Stop ordering the fries and a drink. Shit’s bad enough already. Dinner’s $5 and I bring a drink with me.

Consumerism is killing us and corporations will not self-correct until you hit them on the nose with a curled up newspaper.

Absorbing all that good will and sending it right back out to others. We’re about to see if the American people still want their freedoms.

Because they were mostly dead lmao

That’s… not really accurate. All the stuff with the Krogan and Rachni happened centuries prior to humanity making contact. What the story does hint is that humans are not the only ones with racist tendencies. (After rereading, this may have been what you were trying to say)

Humanity butts up against Batarian space and, due to their own conflicts with the galactic political paradigm, that race had shifted to a more hostile system of governance that freely allowed slavery and piracy and the like because everyone else was inferior.

Naturally, we hate them because they hate us.

I’d say the best answer to this conservative is that it’s like open carrying a handgun. Just because someone is carrying a handgun doesn’t make them the bad guy, so you leave them alone.

But if they draw that weapon and threaten someone, you call the cops.

…or another good guy with a gun?

Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol, which isn’t inherently dangerous. The ‘torrent’ contains the information that’s being passed around to allow connectivity to that particular file. This is also not inherently dangerous as that information is very specific and limited… and doesn’t allow any other user to browse the rest of your computer.

What may be dangerous is downloading a file that contains malware or viruses via a torrent. Use reputable sites and keep your security software up to date. Better yet, use a different computer for this activity with a vpn.

Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.

I can’t really describe to you how angry I was when that shit went through. Like… I knew it was ridiculous to get so angry but, I LOVED THAT FREAKING APP.

This was way back but had a basic support call for someone who couldn’t get their mouse to work.

After speaking with them for over ten minutes and just being generally confused I cut to the chase and asked, “Ma’am, what are you doing with your mouse right now?”

The answer? She was moving the mouse around on the monitor.

I’d love to see more funny video communities. (Bad drivers, epic fails, etc) I know it’s basic, apologies. Sometimes I just need to laugh.

This was my recent problem in Texas. Was also throwing the breaker on the reg.

Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren’t doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.

Don’t think that exists anymore.

That dude started to get a dad bod and said F that, I need to fit into this t-shirt all the way to my casket.

That’s so sad to me. From my POV being non-binary isn’t aggressive. It’s just that there are more important things to worry about than gender.

Driving slow in the left hand lane

My sister and I were wee little ones who one week brought home scads of stuff given to us by our school from the American Cancer society. We went running up to our dad screaming “We don’t want you to die daddy!” with all that childish exuberance, and he quit cold turkey the next day.

I have to work SO HARD to see this the right way haha

Me trying to imagine how

The only power consumers have is voting with your wallet.
