Every few years some people decide you can’t use certain words because they have become negative terms to some group. So they invent a new term for the same thing and as the years go by and more people use the new term, it gets the same negative association that the old one had. Then the cycle begins anew.

Sometimes it’s good - a lot of slurs that were ok for anyone to say when I was a kid are now socially unacceptable and that’s great. But sometimes the SJWs take it too far and I think this is one of those times. I don’t understand the reason for the push to call them “unhoused” but I’m willing to be educated.

Once you hit middle age and have seen this happen a few times you’ll usually just roll your eyes and carry on.

Aliens, man

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Are they even real?

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

I’ve got that Friday feeling.

I get it every day.

The government should never be allowed to put its own citizens to death. The government is not infallible. The government has put innocent people to death.

Before the revolution can happen.

Whoever you are, whatever your game or mental health issue is, it would seem people here have tired of your shenanigans.

You might have more luck back on Reddit.

If you cared about privacy you wouldn’t be using any Google products.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

You forgot about the journalists.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

You for got about atheists, government regulation of capital, taxes on the 1%, and every social service that they personally have never had to use.

Boston is the only city I absolutely refused to drive in when I had to go there for work.

Link doesn’t work

Edit: their server IP is on one of the DNS blocklists I subscribe to

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

DNS error, I tried without WiFi and it works so somebody must have reported their IP to a RDNSBL.

I'd rather go rant in a Gaza thread than post an opinion in here. People gettin' ripped apart every which way!

I remember this thing from the post Gulf War cleanup. It would put a house fire out in a second, and relocate the house to the next county over at the same time.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Good for them for not putting up with this crap. I have had many friends in the game development industry over the last 25 years and the stories I’ve heard are atrocious.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Because it makes the vehicle too long to park in the average garage or driveway.

If you don't have your browser set to delete all cookies you haven't made exceptions for, every time you close it, I don't know what to tell you. Except... "you should do that".

Harpy eagles can crush a human skull like a water balloon.

Has this ever happened?

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Yeah I have no doubt they are strong enough, many animals are. I was just wondering if that stat had a story behind it! Thanks.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Yeah. I have friends that won't even let their kids walk a quarter mile to school, in one of the safest communities in the entire state. It's insane. The media has put the fear of "but what if..." into so many people.

You've got better odds winning the lottery than what these people are afraid of. Be smart, be savvy, be aware of your surroundings and watch out for the oblivions as you go about your business. But there's no need to be afraid of everything around you.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

I have to be honest, I was surprised the delivery driver wasn't black. This idiot was just ready to kill someone, anyone. He's probably been looking out his front window, gun in hand, at every little noise for months or years.

And even if the kid was trying to steal an empty car, this guy would still go to prison if he killed him because no one's life or health was in danger. Stealing a car is not a capital offense.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Uhhhhh….. what’s in the “coke”?

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Oh I know, but if I came up and asked if you wanted a "coke" with air quotes, I'm sure you'd be a bit suspicious!

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

The US military likes 18 year old soldiers because most of them are impressionable, easily manipulated or indoctrinated, they don’t typically have dependents to worry about yet, they are cheap to pay, and their bodies can take far more abuse before giving out.

It has absolutely nothing to do with reaction time with weapons. That’s Hollywood bullshit. You’d be surprised how infrequently you can even see the people you’re fighting in modern warfare.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

You aren’t going to be able to do back of the napkin math on that one, it’s an incredibly complicated business.

There’s a reason most airlines have failed and many of the survivors have needed government bailouts. And the reason is not mismanagement across the board, although there’s plenty of that, too.

I mean, most people know that kicking a moving 2-3 ton metal object is going to hurt and probably not a good idea, but cops are special.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Yep, this is the one I came to see was posted. I watched it only knowing "something really wrong" was around the core of the movie, but nothing more. When you learn what's up... god damn. It's not the goriest or scariest or anything like that, but it is the one that will just make you go "what in the actual fuck" more than any movie I've ever seen.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Have the admins of lemmy.world ever given a reason for this decision?

I would very much like to see Meta kneecapped in the Fediverse. They are a blight on the world that needs to be dealt with.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Some people have to learn things the hard way.

And then there's these idiots.

Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam?

I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

There are Adult Swim games?!?! Off to search and see what’s out there…

Oat milk doesn’t have bird flu in it. Just sayin.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Maybe the brand you've tried? I switched from dairy milk to oat milk a couple years ago after trying most of the other plant milks. I find it to be almost a perfect match to dairy milk in cereal and coffee. I don't use it for anything else.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

I buy Planet Oat at my grocery store because it's always on sale. I don't use a lot in coffee though, just a splash, I'm not a half milk / half coffee drinkers. So if you are using a lot maybe it doesn't work as well as dairy milk, I don't know. I do use it for cereal and it is the only plant milk that I've found is super close to the 'mouthfeel' of whole milk in cereal. I really like it. Before I tried oat I tried rice milk and didn't like it. I used almond milk for a long time and it was tolerable. Then I tried oat milk and I think it's far superior in cereal to the other options.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

It's bursty; I tend to do a lot of work on stuff when I do a hardware upgrade, but otherwise it's set it and forget it for the most part. The only servers I pay any significant attention to in terms of frequent maintenance and security checks are the MTAs in the DMZ for my email. Nothing else is exposed to the internet for inbound traffic except a game server VM that's segregated (credential-wise and network-wise) from everything else, so if it does get compromised it would be a very minimal danger to the rest of my network. Everything either has automated updates, or for servers I want more control over I manually update them when the mood strikes me or a big vulnerability that affects my software hits the news.

TL;DR If you averaged it over a year, I maybe spend 30-60 minutes a week on self hosting maintenance tasks for 4 physical servers and about 20 VM's.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

He's an Elon fanboi, in their world any amount of human suffering is fine as long as the profits keep coming in.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

The old G502s have treated me well. I bought several on sale many years ago so I’d have a lifetime supply just to avoid the inevitable downward spiral in quality.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Have to disagree on EVGA. I’ve purchased a lot of their hardware and any time I had an issue their support and RMAs were great. I’m really sad they got out of the video card business.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

You got me there, I've never used one of their mice. I didn't even know they made them. I have only purchased video cards and power supplies from them, and haven't ever been disappointed. But no company always gets it right. Maybe they should stick to the things they're good at!

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

I have had probably 5 of their video cards and 4 or 5 of their power supplies. I've had one video card die a month before the 3 year warranty was up, and they sent me a much more powerful card as a replacement. That's good service.

I've had one power supply die and they cross shipped me a replacement, had it 3 days later.

Nothing is bulletproof, components fail. It's how the company handles it that matters, to me.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Agreed, I only use them or Seasonic, and it's been a long time since I bought a Seasonic.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

No, I don't agree. What would a list of companies that never have hardware issues with their products look like? Spoiler alert, it would be a blank sheet of paper. Every company that makes electronics hardware has some level of defects. Perfection is an impossible standard to reach economically, and nothing lasts forever. If you have been lucky to not have hardware problems from a particular vendor, then that's it, just luck.

I've worked with enterprise network and server hardware for over 25 years now. Dell, HP, IBM, NetApp, EMC, Cisco, name any major tech hardware player and I've replaced their broken equipment in a datacenter. And all that equipment is (supposedly) built to a higher standard than consumer grade hardware. It still fails. Some companies handle that in a way that benefits the customer. Most don't. EVGA has always done it right that I've seen, so I have to give them props. Everything I ever bought from EVGA (or its RMA'd replacement) is still running in my house. Nothing has yet failed out of warranty in at least 10 years of buying their stuff. I'd call that a good track record.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

My entire career has been supporting and designing Microsoft server solutions for large companies. I am not anti Microsoft. Yet I switched to Linux last month for my daily driver. I encourage you to do the same. Linux Mint is a good place to start for anyone no matter your experience level.

It’s just going to keep getting worse folks. These intrusions won’t stop. Microsoft has lost its way. You aren’t the customer anymore. They will exploit you in every way they can.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

That dude is about to have a bad day.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

And a good chunk of the 96.3% just wish it was.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

Come on, it can't be half and half. Won't somebody think about the poor bastards making EXACTLY 35k?
