I take the same precautions crossing a Chinese border as I do crossing a US one.

The second part is worse than the first. If people like you, and you are pleasant to be around, and they can tell you are doing your best… Then they will be much more forgiving in regards to your work output.

I love the idea of an unaccountable spy agency using alpha technology that hallucinates answers with complete confidence /s

Sometimes I’m neutral good and other times chaotic good. I’m at a relatively small company though, so I’d probably be different at a megacorp.

Fuck that is awful. That has always been the worst part of JJ, and I hope they don’t bring it back. All those poor animals suffering in the heat, including dog breeds like Huskies :(

Also packaged for new-agers and self-helpers as “The Secret” or “The Law of Attraction”.

Boiling the oceans for deepfake porn, scamcoins and worse web search.

Sup J ;)

A lot of these issues can probably be solved in one of two ways:

1. Buy a computer from a company that sells Linux computers. Hardware issues should be nonexistent, and sometimes there’s even a customized DE that smoothes out package installation.

2. Have a friend help you get up and running. I’ve given out a few Mint machines lately, and I always boot it up and preconfigure some stuff before I hand it over.

Generally, I think most modern distros are well within the capability of anyone brave and savvy enough to flash a USB drive and boot their computer from it. If they don’t have that level of technical skill, that’s okay, but then I’d say pick from the two options above.

Of course the US can’t supply the need itself. Sending some energy biscuits that you hope Israel will allow through, is like offering a band aid to someone with a severed femoral artery. The idea that food aid is the solution to this crisis is itself very stupid, especially when the “lethal aid” keeps flowing to Israel, which they use to bomb refugee camps. You think there’s no pleasing me because I’m not satisfied with the food aid. What I am concerned about is stopping the genocide.

What is ridiculous is that a small number of energy biscuits have made it through. I helpfully broke the quotes and my responses to each section out. Read it again with that in mind.

“The U.N. World Food Program said Wednesday that it has handed out in Gaza in recent days a “limited number” of high-energy biscuits that arrived from a U.S.-built pier”

– Ridiculous

“Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters Tuesday that he did not believe any of the aid from the pier had yet reached people in Gaza. Sullivan said a day later that some aid had been delivered “specifically to the Palestinians who need it.””

– Sounds like the general was reprimanded after his first comment.

“American officials hope the pier at maximum capacity can bring the equivalent of 150 truckloads of aid to Gaza each day. That’s a fraction of the 600 truckloads of food, emergency nutritional treatments and other supplies that USAID says are needed each day”

–Even if this was working at max capacity, which it definitely isn’t, it wouldn’t be nearly enough.

"The WFP had warned this week that the U.S. project could fail unless Israeli authorities gave clearances and cooperation for alternate land routes and better security.

Humanitarian officials and the U.S. say the sea route is not a replacement for bringing aid through land crossings, and they have repeatedly called on Israel to allow a steady large flow of trucks through entry points and to ensure aid workers are safe from the Israeli military."

:/

Is this anti-guillotine technology??

Did you read the article, or just the headline?

If it’s going through an Israeli checkpoint on the way, it will not reach Gazans. Guaranteed. Same shit happened with the stupid fucking pier. You cannot rely on the perpetrators of genocide to help ameliorate the genocide! This is nothing more than an attempt to soften Biden’s image in regards to supporting this genocide. Only dopes will fall for it.

Not a “not a fart” exactly, butt anyways… You ever eat a lot of cereal at one sitting? Like a whole box? Don’t try that with Frosted Mini Wheats. I did, and then I went to my job baking bagels. I had just gotten all the shelves in the oven full of bagels (idk like 30 dozen). I felt a rumbling that told me I had seconds before release. I grabbed my manager, handed him the peel and told him which rack was coming out first. I didn’t wait for his reply, but I ran to the single bathroom in our busy restaurant and by some miracle it was unoccupied. Not a second to spare and then total relief.

Damn, I wonder if China’s thought of that? Like infiltrators and advance specops to secure high value infrastructure? Probably not.

This is what you call “voter outreach”.

While the Israeli police and soldiers protect the settlers.

It does have high creepy potential (all deepfakes do), but I can understand the appeal. Make sure you take some nice videos of the people you love, and let them take some of you. Death doesn’t always come with a warning, and you don’t want to be wishing you had some recordings.
