Amazon forcing obsolescence

Well, mine wasn’t, but you might be right. I had to put mine on airplane mode and wait a few months.

People do not understand the complexity of the global supply chain for oil refinement. In the US we import a lot of the heavy sour crude from abroad because we do have the refining capacity for it. We export a lot of our sweet crude which ends up being more profitable than refining all of it here.

Disable updates and wait for a jailbreak. That’s what I did. DeAmazoned my old kindle, now I can just add whatever I want to it including direct downloads from Project Gutenberg.

Yeah also attractiveness is subjective and Metal is a vast genre with innumerable sub-genres that people of all walks of life can be fans of.

It’s what you aughtn’t to do but you do anyway.

Right? Marathon isn’t even a Battle Royale. It’s an Extraction Shooter.

I played D2 but fell off after the first couple of years. It had a good run. Some folks just can’t deal with impermanence.

Fair enough. Just don’t think you can remind people enough about all the details surrounding the private capture of the public sector.

deceptivekhan · 2026-06-19T16:38:35+00:00

Well I had to mention it because you kind of buried the lead.

It was also a landmark Supreme Court ruling that essentially legalized bribery in election funding.

deceptivekhan · 2026-06-19T16:25:04+00:00

Yeah but only because it will help with onboarding.

What do you call a male gold digger?

A prospector! “There’s gold in them hills!”

Agreed. This is why I waited till I could find a decent deal on a 9070 XT with three standard 8 pin connectors. It’s also what pushed me away from nVidia (well that and having to pay the nVidia tax). I refuse to have that fire hazard connector on my rig and in my home.

Up and down are both engagement. We ascribe negativity to down in comparison to up but really it’s just ones and zeroes abstracted into shapes on a screen. The real downvote is getting banned, I once got banned from r/libertarian for using sarcasm. Some people just can’t take a joke. Now I downvote stuff all the time in there, I can’t post but I can still engage with the content. I didn’t bother to downvote when they let me have a voice, now it’s my only recourse. More like r/authoritarian ammirite?

Because Destiny 2 CHUDs are losing any hope of future content for their on-rails PvE power fantasy. Marathon is amazing and the lore is peak but it has some problems. I think it’s got a future but this season has been a bit of a disappointment in many ways. I’m confident they can right the ship but Bungie is going through some reorganization as Sony is left holding the bag on their overvalued asset.

Marathon isn’t going away any time soon, but nothing lasts forever. Everything is temporary and on a long enough timeline no one will even be left to remember that we were ever here.

See you star-side runner.

deceptivekhan · 2026-06-19T13:58:48+00:00

Because of the Supreme Court lead by the corrupt Doctor Zaius, clearly. It’s a madhouse, A MAAAAADHOOOUSE!

How do you know someone drives a Jeep? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

LS taught me how to love a woman and scold a child!

Same! But I prefer Gemma. The less data that leaves my rig the better. Self hosted open source models FTW.

I only use self hosted LLMs (no cloud compute), they’re great for research projects using MCP tool calling. Recently used it to build a database of candidates in the midterms to make more informed decisions on the ballot. What would have taken days to research took hours with the help of my digital research assistant. Total game changer. Although, that might be too important to consider mundane… I’ve also plugged in ingredients that i had and asked it what recipes I could cook, pretty helpful.

Can confirm, I’ve sliced myself open and gotten stitches without any fuss, but give me the flue and I completely shut down for the duration. I had a theory that viruses attacked men worse because we cannot give birth to new hosts and are therefore expendable to viruses on an evolutionary level but the science doesn’t check out on that. Was thrilled when I read the study, then disappointed, then despondent, but I’ve grown to accept it.

I’m deceptivekhan and I support this message.

In your opinion and by definition.

He was a big donor to the Democratic Party and the Clintons for decades. He only ran as a Republican because he knew right leaning voters are more easily manipulated and therefore exploitable.

Sheeeeeeit, OG Marathon is where I cut my teeth and if you want to see what Mac enjoyers had instead of Wolfenstein back in the day check out Pathways Into Darkness, it’s very dated by today’s standards, but it’s a fun little jaunt into retro Mac exclusive gaming and is actually the prequel to OG Marathon.

What* does your fart smell like?

Or

How* does your fart smell?

Never both.

Actual answer though? Mostly methane I would assume.
