"Billie Eilish: โ€œI think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn. I started watching porn when I was 11. I think it really destroyed my brain.

I would watch abusive BDSM. It got to the point where I couldnโ€™t watch anything unless it was violent. The first few times I had sex I was not saying no to things that were not good.

Iโ€™m so angry that porn is so loved.โ€

The regular influenza already kills a lot of people

There was no evidence of a Novel Corona Virus known as Covid 19 discovered in the year 2019

No isolated sample was found

If it was found in a later year then it is not 2019

Maybe if it struck near the end of 2019 the virus that struck in 2019 could be found in 2020 but it is too many years later

COVID 19 never existed

I will post a link in the next comment

We homeschool and we uninstalled the browser on the electronic devices he has access too, so exposure to that sort is reduced.

Running local dns is great.... Until they just set it to 8.8.8.8.....

We do have some old smart phones we let them use from time to time, but we disabled the play store and browser, and its mainly used for xmpp client to send pictures on the LAN.

I'll need to be proactive, because those are all defensive things, but talking to him and getting him to understand how to direct that energy, that's going to be more important.

I only know what it was like for me as a teenager, and when it comes to circumventing parental controls..... Dude lets just say, being addicted, I was highly motivated.

Hope he never has these problems though fr.

Exactly this. There was a recent article (in The New Yorker?*) arguing that, in distinction to the โ€œspace lasersโ€ branch of the Right, someone like RFK does debate in something of a reasonable or even scientific style, because he does refer to studies, evaluations, and research.

But in reality it's all superficial half-truths. A prime example being pointers to the total number of self-reported adverse effects of Covid vaccines, for example, and claiming those are โ€œthe most for any drug everโ€. But without understanding that the severity measure, for instance, is relative to each type of symptom, so that, for instance, you might have entries for โ€œsevere abdominal discomfortโ€. Obviously it is NOT in fact โ€œscientific" in any way to juxtapose that kind of number with the risk of an equally (terminology-wise) โ€œsevereโ€ case of the actual disease, where โ€œsevere" means you ended up in the ICU, just because both are statistics.

Point being: there is nothing scientific to merely pointing to studies and statistics without understanding what they actually mean and say.

Reminder that Dodge filed a lawsuit over Ford Motor Company because Henry Ford wanted to operate FoMoCo in the interest of the employees rather than the shareholders. Ford wanted to pay employees more, offer better benefits, and even hire more employees with profits made by the company.

FORD LOST THE SUIT. Michigan Supreme Court said Ford shall not be a "charity company" and was for profit only. Ford was required to pay a dividend of 19 MILLION dollars.

It MIGHT not be a bad idea, if they handled it right. Ford is too old and doesn't really act like Jones anymore--he seems tired of the role--and it would be good to see someone excited to play the character but Lucasfilm has not instilled confidence ever since Disney bought them.

I'd watch the hell out of that. Remember her in the Bond movie?

@tj

Back in her prime, this might actually work if, say, she was a competing archaeologist and they both were hunting something critically rare and important. THAT I would watch the fuck out of. She was GREAT at action roles. ...but even back then... not as a reboot of Indiana Jones himself. I fucking hate recasting/rebooting roles with someone who doesn't look and act like the original role (with very rare exceptions).

I know itโ€™s super popular for everyone to love Grace Jones and her eccentricities but she is/was full herself more than anyone I have ever seen. She was a character though and pretty compelling to witness. But I honestly wouldnโ€™t mind never ever seeing her again unless she was playing someone nuts.

No matter what, they will try everything to put a woman in the role which totally ruins the franchise, IMO. It would be like casting Grace Jones to be the next James Bond. Thatโ€™s an interesting concept and maybe sheโ€™s the only person I can think of that would work as a convincing female James Bond but it would make it totally different. I would much rather they do something like that with Le Femme Nikita.

Iโ€™m pretty sick of the shoe horning female roles into everything.

in reply to Dan Ramos ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Yeah, she could be his frenemy. She could play both sides convincingly.

I don't mind a reboot, as long as they don't do the same stories and try to have the same character. Like how James Bond is a vague idea and each actor portrayed him differently.

As a reminder, here's how James Bond started:

An acquaintance here in the Bay shared a sad story of this political moment: He needs to do some light home repairs but, as an undocumented DACA recipient, he's too afraid to go to Home Depot to get the necessary material. He's a committed young man. Motivated, hard working, very professional, by all accounts a pillar of his community. But trivial acts have have become risky, anxiety-producing affairs. Heartbreaking.

When "both-sides" folk try to demonstrate the notion of โ€œwhat may be legitimate criticism of Israel being expressed in exaggerated and therefore antisemitic termsโ€, they point to things like calling Israel โ€œevilโ€ (as opposed to "in violation of international lawโ€ etc).

But literally taking away food from starving babies โ‹…isโ‹… evil, in absolutely every sense of the word. It's the kind of behaviour the word evil was invented for.

Now, as an Israel-apologist you can attempt to claim the episode didn't happen, or that it was an overzealous individual, not policy (you'd fail, because it โ‹…didโ‹… happen and because the individual in question was merely โ‹…applyingโ‹… official policy, which bans the bulk import of baby formula by truck, to private baggage).

But to go with โ€œActually, taking food from starving babies in order to make their parents helplessly watch them die is NOT โ€˜evilโ€™ when Israel does it โ€” and it's antisemitic to claim it is!โ€... not only are you confirming that you consider Palestinians to be subhuman, but you are dehumanising โ‹…yourselfโ‹…, and everyone watching can see that you yourself, you really are evil too.

Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino population.

I'm not sure many people recognize we're already a few lines into the "first they came for the..." poem. But we are.

Re this from @jenniferplusplus: YES.

My first job out of college, I successfully built several high-profile executive darling software projects. I was celebrated for it (someone once use the phrase โ€œwhite knight,โ€ yikes), which was heady for a 20-something fresh out of college.

Despite that, I donโ€™t think a single one of those projects actually mattered diddly to the company in the long term.

I think I did only two things that really mattered to that org in the long term:

1. Stopped them from buying a really dubious CMS / web app engine that would have cost the org (a nonprofit) millions it didnโ€™t have to be vendor-locked into a dead-end platform that would have set their site back years.

2. Selected a new developer hire who was far more dependable and mature than I was, and became their lynchpin. She wrote tons of software that did actually matter, and stayed with them for years.

Whatever dev skills I had turned out to be good for (1) saying โ€œstop, donโ€™tโ€ and (2) recognizing an excellent person in a job interview. Note that neither involved the code I wrote.
