Anyway, hysterics aside, I sort of agree and question why business hours remain so similar to each other. There's parts that make sense (daytime-adjacency, we're likely too religious for Sunday to be included) but others that don't (issues with regular international meetings, nothing's open).

Oh God, oh no. How did I let it get this far without realizing it? "Capitalist media"? Mitch! Come back to us!

I don't like being rude and telling you to do something so basic as to Google something (and in that case because I didn't get the full message I couldn't look it up myself). But fair enough, you can always try looking at crash logs, but IME they're only so helpful.

I take it you've tried looking up the message to no avail?

That's very odd. I've dual-booted for years with no issues of the sort. Does it have some kind of message saying "You need to reset your PIN for blah blah blah reason"?

I always figured with half of these investments they're just bored and looking for random vanity projects to occupy their time. The other half being attempts at image rehabilitation.

Spoke to @gregsargent.bsky.social about how people don't really get that Donald Trump is the most unpopular first-year president in modern history — but this time for the economy, rather than abuse of office.

These are very bad political waters for a president. newrepublic.com/article/2010...

Everytime I hear you complain about your job I just start imagining these people. "Yeah, I come from 3 states away and I'd like to trade in this go-kart, half a lawnmower, and some PVC pipe for this 2006 Hyundai Sonata."

You should see how they play chess in porn.

I got something like 1fl oz/10000 mi but I think I might be underestimating the effect of power consumption on fuel efficiency.

I like the idea, I might do that next time.

Is this ROT13?

What's the tl;dw?

Just because it's real doesn't mean it's not a weird game designed to torture you.

I agree with this in theory, but in that case the survey should've probably also included other potential reasons (including, but not limited to sexual orientation/gender identity) to cut people off because I think otherwise this data is ultimately missing context.

According to this person later in the thread it seems to be "will to enact policy irrespective of law or authority".

I think the president just plainly stating that he's firing the person who produces economic data because he doesn't like the numbers officially pushes us into a new era where you just can't believe government data anymore.

Someone you care about suffering from psychosis? That's just about the only scenario I can see an overlap.

I think it was originally like second class seating (as distinct from first class and economy/coach) but made to sound more palatable to the people who actually flew it (who I believe were usually actually businesspeople because they'd get prioritized and that's useful when delays matter).

It feels like there's more to this than meets the eye, because there's been other incidents that are similar. Part of me wants to try and investigate, but I'm lazy and wouldn't know where to begin.

porn has the "step" label on it, and also why "stuck in the washing machine" is a memetically common plot). I don't really agree or like them doing this, but I see the logic. A game is...a game, they're never going to be real, barring the games that actually use IRL footage.

Appeasement is easy, and for now I think Visa/MC is only going after rape/incest content, and not even all of that. TBH I'm a little confused as to why they're doing this, the main logic to their porn regulation is that they're held responsible for the sale of IRL abuse content (this is why incest

*nor that

I don't remember and I can't find it, but I can believe it. The bigger issue is I don't think either AmEx (who doesn't allow adult content at all) or Discover (I'm not sure what their policies are) have any interest in filling the void, not that any foreign companies want to go international.

Unironically, yes. Visa/MC upper management probably couldn't care less about [middle managers/upper management themselves/INSERT EMPLOYEE HERE being overzealous/playing it safe/being ideologically sympathetic/INSERT REASON HERE] but things change quick when there's money being lost to a competitor.

This idea that neoliberalism "reframes citizens and consumers, and the state as a service provider" requires an absurdly stretched definition of neoliberalism to make sense and is wholly unsupported by anything.

You have a pretty reasonable point in the second half (about how social media has been a very poor replacement for the institutions that have been lost, thus weakening democracy), but you make such insane stretches it's a wonder your limbs haven't been ripped off.
