Looks like I misremembered. Specifically, he tweeted that the Epstein list is as real as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.

Downplaying the existence of a list of highly likely pedophiles doesn’t really put you in a good light. :/ But he never directly defended Epstein, as far as I can see. That’s my error.

I believe it’s heavily implied due to his defense of Epstein.

Sure. People can have a mature discussion about real life events. But when you make fantasy stories about children having sex that’s a fantasy.

You’re making a fantasy. You’re writing characters In a fantasy world and having them do this very inappropriate thing. And what makes it weirder is that the writer isn’t a child, he’s an old man. It’s creepy.

And isn’t that supposed to be the not creepy part of the book?

Sure.

There’s also choosing to put that into a book. Choosing to put that in a story. Thinking about the psychology of a sexually abused child and thinking “this would go well into my book.”

Oh shoot heck dang, time to fire this up!

Yeah I’ve been waiting until it’s updates stop breaking backwards compatibility. It’s sounding better and better as time goes on.

Translation: “I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day.”

So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn’t that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you’re hosting?)

What a mental image that is.

I didn’t say it was cheap, lol. I said it’s where you can buy music.

Deezer, Qobuz, and Bandcamp. Between those three you should have everything.

Vesktop is great. It even has plugins for youtube adblock and dearrow. For privacy peeps you can also enable the SilentTyping to hide when you are typing and ReplaceGoogleSearch if you want to use a different search engine.

Not like that.

Counter Strike Source and other old school LAN games.

Then invite friends over and pass the drive around so they can all install games and you can have a LAN party.

Yeah, it’s written in English, which is read left to right.

In the image attached to the post.

It bothers me that the graphic lists red-then-blue but there text lists blue-then-red. It’s inconsistent to how we read the information and makes it confusing to process.

…like gerrymandering

I don’t understand this.

If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There’s more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it’s something I’ve seen before them I’m rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it’s good enough that it’ll rope me in.

Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it’s not pulling you in? It’s just background noise? Then why isn’t it a podcast or something?

If you’re ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you’re not in? It feels… like something just above brainrot. Like it’s not rotting you, but either it’s not engaging or it’s just background noise (with an unused visual component)

Yes, but this is Win XP not Win 7. Edit: I suppose there backups could have had both 7 and XP.

So what can you do with this, run custom-burned DVDs? I’m used to modern consoles with menus and USB ports that can run games of off drives. I don’t even remember if the ps2 has a USB port.

Yeah I have a kobo. You can bypass creating an account and just use calibre. No need to install something that isn’t stock.
