Uh huh, sure. I believe them and have absolutely no reason to doubt either their honesty or their competency on this matter.

“Don’t tell me what to do with my troops” says Trump at the launch of yet another war-we-dont-call-a-war.

Have you ever met any? They overlap with the white nationalist, trad wives, great replacement theory gotta “outbreed those pesky immigrants with any pigment to their skin”, homeschooling, full bore brainwashing characteristics. Those nutters aren’t dying out from lack of new recruits, they’ll hold on through reinforcement via even more children.

Source: raised in 'em (not Pius, a different but similar faction) and while I left, every single peer I had, now fully grown women, have at least a half dozen kids each to make up for my one -1 to the count. One has 15 kids to date with enough years for at least a couple more; her mom had over a dozen too.

Fun playing devil’s advocate now when I let familial obligations put me in contact with them. My recent favorite has been to get them going on how Catholic monarchy is what this country needs, as in the pope (obvs not Leo now) appoints the US king. Then I throw the curveball and ask what if the pope appoints a US queen?

I just wish I could find an RSS feed of it.

Bone spur recovery treatments and whose daddy is more alpha.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say “instant” and I didn’t state the general definitiveness off a single comment you are trying to box me in with. “What’s a chud?” “This guy is an example of a chud”. It’s no deeper than that.

We’re not on reddit here, we don’t have to turn this into a place that wallows down conversations with that sort of crap.

Pedantic Esquire points out the prompt didn’t say the chud themselves has to be the one uttering the phrase. A phrase stated by someone else about the chud still reveals the subject’s chud-ness.

Someone asked in another community what comes to mind when someone is a “chud”…

He later said he was sorry his choice of language had “offended some people.”

Back to 2nd grade with you, sir, when we learn a good apology takes accountability for one’s actions, not blaming others for their honest reactions to your racism.

My sister. She reads like no one else I’ve ever met. No joke, she can listen to an audiobook on 2x speed while reading a separate physical or ebook at the same time. Two books at once. Madness. Needless to say, she reads a lot and does a pretty good job finding good stuff. So I check in on what she’s liked in genres that overlap with my interest. Check 2 is if I can find a given book at my library.

“art should not be political”

I’m excited to hear an extraterrestrial alien has come to visit, because surely this is not a human being who has lived even one day of the human experience. Too bad the alien is cool with genocide.

Yeah, this is a super common theme from queer people in small rural and/or religious communities. Online may be the only interaction they have for information and support.

My condolences. Where is this “competition breeds excellence” outcome that capitalism promised me?

Within the past year I shopped around for a new home internet provider. The legacy companies encouraged if not required talking to a human being to find out anything about service availability and rates and then be subject to a hard sales pitch. Appointment availability for the install was 2+ weeks out. The new fiber companies had all the info I could want clearly online, appointments available within 2 days, with minimal fuss. The legacy company humans were also often incorrect about their own product, potentially lying to make a sale.

If they act like a company from the 90s, they aren’t going to capture customers who came into adulthood after that.

That’s not even touching on the speeds they offer are slower than their competitors for a steeper price.

When my brother’s brother-in-law passed, he gave all that to my brother. Both on the high end of tech/self-hosting capabilities. I’ve come to the conclusion much of it wasn’t worth it.

I’ll be focusing on ensuring access to financial accounts is passed on cleanly. And I’m working on digitizing all remaining physical photo negatives, then planning how to share all digitally with family while still alive. Since I don’t expect any to be interested in maintaining a server after I’m gone, I’m thinking I’ll keep it simple and just give everyone an external hard drive with all the photos. It’s up to them to do what they want with the drive. A copy to each sibling is increases odds it’s survives for a generation.

I’ll make project notes and plans available to anyone interested, but no hard feelings if no one is interested. And my music and movies can disappear for all I care. My tastes are pretty mainstream so I’m not thinking about archival value.

The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers. I recognize it’s a passion project for a lot of those involved and I am grateful.

Roku has a Jellyfin app.

Roku device locked down with parental controls + Jellyfin app connected to your server + a non-admin Jellyfin user account so they can’t click all the buttons.

The Roku aoo isn’t great for my use because it’s stripped down. Maybe a benefit in your case.

Ok if at the behest of domestic powers tho

Lol, only if he were a lot poorer and a lot less white. That mother fucker launched a UK political party, acquired citizenship to Vanuatu, and rubbed elbows with the American Right in Florida. All within 2025 year to date.

I asked an LLM client to name my last batch of homebrew. It suggested, “Phresh Pilsner”. My 90 year old grandma would think that’s lame AF.
