[admin mode] after an update yesterday things are a bit sketch, but not due to the updates. Some of our previous maintenance tasks didn't get moved to the new server, and I think we're paying the price for that. Started the tasks, and so it sucked for hours and now should work better again. I've restored the maintenance scripts so it'll automatically do it from now on.
After a decade of neomarxists running companies like Disney and using them to attack and alienate the majority...
It just occurred to me as ironic that neomarxists specifically and intentionally used capitalism to alienate a chunk of the working class.
If it was a 5d chess move to end capitalism that could be brilliant, but these are not smart people so they're doing it with their own stickers all over it. They aren't doing it to prove that capitalism is bad because it causes alienation, they are claiming that their alienation is good because they're neomarxist.
Since their stickers are all over it, it doesn't discredit capitalism and instead discredits neomarxism. Meanwhile, the capitalist companies like Disney are taking hit after hit because alienating your audience is a dumb idea if you want their money.

I've started having a major issue with the term NGO or "non government organization". If most of your funding comes from government, then you're a government organization.
After seeing what usaid was paying for, I now believe a lot of government organizations exist outside of any kind of oversight.
When NGOs use their money to lobby for certain political outcomes, government is paying government to convince government to do what government wants to do.

It's like "we reduced the asbestos in our kids candy products by 50%!"
What do you want, a cookie? There isn't supposed to be asbestos in kids candy!

If we consider the 2 political things:
1. Comments in the bedroom that were recorded and released to the public
2. Support for the most popular political party
The first really isn't anyone's business ever, and the second isn't really anything worth discussing.

Acetone actually works best on glass, it doesn't react with glass at all. Acetone is incompatible with ABS plastic in particular, it totally evaporates ABS. Other plastics tend to be ok but can be clouded or weakened by it.
I used to clean my wife's pipes, and the Isopropyl was only a little better than water in comparison. Acetone basically melts anything in the pipe, you're totally done in minutes, the only scrubbing required is to get the last little bits out.

There is some measure of network effects, and that's why you need to have that critical mass of users, but once you have that critical mass of users so your friends are there, it doesn't matter if a bunch of people who aren't your friends are there.
Hypothetically, if you set up a standalone social network that only contained all the people you talk to and not one person more, then at least for you that is the perfect social network, you don't need anyone else.

For your information, in case you didn't know about it because we only learned about it later on, acetone nail polish remover is insanely good for removing resin from bongs made of compatible materials. Isopropyl basically doesn't do anything in comparison.
You only need a critical mass of people for a platform to be worth using, and it isn't millions. Facebook needs millions or billions of users because they want all the money, but having enough people for a fulfilling feed is enough for most users.
I ended up doing this, and it worked. I really don't understand why though.
Originally, I had my access point going into a switch going into another switch which then went through my power systems ethernet converter to a third switch. That was bringing down my entire network when I did an update. I changed it so that my two switches were connected to the one switch, and everything worked fine after that.
I suppose I could say my network topology is entirely too complicated for a home network, but I'm not going to stop unless I have to LOL.

The veterans are correct, but I think they are also incorrect.
They are correct in that expansionist imperialism isn't romantic or wonderful and fighting for an expansionist empire isn't beautiful or fun, but they are incorrect in that the coming era will not be a peaceful one and so many of the young men who are up and coming are likely going to have to fight at some point or another, or face losing everything they care about.
The Japanese lucked out in that they lost to the Americans, but they could have just as easily lost to the Soviets, and then their descendants wouldn't have had such nice and easy lives, or their ancestors could have chosen not to modernize and build their initial empire, and they could have ended up much earlier getting attacked by the English or other Europeans, living through the century of humiliation of the Chinese did which in many ways was worse than the imperialist wars that followed. The world isn't simple.

Even for the justices who agree with the things that are being stayed here, it's a dangerous game to play which is why I think you're starting to see the liberal justices turn in some cases.
If courts are allowed to just do whatever they want because it's expedient, and the supreme Court can be ignored, then it doesn't matter what your political leanings, the supreme Court becomes irrelevant and the power that these individuals have been granted becomes similarly irrelevant.

I know exactly the last time that I went outside with my friends, because we all knew after that time there was no going back. It was shortly after graduation, and it was like "yeah, this is our last blast. Let's make it count."
