We want to elect a president who is a convicted fraudster, found to have committed a sexual assault, who incited people to overthrow the government and murder is VP then watched excitedly while it went down, and who has promised to suspend our rights to punish anyone who questions him...

And then, we want to talk about presidential ethics?

Yeah, no. That ship has sailed. Ethics will get much much worse, because that's what voters clearly selected. Lets not pretend anyone gives a shit.

I live in Colorado, and one day I stepped on the scale and noticed that I hit a milestone, did the math and realized that per my BMI I just hit the obese line (check yours, it's probably lower than you think).

I decided that I was not going to be the guy fucking up this map for my fellow Coloradans, so I started eating more vegetables, fewer carbs, and fewer calories overall, and lost 25 pounds.

So, I'd say peer pressure helps.

I miss targeted advertisements. It's important that my OS tracks what my interests are, so that I can be served more relevant advertising.

Advertising that doesn't know my interests doesn't hold my interest, and having no ads means that I have no idea what I'm supposed to purchase next. It's crazy.

I've managed people for 20 years, and I've never denied a PTO request. The business has never collapsed because of that.

Top Tip: Do have a LinkedIn Profile so that employers can find you and verify that you are a person with experience and connections.

However, do not read LinkedIn. Do not post thoughts or engage with LinkedIn content. That is what desperate, soul-sucking, horrible people do.

A Fever Ray bot?

That would be pretty niche. I'm not going to confirm or deny.

Despite what everyone told me on message boards about lack of support for Adobe products and CAD software... somehow I've been really successful on linux-only for many many years now.

It's really nice. Remember when your computer was actually yours? You choose what apps to install, what configuration you want, and who you share your data with? Those dreams are alive with Linux: Not just for nerds anymore.

Anytime you see a map of the US with "preference by county", go ahead and pull up a map of the US at night from space next to it.

You'll see that once choice is generally where electricity is, and the other choice is where it's dark.

The court ruled that Fontes had not provided sufficient proof that releasing the list posed a danger to voters.

(24 hours later)

Holy crap! They're going after the voters! Nobody could have seen this coming!

Kamala should be meeting with the military to prepare a response. This is not a time to be polite.

YouTube's goal, as was Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and TikTok and everyone else, is to get you to consume what they want you to consume, rather than what you choose to consume.
