While I can believe that some of the men were of the impression that it was part of a roleplay of some sort if told so by the husband, the simple thing is that she did not consent. It’s rape.

There is no situation in which the decision of consent can be transferred to anyone else.

Seems like a good idea. It’s not like any cars or busses actually drive there, being all stuck in congestion anyway.

It’s the next step in the narcissist prayer.

Next week they’ll blame it on someone else, but you need bear with them; they’re a little slow.

Despite being a shitty president and an overall fool, he actually had a way with words. Remember 2017?

>Former President George W. Bush reportedly thought President Trump’s inauguration speech “was some weird shit.”

Here’s a list… still not sure if it is everyone.

I understand Germany tightening their borders, but this is the wrong reasoning and wrong approach. They’ll regret it in ten years time.

I’m not at all sure he can play “tough”. It’s a lot easier to do when not actually facing the opponent. I predict that he’ll attempt to make a joke of it all and complain about something irrelevant. Unless of course he’s all drugged up. Then nobody can predict how fucking weird he’s going to be.

Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.

Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.

Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.

It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.

I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).

So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…

Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.

If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.

Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.

Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.

Yes. Linux Mint works “straight out of the box”.

It comes with a preinstalled browser (Firefox), so if you only use your computer for online stuff, then you dont need to do anything at all. Just use it.

The only technical thing you might want to do is to enter the WiFi password and find the software manager to install any additional apps you need.If you can install apps on your phone, then you can also install apps on Linux Mint.

I actually found that it was a lot easier to install Mint than setting up a new Windows pc. The most difficult part was using a windows pc to download it and making a bootable USB stick. Your friend can help you with that or you can follow a guide.

I have had zero issues and I have never written a single command line. It just works.

Nobody asked him to run in 2016… he only did because he thought he could hustle the donation process to pay back his debts to Russia, but then the whole of GOP decided to back him, because who else could they unite on?

GOP is a coalition of people who can only find common ground with others on the absolutely lowest common denominator. Trump is just that. The uninvited but seemingly popular stranger at a party where everyone hates each other.

The look on his face when he won… He never intended to win. Now he has to, because he fucked up, and will need the power to dodge the consequences…

If Democrats win it is clear that the GOP party is fucking over. They might actually break up into different directions if they lose hard enough.

Look at this Sharpie. Donald Trump literally thought he could draw what the weather had been according to himself.

With these options, the only way I could enjoy the flight is by playing the Uno reverse card: I’m going to make each and every one of them regret flying in the same plane as me.

He needed a crowd or what?

Let him. He has destroyed everything and anyone that he has ever been close to. Let him mingle with the Nazi and KKK as well…

If he manages to encourage them to do stupid shit that’ll land them in prison, just like anyone else who supported or worked for him, I’ll be grateful for his service, though it’s through the most backwards way.

Hopefully he’s going to make America great again by absorbing all the shit and letting democracy wring it out like a shitty orange sponge.

Drones are fast as fuck. Is it possible to make a bullet dodging drone? Seems like a software issue/solution.

It’s probably not possible to detect and avoid a bullet, but if it had a randomized flight path it ought to be really difficult to shoot down.

I’m pretty sure Bush junior could fulfill your list all by himself.

It’s may still be a bit of hope. The red notice doesn’t have much backing as I can tell. It also seems like they (Watson and co.) didn’t actually have an idea of what was going on, causing a retrial. However, presenting material from a TV show isn’t a reason to call off a red notice. The actual happenings are basically what the intention of the Japanese trial is supposed to figure out, so convincing the Greenlandic court of his innocence in that is useless.

His reluctantacy to stand trial is also concerning. He dodged the same situation in New Zealand a while back. Personally I don’t know anything more, but at this point I would like to see any kind of evidence for or against him

I guess we’ll have to wait until September to keep up with the case. They’ll have to choose whether to extradit him or not, unless he can call off the red notice in the meantime.

Of course I have sympathy for him and his work but if he did injure others in the process then he must also stand trial for that. Hopefully they (Japan) can just fine him and let it go.

The ads have reached a breaking point.

If I can’t block them, I’m just not watching the YouTube. I’ll never pay.

It used to be funny to link a relevant YouTube clip, but it’s not funny if you have to sit through half a minute of ads just to see something silly.

It’s also not really a long time streaming service like TV channels or netflix etc., because the homemade content sucks in comparison to an actual documentary that I can also watch without ads on other services.

It’s like Google completely misunderstood the point of the service they initially made. Also following a decade of users attempting to “monitize” their fucking crap, you can be sure that there’s nothing worth watching on YouTube that couldn’t have been better presented in a gif or in text.

Then the player is also fucking up lately. Usually if I go there, I’ll check the written description while the ads play, just to see if the content is worth the wait, but nooo… you can’t even do that anymore, because the app will start reloading between the multiple ads and the screen scrolls around and minimizes the description and comments. They’re literally hiding any information on the clip except the title until you’ve watched the ads.

It’s fucking garbage. Enshittified to death.

Repeating: Google, if you’re listening: I’ll never pay for YouTube, no matter how intrusive you make the ads. Enshittification is not encouraging me to pay.

Well, I stand corrected. I guess we’ll need to wait for the ice on the North pole to melt before we can make a more stupid voyage.
