They are basically just democrats except they like guns.

Tbf, there’s liberals like that too, myself included. There’s a joke going around that “once you are far enough left you get your guns back”.

mnemonicmonkeys, (edited )

I agree it’s a cultural issue, but where we’re gonna disagree is that the culture that promotes this degree of gun violence is one that loves guns so much it absolutely refuses to try and take any steps to fix the issue.

I wholly disagree. What Europeans don’t seem to understand about gun violence is that the largest predictor is the gini coefficient of an area, which is a measure of income inequality. The US has the highest gini coefficient of any developed/western country, and because of that correlation you see the largest rates of violent crime.

If you want to want to reduce the rates of violent crime down to match that of Canada your best bet would be to enact legistation to reduce the gini coefficient to a comparable level to Canada. Achieving that by reducing gun ownership in the US would require removing more guns than actually exist in the country.

Furthermore, you don’t actually know what leftists want in regards to gun control, since you’ve likely heard a lot of it from right-leaning sources

No. Just… no. First off, this discussion started off about Democrats, not leftists. And they are definitely not the same.

Second, go look up quotes from Democratic political candidates like Beto O’Rourke. There’s a rather prominent one where he promised to take away people’s ARs - exactly what you’re claiming doesn’t happen.

Third, go look up some of the legislation that has been pushed into Congress over the years. Particularly House Bill 127 in 2021.

I am what the Americans consider VERY far left (A centrist by European standards)

I’m really tired of this claim, because it’s not true and it gets more superfluous the more it gets repeated. The US has a decent share of extreme left-wing individuals, even by Europe’s standards. I know several avowed socialists and communists and the only reason I don’t know more is because I don’t want to wade further into that mess. Not only that, conservative parties in Europe have been growing in popularity, especially in Italy and Spain.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Third, many liberals are openly willing to kill a hobby that most gun owners enjoy without harming anyone

I honestly think a lot of the left’s stance on gun control stems from culture wars. Otherwise you wouldn’t see people reacting so much to pointless things like foregrips, suppressors, or painting guns black.

laws against people with histories of serious psychiatric illness having access

Tbf this is already a thing. If you’ve been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital (morning brain is preventing me from having the right term, sorry) that will show up on a federal background check.

Also, interestingly this and red flag laws can have a negative consequence: it can lead to individuals trying to hide their symptoms and not seek treatment to avoid having their rights taken away, which merely exasperates the problem.

I’m not opposed to having restrictions on gun ownership based on mental health, but there needs to be some way for affected individuals to gain their rights back after seeking treatment (similar to felons regaining their voting rights after a few years), in combination to making said treatment significantly easier to access (preferrably bia universal healthcare).

The Vexillology community is having an aneurysm right now

mnemonicmonkeys,

What you are describing sounds like Deism, which is a philosophy that most of the framers of the US Constitution shared

mnemonicmonkeys,

If you watch the video, Louis explains why they only made it source available

mnemonicmonkeys,

True, but with the ability to combine all competitors in a single feed a significant hurdle has been removed

mnemonicmonkeys,

And they do it so they can take down malicious copycats on Google Play

mnemonicmonkeys,

Tbf, chugging over a gallon of distilled water in one go will actually kill you though
