To be fair, Justin is a prodigy at convincingly blowing hot air. It’s an essential skill for any politician, and he’s the best at it by far.

Last month I was doing some normal computer maintenance, and when I had gotten everything set up I found the computer wouldnt turn on. Took me a full week to diagnose the problem: it wasn’t plugged into the wall.

As a man who really loves teaching children and helping them solve their own problems, handing them a world full of problems is right up my alley

Whats the “if you know you know”?

You know how Apple has their own charger, their own messaging app, and some other stuff just so that they are different? Because fuck the rest of us, I guess? That’s bluesky, relative to fedi space.

God I wish Harris was a radical Marxist

Just change your last name to Et Al.

Actually, there was a big culture in rural areas to just fuck with cops for fun, and the best way to avoid being arrested is to be faster than the cops.

Yes. Its part of the penalty system. If the batter fails to hit a ball that they could have hit, they get a strike, and they get three strikes before they have to go to the back of the line and let the next batter swing: if 3 batters strike out, the teams switch. If the pitcher throws so poorly that the batter would not have been able to hit the ball without lunging for it, the pitcher gets a “ball”. Four balls means the batter walks to first base (and everyone else walks to the next base). Unlike batting, pitchers do not rotate when they accumulate three balls, because pitching is so physically demanding that switching them out is already a regular process.

Viossa community ahh post

I didn’t know that until I read this comment

There’s actually a crapton of people out there, it’s just that there isn’t an alogarithm delivering their toots to you. You actually have to go out there and stuff people into your followers until Lists become useful. Which isn’t for everyone tbh

No, quite the opposite

Found this out when I was 18. I had some tightly-held flashbulb memories that I had built my entire self concept around. All of them were either so mutated as to have no reference to reality, or were provably completely fabricated. Suffice it to say I did not take this realization well. Did not help that I learned this three days after I had proven to myself that my entire belief system was 100% running on the placebo effect. I could have dealt with each of these fine if I had been able to deal with them individually, but getting hit with both of them like a hook-uppercut combo just destroyed me for six months. I suppose this is to be expected from having your identity scientifically disproven; I count myself lucky to have recovered with only a crippling fear of advertisements that I was able to work through in a mere four years.

Just to be clear, I’m fine now. This is all a distant memory, but it is to me where my current life began.

Pretty sure its doctrine that Jesus knew it was the last supper

No

True. That said, another comment has claimed that some smart TVs seek out open wifi and use that. Not a big problem in my area though.

My current TV is an old one I got from a friend of my dad when he got a bigger one. It’s a bit glitchy, but it’s not smart, and that’s what matters.

Smart TVs can also scan the input from their hdmi ports and relay that to advertisers.
