Well, I haven’t been following the news, but Iran is stable; we’re not in an occupation fighting the natural political tendencies of an entire populace the way we were in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan… Iran is not a china shop.

Is there a word for memes that totally lack the context of their original images to the point of being opposite the intention of the creator?
Because I think the next scene is Ledger’s Joker setting that pile of money on fire.
Source on French defections in Algeria? Sounds fascinating.


Weird considering we haven’t declared “war” since 1942.


Ah, so you have friends and family! That is a blessing, and I know that from distant experience.


I guess I don’t understand why remote access is such a popular use case. Throw some shit on your phone, h/d, or thumbdrive and you’re good for a few hours. I crammed 4 full seasons of STNG on my phone recently.

You could definitely make a marsupial, but I think the challenge would be keeping the pocket dry and fungus-free.


And Marsters is in a few Torchwoods as Basically Spike.


Will it be awkward for a new Buffy series to reference Scooby Doo since SMG was in it? Like when Marvel references the Big Lebowski when Jeff Bridges was in the second Iron Man.


I like to use the time filter and can listen in 5 languages; “oldies” in various genres, times, and places, isn’t that hard to research–plenty of free internet radio out there.
Sorry to the new bands out there.
Edit: Also I find the mindset of finding the exact best music is kind of unhealthy. Building a tolerance for meh actually helps me discover things that don’t immediately and instantly appeal to me, and I think that leads to more musical variety in the long run than the skip-happy attitude streaming encourages.
I got away from Microsoft two years ago, so my references are out of date.


Everybody is paying for some kind of music streaming service of some kind or another.
Count me out. I’m building a music library of my own with the help of my local library, thrift stores, and the internet. And, shit, I just got a record player, too.


How are they not getting blocked?
I’ve thought of mass scraping youtube for music, but it’s not worth ths risk of being banned by Google for life.


I haven’t noticed, but my grocery store recently limitted their cash back to $40, so you have to split your purchases into separate transactions until you have the cash you want.
And I guess that’s the opposite problem that for-profit products have, so desperate to maximize every marketing dollar that every fucking thing has the same name in it even if it’s a fundamentally different product.
Microsoft Outlook is the poster child of this in the software space.


Ah. I’m using an app to expand previous comments and it shows me the comment I’m responding to, but not other replies, so I thought I was out here my own; but expanding out, looks like he got dragged.


So a guy says “Hitler was right to kill all the jews” and the one everyone is picking fights with is the guy saying “hmm” about it.
Interesting.


And the guy “well, actually”ing me and not the guy retroactively justifying Hitler’s holocaust?
Maybe it’s a comfortiig to think all the anti-semites are mossad agents, but I don°t think it’s true. The instinct to racialize social problems is very human.


Getting distracted by the ethical dimensions of histoical blame is really a fucking weird move in a discussion that started with “Hitler was right.”
There’s one person in this thread actively advocating for genocide, and it’s not either of us.
Depending on how security is, you can plug a USB-c hub and connect it to a KBM and run it that way…
