Are you sure you saw anything? I certainly didn’t. Especially at large corporate retail stores.

Theft against banks.

With his lifestyle, nature will pardon him from having to pay that fine long before it gets to the point where he can’t appeal it to a higher court.

Out of a cannon? The only Cannons I know of take forever and put people on pedestals instead of where they belong.

An important thing to consider: Mastodon doesn’t have an “algorithm” for presenting posts in your subscription feed.

That doesn’t mean it “does not have an algorithm” entirely, though. There’s a couple of non-trivial ones being used to recommend friends and calculate the trending posts and tags that show up on the front page, and they do actually consider likes/shares as part of scoring.

Investigators found searches on her phone for how to poison pets, how much bleach is needed to kill an animal, and how to clear search history

Not only is that the exact opposite order those searches should have been made with*, that’s an excellent way to both self-incriminate and demonstrate that she was fully aware that what she was doing was illegal.

*Any sane answer to “how do I hide my search history” is “you can’t, and especially not from law enforcement,” which should have been enough of an answer to stop and think about what you’re doing.

Narcissists like Trump are incapable of realizing they made a mistake. If the planet combusted next year, he would just blame China while playing golf in an underground bunker and patting himself on the back.

No one ever said that

My experiences talking to Trump supporters begs to differ. Among the other unrealistic beliefs held by some of them, Trump is also supposed to bring peace to Ukraine and “make Americal healthy again.”

This is no worse than the Biden policy that Harris promised to continue.

I disagree. The ICC has been mostly useless in going after Netanyahu by choice so far. An economic superpower threating to impose sanctions and labeling them as a terrorist organization to “force the court to withdraw the arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant” isn’t just supporting them, but also actively interfering in any international attempt to hold them accountable for their actions.

Those actions are not those of someone trying to toe the line between balancing relations and public perception, but those of someone condoning and wholeheartedly supporting the Israeli government’s actions and goals.

So… What was that about Trump bringing peace to Palestine, again?

yq can do both JSON and YAML :)

Oh, it’s absolutely going to be written in Java. Storing data with Oracle DB. And running on Solaris.

Considering how accurate that is, the /s isn’t even necessary.

that’s more of a Blu-Ray DRM problem

Fixed that for you, and fuck DRM.

That’s easier said than done when it’s a lead actor refusing to work during filming. They’ll be breaching a contract, sure, but replacing them is going to waste money and time in recasting, rescheduling, refilming, etc.

Would they actually do it, knowing they’re in for a multimillion dollar lawsuit? Probably. The Cult of Scientology practices excommunication, and it’s a strong motivator for indoctrinees.

Not SAG, just the cultists. There’s enough of them in prominent roles that it would cause financial damage (including to themselves), delays, and problems.

Considering scientology has their tendrils in a fair bit of Hollywood, that might actually backfire on government coffers. If they demand their members strike, the film industry is going to be in for pain.

Boomers are living in a fucking dream

Meanwhile, everyone else is living in the nightmare they created.

Good point.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Trump trying to tighten H1-B visas in his first term to make it harder to import foreign workers?

“This is Trump’s America now”

Last I checked, Biden is still the acting president for another week and a half. Egan is both a bigot and a fucking dumbass.
