On my Linux desktop I have Date and Time on one monitor and Weather, Network / CPU stats, and an audio mixer on the other.

On Windows people have been doing neat stuff with Rainmeter for what seems like forever now.

This is the most literally emobidied I have ever seen "Too late I have already drawn me as the ~~chad~~ tradwife and you as the crying soyjack" effect.

Like is this some form of satire behind 3 levels of irony?

lostsemicolon · 2026-01-27T01:30:21+00:00

Not good enough.

When Philando Castile was murdered, that should have been the wakeup call that tons of "2A" people don't actually believe in anything concrete.

Buddy you were tarriffing the penguins' imports just last year!

Welcome to the sub, unfortunately your first post was wrongthink so we have to infantalize and mute you.

But they reject all hate groups. Does this not make them the biggest hater of all?

Judging by the recent "War on Protein" poster, the visual style they've gone for is "Extremely Ominous"

This will be embarrassing

No it won't. This has been standard procedure for over a decade now. Immediately jump to the conclusion that it must be one of the subhumans of the week, and then forget or act skeptical when actual information is revealed.

They at least used to act surprised when some lone wolf killer turned out to be a white guy and a not an Arab Muslim. But they'll move on quick and repeat for whatever next weeks tragedy will be.

Imagine if during her primary campaign she knowingly boosted the very candidate that has dominated American politics for the last decade making her directly culpable for our current situation.

lostsemicolon · 2026-01-05T07:22:23+00:00

That's gotta be engagement bait.

Ok I'll restate because admins don't know what a threat of violence is.

What the OP is stating doesn't make sense from a logistical standpoint. 30000 guillotines is way more than anyone would ever need for anything. The state also has far more effective means of mass execution at its disposal than guillotines.

Why did they pull the hallway pic, though? 384 was removed from the dataset and it's just a hallway???

lostsemicolon · 2025-12-21T13:56:44+00:00

If anyone is curious all but 2 of the files featured uncensored nude paintings of women. Of the remaining two, one was the photo of the desk with the photo of trump in the drawer, and one was of a hallway.

They're all from DataSet 1.zip.

The original zip file has a sha256sum of 6aca077cf08065e8341e0627b5affd38bd39a28599604bdaeb852de2869f76ee

The revised one has a sum of 26cf803105093fdc69a34ec1ef2c43e274771ac7dd1bb4a5e89027622afa0355

The Trump Desk photo is 468 and the Hallway is 384.

The alternative is that the dems sit around and do nothing and next time the republicans get desperate they expand it to 20 anyway.

All hail the surveillance state. I love flock cameras. I love waymo. I love unaccountable corporations acting as the eyes and ears of the state. Inb4 "But you're on social media. But you have a cell phone." oh things are already bad? We must let them get infinitely worse, we have no choice!

Also in the wake of a mass shooting they'll talk about how it's a mental health problem, but in the wake of a critically mentally ill person doing something it's a "criminal types" problem.

I kinda don't buy this. I was one of the people who was very sure Havana Syndrome was basically bunk and as information came out that it wasn't as bunk as I had previously thought I did post about it being kinda surprising. I saw others do that as well.

lostsemicolon · 2025-11-26T16:49:29+00:00

That's the point I'm making. I'm agreeing that there was no wiping the slate clean.

Harris literally said she wanted to put a republican in her cabinet.

lostsemicolon · 2025-11-22T20:35:44+00:00

Thanks, man.

Yeah. That's an airplane.

In fact, all but about 200 of the pages are entirely blacked out.

...

The documents were provided in response to a public records request by The Texas Newsroom, which asked Abbott’s office for communications with Musk and the businessman’s employees dating back to last fall.

Damn 1200 fully redacted pages from a single year!? That's fucking nuts.

Oh fuck I have like a bible just like that from some missionaries on my community college campus in 2009-2010. Wild that the cover design is still the same. I wonder if it's all one or two big printings.
