I recall that tencent had like a small stake in Reddit too. Like 10% or something like that. Or am I remembering wrong?

If you haven’t listened to the Behind the Bastards episode on how Reagan and the Christian right absolutely fucked the homosexual community (and indirectly children) by not paying attention to AIDS, you really should.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.

Aka grease pencils but I’ve always known them as China markers.

My phone keeps auto correcting to capitalize China and I just am too lazy to fix it.

When they can, they do. But it’s not always possible.

China markers are perfect for this. I made this move a few years ago to mark my left overs in the fridge.

China markers come off when rubbed intentionally, unlike dry erase that erase with the slightest incidental rub.

Permanent markers can “bake” on in the dishwasher (as can dry erase) where China markers rub off.

For most shots, multiple shots can’t be avoided.

You have to get coverage of the principal actors and unless they are all facing the same way, you always have to get shots in one direction and one shot the other direction.

That was the first Steven King movie I saw when I was a teenager. Messed me up.

I’ve been listening to a lot of TV and movie podcasts. Fake food is often more expensive than real food. Unless there is a good reason, food is more often than not real.

But it’s rarely eaten.

Actors have to do several takes and if they eat in the shot, they have to eat in every shot. A lot of young actors who don’t know often learn this very early in their career to never eat the food because they will forever be sick of it.

I compile my own version of rm so that it doesn’t require the parameter.

Just in case I need to.

Fwiw I’ve actually thought about a dead man’s switch for a while now. When my partner and I were going through end-of-life stuff, having the ability to delete or open things as needed after you’re dead can be important.

I have a rough design in my head where you register various monitors (e.g. checking email, logging into Lemmy, etc) and so long as you reach a specified threshold you’re considered alive.

Build in a duress code or dead code that can be entered by your next of kin, then you got something workable.

For a dead drop like you described in your OP, I agree that instructions to an attorney is probably your best bet. But in the scenario you’re describing, it sounds like having this code won’t be valuable.

If you really have secrets, you shouldn’t have a dead man’s switch.

You should have released it all on day one.

“What makes them keep you alive then?”

It’s not like corporations are going to get punished for killing you regardless.

I’ve started making my own bread and pizza dough. It’s also practice. The more you do it, the faster it takes. You think of ways to make it easier next time.

Costco was having a sale on those heavy duty KitchenAid mixers so I bought it and it makes dough. I’ve recently doubled the recipe and freeze half and make the other half.

Admittedly, a lot of my lessons are learned by reading which assumes you have the time already to read.

That’s a funny way to spell executive bonuses.

The thing that bugged me is that at the end of Season 3, they were legally married. This never got resolved in season 4.

If it got resolved in season 5, I didn’t watch it.

If the police continue to not do their job, hire an attorney (if you can afford one) to go with you. The attorney doesn’t even need to do anything except be a witness.

They tell you there’s nothing they can do because they don’t want to be bothered. And they don’t want their stats to go up.

Having an attorney present bumps it up to “being fucked by court duty is worse than doing some paperwork”. Likely nothing they can do but having the paper trail of a stalking report will help YOU should the stalker escalate.

A lot of people don’t realize that the wifi that they are used to is artificially made. The best wifi and the most ethical wifi is grown naturally underground and is harvested by established naturalists that won’t harm the ecosystem by harvesting too early or too much.

I’m here hoping to any god that is watching that Project 2025 becomes something like a dog catching the car situation. The Republicans are the dogs and now they are arguing amongst themselves what to do with the car.

I’m planning as if Project 2025 goes forward. If civil war is in my lifetime, the shots will start with the alt-right.

There is a quote that’s been ringing through my head ever since the CEO murder: “Those who make peaceful reform impossible make violent revolution inevitable.”

The Republicans have made any meaningful reform impossible through half-assed negotiations, bad faith arguments, and “fEeLiNgS pOlItIcS” over the last 50 years.

Democrats like AOC and politicians like Bernie are the acute minority. The DNC has moved more toward the right and given workers the middle finger.

Almost every regulatory body has been captured. The overturn of the Chevron doctrine made the rest completely powerless. We now have a fucking lunatic whispering into Trump’s ear to remove accident reporting requirements for his shitty cars. We will have an anti-vaxer running the CDC, a supplement pushing hack running Medicare, and a man who overpaid for Twitter running the fucking “Department of Government Efficacy.”

This is the tip of the iceberg. They aren’t even in office yet and they are already stirring shit.

Behind the Bastards covers a few of them. IIRC Dr. Oz grew up poor and went to medical school on scholarship.

He’s not fuck you money rich like Bezos or Musk, both of which lucked into the birth lottery.

Though tbf, Oz got rich by scamming people out of their money with endorsing supplements that don’t work.

Tbf, the number of posts on shit post pretty much outnumber the other communities.

Even the Linux and Star Trek ones.
