  • Can't wait for We the People to bail out the banks again and lose our shirts along the way.

  • The right answer in normal times would probably be a class action, but the govt lawyer was saying they'd probably fight that, meaning it will get hung up for a long time in the courts almost certainly, meanwhile they can seemingly keep stomping on our collective rights. It was very frustrating to listen to.

  • I don't have an answer, but wanted to point out: a fake grassroots effort is called astroturfing (due to it being fake grass)

  • I was listening to some of this exchange on NPR earlier. What strikes me is that the justices apparently can't make a decision on the unconstitutionality of this stupid EO until a case makes it to them, when this case is obviously a part of the very same issue. I understand why, because without a check we'd be at severe risk of judicial overreach, but in this case, allowing SCOTUS to come out and say "Unconstitutional thing is unconstitutional" just seems like the normal and correct thing to do.

  • ...and at extreme cost. This is not very DOGE-aligned at all.

  • Remember the button they had to keep pressing in LOST? That.

  • Yeah, I'm not about to defend Samsung or their app distribution by any means, I just know they had the Plex app when I needed it.

    Thanks for the heads up on Roku though, I appreciate it!

  • Is that on an Onn TV? I might have to go check it out again. Thanks!

  • Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

    Edit: Yes, Samsung Tizen models can try and sideload an app, but that's not something the vast majority of people are ever going to even think about, let alone figure out how to accomplish.

    Edit 2: Well shiver me timbers, Jellyfin's on those Onn TV's. TIL.

  • She was hired for her looks

  • Learn the difference between a necessary risk and an unnecessary one, and whenever possible, decide with intent when to deploy the latter.

    Other than that, leave things better than you found them. That goes a long way.

  • Of course they did. This is fascism.

  • Tin soldiers and ICE is comin'

  • Its fine, I'm petty sure they were both implying that one could replace "despite" with "specifically because of" and it would sound just as believable given all this exile business going on

  • TIL... Thank you, kind stranger, for making me curious enough to look further

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu

    Researchers have determined that a fugu's tetrodotoxin comes from eating other animals infested with tetrodotoxin-laden bacteria, to which the fish develops insensitivity over time.[10] Whether tetrodotoxin is sequestered from or produced by symbiotic bacteria is still debated.[11] As such, efforts have been made in research and aquaculture to allow farmers to produce safe fugu. Farmers now produce poison-free fugu by keeping the fish away from the bacteria – see § Aquaculture below.[10]

  • They published a book describing what they were going to do. It was, like, a million times easier than effort Arthur Dent was expected to have put in to protect his house, and this was for our entire fucking country.

    It was free, online, in easily downloadable and ingestible form. People that read it were saying quite loudly that it was a Very Bad Thing, and got told they were overreacting or suffering from TDS.

    Anyone curious about what else to expect need only read P2025. They fucking told us. Avoiding this was so damn easy if more people would only pay attention. And we're doing away with our education system being of any future use, so that's another thing to look forward to.

    When a fascist runs for office, you don't vote them in. We failed so hard and the consequences haven't even caught up yet.

  • If you cared to share correct and accurate info, you would start by fixing the title of your post. But you've just stated above that you can't be bothered. That's fucked up, homie.
