  • Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

    Jump

  • Didn’t this happen with an iPhone a few years back? FBI couldn’t get into a suspect’s phone, Apple stood firm publicly, but then somehow the FBI got in anyway? Maybe I’m misremembering.

  • There was a mostly unremarkable slasher called Thanksgiving that came out a year or so ago and the only thing I recall really enjoying about it was the slasher opting to make sure the cat was taken care of after slaughtering their owners.

  • Dropkick Murphys' Unveil Anti-ICE Song: "Too Scared to Join the Military, Too Dumb to Be a Cop"

  • I recently learned there was a Trump-supporting bar near me with one of those TouchTune jukeboxes you can control remotely. Me and some other people started commandeering it with requests, but sadly a lot of picks were not available— namely Nazi Punks Fuck Off.

    If this could make its way into the TouchTunes library, I would be soooooo happy.

  • GOP Votes Down Pressley's Motion to Investigate Minneapolis ICE Shootings

    Jump

  • Republicans are all brainwashed cultists or psychopaths and it’s rulings like this that prove it; not one votes for it? There’s no reason for that other than the descriptors I used.

    Anyone proudly identifying as Republican deserves scrutiny and sideeye. They have no place in leadership.

  • I opted out of as many ad trackers as I could ~10 years ago and took every precaution I could.

    ...it resulted in-- and I shit you not-- really embarrassing-looking ads with words written in capital red letters that read something like "HUGE DISCOUNTS ON HORSE SEMEN BY THE GALLON!" complete with pictures of creamy liquid.

    I searched as best I could to make sure I didn't have a virus or something, and I found some user with the same query as myself; it was a legitimate advertisement from their bottom-of-the-barrel advertisers who-- I guess?-- didn't pay to target users and had just put in the bare minimum money for ads.

    It was so horrible of an experience I stopped the charade and let them learn about me again-- which I can't help but think was part of the plan.

  • What the 3.5% Rule Tells Us About Protest Success

    Jump

  • Yeah what’s the metric for success in protesting a cause so embedded in the roots?

  • Photosynthesis

    Jump

  • Yeah but if be gets overcharged it goes into sleep mode.

  • Anker recalls over a million power banks due to fire and burn hazards

    Jump

  • Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

    …I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

  • I assure you I only found humor in people personifying a person into “Amber Lamps,” I did not recognize I was laughing alongside others who were laughing for racist reasons centered around poking fun of urban phonetics.

    …ok so for this one I was laughing at him thinking he confidently could break his cuffs and people turning it into songs and adjacent memes, I didn’t think at the time about the power dynamics and systemic racism surrounding the incident at the time.

    …ok so for this one, um, so that’s MS paint, a chainsaw, and a banned website… yes, ok you know what? I’ll just uh, I’ll see myself out.

  • No pets

    Jump

  • I wish I didn’t have an easier time empathizing with animals than I did people; rats are so friggin’ cute

    Hell if I watch an ant long enough I’ll find them cute too. Wiping dirt off their little antennae 🥺

    I’m probably gonna die getting bit by a rabid raccoon as I try to pet them.

  • As much as I enjoyed Idiocracy when it came out, I wish its proposed answer/crux of the issue wasn’t “smart people should have kids” and instead focused on educating the ones that are already here/brought into this world.

  • Ironically I indeed have come around to eating them as a snack, which I never would’ve considered at the time.

    (I was more about whatever high sodium crap triggered the dopamine at the convenience store nearby: chips, Chex mix, corn nuts, etc.)
