    Police behaving badly

    What would a police department need with a cybertruck anyway. Don't think they'd be that effective in a car chase, given their reliability. **edit** Oh, it's a PR car, not for actual police work. So it's an even bigger waste of taxpayer money.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I hope you're right, Wonko, and it's just not my anxious nature getting the best of me. Seems to be going up as we get closer to the election. Doesn't help that where I live is the Trumpiest area in an otherwise blue state. Frankly I'll be glad when I can go back to thinking about this as...

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    It's a bit nitpicky on that. Just like anxiety and envy aren't exactly limited to teenagers and adults. Still their depiction of anxiety is VERY close to my experiences with it, to the point where I was holding back tears in the theater during the panic attack segment.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Also things are close, he doesn't have to move the needle much to change the results, unfortunately. Social media needs more regulation. The algorithms they use to decide what to promote and the data they feed into said algorithms should be public knowledge at the very last.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Yea, Kirk, while not quite a diplomatic as Picard, still preferred to broker peace than shoot first. The movie characterizations of both characters tended to erode their calmer, more thoughtful natures, unfortunately.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    So our choices are non answers or non answers with a side order.of easily fact checked lies. Think I'll go for first option. Likely cost less in the long run.

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Anger and fear are the only tools MAGA Republicans know how to use. It's not about coming up with solutions, it's about whipping their base into a frenzy so they can stay in power. MTG, to the NORMAL person, is an idiot, but to her base she's 'just telling it like it is'..... Being fed a diet...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    He was also a rich immigrant. He had money BEFORE coming to the US(not a much as he does now, but definitely way more than I do currently). It's just as much about class as it is ethnicity. It would be important not to forget that. He wants to reshape the US(and the world) into a...

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    Once again part of the movie that resonated with me a LOT.... I spend way too much time thinking through dark 'what if' scenarios than is healthy. Almost to a paralyzing degree.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    So their 'religion' has an order of magnatude fewer adherents that the actual trans population of Scotland. Small bonus, I guess. At least my Scottish sisters and brothers can overwhelm them in pure numbers, lol.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    She's willing to put a Republican in her cabinet if she thinks they would be good in the spot, which is more gracious than I would have been. I don't have a problem with that, on paper, assuming said cabinet member is fit for the role. Seem to be fewer and fewer Republican politicians I can say...

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    Yea. Nintendo is still Nintendo(for all the good and bad that is) and dos its own thing with a library different than what you see on the other two consoles.(outside of a lot of the same indie games, of course)

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    https://gizmodo.com/truth-social-users-are-losing-ridiculous-sums-of-money-to-scams-2000506604 A social media company founded by a conman attracts a bunch of people who are easy to scam? Sounds like it's probably working as expected.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Blink IS technically open source. It would be possible to fork it and strip out all the telemetry. Problem is all the browsers that use it just turn around and add their own telemetry to their modified code.

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    I'm sure Comcast/Sky doesn't care to much about the IP and licenses it out to just about anyone willing to throw a bit of cash their way.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    The Blink engine, is a good one, but we shouldn't be reliant on a single engine for most of the available browsers, especially considering who controls said engine. Of course oddly enough, Chrome wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Safari and Safari wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for KDE...

    You're not gonna like this, but Comcast owns the ZX spectrum IP via its Sky subsidiary.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Opera is also a reskinned Chrome. That's part of the problem.

    Edge is a tweaked chrome. Likely referencing Firefox.

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    Some company called Coleco Holdings apparently snapped up all the Coleco video game IPs. Company seems a little shady, they were involved with the whole Coleco Chameleon vaporware thing several years ago(granted, they blamed their manufacturing partner in the whole affair)
