Hard to believe, but there are books written after 2005, we could check those out, too.

Just like we could acknowledge that there's TV shows that aren't A:TLA.

Some of which aren't even kids cartoons (though I admit that asking a millennial to engage with age-appropriate media is going too far).

Yes, Pratchett is Actually Good™ and I'm not even pretending like I live up to my own ideals here.

But the point remains: The issue with slavishly clinging to
>>>MEDIA I GREW UP ON WHICH REFUSE TO EVER LET GO<<<
for all eternity is NOT that we chose the wrong properties.

Clinging to Discworld 20 years after you first read those books isn't any more mature than clinging to Harry Potter.

I am going to solve the "have young Republicans always been like this" discourse in one sentence: While it has long been possible to correctly identify their racism, either because you were politically educated or racially minoritized, they are now racist in a way that even white liberals can tell.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

the most annoying people in the world are mad at this take, but not a single one of them can point to when republicans were ever good.

pretty apparent that there's a strain of liberal who thinks that republicans only became bad under Trump.

Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer · 1d

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

There is a database, located somewhere in New Jersey. I happen to know where it is, but not the backup system(s).

This database processes all of the paychecks sent out by ADP. If this database breaks, millions of people in the US don’t get paid. It does not break, or people cannot buy food.

PS the only way to safely run any version of Windows older than the most recent version of Windows 10 is to disconnect it from the Internet.

Period.

Old versions of Windows should never be allowed online, ever.

Your system might never be exploited, but given how many people are reluctant to move to Windows 11 or stand to reason hackers will zero in on Windows 10 as a target rich environment.

It's not a good gamble. Choose one of the above options quickly, please.

Those are all of your viable options.

Running Windows 10 without support IS NOT a viable option (or any older Windows version, for that matter).

Without regular updates, Windows 10 will be vulnerable to exploits more easily than other versions.

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

There are several options but here's the short version:

You can extend your support for Windows 10 for an extra year while you go over your options long term, BUT it will require signing up for a Microsoft account even if you take the paid option.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN WINDOWS 10 UNSUPPORTED.

these polls always blow my mind, from just the last few years:

poll showing 66% of americans support gender-affirming care for minors, including 70% of republicans

poll showing over 60% of republicans in kentucky support gender-affirming care for minors

poll showing 56% of americans associate 'woke" with "informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices"

poll showing 67% of americans support trans athletes right to join teams matching their gender identity, including 66% of republicans

I'm still salty over Daft Punk not even getting an Oscar nomination for the Tron Legacy OST.

Even the one place in Hollywood that (badly) pretends to be about the art instead of the commerce... couldn't give a shit about Tron.

Always important to point out that 99% of our idea of what Nazism was like is THE NAZIS' OWN PROPAGANDA.

Nazis were orderly, efficient, dignified & the pinnacle of human physique, because... that's what the Nazis said they were like, and would a Nazi ever lie to us?

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 19h

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

These movies never accomplished anything more than "moderate success over multiple years" which wasn't even enough back in the days of reasonable budgets & sales predictions.

And we've abandoned "reasonable" over a decade ago by now.

Like, YES, I absolutely agree that Tron 3 flopping is probably more due to the sex pest none-actor who ruins every movie he stars in yet inexplicably is being pushed harder than even career-apex Johnny Depp ever was.

But also, like, from Disney's POV? Tron's just bad business. Always was.
