It really is incredible that we have a way now to fund the jobs that can only be created and performed by a select few individuals. We don't need a corporation to create the job for us, someone with a specific skill shows up and society says "yeah we need one of those."

My mind played a record scratch at the end. Just why?

Absolutely, just own up to it. Have the interviewers ask him why that's become his nickname, he can share some background, maybe some anecdotes if he has any. Suddenly, Tampon Tim is a badge of honor.

Can someone PLEASE make a Tampon Tim shirt already??? I'm ready for the "FUCK Joe Biden" and "Say no to the ho" crowd to tell me my shirt is inappropriate around children.

That's the worst part, I agree with his point that we shouldn't have blanket prosecutions...just like we shouldn't have blanket pardons.

I think a good followup would have been "Do you believe it is also possible there are BLM protestors who likewise had the book thrown at them?" Bring it back to the question of why they think their "protest" is more acceptable than the BLM protests.

But it's weird, that didn't feel like a modern Republican interview exchange to me. Yeah he's doing the soundbites but he's actually responding with...logic rather than feelings? Or at least as close to logic as a Republican candidate can get these days.

I dunno about couches but my gaydar went nuclear at that clip.

But of course, he can't be gay, because he didn't want to suck dicks at the age of 8.

the rule where it couldn't be more than 12 characters long

This is the one I don't get. Sure you don't want people putting in an infinitely long password, but I like to have my passwords at around 15 characters. Why are you forcing me to make a less secure password?

Only reason I can think of is storage but even at a massive scale, this is text, paying for that storage would cost as much as a rounding error.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin said he was “shocked to see harsh pictures of soldiers being arrested”, according to Haaretz.

Khaled Mahajna, a lawyer with the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, shared the abuse recounted by two Palestinian detainees. One of them, a journalist, described witnessing rapes of detainees from Gaza inside the Sde Teiman facility, which has been compared to Guantanamo prison.

Another detainee was stripped naked, electrocuted and subjected to sexual abuse, Mahajna said.

“One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying,” the newspaper said.

Stop being so harsh guys, jeez! I'm guessing they wouldn't be shocked to see "harsh" pictures of abused Palestinians.

I installed Bazzite earlier this month as a dual boot and have been very happy with it. A lot of stuff just worked on bootup, haven't installed a single driver, and that's including my AMD GPU, just installed a game, plugged in my controller, and it played. Most games seem to run better than Windows. Fullscreen mode is a lot less annoying to tab out of - there isn't the annoying momentary black screen, tab just happens. OBS seems to finally be on the level of Windows performance, although some of my favorite extensions are Windows-only. That's been something of an annoyance, a lot of stuff is Windows-only, but usually if I Google "[program] Linux" I'll get a workaround or substitute. I still leave Windows installed because of anti-cheat nonsense, but I rarely boot into Windows anymore.

Kind of meandering but that's my experience so far. Overall pretty satisfied.

Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my "training" was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it's a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.
