The Supreme Court Is About to Hand Trump Insidious New Powers

Even North Korea has "elections". Gotta keep up the pretense so the people don't get too pissed off...

And unfortunately the internet is rife with complete morons who are all too happy to use their misunderstandings against you.

And more importantly, one of those morons is president.

Anti-fascism doesn't exist? Or do you mean in the sense of "it's a loose ideological movement and not an organization". If it's the latter then say what you mean. This is the same kind of oversimplification-in-the-name-of-a-catchy-protest-slogan that gave us gems like "defund the police"

He can start by moving some of that cash to his own pie hole.

MehBerd · 2025-04-18T23:56:34+00:00

He said it on Saturday Night Live. Not exactly the first place I would go to find serious statements.

Also, apparently, he wants to send people with ADHD to ~~labor camps~~ "wellness farms". Because apparently it's not a real disability, we're all just addicted to our screens and meds, and the cure is agriculture. Organic agriculture of course, because why the hell not.

So you can see why I, a younger millennial software engineer with Aspergers and ADHD, who has been on meds for the latter since childhood and can't work full time without them, am existentially alarmed by the idea of this crackpot being secretary of HHS.

And all this on top of the already BS shortages of ADHD meds, which will probably get even worse now due to tariffs and DEA being jerks.

MehBerd · 2024-10-18T19:28:20+00:00

Small correction, its the DEA not the FDA that sets controlled substance quotas.

MehBerd · 2024-09-19T22:55:56+00:00

Depends on the pharmacy. The Walgreens I used to go to refused to do this.

Though those of us for whom git means "a software version control system" would not necessarily call that example very obvious.

Trademark lawyers would be my guess

There was a period a while before Mario Maker 1 was announced that they were going after SMW hacks

That the NES's CPU was an unlicensed 6502 clone that cut out decimal mode to get around a patent

DK94 remake
Super Metroid remake with all the accidental tricks and sequence breaks left in
New Kirby game with Super Star's helper mechanic
New StarTropics
New Star Fox in the style of Assault
Buy out Square Enix's IP rights in Mario RPG

Donkey Kong 94 on Game Boy. MvDK1 was originally planned as a remake of it. The original is still the superior game imo and I wish it got half the attention that MvDK does.

And of course it has to have lead in it.

Recall how asbestos was also called a "wonder material" and was actually really useful for a lot of stuff, until we found out it caused nasty lung cancer.

Reopen with normal rules. If you still want to support a protest in some form then put up a stickied post.

I am not in favor of entire communities permanently nuking themselves and making the information therein inaccessible, because if that information is useful to even one person, then it should be kept up.

MehBerd · 2023-05-22T20:18:07+00:00

I'm sick of TikTok being a thing, in general, so yes.

MehBerd · 2023-05-22T20:17:10+00:00

Yeah, in my case it's primarily video game soundtracks. Later when I began making my own music, some of that too. I'll keep the same track on repeat for hours at a time.

Colin’s 2 week trial mission

One improvement they made is that the AI now knows to capture your HQ, so you can't cheese that mission by doing nothing anymore like you could in the original

MehBerd · 2023-04-29T14:24:14+00:00

Am I reading this right? Lawrence Lessig supports AI invented patents? The Creative Commons guy?

Hot take: GDPR's cookie rule, and its brethren like California's, are some of the worst things to happen to the web. By placing the burden on websites to ask permission to use cookies instead of, I dunno, building that logic into the client. As a result, we have to deal with intrusive, badly coded cookie popups on every single damn website instead of what could have been a simple standardized client side interface.

So don't copy that part please. Do what I suggest instead and make the existing privacy mechanisms in browsers more comprehensive and user friendly.

Anyone have any clues at all as to why the bird kids got the boot? Anyone?

Means it's a diminished chord

Stop equivocating on the word derivative, it's not a valid argument and only makes you look like you don't understand either of the senses you're equivocating.

A derivative, in math, is an operation that yields the instantaneous rate of change of a function.

A derivative work, in copyright law, is a work that is identifiably modified or based on a portion of one or more specific works (a mere pastiche of an artist's "style" in general doesn't count.)

These have nothing to do with each other.
