there are few applications where random bullshit is actually beneficial.

Could make more convincing NPCs in MMO games. Irrelevant to the larger convo, but this popped in my head when I read your reply lol.

But you could do some media serving. Take back your life from both Google AND all 263 streaming services all at once! You could even self-host a Lemmy or Mastodon instance and take back control from social media giants while you’re at it! Add in NextCloud and self-hosted Bitwarden, and idk what cloud service you could realistically need at that point, and it’s all yours!

Just something to think about, comes highly recommended from me. $4-500 startup cost is like 2-3 times what my broke ass is comfortable with, but I have not regretted my purchases for even 1 single day.

NAS + VPN will get you personal cloud storage under your own control. Set up the NAS, configure the firewall to only allow connections from your home network, VPN, and Docker network while blocking everything else, put your files on it, connect back to your home network via VPN to securely access your files from anywhere on earth. Primo security and privacy, and all of this can be done on the NAS itself.

I use a Synology DS220+, which costs like $300ish. Pick up a couple 10TB hard drives and an 8GB stick of SO-DIMM (laptop) RAM for $20 and you have an entire media server + piracy box + cloud storage + VPN + pihole + DNS + anything your little heart can configure in a form factor roughly the size of a Gamecube

I was gonna say just don’t fucking go to that shithole Dubai, but she wasn’t, she was on a layover lol. Insane. Poor kid, man.

I saw KKK epithets, a swastika, and the N-word all over the bathroom. It was so gross and racist I don’t want to discuss it. It would say ‘kill black people,’ ‘kill N-words,’ ‘hang black people,’ ‘hang N-words.’

When I was in high school some kids did exactly this in the bathrooms, targeting a specific black administrator. There was a whole thing about it one year, and I’m from a very progressive part of the USA so you wouldn’t really think it would happen, but it did. I’d guess 2009 or so, not long ago enough.

Now there’s an argument to be made that those were just kids, not adults, to which I would counter with: those same kids grew up into adult bodies, but some percentage of them didn’t grow into adult minds.

If you doubt this story happened, then I doubt you went to American public schools lmao.

We interrupt tonights edition of “The Opinions of Suburban White Kids” to bring you this breaking news story: shit-faced children of shit-faced billionaires continue shit-facing well into adulthood, a recent study finds. I’m going to now pass this over to Chad Handsome, who is currently live at a Little Caesars pizzeria downtown grabbing lunch, with more on this SHOCKING discovery. Chad?

Sure you can, do whatever you want, but you’d be a supreme dipshit if you tried to equate them

cut non-defense discretionary spending to levels that existed before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Violent, bloodthirsty war perverts. There’s always plenty of money for war, and jack shit for aid to the mother fuckers who actually live here. Fuck each and every republican politician and voter on a personal, individual level. Disgusting sub-human demons incapable of human empathy. Not devoid of empathy, incapable of it, as in too fucking stupid to figure it out.

“It feels like Festivus, the airing of the grievances, in there,” added freshman moderate Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y. “Folks are expressing what their constituents need, what they require,”

Which constituents? Your voter base, or the military defense contractors that pay you to say a bunch of fuck-shit in public?

I’m pretty sure Nintendo is twice as old a Microsoft, and not exactly irrelevant in the space. No chance they sell out to Microsoft, just zero chance. Valve is privately owned I think and invented printing money off 10+ year-old games, I doubt they’d sell out to MS either.

C’mon Newsom, don’t fuck this up.

Lol, they’ll do anything to fight mental health issues besides give workers more money and time off so they can actually live dignified lives. Anecdotally, self-medicating with MDMA has helped me immensely, but it’s not a magic cure-all. Success with it requires deep introspection and behavior modification when you’re OFF the drug. MDMA therapy can ease trauma on an individual basis, but if the material conditions that allowed that trauma to occur in the first place are not addressed, then you’ll fall right back into the same negative thought patterns. A lot of the time, people flock to substances like MDMA to “cure” their depression, never address the material conditions actually causing their depression, and end up just abusing the substance believing regularly down-regulating their serotonin receptors is going to somehow lead to long-term success and not a deeper darker hole to dig yourself out of.

That picture looks like it was drawn by the guy who does Dance Gavin Dance’s album covers

Gnome for desktop, sway with waybar for laptop

If you don’t mind homophobia, then use whatever Chromium-based crypto-wallet bloatware browser you want, dork. Nobody is telling you how to make your own decisions.

Elon Musks’ favorite thing on earth is tweeting dumb shit to his mob of ass-kissers, I doubt he trashed Twitter on purpose. I think he really is just an extremely rich hair-brained dumbass.

I use Tusky, and I like it. It’s on F-Droid too

Like, either there’s fucking millions upon millions of pedos out there, or they have the financial backing of a giant corporation and/or government.

I’m pretty sure it’s both, + the backing of the catholic church

Linus is probably regretting the hell out of not taking that $100 million deal right about now. What a mess!
