Well then there’s the answer to “why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page”
Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
Well then there’s the answer to “why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page”
I sent the first news story about the signal chats to my parents ands in-laws in a big group that said “I had better never fucking hear another one of you dumbasses say a word about ‘HeR eEeEeEmAiLs’ ever again”
Not a single one replied, both parents have (according to my wife) started taking Facebook posts they’ve made in the past down, and my in-laws have not said a political word in over a week. It’s been refreshing.
They clearly aren’t ready to accept they may have been totally wrong all along, but it’s nice to see they might be self-aware enough to recognize when they might be potentially maybe SOMETIMES be less than correct about specific things.
You need a microscope to see it, but i consider it a step up.
“if someone said anything negative about me, I would gladly murder dozens of people JUST to make them look bad, therefore this is perfectly believable!”
That’s the logic.
You know it’s funny, I actually tried two different multicolor pens, but there’s a limited size for the pen to fit, and the colors are never quite what you want them to be.
I use pilot g2 pens with a 0.38 tip. The gel pens work best, as there’s minimal to no bleeding on the page like markers, normal Bic style pens are too hard on the paper to actually mark anything, and pencils don’t auto-feed.
I’m sure a multi-color pen is feasible, and I’m positive I could find the perfect one for a price. But this works for now, as long as I don’t feel like adding more than 4 colors.
The USA is kidnapping innocent people off the street and sending them to death camps.
Always have been. Now we’re doing it in broad daylight to our own citizens.
I like that handwritten look, but I’m also not dumb enough to use my own handwriting.
My anonymous letters are written with one of those vinyl plotter/cutter things, but it uses a pen attachment to write things instead of cut. It looks very nice when finished. And most importantly, as long as you wear gloves, you don’t leave any evidence on the paper.
Note: you can also use it to draw things, but swapping out colors is tedious.
Gotta love all the people who seem to think if we keep doing exactly the same thing (non-violent protests that are out of people’s way) and if we ask really really nicely that we will be allowed to go back to a less insane country.
Anyone who wants to sit down and ask ICE to not deport them to a concentration camp is welcome to do so I guess. I’d say “your funeral” but you’ll never get a funeral. You’ll be dumped in a mass grave or incinerated.
If Obama did it, I’m positive we would have sitting congressional members calling for his execution for treason publicly.
This is such a weird comment, full of “NiCd batteries aren’t good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can’t store the power” energy.
It’s a test reactor, it’s meant to be smaller than the “big boys”, and in a few years it’ll be smaller and more efficient.
Sure, it’s not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.
If I pull a gun when ICE thugs roll up on me, I am ABSOLUTELY not going to the gulag.
I will be dead, having been shot 197 times by 3 people who shot 400 rounds each.
But if I’m lucky, quick, and have drilled enough with my firearm, I’ll have taken at least one of them with me.
The gun isn’t some magic forcefield, and nobody who posts or says things like this is under the illusion that it is.
I will happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me before I lie down and accept death in a concentration camp.
I will also happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me to protect someone nearby from being taken.
Nobody posting memes like this is under any illusion that if they pull a gun, they are getting away with no repercussions. Bare minimum, you are now on the run for the rest of your life or until the remaining US population sees the light of day and organizes with us.
I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.
Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)
The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.
And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.
They lose their shit and panic.
One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him…
The last two places I’ve lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.
They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.
Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.
I got it on one of those giveaways that steam/epic/gog sometimes do, so I never even gave them money over it and I still want my money back.

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.
A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it’s beneficial or not.
Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren’t the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it’s beneficial and correct.
So yes, scheme is appropriate.
