I seem to remember he took a poster off the wall to keep as a souvenir, so they killed him. Don’t touch the posters, people.

No one is immune to a concerted propaganda campaign. American propaganda has just been a bit more extreme than most, for a bit longer.

The investment in demonizing scapegoat groups does seem to pay off for the far right. It helps them sell their own ideology as a solution for people’s woes, if they can convince people their problems are caused by the designated scapegoats. It effectively distracts people from the plunder of their lives by rich kleptocrats, while filling them with the kind of misdirected hatred that fascism thrives on.

I think the intel was wrong

The intel said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. The strikes happened because Trump decided to ignore the intel in favor of the random imaginings in his head, and no doubt Netanyahu encouraged him.

“… they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

He always was a master of projection.

It has been working for them for decades. Why stop now?

Hook up a couple servers to some dams.

As someone who works in IT, I love the optimism of making it sound this simple. Things that I expect to take 10 minutes can end up taking weeks, because there’s always a surprising answer to “How complicated could it be?”

I’ll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.

Enjoy the uncontrolled wildfires. There’s no escaping the damaging effects of capitalism.

A big step is to realize that you’re just falling for marketing. Tech media, including music and photography tech, is one big advertisement and the industry serves itself, not you.

Probably because that one went up a bit and looks more glamorous than a big pile of wreckage on the ground.

So the non-private pooing is actually continuous with American moral puritanism. That makes sense.

All you need to know is that toilet stalls in the USA (and Canada) have huge gaps around the doors, unlike other countries. You have to carefully position your head so you’re not making accidental eye contact with people outside, and somehow relax knowing everyone can see you taking a shit.

As a man, can I just say that I have never enjoyed peeing shoulder to shoulder with other men.

I don’t see where he admits what the headline claims.

I don’t see where in the article he “admits” what the headline claims.

Rust’s compiler is more picky than most, but is really impressive in how it explains the errors and advises on how to fix them. It’s a really good feature of Rust.

An Acorn Atom with 2KB of RAM because 12KB was too expensive. Good little computer, and the journey from the tiny Acorn Computers company to today’s ARM processors is a pretty amazing one.

It usually works, but it takes a few minutes to reprocess the files if your project or solution is big.
