The lack of empathy I see here disappoints me. Comments like these are similar to Europeans telling Americans to throw their lives away and rebel against their government, or “just emmigrate” like it’s really as easy as hopping on a plane.

These Russians could have been conscripted, they might’ve enlisted to feed their starving families, or they might fully support the war effort because they’re young and brainwashed by state propaganda. They’re all victims of this shitty war in their own way.

War sucks. There are zero winners. I’m not at all sympathetic to Russia’s cause and wish they’d leave Ukraine alone, so I understand the desire to hate Russians and to cheer at the death of every Russian soldier. I just wish people practiced nuance here and didn’t give into the hate so much.

Not sure. Anyone want to start some shit so we can find out?

I figure the ads are just cached from earlier. I took this picture a few hours after I finished setting up my pfBlockerNG feeds and changing my DNS to AdGuard’s public one.

If nothing else, this ad certainly reaffirmed my decision to update our network.

Oh, and if anyone knows why pfBlockerNG might fail to update some DNSBL AND IPv4 feeds during cron events, I’d be forever grateful. I’m getting tired of my router crashing every hour.

Hisense. Name and shame baby

*with Google’s TV OS

It’s absolutely no different! The TV is doing something weird to get around it, or these ads are just cached from earlier. I’m not sure yet. Good news is that the ad blockers definitely works, we’re getting 96/100 on https://adblock-tester.com/

Yeah I guess the superbowl is soon, there’s another row of football ads one or two rows up. I’ll remind myself that I paid for the TV, the electricity to run it, and the bandwidth to connect it, yet I’m still shown full screen ads first thing when I turn my TV on. And I don’t even watch football. And I can’t disable it.

Corporate America and gargle my balls

Anybody have a mirror link? It’d be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.

Yeah, remember how Epstein didn’t kill himself? I sure do.

Reading this literally made me feel a little queasy.

Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.

That’s what we said about COVID and absolutely nothing improved fundamentally.

Literally in the article brief and in the second paragraph: “Electronics manufactures must from Saturday fit all devices sold in the EU with USB-C charger ports…”

I’m more disappointed that this is “news” than anything else

Yep, that’s why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you’re in the middle of the ocean or something.

I transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.

A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn’t in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by “we accept your insurance.” I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would’ve been completely covered.

I still haven’t paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it’s probably collections, but I don’t know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I’d rather die than reward these parasites with my money.

I’m pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I’d get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can’t afford to right now. I’m a childless engineer with “great” health insurance and a roommate, so I’m relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn’t boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.

Are you talking about the student loans he wrote off for a small subset of people who needed it?

I’m happy for those who got it, but that’s hardly enough progress on this issue for me to give our government praise for it. Nearly all of us in the working class were still better off four years ago than we are now. Biden jacked up interest rates to address “inflation,” which increased my mortgage by around $700 a month. That’s more than what I pay in student loans, and that’s just one example.

Things seems to just get worse slower when dems are in office, not better. IAnd I’m entirely fed up with it.

They’re referring to the white buildup that happens from the aluminum in antiperspirant. Deodorant without aluminum (and therefore not an antiperspirant) won’t give this buildup.

Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven’t found a fix for it yet, so I’m effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

I’ll continue using Linux, but I haven’t deleted my Windows partition yet.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.
