    I wish it was so simple. Really it should be. A word can mean any number of things based on context or inflection but now i have to really be careful as to not offend. I feel like that’s a created thing.

    Obviously i say things in a friendly way or in a mean way and I feel like we are just going the “you can’t say that word” route. When it’s not the word, it’s the context.

    As such, yes anyone who finds that picture offensive falls into that group. It was also a great movie. Let’s dissect Spaceballs for racism next!


  • I’ve used Pihole for so long… I bought the original pi as a curiosity but Pihole was best use of it.

    Here is the problem though, which i assume applies to all adblockers: everything is now “sponsored links”. Google, Amazon, etc. They are of course blocked which is getting really frustrating.

    So what do we do now? Is there a way to just send fake telemetry? Saw VLANs mentioned. Is that the way? I’m getting older and life gets busier and it’s harder for me to keep up on this.


  • True. I don’t really know what people listen to these days but my once best friend went into a spiel regarding the whole bud light issue and it was so absurd I just finally said hey you have some major insecurity issues. And left.

    Like trans people just popped up out of nowhere… victims of the liberal media!

    But I do honestly believe insecurity is a large driver of hate. Hey i like you whoever you are as long as you aren’t being an asshole. That’s pretty much as far as my judgment goes. Pretty simple!


  • They don’t care really. As has been my experience anyway.

    I once had my car window smashed, a mix of gear taken…some was expensive, some was personal to me. I felt violated. Called the police, explained, gave S/Ns to what I could, told them exactly who did it. He didn’t give a shit. Actually made me feel like I was wasting his time. I think Seinfeld covered this…

    “We’ll let you know if we find anything” “Do you ever find anything?” “No”

    But oh, my reg is out of date and the plate scanner picked it up? Boom, they really kick it into gear. So that’s $130… i could just go take care of the tags immediately with a friendly warning but now don’t even want to. And in the end I end up pretty fucked.

    If only they put that effort into other things I just might have gotten my linear power amps back. Props to anyone who knows that product.
