I spend an inordinate amount of time moving files around in Drive using what has to be one of the worst ways to move around and organize files. It was like their design goal was 'Microsoft, but make less useful'

Don't know, I'd moved away by then, but it was certainly the case in the Mike Brown protests. During COVID the cops here in SoCal seemed almost allergic to the idea of wearing masks.

Not the time for 'thoughts and prayers' my dude. ICE dgaf about words or laws.

Just a note of caution. Be sure to review state and local laws around this. In many places (like California) it's a misdemeanor to do this but may be a felony other places (Missouri has charged this as assault on a peace officer before)

My argument would be that it is sane washing because it's taking a very fringe movement and basically positioning them as something that is on the rise, it's normalizing. It's also pandering to both Elon Musk and a big Trump donor in Peter Thiel who are bank rolling this garbage.

"The "great replacement" is a racist concept, promoted by at least one Natal Con speaker, that populations in majority-white nations are deliberately being "replaced" by nonwhite immigrants." Yup, no reason people might call attendees Nazis....

"Birth rate declines have also been prominent tropes for white supremacist mass shooters, including the shooter who killed 51 Muslim people and wounded 40 others at two mosques in New Zealand in 2019." Now why would anyone would think nazism has anything to do with these dorks?

"Posobiec marched in and promoted demonstrations in Poland that included antisemitic, neo-fascist groups chanting support for "white Poland." No Nazi shit here, just normal people doing normal things...

Maybe it's just this one guy? Nope. "[Natal Con] also featured speakers such as Jack Posobiec, a hard-right political operative who first gained notoriety after spreading the Pizzagate conspiracy theory... Posobiec is close to the Trump administration and has used antisemitic memes on social media."

"Keenan is one of multiple Natal Con speakers published by Passage Publishing...which sells books arguing Black people are inherently more criminal and less intelligent than white people. Passage Publishing's founder, Jonathan Keeperman, both spoke at and sponsored this year's Natal Con."

NPR, what the actual fuck are you doing? "To go and start calling a whole crowd of people Nazis seemed a rather odd thing to do," -Natal Con speaker Bryan Caplan, a George Mason University economics professor and bestselling author. Maybe there's a reason for people calling the attendees Nazi's?

There was a place in St. Louis called Pi's that had a pizza like this, unfortunately they went out of business.... But yes, it is a very tasty pizza.

You say that now, but my tech-bro funder friend who dropped out of Stanford after his trust fund vested told me that copyright doesn't apply to Kickstarters or NFTs so please back my NFT RPG Kickstarter, Eclipse Phase 3e: We got rid of the woke.

Hardly surprising. Newsom likes money more than his own principles.

Also, scientists don't just take something as gospel we tend to test and retest it every so often. So fluoride still seems to work pretty well in small doses www.frontiersin.org/journals/ora...
