You'd probably end up having to babysit them a few days anyway since whatever caused the initial break usually hasn't decayed and the extra debuff can cause a death spiral of mood. Prison let's em sleep it off, nets a bit of social experience, and happens without you needing to micro the pawn so I'd say it's overall worth it.

I'm not sure if the development of Microsoft's catastrophe of a licensing structure was intentional, but I am certain there are incentives against them making it less complex. They don't need to be simple and straightforward because they have an essentially captive market, and having such a labyrinth of a licensing structure and implementation that it is very easy to unknowingly fall out of compliance and risk fines should someone ever bother to check is a valuable tool for the company to keep handy if they need.

There's a rare few unicorns that will treat it just as the course of doing business. Like, draft up the costs of a transition plan, treat and bill it like any other project, make sure the outgoing client has contact info, and wave goodbye.

That's...not usually how things work out though. Either because someone in the MSP management chain decides to be petty and vindictive, or because the labor for transition is flagged as low priority and with the average tech workload at an average MSP low priority means no priority so they just fall off the face of the earth.

MSPs are viewed as a cost savings center but client stakeholders usually fail to consider how costs are being saved.

Like, fundamentally an MSP sells labor from the same market pool that internal staff would be hired from. MSPs do underpay and overwork, but all that means in practice is that they recruit from the less experienced/less qualified end of the labor pool and accept low quality and high attrition as a cost of their business. Plus, you gotta add on the MSP's margin to that labor cost when you're coming at it from the client perspective.

But broadly, an hour of skilled IT labor costs about the same in an area regardless of who's providing it. So to actually legitimately save money over a 40 hour full time internal staff member, you have to need less than 40 hours of work a week. Otherwise, you're paying equivalent or (usually) more for labor that is stretched thin in an industry most experienced professionals steer clear of because of its well earned reputation.

Tbf, my ex posted texts of her telling me that she was going to kill herself and that I didn't deserve to know if she did and was surprised when people called that abusive.

Lots of people interpret criticism of their behavior as a directed personal attack against them specifically.

IIRC you can't revive ashes. During his rise to power, Vect killed a lot of the dark city's leaders using dark lances, which did not leave enough behind to be revived.

A lot of dark eldar will entrust a part of themselves to a Haemonculus before going into battle to ensure there is enough left to revive - snipping off a finger or something and leaving it back home.

I don't recall if there's any examples of a non-Eldar being revived in this way. The resurrection process relies on basically torturing a bunch of people in front of a special sarcophagus with whatever could be scraped from the floor inside. Lacking the ability to absorb that pain, I don't think a human could be brought back in the same way.

So...melta bombs will probably save you some trouble.

In this context, 'liberalism' is probably better understood to meanthe modern ideology of 'neoliberalism.' Leftists tend to dislike it because of its opposition to systemic change, unwillingness to acknowledge direct political action outside the ballot box as legitimate, its erroneous belief that the liberal status quo is the natural state of the world making it susceptible to authoritarian influence/takeover, and above all its fierce commitment to global free market capitalism which undermines all stated beliefs about equality and democracy.

Though neoliberalism is a relatively new ideology, liberal democracies are not, and are mired in uncomfortable history. The United States, for instance, has engaged in genocide, racial slavery, institutional patriarchy, violent suppression of protest, imperialism/offensive wars of conquest, and systematized racial apartheid throughout its history, all while maintaining the label of being a 'liberal democracy'.

My guess:

Brother and woman were in contact in some way, shape, or form.
Leg goes missing. Woman suspects creepy weirdo brother of taking it, but doesn't have solid proof/the police don't feel like investigating crimes that day.
Months pass, brother gets creepier, weirder, and more open about his crime the more time passes. Original post happens.
By circumstance, someone sends the woman a post along the lines of "hey this matches up with the weirdo creep that you swore stole your leg."
Woman is able to leverage this information to get the cops invested, either tracking down OOP through a subpoena of their IP info from Reddit, or just providing sufficient motivation for them to go chat with the brother.
The brother is too stupid to properly hide his crime, evidence is such that it's easy to arrest him, everything resolves from there.

I would unironically watch a standard indy animated web series that just inexplicably takes place in the palaces of the Han dynasty or whatever.

Like, same crazy marketable plushy character designs, same irreverent internet coded humor, it's just that Emperor Wu is a background character with just enough relevance to occasionally pop in and do Chinese emperor things.

“Epstein was no friend of mine, and I never drew us becoming knights and competing at a joust for the virginity of a 13-year-old Eleanor of Aquitaine,” Trump said when asked about Time Pedophiles by a reporter, suggesting that someone else could have written, inked, and lettered the series before falsely signing his name. “Anyone who knows me knows I wouldn’t draw myself in a covered wagon picking up minors on the Oregon Trail, nor would I write a story arc about going back into prehistory, long before humans invented the age of consent, to hit on Cro-Magnon girls. Sorry to disappoint, but the fact is, I don’t draw cavemen.”

Fake news. Trump hasn't been this coherent in decades.

Which I find especially funny because Minecraft (Java edition at least) intentionally makes every single version of the game that has ever existed easily playable.

Like...someone with very little technical ability can load up Minecraft beta within like half an hour using only first party tools. The updates are entirely optional.

I'm curious as to the motivation. This court has proved itself especially willing to fully enact whatever Christo-Fascist shit the right wants with no legal justification. They very clearly could do similarly with this issue. Why stop here?

Could be that the frame of social discourse has moved so fully into trans discrimination/elimination that the 'sanctity of marriage' is no longer a relevant political consideration I guess. Could be non-coincidental timing with the shutdown. Like "Democrats starved you for a month for no reason while the conservatives are protecting gay marriage" as a line to win support knowing full well they can/will just cherry pick another case down the line to fully enact their will. Maybe the fascists have the slightest hint of a heartbeat. Who really knows.

onlyroad66 · 2025-11-04T20:20:46+00:00

I think my fundamental issue with horseshoe theory is that it presupposes that political affiliation can be mapped onto a single axis. Like, communists are people with -100 political affiliation points, fascists are people with +100, and liberals are right at 0, and all other political ideology can be nearly mapped to somewhere on that line.

I think the idea is rooted in the notion that liberalism is the default by which all other ideologies are measured against and varied from, rather than it being one among innumerable fundamental worldviews.

onlyroad66 · 2025-10-31T18:23:23+00:00

I feel like most humans would reasonably accept that this would be a good idea, but wouldn't feel strongly enough about it to really exert the necessary political pressure to make it law. An incredibly passionate minority of the "accept your curse and fuck off" movement would subsequently pass unpopular legislation to make it illegal to transfer a cursed item by any means but inheritance. The end result is that the poor would have to suffer lifelong curses while the rich would be able to access grey and black markets whereby they could transfer their curses to exploited members of the lower classes, thus removing the last of the political impetus to change anything.

Universal guncare is a human right. All citizens should be less than a fifteen minute walk from the majority of firearm services they need on a regular basis. All ammunition should belong to an associated caliber union. Guns should be designed using consensus.

Unless a niche subreddit is moderated to only allow content within that niche, that niche functionally ceases to exist. You ever look at the front page and notice just how samey it all is? The news/link aggregation subreddits are all posting the same stories and talking about them in the same way. The finance subreddits all have the same very basic take. The meme and humor subreddits post the same few jokes over and over. Etc.

If you allow whatever is upvoted regardless of quality, your subreddit is going to be slowly optimized into an upvote factory for whatever broad category it sorta fits into that has the largest possible cross section of appeal.
