@georgelakoff Agreed, but there's also damn good reason *why* incitement has such a high bar under the first amendment, and why that means that his involvement in J6 may still not be criminally actionable.
@defrisselle @astro_jcm Eh, I bought that it was a meteor; those are common enough. It's just the "extrasolar" claim that was specious.
@kegill Agreed on "smarmy." I don't think I've ever seen someone exude the qualities of a snake-oil salesman more perfectly than him.
It's incredible how quickly I can lose respect for a person when I see them in a cheesy commercial shilling some product.
@jeffjarvis Wait, is the implication here that poutine is a bad thing?
@astro_jcm Ahh, I knew that story screamed bullshit. Do you have a source with a link to a definitive debunk I can attach to my 'told-ya-so's?
@mentallyalex Could be the same effect as cats purring to induce healing. Feel the beat!
domestic violence
PSA, ladies: If he has a domestic violence conviction, don't date him. If he has a domestic violence conviction against you, *definitely* don't date him.
I can't believe anyone needs to hear this.
domestic violence
Judge Judy: "So after he went to jail for domestic violence against you, you got back together?"
Plaintiff: "Yes, your honor."
I'm normally very opposed to victim-blaming, but jeeeeeez. How dumb do you have to be?
(Spoiler alert, he beat her a bunch more times after they got back together because of course he did.)
@frozencat As Google has grown more entrenched and bureaucratic, its products are getting demonstrably worse. With Google being a powerhouse, there are entire industries built around gaming their systems, and those industries finally seem to be winning. The data in search and maps is growing less useful by the day.
And on top of that, Google isn't afraid to monetize every drop of data it can extract from you, and some people find that distasteful.
@smallcircles Right, but people don't want to switch programs when they switch devices. If I have a choice between a great app with no web interface and a decent app with one, I'll choose the latter every time.
And that's before you get to the interoperability. I love being able to set a destination on my PC and then navigate with my phone seamlessly.
@smallcircles Definitely not gonna happen without a web version.

Never in my life would I expected a cybersecurity issue (at least not a non-food safety issue) to result in a food recall
Add this to your risk assessments
@SecurityWriter Really? I also have been using it since its inception (I remember it came as a pre-install on the Half-Life 2 discs). I remember it was a pain in the ass back then, but for the last decade or so, as long as I've launched the game at least once before and I switch Steam to offline mode, I haven't had a problem. Are you playing on Windows?
@SecurityWriter Agreed, but as far as DRM goes, it's top of its class. So seamless, most users don't even realize it's there, and it works offline just fine (most of the time).
What do you mean when you say you don't like the platform?
@SecurityWriter A lot of people complain about Steam having a stranglehold on the industry, but when you see how easy they make it to buy, download, and play games quickly, it really is no wonder.

A leak of #Libertarian Party leadership communications reveals crude remarks – including a talking point from anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theories and discussions of the Colorado Libertarian Party’s collaboration with the GOP – and raises questions about the party’s adherence to Federal Election Commission rules.

Lab partner: How did you manage to set a glass beaker on fire?
Me: It's not science if the fire truck doesn't show up.
LP: Your hair is smoking.
Me: Thanks.
LP: Literally.
