That’s messed up. A teacher should’ve shut that down.

I think you’ve made a number of extrapolations from the other commenter’s post, that I don’t see them having said.

I understood their take to mean: abolition doesn’t work (as we’ve seen repeatedly in history). You can’t make something disappear just because you don’t want it to exist. That doesn’t mean “do nothing”, it means take a realistic approach that will actually make a difference.

I want to be clear - I’m with you. There’s a lot of things that I wish never existed but in lieu of that - I am learning how to navigate a world with powerful technologies in the hands of bad and powerful people - and being an agent for change without killing myself in the process. The commenter was being empathetic, suggesting you may want to take an approach that won’t exhaust yourself. This person is an ally - and you are going to fail if you can’t recognize that.

1. No. Please.
2. Why does USAToday need to cite the FBI to define “LARP”? : Emily Lazar posted on X how she needed "answers" and questioned whether Hello Kitty has been "Larping this whole time?" Larping is when "participants portray characters in an imaginary environment and interact with one another in real-time," according to the FBI.

Hold up…dill pickle soup? That sounds delicious. Gonna have to try that

I wasn’t clear, my bad. I meant time to cook the dishes. Like chopped gives them an hour or something. This can greatly impact the recipes and techniques chosen. Not needed though! Just curious.

This is awesome and I’d love to play. Is there a time constraint? That seems pretty key to the tv show challenges.

Interesting article, good to see that this awful shit is being exposed. I see that Jake Adelstein wrote it. Name sounded familiar…he’s the guy the Tokyo Vice show on HBO was about. I kinda liked it, wish it hadn’t been canceled. I don’t know why I was surprised to find he’s still reporting on Japan!

Yeah I’ve heard this quote so much and then when I read this article I suddenly realized the quote is dumb haha. I wonder if these folks were indoctrinated republican from a young age? My guess is probably not all of them.

“the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”

Yep. These Log Cabiners must be real galaxy brains…

I got it for free. (Last company I worked for went bankrupt). I think they were $200 when new? Well I got the case and fan installed….i need a micro hdmi to hdmi cable for display. I was unsuccessful in getting one. I don’t use Amazon anymore. Best Buy has it, cool. Drive over there, they don’t have it. They say they have it, but they can’t find it. Whatever they were gonna overcharge me anyways. Ended up ordering one online from B&H. So still waiting. Didn’t set up pi hole. lol sorry for the rant.

That seems like a good prize pool for a 20eur entry! Good luck

Nice! What are the prizes?

Setting up a Pi Hole on my home network. I’ve never done it before so I have no idea if it will take long. Probably take the pug on a hike too. Oh, and playing monster hunter wilds.
