‘Mass deportations would disrupt the food chain’: Californians warn of ripple effect of Trump threat
  • See, they're still just barely scared enough of the populace that they feel the need for a cover story. They worry that if they just exorbitantly raise prices without a "valid enough" reason, the working class will actually turn against them. But enough of the working class still has some faith in capitalism for them to believe the corpos when they throw up their hands performatively and say "there's nothing we can do! It's the market forces!", so they keep the cover story to placate the masses and prevent us from doing too much research on how to build guillotines.

    Don't worry, we're only a few years away from the point at which they stop caring about the facade!

  • Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements from Lifetime down to just three years
  • A perpetual license doesn't mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it's a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don't get any updates at all, and I can't run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that's absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I'm fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

  • A school district in Pennsylvania approved nearly $9,000 ‘to cut windows into the ‘gender-identity’ student bathrooms so passerby can look inside’
  • Longer than that, even! Circa 2003/04 my 14 year old ass was getting chewed out by shitty Karens because they couldn't fathom the idea of a young teen girl sporting a pixie cut and wearing baggy metal tees, skate jeans and vans. I've actually resorted - more than once - to showing my used menstrual products as proof. Well, more as a way to harass them back, but. You know.

    Joke's on me, though, I guess, since I'm actually genderfluid lol.

  • Anon is straight
  • Does it matter why? Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy for everyone, regardless of whether you "understand" or or not. If he wants to be a more feminized masc, is it hurting you?

  • Famous AI "Artist" Says He's Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work
  • Yeah, I spend hours digitally sculpting parts sometimes, and then once it's printed I spend hours filling and sanding the build lines and painting. Having also built parts by hand, they're equally skilled work in different ways. Digital sculpting is just a lot less messy which means it's much easier for me to do at home, lol. Do not miss the days of hand-sculpting foam and making silicone molds and fiberglass parts.

  • Elon's Folly
  • Ok, I did actually miss that line about no charitable donations.

    But I'm going to be annoying and argue that because of the gratification that funding artists would give me, it is actually a fully selfish endeavor and as such fulfills the requirements ;)

  • Elon's Folly
  • I could do it easy peasy

    It's called supporting the arts. I'd just set up artist funds all over the country so that artists - visual artists, musical artists, theatrical artists, circus artists, writers, you name it - could learn, create, and share their work without struggling to get by.

    But then, I'm a human and not a capitalist lizard masquerading as human, so art actually means something to me.

  • Share your stories
  • This was the one. Every once in a while my brain just says "hey, remember that fucked up story where the kids had a smart room that became whatever they wanted and it spoiled them to the point they murdered their parents with lions? Wasn't that fucked up? Let's think about how fucked up it was for a while!"

    It was 7th grade for me, but still, I can't believe we read that as kids.

  • Sales of recreational marijuana to begin in Ohio
    www.wkyc.com Sales of recreational marijuana to begin in Ohio: How much can you buy? What are the rules?

    Under the law, an individual must be at least 21 years old to purchase, possess, grow or use non-medical cannabis.

    Sales of recreational marijuana to begin in Ohio: How much can you buy? What are the rules?

    COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sales of recreational marijuana will begin this week in Ohio as the state’s Division of Cannabis Control issues the first dual-use dispensary certificates of operation on Tuesday.

    This comes nine months after Ohio voters approved Issue 2 back in November to “to legalize the possession and use of marijuana by individuals aged 21 and over.”

    Loveable idiots

    I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. One of each is smart, and one of each is a total doofus moron. These are the two morons posing together. I love them despite how dumb they are :)
