I agree, and perhaps some deep diving to find an older dot matrix printer? Should be supremely hackable. I only have experience with these:
They were extremely durable and low maintenance. Also loud and more stress inducing than a modern SMS notification.
Good times
That was a complete rabbit hole. Thanks.
The only thing possibly more epic would be converting a Linotype to a Linux terminal. It uses hot lead to create type for newspapers, etc.
I was trained to use one as there were so many in use they still have some niche applications for specialty printing.
Anyhow, I call them Satan’s Typewriters and still have small scars from hot lead all over my forearms. And I love technology.
A good film:
Training can be reinforced by opining on said media at work, with friends and online. Feedback from these other models in the form of their own wrong opinions about the media reinforces one’s own model to always be right.
Biological evolution also suffers from survivor bias. ;)
You are absolutely correct that is a major theme, especially in the Foundation books. To be fair, Asimov also buried that point in ponderous prose and scattered it across centuries of book-time.
I think Goyer did the best one could do in adapting Foundation to visual media. He had to invent and re-imagine a lot in order to give continuity and cohesion to a sprawling story. If he had stayed more true to the books, it would have flopped instantly.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Remember that one time Jesus lost his cool? He made a whip and went H.A.M. on some crypto bros in the temple.
So yeah….
If they won’t learn on their own, they must be taught.
Perfect, that is so fair. Please do not tell me which park or how to recognize you. It wouldn’t be sporting otherwise!
‘Standing’ is usually just a way for judges to block or promote hearing of cases. It is very arbitrary and squishy.
Due to her previous crimes and involvement in the justice system, followed by her ‘career’ as a ‘public figure’ centered around these issues, a judge can safely grant standing if they feel like doing so.
Thank you for introducing me to the term ‘thundercunt’. It has me thinking of cosplay ideas.
However, Siri and notifications volume is controlled separately from media volume on iOS. You can just turn it down.
You can also set a repeating reminder to call Apple a bunch of throbbing thundercunts, perhaps weekly? Which is still a very important thing to do.
Grogu is a MacGuffin, not an actual character.
Fight me.
Or they have an epiphany and realize they have, perhaps not ‘fuck you’ money, but at least ‘bite me’ money. Then they sit in a row boat and fish or something. Greed is a pathology and we do a favor to those inflicted with it by taking it away faster and faster the more they steal from us.
I have to agree here. Injecting ‘nuance’ is an easy way to derail a discussion so that the obvious harms of a thing get obscured. The discussion devolves into emotional reactions to some aspect of the ‘nuance’ and the original point is lost. And nothing changes, which suits the powers that be just fine.
Nuance is a powerful tool for maintaining the status quo by disrupting the conversation. Leave the nuance to the academics.
Effective messaging campaigns require message discipline and dead simple provocative points repeated endlessly for a generation or two to effect change, usually.
She is a unitary executive
I credit them with the fact we are talking about them.
You have given up before even trying.
Except that they will use Lindsey as a scapegoat in an attempt to make it ok to say fake mean shit about gay people.
Kim Davis is asking the Supremes to reverse the decision that enabled gay marriage nationwide.
These idiots all talk to each other, and they are acting in coordination.
That man ain’t seen pussy in so long, he would throw stones at one.
We do not need to change human nature. We need to figure out more effective ways of countering the relentless skullduggery of rich shitheads.
You are repeating a lazy old trope that encourages inaction and creates the current situation. Human nature is just fine. We all have good parts and bad parts in our nature. Society is defined by how it encourages the better parts and how it manages the worst parts.
We need to figure out how to counter the age old practice of entrenched rich interests using shitty underhanded tactics to undermine effective efforts for marginalized and poverty stricken people to organize and help themselves.
If you look at the history of movements that attempt to build mutual aid networks and actually provide for themselves, you will also find wealthy individuals sowing seeds of destruction. Media and whisper campaigns, using entrenched political advantages, intimidation, and outright assassination are all commonly used methods.
The reason the Black Panthers were so frightening to the powers that be was not because of the armed members that were the only ones shown on TV. The media was careful to avoid mentioning that BP were also working with community groups to provide breakfast programs for school age kids and other community support programs.
The Black Panthers were frightening to the powers that be because they were forming an actual ad hoc government that was intended to meet the needs of the local people the official government would not. This same pattern has been repeated in every situation in recorded history where a marginalized group organized themselves and became a threat through their unity and coordination.
Yes please! I volunteer to be Whitey if it’s a perfoart piece.
