That phrase is a direct corpospeak response to the liar ALSO being the head of government and wanting the bigliest, beautifuliest defamation laws.

I mean the media suck and are a bunch of spinless weasels, but you can kinda understand why you don't call the liar who sues everyone who calls him a liar what he is, which is a liar.

I'm just hopeful enough that 'If you do this, you stand a very very good chance of completely destroying a national monument.' is enough to get at least a few of the less-nutty Republicans to balk.

If nothing else, we love our monuments and symbols, and destroying one to put his face on it is proooobbbbaaaallllllly too far, still.

There are very very few things that I believe deserve summary and immediate execution, and that's just made the list.

The rockface isn't actually sufficently stable to survive adding a 5th face.

They try to add Trumpo, they're very likely to end up with NO faces.

So yeah, I doubt they'd actually go through with it.

I logged in a few months ago to deal with something with my Quest, and holy shit.

I didn't follow many people, but every post was some AI generated sexy-single-in-my-area nonsense trying to convince me that I need to call them right now for the hot sex, or something.

It was fucking bizarre and I'm utterly confused as to what in the hell is going on, since if they're showing me that shit, you know they're shoveling it at everyone too? Like, I cannot fathom why anyone would willingly put up with that shit for cat pictures or whtaever the hell boomers use it for.

TBH if it's free, that makes you the product, same as everything else.

You probably shouldn't be even remotely considering any free option if you're after something with any reasonable amount of privacy.

I don't have a recommendation for a non-free one, since I just build shit with Twilio when I need things, which isn't really uh, applicable to your desires.

I mean this won't happen, but I kinda threw up in my mouth a little bit.

The one thing keeping me sane is the realization that that old crusty piece of shit will be dead soon, and I'll never have to see their rapist face again.

Came here to follow up with this.

I don't care what magic beans my email provider wants to sell, at the end of the day they're only able to do encryption within their own server which is pointless.

Anyone who thinks email is not immediately plain-text when they hit the send button (because, frankly, it is) is suffering from some weird marketing-induced delusion, or just plain doesn't understand that proton encrypting something, or SSL in transit is not going to do a single damn thing to improve security.

Sure my copy of an email is all nice and secure, but the other copy of it almost certainly not, unless you use something like GPG to force the contents to be transmitted encrypted, and fucking nobody uses GPG outside of very limited situations.

It means they don’t plan to add support but don’t want to tell you that so it’s “on the radar”.

Wouldn’t hold my breath or expect anything.

My bias makes me immediately think that anything they're claiming should be considered suspect.

Frankly, if an antivaxxer told me the sky was blue, I'd go outside to check.

This is a case where you should find a second or third source making the same claims, as well as a better source that says how much and specifically what was found in the cookies because it's entirely possible to have dangerous things in something but at levels that are not actually dangerous, and I see no specific units being claimed anywhere.

And I mean, glyphosphate is something we've sprayed on every inch of the globe at this point anyways and is on every single thing you're going to eat, so sure, it's bad, but it's only bad at certain concentrations. (It's Roundup)

Agreed. We can't run the risk that children might think on their own or develop an opinion on things.

They're here to take care of me when I'm old, and until I'm dead they're going to do exactly what I say, when I say, and how I say.

We don't need this kind of woke "thinking for yourself" nonsense.

(Very /s for the person out there that had a bad case of the woosh.)

Wait, five weeks to change billing providers?

I really really really need to hear the story as to what the fuck happened with their old provider, why they didn't have the engineering work already done for the new one, and how a trillion dollar company got caught flat-footed in something even a dinky-ass ecommerce site selling kitten hats wouldn't be.

+1 to mxroute for anyone thinking about it.

Been using it for a while (and worked with the guy who runs it) and it's been pretty much perfect.

Ah cool. I kinda wish that card issuers would issue a tiny little NFC disc or something so I can just integrate that into whatever and get the same functionality.

But that'd probably be a thing all of 8 people on earth want, and everyone else would lose it or eat it or something.

Nah, this is just oligarchbro technocrap.

US law is pretty limited as to what inciting a riot is, and it has to specifically be a call to violence.

Want to have a strike? That's not inciting. Want to organize a protest? Not inciting.

Have to cross the line from walking around with badly made signs into 'yo, let's burn their shit down and break their legs' before you've managed to actually be inciting.

no love lost for cops, but I also have no sympathy

Yeah I feel that.

This story, though is great: a piece of shit gets killed, and I don't have to care about what happens to the killer either. This isn't some guy like Luigi who did it because of how he was treated, it's a cop. And, given the odds, he's a giant piece of shit anyways, he just happened to do something useful.

Sorry if i missed it but I have a really stupid question: why not just use the card directly?

Is this just a dont-want-a-wallet thing, or something else?

I mean, it's economic blackmail: we won't build the good shit anywhere else, so if you don't protect us, you get nothing.

Effective, but only if you're dealing with someone who is rational, and, well, have you seen the brain-worm oligarchs in charge of the US lately?

Hey, the anti-circumcision crowd finally has a legally-binding-ish decree they can use to go after anyone who performs one, now.

Just in case ya'll are reading this, I fully support you using this to beat every single person you can manage to find about the face with.

Everything will be more expensive, if it uses a modern CPU. Phones, tablets, computers of any type from any company (both Intel and AMD are fabbing consumer CPUs on TSMC, as is Apple and Qualcomm), TVs, set top boxes, everything.

Right now TSMC is basically the only fab anything consumer-facing is made on, which is not a great thing in general, but vice president trump just decided that anything electronic needs a hefty price hike.
