And all of the military stationed at the border will be turned around to keep people in once Trump moves on from immigrants to trans people, or some other group who will be forced to flee the country to avoid being put in the concentration camps that will be empty and need people to keep the prison companies’ profits up.
Yep AuDHD here with RSD. I just always assume people aren’t interested in connecting with me. Even though it’s not always true. But if someone doesn’t make any effort to keep in touch, I assume they aren’t interested and they are no longer at the front of my mind. Keeps me from being hurt when it happens for real. But it’s not intentional. I’ve just been rejected too many times due to my undiagnosed AuDHD.
Most recently, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, had great world building and character development.
Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the “save the children” rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.
Don’t worry, in a couple of months, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division will be going away since it’s considered too “woke” and the attorney general will be too busy with shoving immigrants into makeshift concentration camps, making sure that women die when their pregnancies go wrong, jailing Trump’s “enemies”, and gutting the justice system to "break down legal restrictions and traditional protections against political interference” since that’s what Trump and Gaetz have said are the priorities. Problem solved. /s
Deciding to ignore something that causes people to suffer because it doesn’t affect you is wrong. Not having a set opinion on how to fix it is perfectly normal. Not everyone can understand the details enough to form an informed opinion. Just don’t decide something isn’t a problem because one group says it’s not without real evidence, especially if they’re the ones who created and/or benefit from the problem.
Assuming it’s not just using body doubles which is the easiest way, usually you film the same actor twice with the camera left in place and then splice the two films together either by physically cutting and pasting the film or more recently with software. The software also has the advantage that it can blend things better, and fix lighting differences, and differences in film exposure which isn’t as big of an issue now with film quality being more consistent. Often in older films you can often see an obvious difference between the two shots.
There’s also some films where they take a much easier approach where they film one scene and then use a green screen for the second take. This allows for doing the takes at different times since the camera might get moved or other small changes that are difficult to work around in a single day and allows for multiple camera angles to be used more easily, but it can be difficult to get the aspect ratios and depth just right, so it often looks less natural if the first take has the character along the same or too similar of a plane of depth as the second.
"Woke"just means logic- and fact-based now. So it’s as much a “cult” as scientists were called a “cult” by religions in the past.
Jan 1 my out of pocket maximum resets so I’m going to hurry and start getting some medical stuff done hopefully that I can fit into a single year. If not then it won’t get done. Sucks that we have to ration medical care in the US, even when we pay thousands per year for insurance.
OK, then look at cable TV. Or any other industry where a tax or regulatory fee was added and a customer gets a detailed bill with charges other than the product cost. They just add line items and pass it on, but of course most of the time those line items aren’t directly connected to the cost itself since the consumer wasn’t the direct target. So the companies add a little extra for “processing” (i.e. profit). It’s a common practice and likely to be the same with the tariffs.
I don’t watch many things that have commercials. Only if I really want to see something and nothing else is more convenient or it’s just for background noise while working on a project.
But since so many streaming sites let the ads be super loud compared to the content, yes, I usually mute it a couple of seconds ahead of time to avoid the jump scare.
They’ll do the same thing big restaurant chains did where they couldn’t pay their tipped employees less than minimum wage anymore. They’ll add a new “service charge” so they don’t have to increase the product price directly. They’ll make it much higher than the actual tariff costs, but say “hey look we’re not charging you a full 20% more.” Even though the tariff isn’t 20% of the retail price but people who support the tariffs are dumb and will think they’re doing good.
Most garbage disposals just cause more trouble that they’re worth since they turn small chunks of food into paste and that’s more likely to stick to the insides of drains and cause more clogs than the small chunks, as long as your drains are properly maintained. And a halfway decent strainer will keep out the larger pieces. It’s also not good for your city drains and makes sewage processing more expensive. Better to use composting for your food scraps if you can.
Yeah they may not cooperate with authorities, but I’m sure they’d be happy to sell it to contractors working on behalf of the government to the same ends. They already sell the info as it is.
Protecting my privacy. I am gender nonconforming and on HRT. So with the current political atmosphere and the fact that it has enabled and encouraged hate speech and attacks, I’ll new to be more careful on platforms that my identity is more prevalent.
I’m not going to hide, as I’m not hiding by posting here. But I’m going to remove my data from corporate platforms that have connections to law enforcement and have poor security that insist on keeping my personal details. Can’t trust the federal government or any company, starting next year if the Project 2025 or Trump’s plan are truly put in place.
If there were death threats against people working for me, I’d tell them to avoid those people, too. It’s not discrimination. It’s a safety issue. A lot of them were threatening to shoot FEMA workers if they violated their property.
It’s not very different if you don’t dig into the guts of the thing. I think the people most afraid of making the switch are actually the ones it is easiest for. If you’re not used to digging into the windows registry and haven’t upgraded to powershell 7, then you probably won’t touch much of what’s different in Linux.
The hardest part is picking a distribution – I usually recommend either Fedora or Ubuntu. – and an xwindows system – and coming from Windows I usually recommend KDE Plasma or from MAC I’d recommended GNOME. So either:

OR
The only reason I stuck with Windows for so long was PC gaming. But I don’t do much of that anymore and what I do actually do runs fine on Linux these days. So I haven’t looked back. But you can always install Linux after Windows is already present if you have a spare hard drive and boot into either at will. Just don’t try to do the opposite since Windows installer will corrupt your Linux boot setup.
But to each his own. Windows is now a platform like many others where you trade your personal information for services instead of or in addition to your money. Some people are OK with that and that’s totally fair.
Take some basic logic classes first. It’s really helpful for a lot of people before learning math and science. I didn’t realize how many people aren’t just logical thinkers by default sine I am. But being able to consciously think that way will help a ton with math.
Trump Putin Will Soon Get Classified Briefings Again
Presidents are now immune from prosecution for basically anything they do in an official capacity thanks to the corrupted Supreme Court. So who’s going to stop him? Even if Congress makes a new, specific law against it with dire consequences, he’s putting loyalists in law enforcement and the courts can’t enforce the law when the highest one will overturn any ruling because of that interpretation.
