This was once my main account, then I ended up using an alt account more. Life is weird sometimes.
Back when the “eating Tide Pods” thing was a thing, I was on a heartburn-inducing multiple-week business trip.Saturday morning, I had some delicious leftovers in my hotel fridge, but no cutlery. It was also my chance to do laundry before the next work week.I didn’t think anything of it to go to the local grocery store, get a bag of Tide Pods, a box of plastic cutlery, and some antacids.The cashier didn’t notice, but the young lady bagging was genuinely concerned, which I found hilarious.
Computers work on “word length”, which is how many bits the processor can operate on simultaneously. Early computers were as little as 4 bits, and modern computers get up to 128 bits at once (sort of). Most now are 64.We spent a long time in 16 and 32-bit eras, but computers haven’t been purely 8-bit in a long time. You might be thinking of ASCII, which is something of a relic from that era.
Well, this didn’t age so well… /gallery/HVrDGZn/comment/2410175109I went stalking to see if you might fit what my employer’s looking for. We’re kinda always hiring… and sometimes have remote positions open. I’ll DM.
Oh man. I would not have gotten that. Never seen it.Still, I like the challenge!
In my younger days, I pinned a cute college girl against the wall… With a metal stake through her stomach.Thanks to a proper harness, careful costuming, and a lot of stage makeup, she could comfortably hang around for hours traumatizing the paying customers at the haunted house, and nobody could see how the effect was done.
It’s simply not true. Smart speaker devices have been thoroughly reverse-engineered, and no reputable source has ever found evidence that they listen without being triggered. Understanding all the details does take some expertise, though, so it’s easy to believe the myth.
Well NOW I’m disappointed…
Username checks out. The police are on their way.
This news broke within the last day or two, so that’d be the date. I, for one, with people would tag political shitposts, so they can be properly blocked.
Your hugs must indeed be from a dad...

Tax loopholes aren't "entitlements". An entitlement is something you actually have a right to, like medical care or basic needs…
I'm fine with that, since you have to start change somewhere… I'm not so good with the personality cults they're building.
Maxim 29: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.
Careful with the hero worship… There's a lot of red flags in her story, and they point to a fundraising grift. Better than Gaetz, but still…
That's already exactly how it works. Churches can't (legally) tell people how to vote, and can't donate to political campaigns.
But... but... Florida has gators, not crocs!
You're not supposed to interfere with God's plan for their lives. When they die, God supposedly judges them appropriately. (2/2)
I don't agree, but the idea is that this is God's will. God made the fetus, and God is punishing/testing refugees with hardship. (1/2)
After 23 years, it's time to upgrade your CPU.
I can't speak to his initial motives, but too much of his story doesn't match reality. I won't honor the lies with the "patriot" title. 6/6
It's not the work of a patriot. It's the work of an arrogant idiot at best, most likely a foreign tool, and a traitor at worst. 5/6
Instead he dumped raw data to the public, then blamed journalists for not redacting and claims patriotism to hide aiding enemies. 4/6
The official whistleblower channels work silently and well. There were other avenues he could pursue that he didn't even bother to try. 3/6
He didn't just leak domestic info. He released diplomatic info, foreign abilities, and operation names. He correlated other leaked info. 2/6
