You don't own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

I don't own mine because I pirated them

We are not the same

edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I'm much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction... I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

The guy who discovered the xz attack was also a Microsoft employee, for what it's worth.

It's a real Tumblr post!

I would love to have a Steam Machine. I love my Steam Deck. However... the nature of Steam games, so far, even on the Deck, is that you need to bop "ok" every once in a while, or even enter a username or something for some unwashed-ass game, and that's a lot harder on a form factor that doesn't have a touchscreen...

Wait what am I looking at

This summary from the Independent necessarily cuts out a lot of the nuance of AOC's points - I say "necessarily" because she spoke on Instagram for a full hour - and one thing that she seemed to emphasize - more than the "They don't 100% support Harris either" point - is there there is very little time remaining in the election year to make any changes to the ticket. There are just weeks until the Democratic convention, and Ohio requires the names to be finalized even before that. She also emphasized that any change to the ticket, especially any late change, increases the chance that the presidency will ultimately be decided - if not by the bureaucracy of a swing state, many of which, like Ohio, are Republican-controlled - then by a legal case that goes before the (corrupt, she didn't need to explain, although there were arch eyebrows at this point) Supreme Court, which is just not an ideal situation for democracy.

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.

You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There's only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a "weirdness" perspective, and there's not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

This is the way.

Women are so missed and loved the fact they were down to you and I think they are you and big boy and I can get them out from here in a few days or two weeks until they can start by the way back in a bit I think it will autocomplete me know if I need it or anything or not to unilaterally it is also not the only one of them but it doesn't have a great time for them but they have a great job and I think they're not to be the best pizza ever had a webapp in their power orientation whatever it was a closed practice all day but they are becoming more of the best people who have a lot to go through some things

If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they're eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.

It's all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child's interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that's dull to you is new to them (and everything that's exciting to you, they're often not ready for yet).

Okay, but "never have I ever understood why X" is just turning "never have I ever" into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.

Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.

I mean, what is the background in the second image from?

Thanks!

That cake looks pretty fancy for a racist gag. My understanding is that swastikas are pretty widespread as a generic "holy" decoration in India and Asia. I'm wondering if that image isn't originally from a bakery from that region.

Anyone's allowed to talk, and media companies talk about whatever people will click on.

the human still got the job and was paid for it, he was just saved the hassle of

These are hourly contract roles, so that isn't how it works. "saved the hassle of" - the human lost working hours.
