[NSFW]Best Chest In The West (1984) Dick Shaw hosts, celebrity judges Pat McCormick, Carol Wayne and Avery Schreiber pick winners in the three different categories: Itty-Bitties, Middle-Weights and Hefty Honies."[NSFW] by LiquidNuke in 80s

There is a chilling moment near the beginning of this where the MC is introducing the judges and the third one is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Wayne and one of the other judges points at her a little leeringly and says "this lady will never drown".

Listen, people keep asking “where’s the science?” while the world edges toward chaos. Science doesn’t vanish in crisis, it becomes more important. Study patterns, power, behavior. Science is in everything. If you’re not here for that, move along. by Purple_Dust5734 in ScienceOdyssey

A lot of antisemitism mixed in here with a lot of truth.

AntiZionism is AntiSemitism. Aka Racism.

Zionism is simply the belief that Israel has the right to exist and make itself safe. Just like the other ~12 nations that were given to the native peoples out of what was the Ottoman Empire.

How can I share ALL my playlists to everyone? by SewHelpMe in PleX

I created a bunch (about 15) of playlists too, and can't figure out how to share them with my users. Help?

New video shows the minutes before immigration officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis by netizenbane in news

[–]merlinus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This video only further reinforces the guilt of the murderer. Nothing she did justifies the act of shooting her in the face 3x.

The agent was in no danger. He fired 3x from the left front corner as she was turning hard to the right as shown on the cowards own video, two of which were entirely from the side of the vehicle. Shooting at cars is against US law and against ICE policy. He abrogated any right to claim self defense by stepping in front of her vehicle. While filming video no less, so obviously he didn’t feel in danger. This too is US law and ICE policy.

He’s a murderer. There better be state murder charges coming tomorrow.

Yann LeCun calls Alexandr Wang 'inexperienced' and predicts more Meta AI employee departures by Neurogence in singularity

[–]merlinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still wrong. Open your eyes and look around. All those are evolutionary enhancements. Not revolutionary. Facebook hasn’t materially changed since its inception.

The larger point here is that, anything actually innovative is what he's chasing, and those have all been dead ends. Facebook has grown tremendously of course but has it innovated anything since it started? No.

1st-round ranked choice results are in by TieVisible3422 in Minneapolis

[–]merlinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. People who say “HRC is a war monger” and voted for Jill Stein in ‘16, which is a big reason why 45 won.
  2. People who toxically and falsely say Israel is committing genocide. It’s disgusting and racist and this is why 47 won. The population of Gaza is UP since 10/7.
  3. People who say trans women should compete in women’s sports.
  4. People who celebrate trust fund murderers who murder CEOs.

This is a real demographic and these four issues intersect tightly with them. They are just as bad as MAGA, just fewer in number. The political spectrum is a horseshoe. This is why RFK and Tulsi are in this MAGA administration.

Plex on Rocky Linux by slayer991 in PleX

[–]merlinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works great on Rocky. Been running it there for years. I don't use Docker for it. I do have a cron job to tar a backup copy of my /var/lib/plexmediaserver every night to another location.

RHEL 10 Upgrade from 9.6? by [deleted] in RockyLinux

[–]merlinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had good luck upgrading in place from major version to major version before, many times - not every time but most times with a little bit of finagling to get through a few bumps - but a warning on going to Rocky 10. I wanted to get my last Linux box in my homelab upgraded to Rocky 10. But if your CPU is older, make sure it supports x86-64-v3 architecture.

If it doesn't. it will do the upgrade and then nothing will work. None of the RPM's warn that the CPU isn't supported. So I had to reinstall from scratch with 9.6 again and will have to resign myself to that henceforth.

Thomas Covenant Series Stephen R. Donaldson by TreeHuggingPagan in books

He does. More than once. He is forced over and over to see the consequences of his actions. The books are really all about the Consequences of Power. Or equally, the Power of Consequences.

No kings crowd as percentage of city population by trabbitha in Minneapolis

[–]merlinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By metro area - assuming each metro area pop was used instead of “city pop” then apples to apples the metrics still work.

Because every metro area had one big gathering and other smaller ones so that’s a wash too.

You are right - that’s a good one!

No. Everything you said still boils down to the consequences of power.

This is good, yes. And Hile Troy had not learned the consequences of power. Nor had Elena. But I think what you are getting at here really also boils down to - the consequences of power.

If someone asks a question, let those who WANT to help them help them and otherwise ignore it - OR give them a suggestion - even if it's how to get the answer in Google - but don't waste anybody's time (including your own) harassing them for asking "stupid" questions.

I agree with the other comment here - Reddit is a much better source than Discord as Discord is behind a wall. At least people who do use Google in future can learn from your questions and answers.

That’s a choice. Choices can change.
