Solid State by Matt Fraction

Not arguing, just curious: what makes chroot insecure? I’ve used it for installing Gentoo, but I don’t really understand what it’s doing under the hood.

Yeah, I just installed Debian in Termux last night. I’ve got a Samsung phone with a locked down bootloader, so it’s the best I can do.

Don’t forget the American robber barons!

Man, that gorilla needs to work on his stance. He’s swinging like an schoolgirl.

Damn, and they even pathologized it. I guess some things never change.

I just imagine the most emaciated wastelander actively bleeding out and barely limping along but stopping to just, like, take in the awe of the moment, man.

My wife was a Christian when we started dating, but her opinions on LGBTQ+ issues made her start questioning her faith which led her to leave the faith altogether by the time we were married.

I’ve amended my comment to make it more clear. I didn’t mean to imply the app sends your data to third parties, only that the company who owns it profits off of third party information brokering. Where that information comes from is beside the point in my opinion.

PSA: Nova Launcher’s owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it’s been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

Yeah, that’s just the stance you take when shooting from a standing position in competition. It’s really awkward at first, but it does improve the stability of your aim significantly.

Well, the others are using pistols, while he’s using a rifle.

I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

I wish I could’ve enjoyed some hallucinogens before my memory went to shit. I’m just hoping it’s my ADHD and not early onset dementia. 🙃

I naively applied to only one university, a private institution that I was accepted into surprisingly enough. The downside being that it was absurdly expensive, and I only realized halfway through my first year there that my loan payments were going to be impossible to make. I did have a plan originally, but it was contingent on academic excellence that was probably unrealistic.

I’ve never been happier I dropped out of my CS classes

OMG I fucking died at Ace Attorney

The president of the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday declared that a new revolution is already underway in the U.S., appearing to warn Liberals that violence could erupt if they tried to stop it.

Kevin Roberts, whose uber-conservative think tank is behind the highly controversial “Project 2025” blueprint for a second Donald Trump presidency, made the comment during an appearance on Real America’s Voice. “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” Roberts said.

Heritage’s Project 2025 calls for a huge increase in presidential power as well as a transformation of the federal government, replacing existing staffers with an army of those loyal to Trump. Roberts has previously said he sees his organization’s role as “institutionalizing Trumpism.”

In his interview Tuesday, Roberts said that despite “all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win.” “We’re in the process of taking this country back,” he said. “No one in the audience should be despairing.”

He also opined that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidents immunity for official acts is “vital,” mentioning Alexander Hamilton’s view of the importance of a “vigorous executive.” Roberts then turned his attention to “the radical left.”

“The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning,” he said. “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Talk of bloodshed has been a disturbing seam running through conservative rhetoric during this election cycle. Trump sparked controversy in March predicting a “bloodbath” for the country if he didn’t win in November, later saying he was only referring to the auto industry. The Republican National Committee launched a “Biden Bloodbath” website the following month amid the unusually high interest in the word.

In April, Trump was also asked unambiguously if he thought there’d be political violence if he loses in November. “I think we’re going to win. And if we don’t win, you know, it depends,” Trump told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of an election.”

But they’re kind of self-aware, so I think it’s supposed to make them more off-putting.

Fun fact: Redbox is operated by Chicken Soup for the Soul. I almost got hired by them but they screwed me over after I had already resigned from my previous position.

For whole blood, I’ve only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I’m a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It’s honestly not worth it at all, but if you’re broke it’s easier than many other options. The place was full of the “undesirables” of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.
