@freemo Well he said "with no drawbacks" so we know that eliminates the baseball bat to the printer fix from Office Space.

I'm still using old.reddit.com with the Reddit enhancement suite plug in which I can left mouse hold and drag images larger to see them.

@itnewsbot 1.8 million is nothing compared to the billions lost in the 2008-2009 stock market caused housing bubble crisis... and there has yet to be ANYONE held accountable for that, over 15 years later.

@QOTO Recognizing all your hard work. I'm sure it isn't easy running a large mastodon instance on what's probably a mostly thankless job. So, on that note... thank you. It is certainly appreciated.

Update: So we're going for a house that has said decorative fireplace. At least the realtor for the listing was honest and didn't try photoshopping in some fire.

Growing up, I my schools never made any kind of observance about day 100. My kids go to different schools and each school makes a big deal out of it now, and they're schools near where I used to attend.

A typical school year is 180 days, why did they start making a big deal out of 100 days? It's past the half point, which I think would be more of a milestone than some arbitrary number picked out because it happens to be the first third digit day.

The skin of your laundry pods dissolve in the washing machine, right?

They dissolve into microplastic.
And wastewater treatment systems have no way to filter that out so the microplastics go straight into streams and the ocean.

Just pour your laundry soap out of a box or bottle.

In her latest unhinged rant, Nikki Haley now says "Texas can secede if that's what it's voters want."

Okay, let's do the math on that.

If Texas secedes:
•Texas loses $68.2B in Federal aid
•GOP loses 2 US Senate seats, Dems lose 0
•GOP loses 27 US House seats, Dems lose 11
•Dems win permanent control of US House, US Senate, & White House

MAGAs never think these things through, do they? They don't care about the Constitution or national unity—only uninhibited power.

Vote GOP Out Permanently.

@bblaze@iceshrimp.social

If Republicans had no problem deploying NG troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, then they should have no problem mobilizing them for Federal use. The border is a Federal responsibility, not the state.

@dalias It's "we need whatever talking point best suits our preferred political party's narrative in order to criticize the other one."

Why are real estate listings allowed to photoshop in actively burning fires in the fireplace if it has been declared decorative and sealed/capped by the homeowner?

OH HELL YES!

Jon Stewart, who during his 16-year run as host of the Comedy Central program established it as an entertainment and cultural force, will return to host the show each week on Mondays starting February 12, Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios announced Wednesday.

@GottaLaff
Bastions of "free speech" he wants all he can get, but *constantly* denies it to reporters.

@GottaLaff
I'm sure Baldwin's lawyers will be asking to dismiss it due to the Constitution's double jeopardy clause. With that acquittal, I think the only hope for punishing him is through the civil courts. And that would only be monetary damages.

That awful feeling when you come home from visiting your young grandson and realise that you didn't give him his nose back before you left.

In 2020:
I ditched Facebook and really didn't feel the desire to replace it.

In 2023:
- I ditched Twitter for Mastodon/Threads/BlueSky.
- I ditched reddit for lemmee

I only keep my old accounts open to prevent impersonation scam, and not much else.

I regret nothing.

Just remember that even if you were just a drop in the ocean.

You are still the ocean.
