I bought a vacuum from goodwill for $24 usd when I moved to a new city 11 year ago and its still kicking. Crazy to me to spend $500 cad on something like a vacuum.

Stuff you should know, but I haven’t really tried many other podcasts.

You seem to think your enemies will respect you, lol…

I think you better go ask someone on your opposing political spectrum if they’d leave you alone if they found out you had a gun when knocking on your door to arrest or harm you.

to respectfully cautious

Lmao to quote you, GTFO out here with that

Explain to me how a gun would help you when police or government agents or even just a rowdy local militia come knocking on your door, I’m genuinely interested in hearing how you think that will play out.

I feel like they are being purposely mis-managed to stall momentum. My city had 2 protests the same day a few weeks back and the one I went to only got like 100 people to attend. Why was there 2 protests instead of 1 larger protest?

Saw a commercial on TV the last time I was home visiting family, and it was a guy at the grocery store looking at produce and picked up a pear and said ‘wow, 4 dollars??’ And then the next shot was him handing the cashier 2 pears and passing over a credit card, with the overlayed audio mentioning something about being in good hands with whatever credit card company it was. Bleak as fuck for sure. I can’t believe someone greenlit that commercial, for what it says about the state of the country and how fucked people are they can’t afford basic fucking food without putting it on credit. People can’t afford food, and they’re framing it as a positive.

I know the usual thing in tech and hacker community is usually ‘why not??’ when people question why someone did a project, but this one has me scratching my head when Devilution-X exists. I’m really questioning why someone would go through the effort to finish this project.

One of the best shows, I loved Dark.

Blade Runner: Black Lotus, love some cyberpunk in these trying times

I think this is an offhanded comment, but if you’re actually confused about the saying:

There’s varying levels of trust, if someone on the street tells you something bizarre, you’d probably be skeptical of it and not believe the information they told you.

But if your wife who you’ve been married to for 20 years and is generally a factually correct individual, tells you that bizzare information, you’d probably trust it a bit more and believe it, but its still a weird thing they’re talking about, so you’d probably want to verify by trying to find a news article or google the subject matter to make sure what they’re saying is true. Doesn’t mean you don’t trust your wife, just that the information they told you doesn’t sound feasibly correct, and you want to verify to make sure.

If someone with a PH.D in the subject matter tells you that weird piece of information, you’d probably trust it on the spot, but you also should probably verify with a peer reviewed journal article, just to verify.

Example in the context of your example:

a random person on the street stops you and says your wife is cheating on you. “Wtf? What do they know about me or my wife, I dont even know this person, they’re crazy…”

A good friend tells you that you’re wife is cheating on you. “Oh shit… Could she really be cheating on me? I should confront her and find out the truth…”

The guy your wife is cheating on you with, tells you your wife us cheating on you. “Fuck… This can’t be can it?? Fuck! I should confront her and find out the truth…”

Trust, but verify.

There is the syncthing-fork that as far as I know is continuing, with the added bonus that it supports a 1-way sync by ignoring deletes on the phone side, so you don’t have to store your whole music collection on your phone if you don’t want to.

The money should be put into a cancer fund to pay for research and people’s medical bills from the cancer all this shit causes.

You just reminded me I have to get caught up with that series again so I can read the last book. I powered through the whole series before the last book was released and now I kind of forget what was going on, to jump in again.
