The other night, I was eating lunch at my desk, in our small open office. The IT guy and one of the robot techs were debating whether the summary execution of Alex Pretti was justified. IT guy believes the government’s version of events, suggesting that Alex brandished his firearm (which is patently false). They openly support the state’s murder, and further, encourage it. It might be a bit difficult to get them to go along with a massacre, but they’ve already been walked through 2 murders, and are primed for more.

Would something like this ever happen? Hope not. But if it does, god help us all.

I’ve checked out from trying to advocate for the truth. You cannot reason with someone who is arguing in bad faith. The blatant disregard for the live’s lost, instead focusing on proving a point to justify the theft of those live’s. It’s gross. How anyone can look at the system that has been fully exposed in front of them and say More of that! blows my mind. But those are the people that will backup Trump if such a thing happened.

I just wanted to be able to watch my movies on the TV. And then…I have like a dozen users with only 1-3 accessing the server at any given time. Now it is something special. I seriously need to get a NAS.

I guess I had assumed that this ability was unique to me in this scenario. If everyone had the ability, reality would become quite a mess.

I’d trade lifespan in order to be able to be in-the-moment just a bit longer during my son’s accomplishments, milestones, life events. It could be just another 5 minutes, or more. But also to be able to have more time in-the-moment for when he needs me to be his protector. Time to analyze and get my head around something that is unfolding realtime. The ability to find the right words, and a way to say something heavy in the right tone and with grace.

Typing this all out made me cry. So much is going wrong for me right now, but the thought of “work will be over soon, I’ll get to be with my boy soon” helps me get through these days. And now I might be losing my dad earlier than I thought. I am worried that I might get sick too. I’d take all of the time I can if it could get me more time for right now.

I’m living vicariously through that moment. Might be my new “happy place”

Can’t believe I never heard about this. The fuck, man.

You’re right, there are effectively 2 options. Guess which option a trans person would vote for?

I would vote for whichever candidate that has firm, unflinching, support for Trans, NB and GNC people. Someone who will rescind every EO (with special focus on anti-LGBT orders), return our dignity and sense of belonging, and vow to veto any and all anti-LGBTQ+ pieces of legislation.

This is of course in addition to abolishing ICE.

Fat chance of either, unfortunately.

Absolutely. This is truly a masterpiece.

I’d say we throw that hypothetical person a parade. During which, they are presented with various awards, and accolades. Definitely an honorary doctorate somewhere too. We would then of course need to nominate that person for a Nobel peace prize—and I’d bet they’d win.

Sex scenes in TV/Movies are lame. What do they really provide to the story? Like the stuff in Thrones. It was beyond gratuitous. I could definitely do without scenes of SA as well. (I know it was in the books). It seems pretty clear who these scenes with topless women are for. Clearly I am not in the target audience lol.

Perhaps I am just a bit uncultured when it comes to film as art, and the metaphors that are drawn by these scenes.

I’m typically active for 6 hours of an 8 hour shift. I’m pretty sure that sleeping, even if on a break, is terminable where I work.

My son is 17, and recently told me he was looking for part time work. I’m fine with it, as long as his grades stay up. The selfish part of me wants him to not work yet. I’m hanging on to these moments of us spending time together. I know that he will not stay home forever, and I worry so so much. Like, if I’m not there, I cannot catch him. But again, he needs to experience these things, and be able to pick himself back up. At the end of the day, I support his desire to start venturing out into the world.

If god were real, and created the universe, I’d think that its existence would be described as something that just is. There is no start or end, no body to observe, nothing to communicate with. In the way that this supreme power would exist, there is no way for us to quantify it.

Maybe it’s excited oxygen molecules?

Just imagine how chill the world would be if we were all a bunch of goobers?

So because you are not American, the crappy things he said do not make him a crappy person? How does that make sense?

Just checked his Wikipedia page. I am having a hard time understanding how you are justifying what he has said. He’s a piece of shit who made a funny comic.

I bought an external DVD burner and a small pack of DVDs in 2023. Pretty sure I was burning gparted or some other recovery type LiveCD. It was some sort of Hail Mary on a retro project, or something.

But yeah, optical media bad.
