BORK

Watched an online screening of 20 Days in Mariupol a few days ago with a Ukrainian charity I donate to. Cried like a baby, just like the first time I saw it.

It’s not. It’s the guy who tried to kill Trump last night.

As much as I’m wishing for it, you can see him talking to the person next to him well after the shots go off. It looks like he just trips and falls on his face as he gets out of the chair.

I agree 💀

Generally, you’ll see terms like “demographic collapse” instead, but yeah basically.

A lot of people were born during the immediate post-WWII years. Those people are now dying. Cause and effect.

Well, you seem like a delight to be around.

And 90% of logistics is moving heavy things long distances.

I’ve never met a single service person, in both my 10 years in and since, who didn’t have to carry heavy shit. The whole military mindset is “Don’t use a machine to do what human bodies can do with a little effort.”

Confidently incorrect is the best kind of incorrect.

Tell me you a) haven’t paid attention to any modern conflict taking place on earth right now, and b) you’ve never actually done any of it yourself, without telling me.

Grim out here just advertising his alternate accounts now

Sad, when trolls begin to spiral.

I’d love to be a photography professor, but that just might be my desire to have a stable photography gig with a steady paycheck and not having to deal with galleries and critics.

If there’s a BMI exec there and they want to be a complete dick, yup.

Yeah, it would be a fuck you, but what would it get Palestine practically?

No internationally recognized state, so unable to back any issued currency. Unbacked currency won’t be exchangeable in any country’s banks. Palestinians stuck with useless paper they can’t spend on anything, while their govt spends resources it doesn’t have to print millions of pieces of paper people have no use for.

Stop Israel from murdering them and reinstate their place on the earth. Then we can worry about a fiat currency.

Not necessarily. Parody allows for a “percentage changed vs original work” when deciding whether copyright was infringed. Al was always perfectly within his rights to do the parody, but he’s a stand up guy and tries never to do a song that the original artist didn’t approve.

I’m not Palestinian, so of course take this with a grain of salt, but it just seems to make sense to me to use the currencies of the societies that your people are currently intertwined with, right?

Would forming a new Palestinian currency have any positive impact right now when half the world would refuse to accept it on the basis of there not being a Palestinian state to back said currency?

You can register an email address as “jigglypuff666forever” or whatever nonsense you want. The government certainly doesn’t give a shit, and as long as your family and friends know that a specific string of numbers and letters means “you” in the address book, why does it matter?

If you’re worried about professionalism, I don’t really see much difference between “johnqpublic@email.com” and “greenthumbmcgee@email.com” except one tells the world your full name, and the other just gives away that you like gardening. Both are equally G-rated and acceptable, but only one is a security nightmare.

Maybe common, but not advised. The only place I willingly follow real name protocols in emails is in dedicated work intranets where corporate policy dictates how addresses go.

Anything on the open web is anonymized as much as I can make it. Fake address, fake user details, everything. There is no privacy in systems connected to the unrestricted internet.

I never have anything that can identify my real name in the address. Why make it easy for data scrapers?
