I think it might have exploded if I hit “undo”

If it’s Microsoft telling us that then why does the computer look like an iMac?

Adobe basically invented the SaaS model. It’s not really practical to bootleg most Adobe products anymore either so most people break down and just pay the million dollar a year subscription fee so they can keep using it.

Communism is incompatible with private property or classes which is why no matter how many states write “communism” on the tin, what they actually put in it is just fascist enforced state capitalism.

China is not more communist or even socialist than the USA. A strong ruling class loves fascism and hates socialism. They are actively hostile to communism.

China is state capitalism anyway. There isn’t much Communist about them. The “party” is their 1% permanent ruling class.

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.

Not getting abused by Sony and it’s ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.

I’m curious where you are that a business line doesn’t cost more than a residential one because in my area it’s three times as much. I am fortunate enough that I get symmetrical gigabit for $90 a month and although they don’t promise static IP my IP has not changed in a while.

If I wanted to get a real static IP I would have to upgrade to a business line It would cost $280 a month.

The series has a very satisfying conclusion.

It’s one of the coolest fucking things we watched this last year.

My hourly rate for tutoring is actually about 50% higher than my hourly rate for on call support which is about 100% higher than my hourly rate for work.

I’m trying to afford groceries here, It’s not 90 days payable It’s pay-per-play. I’m tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss’s favorite child can’t decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.

How dare they fight back. That’s such an antagonistic thing to do. Don’t they know they’re not allowed to defend themselves.

It reminds me of my own father knocking down the bathroom door and then saying, “Put your hands down. I consider that threatening.”

Before the movie Zoolander came out my brother called my general aesthetic “hobo chic”.

After the movie came out, my sister asked if I was going to change it up now that I was fashionable…

If I had the money to change it up I think I probably already would have bought at least new shoes by now.

Am the grammar an spelling part of joke?

You can vote for The guy who says Tut Tut to the genocidal madman or the guy that says, “finish the job”.

There are also other issues at play. They are both a vote for genocide but one of them would like to bring that here there and everywhere!

The luddites were a labor movement. They fought for the rights of skilled workers to make a living.

Somehow you have fallen for the myth that machines make art.

I put it on a lot of things sweet and savory alike. It goes with the rosemary, pepper, salt and coriander when I roast potatoes. It also goes into snickerdoodles or a half dozen different kinds of cake. It also makes a really good additive to soap if you make your own soap.

It’s such an underappreciated spice, at least in the US where nobody seems to know what’s going on despite enjoying the food.

The only time people don’t question what the flavor is, is when I make Indian food.

Some of the largest protests the world and specifically America had ever seen took place during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars drawing incredible numbers of people all across the country to protest. Our government got violent putting down a lot of those protests and The News largely just didn’t report it.

It’s just harder to hide shit now, but a lot of people seem to discount how much power the TV had over what people thought was going on outside.

I wonder if they have a choir, The Hawaii Mormon school music project would be an interesting alternative to the haunting Langley School music Project

I also like what I call the boomer addendum to hanlons razor, “never excuse to incompetence what results in profit” or put another way, “profit is never an accident”.

I don’t believe that the state has the right to make examples out of people, unless those people took an oath to the state and used that power to abuse people. Then, the state is obligated to do it.

Example making is a confession of impotence. It’s a way of highlighting the fact that you have up until now failed to do what you are supposed to be doing and would like to draw attention to a specific incident where you actually follow through on your responsibilities.

To put it another way, I think you must make examples out of people who abuse power you give them because it’s your fault and theirs that this happened. So they have earned being made into an example and you are obligated to make one. You must confess your impotence if you are in power.

Anything less than that is cowardice and corruption.

If you have a problem with the way that police are treated in prison then you have a problem with the way that prisons let people get treated. Under no circumstances should a police officer get special treatment at any step along the way unless that’s to make it harsher and more punitive.
