This is such a joy to behold

Thanks, I hate it.

Might be better to not allow them in the first place…

“Trap” is giving too much credit to all parties. They all are doing things that they think will keep them in power longer; Netanyahu because of all the corruption charges, and Trump because he wants to be seen as this cool tough guy / just wants to watch explosions.

Just keep jumping between the two!

mild shock

So frustrating to see this keep happening, where there isn’t any anger until it personally affects them.

I use navidrome for the server, then Tempo for the streaming to my phone (which has been phenomenal).

*this has been my daily “we shouldn’t have yearly phone releases” rant.

Cool, so they’re effectively trying to brick older devices?

USian here: this had a much darker initial read 😅🫠

Devil’s advocate: humans cause an excess of death beyond that of cats: is it better to put humans down to prevent them from causing mass death?

I’m not disagreeing that they cause harm, but its a philosophical argument of utilitarianism that deaths of a subset would be better no matter what, right? It’s a nuance that can’t necessarily be put to black and white contexts. That’s all I wanted to put forward, but I may have messed up my argument trying to distill to a sentence or two.

Agreed that it’s not empirical data

I’m a waffler from way back, and the wording in that sentence I waffled on the “right” description for where I fell into.

Since being in my own and having multiple days, I don’t think it’s completely impossible for me. I let our cats out with our supervision so they can roll in the grass and enjoy the outdoors; then, we bring them right back in.

My parents never want to get rid of cats, so if any of them were not able to “properly behave” indoors they would be put out as a barn cat. Was it wrong to do that? To them, they’re still caringv and care for the cat, they just didn’t like its behavior. This also was in a small town where going to the pound likely meant kill shelter.

To date, they’ve rescued around 15 cats from off the street, and about 3/4 stayed in the house.

Nuance and all that jazz.

While I understand the sentiment, its a hard line. I waffle with it being sometimes impossible to avoid.

With that said, my parents have an outdoor cat still going from my middle school days; he’s currently 23 y/o, and still able to hold his own. I’m always impressed visiting because I expect to hear he passed when in fact he’s yelling about wet food not being available when he’s makes his appearance. Most of his days are spent laying on their back porch, and I’m insanely jealous of how full and long of a life he’s experienced.

That was a fun ride, and that timeline was long for mitigation.

Again, the irony: let’s go back to what my original thing was. There’s got to be a better way than hurling insults and not talking to people.

Irony is dead lol. Bill…you are talking about DT, who literally only insults. It’s especially terrible if the MF is completely different in private, because it shows an awareness of that.

Lol sounds like he’s doing a great job in his role checks notes in charge of US defense.

I have a script to self-sign 10 year certs on internal traffic only, and then added my public cert to devices needing it. I’m going to be really annoyed in a decade, but until then I’m having a ball 🙂
