Honestly? If it means more ICE off the streets harassing decent people and stuck doing boring-ass airport security, then let's go. There are only so many ICE guys to go around. It's not the infinite respawn that he seems to think it is.
How many of the accounts that followed this one were actually bot/“AI” accounts designed to do nothing but help boost shit like this to a place where the press reports on it?
Is the same sort of poll cited in stories yesterday that said 71% of Americans are in favor of the SAVE act? A poll that was actually conducted by a right-wing group but published by Harvard (or something like that)
When I was nearing the end of grad school, they asked us to submit any degrees we'd earned to be listed next to our names in the graduation ceremony program. I "left high school early" so I have a GED (and am proud of it). So I listed my degrees as GED, BA.
A few days later the person putting together the programs finds me in the refectory, pulls me aside and quietly asks me "um, GED? Is... is that high school?"
"Sort of," I reply.
"Uh, yeah... we don't usually put those in there..."
Still have a GED sharing wall space with my Master's either way. Win.
I started out with Ubuntu a little over a year ago. Then came an update that removed the ability to change the brightness of my desktop's monitor. Felt like an Apple move, so I gave Mint another go. Have really enjoyed it (though I'm starting to eye CachyOS since Mint has seemingly decided to comply in advance with the CA age-verification law--haven't added anything yet, but say they will)
Yeah I'm not convinced that this site is accurate. According to this my blog pollutes more than facebook . com (I'm apparently as dirty as netflix . com) and is only slightly dirtier than newyorktimes . com... And images . google . com gets an A... I ain't buying it.
Makes me think of either the Fairphone or the Nothing Phone that originally advertised that it could be used as a desktop computer thanks to USB-C ports and I thought that was a brilliant notion. I really don't see why Apple couldn't just do the same. I mean, I can see why (DAT MONAY!) but it would be awesome for folks to have such flexibility with their devices.
Literally one of the oldest Christian positions about God is that God is not a dude. This should not be controversial. Folks like Saint Augustine of Hippo would agree wholeheartedly with the assertion that God has no gender binary. This is because if God has a gender that gender is "God."
I have a Hisense that I bought late last year and have never connected it to the internet (I stream everything through my PS5) and boyhowdy does that TV take every chance it gets to let me know I'm not connected lol
I believe Fatboy is referring to the fact that over half the "article" is just a bunch of embedded tweets reacting to what Trump posts on his social media site. There's not actual reporting going on.
One time I was flying to Atlanta from Richmond and there was some kind of weather issue. But they did not cancel the flight just delayed it... by like eight hours or something. Everyone was cancelling, but the desk told me that I was welcome to wait since the flight was not cancelled. I couldn't afford a hotel so I did that. I was the only person in the airport. I bought a book and watched everything shut down around me. I sat alone and watched the Zamboni thing come by to clean the floors. Eventually the guy who waves the glowing orange wands on the runway came in and told me that the flight was coming in, but that they might wind up cancelling it. Awhile later a random Frontier (I think it was Frontier at least) came to the desk and started booting up her computers. Apparently there was another guy who waited because he just showed up out of nowhere.
The attendant told me that the crew was based out of Atlanta and wanted to get back home, so the plane would be heading back and that we were the only two passengers. We were both upgraded to First Class. I could tell that the attendant was tired and hated that she had to stay at work until this flight arrived. So I stood at the gate and asked, stone-faced: "Are we boarding by zone?" She laughed HARD.
Wound up passing out before I even finished my complimentary cocktail and missed out on the First Class experience. Woke up as we began landing procedures to the other guy surround by attractive flight attendants having a great time.
