Putting a collar on a wild animal to protect it from being shot is a pretty pathetic attempt at protecting something you care about.

I’d put a high vis jacket on my kids, but I wouldn’t then send them off to play in traffic.

Yeah definitely outdated and flat racist at parts (especially when you learn how little of it actually happened), but it’s an incredible looking film especially when you realize the time it was made.

Check out hackaday maybe? It’s primarily hobbyist stuff, but they’ve been peppering in some original pieces about tech innovations and trends.

At the very least, nobody is trying to sell you anything.

You do understand that there are thousands of comments on these posts and they’re selecting 10 or so to write an article, right? Do you think cherry picking 10 people who are upset illustrates any kind of trend? Can’t you see how this article is disingenuous ?

But the sample size is 15 people. Do you trust cherry picking 15 people out of thousands a good way to judge national trends?

one Trump-supporting Truth Social user wrote in response to Trump’s announcement.

but numerous commenters spoke out

One user, identified as @thompmark78,

A user with “Patriot. America First” in their bio

@Dbn281977, another user who frequently shares Trump’s content

Another user, who posts in favor of Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and is identified as @Omi17,

A self-proclaimed Trump voter identified as @lutherbh1 complained about another aspect of Trump’s transition.

So we’re talking about maybe 15 people tops? I used to read these kinds of stories and tell myself that we were reaching the “find out” stage or whatever, but this is absolutely not a story. If it referenced any kind of poll data or wider reaching metric than reading a handful of tweets, there might be reason to hope, but as it stands, this is a nothingburger story that just gives you 15 minutes of feeling like there’s justice in the world.

Is DDWRT still a thing?

If he was, he made no effort to tell me what that was, so that’s on him.

Not really? It was his first time DMing. He was doing a homebrew story. Actually Foundry, not DnD. It was my first time playing and I was really struggling with it. I wasn’t a fan of where the party was taking it and each session was basically wandering aimlessly through a cave and repeating my only attack (sling a rock) at whatever monsters we found. I let him know that I wasn’t enjoying it and there wasn’t a lot for my character to do and he just linked me to the rules website.

I asked for advice on Lemmy, and they suggested I ask for like a 15 minute out of character period at the start of next session to express what our goals were in the game. That was scheduled for the session that I ultimately bailed on.

I got a long string of texts the next morning about how I don’t respect him and never respected him and a lot of other shit. I dunno.

Last year.

I canceled on the biweekly DnD session because it was scheduled for Halloween and I had plans. Told him a little last minute (day before when I realized).

Dude torpedoed our 10 year friendship over that.

Yeah. Can’t tell you the number of times recently I’ve tried to pull up a video from the past and couldn’t find it. Either removed or just impossible to search for.

I’ve got a YouTube playlist that gets downloaded to my server every week just in case

Don’t let this guy watch Kangaroo Jack.

You could also argue that if even if you’re not self-hosting (i.e. renting server hardware from a 3rd party), your data is still in a siloed environment. While it may be accessible by law enforcement if you are targeted specifically, it’s unlikely to be dragnetted like the data collected from popular apps.

Oh. I was looking in the article itself.
