Pew pew pew

I wish that I had caught this in time to reply with Woman 2 Woman by Urge Overkill

Everything Wordpress is heavily infested with that. However you don’t have to let it impact you – it kind of looks to me like they pressure commercial vendors to put their stuff under the GPL if they’re wanting to offer a free version, so there’s a robust ecosystem of actually-FOSS tooling for it. My experience has been that it’s always worked pretty well in practice; you just have to keep your nope-I’m-not-paying-for-your-paid-version goggles firmly affixed. (Also, side note, GPT does an excellent job of writing little functions.php snippets for you to enable particular custom functionality for your Wordpress install when you need it.)

Wordpress 1,000% (probably coupled with WooCommerce but there are probably some other options)

I honestly don’t even know off the top of my head why you would use anything else (aside from some vague elitism connected to the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it) – it combines FOSS + easy + powerful + popular. You will have to tiptoe around some amount of crapware in order to keep it pure OSS though.

Not a map, but things I’ve seen on the roads in Boston:

• Left turn only from left lane, straight or left from 2nd lane, straight or left from 3rd lane
• Green light and perpendicular traffic coming to me on the cross street, also going, because they also have a green light
• Two lanes, surprise! Lane markers go away it’s one lane, not defined who yields, you guys can work it out

“You want my honest opinion? I don’t think there’s no solution.”

For some reason the way he said it hit me really hard.

Do we upvote because it’s nuts or downvote because it’s nuts

Help, I don’t know what to do

Yeah, but is there something rigged-up about it? Aside from the entire unsafe thing and him eating while he’s looming.

What am I looking at here?

Not only that, but:

Initially, three U.S. servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and rescue hiding civilians were shunned, and even denounced as traitors by several U.S. congressmen, including Mendel Rivers (D–SC), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

What’s in Wikipedia doesn’t match my memory; what I thought had happened was that Thompson did more than “try to halt.” He landed his helicopter between US troops and a group of obviously harmless villagers and told his men to shoot the Americans if they tried to continue murdering the villagers.

He and the other soldiers who stopped the massacre and reported what had happened were viewed by most Americans as traitors at the time, and for quite a while after.

Absolutely top notch. All the songs I wanted to comment that you should add are already in it. 😀

Microwaving plastic containers is one of those things that US people collectively decide to pretend is safe, but it’s clearly not.

“I continue to adhere to my view that we should reconsider the actual-malice standard,” Thomas wrote,” referencing his previous opinion in Coral Ridge Ministries Media, Inc. v. Southern Poverty Law Center. “New York Times and the Court’s decisions extending it were policy-driven decisions masquerading as constitutional law,” he added, “the actual-malice standard comes at a heavy cost, allowing media organizations and interest groups ‘to cast false aspersions on public figures with near impunity.’”

Where is John Oliver to cast some false aspersions on Clarence Thomas just to demonstrate that it’s legal to do so?

(Background is that John Oliver did a story about a crooked coal-mine owner, the guy sued the show, and after HBO won the lawsuit Oliver did a whole show emphasizing how they were allowed to insult whoever they wanted to because this is America.)

Not a financial hardship; I talked about that in some other message. I meant a physical hardship. Dude is basically a bear. I’m sure sweats are more comfortable for him unless he invests part-time-job level energy into finding good suits.

As much as I love Fetterman, I’m with the Republicans on this one. It’s the same reason you can’t curse in court, you have to stand up at the appropriate times and outwardly agree to show seriousness for the proceedings, etc: We’re here for a super important reason. Whole people’s lives will be changed based on what we do here. Take it seriously or GTFO.

I get that Fetterman is huge and wearing a nice suit every day would genuinely be a hardship for him, but there has to be some kind of solution that doesn’t step us one step closer to fistfights and drunk congresspeople on the floor. I don’t think MTG should be able to yell and be generally awful, I think Boebert should get in some sort of trouble that a private citizen wouldn’t get in for being publicly a drunken tramp, and I think everyone in congress should still have to wear suits. It’s important, take it seriously.

Honestly, I get it. I’m in the US, which means my government does terrible things the world over, and I’d probably have a similar reaction if someone blew out the windows of my home with a drone strike. And I have a lot more ability to influence my government than ordinary Russian citizens do.

I think the Ukrainians are 100% within their rights to fight the war that they didn’t start, and that includes blowing up targets in Moscow. But, from the POV of the ordinary people in Moscow just living, I get it.

It’s like one of those Ernest Hemingway one-sentence stories, that all by itself tells you 100% of what you need to know.

The owner of a meat business in western Michigan was ordered to pay $1,143

“Two months later, we wouldn’t even be here,” the judge said, noting that the teen soon would have turned 18 years old.

“Ionia County is a farming county, and I know a lot of people in this county view children working, sometimes around dangerous machinery, as part of growing up,” [the judge] said.

He said the boy was warned to never put his hand inside the grinder.

What the FUCK

You’re not going to want to hear this, but this logic (i.e. “But MY side is the RIGHT one, so it’s different”) is exactly why the right wing thinks Trump shouldn’t go to prison and it’s okay when they cheat in elections.

I do agree with you that the left wing is the right side of history. That doesn’t mean someone who’s on the other side suddenly shouldn’t be an executive of anything.
