him working for free for them

That's a borderline way of saying that he let them use something he had already written for their training. It misleadingly implies he's doing work on their behalf when told to and it's deliberate. That's journalist writing.

Other than that, I agree.

Let me guess. The real headline is:

The US has more online hosting than any other country and the CSAM is proportionally distributed.

The online version of that shit where a "damning" map of some statistic is just a map of population? Normalize to capacity or GTFO.

The first is its sheer size and the fact it is home to the highest number of data centers and secure internet servers in the world, creating fast networks with swift, stable connections which are attractive to CSAM hosting sites.

Imagine my shock.

You're completely correct. My worst fear about 2024 is we actually get Biden out and are rewarded with inaction on the border due to the deep state challenging everything in court while Trump spends his energy on "helping our greatest ally" and losing what might be our one chance to shake the US a little free from that foreign influence.

It's the worst timing for this shit.

Bullshit.

Poverty level in the US is $14,580. Standard deduction for an individual is $13,850. The absolute most in federal taxes an individual "worker in poverty" is paying is 5% And that's not counting EITC or any other credit that they're handed.

The reason billionaires "pay less in taxes" is because it's unrealized gains. The moment they try to actually spend any of it, they're getting taxed. That's why whenever you see these claims it's backed by something like "we looked at a 3 year period" or "we looked at 23 billionaires." Always something with a suspiciously framed dataset so that they can omit someone's whopping tax payment and then lose the mid-sized payments in the averaging.

flat tax, no deductions

I find this acceptable, but you're going to see lots of screaming and crying from the people who benefit most under the "progressive" tax system we have now - the 40% of people who pay no income tax. That was about the only thing that retard Romney got right.

It depends.

A normie user can do just as fine on modern Linux as Windows because they don't do anything interesting. A Windows power user is going to go "where is all my stuff" and have to relearn the wheel, but will eventually realize it's a better wheel.

The place where it still really suffers is still device drivers. Generic stuff like mass storage, CDC, Ethernet are pretty decent these days but GPU is convoluted and god help you if you have some non-consumer specialty device. Printers, flip a coin.

lions

IIRC, aren't they one of the few animals that usually prefers fully dead prey and goes for the windpipe? Mostly on account of their prey being stuff that can do real damage with one lucky kick.

like "kosher" salt

Correct. It got it's name because that style of salt was used historically in the ritualistic preparation of meats. It's just flaky salt with none of the racket.

These people are in one of two categories:

  1. They are retarded
  2. They are trolling you by pretending to be retarded

Neither is worth your time.

by forcing them to "service" the aforementioned slave soldier

Isn't that only two of them? The rest of the harem doesn't even need the plot device. Shushu's honestly curious about men and Tenka... Tenka's just plain old weapons-grade horny.

It's more that it pisses me off to even see 4chan /b/ culture from the 2000's retconned by them.

When the "programming socks" meme was born, "non-binary" hadn't even been made up yet.

If you told me Canada had implemented this, I would believe you.

That's not what that line is for. It's not a statement of independent thought. It's so when you report them to their employers for saying, "I work for XYZ Corp and everyone there wishes you would die" they can point to their bio and go "I wasn't speaking officially for the company, so it doesn't count!"

Programming Socks is a term given to specific types of knee socks and thigh highs which became notable for often being worn by transgender and non-binary people, as well as crossdressers,

Fuck them and their historical revisionism. In fact, "trap" would really be the most accurate term if KYM wasn't so pozzed.

What's the point in making cheap breakable junk that is cheaper to buy?

You seem to be confused as to what 3d printers are for. They're not going to outperform mass-production injection molded for price. If it is something you can readily buy, it's not something that you should be 3d printing.

3d printing is for making things that are not commercially available: hard to find parts, custom parts, prototypes.

What's the point in a home-ink jet printer if the quality is so much less than the quality of National Geographic?

Because sometimes, you want to print something besides a 1:1 copy of something from the newsstand. Likewise, it would be cost-prohibitive (not to mention retarded) to contract someone to spin up a photogravure press so you could make a pristine copy of a utility bill for your filing cabinet.

Manage expectations.

Would you want to work as a community manager? Me neither.
It's a fluff position where you spend you entire day on social media.

It's a very female (and people trying to act female) role in general. Now, restrict that to the gaming sector and see who you're left with. Then add in "I moderate several dozen subreddits" as work experience and you're fucked.

Gaming was better when "the community" was fan managed and all corporate did was put out press releases and the occasional trade show presentation.

Now they're just another player competing with a dozen others on what? UI? Farmers Only has more of a value proposition than you do now.

The mega-gay, crossdressing, far-right, black-faced, Swedish catboy frightens and confuses the left.

Mostly because how the fuck do you even start to respond to that much chaos?

Objection!

A couple seconds of image search indicates that the "vampire nun" thing can definitely be pulled off in an attractive way. Primarily by AliExpress costume models it seems...

Anyway, this is deliberately bad makeup/wardrobe/camera angle/post-processing because someone thought it was "art."

It's a good thing Americans don't have more than 12 heritages or things would get really contentious /s

Actually, fuck it. Can we make it Jewish Heritage Month and Palestinian Heritage Month. That should be a fun annual blowout.
