Went from salting our hashes to salting or posts

Damn… reality needs to stop making my Uncle Ted right about things…

Probably going to need to search for communities that prioritize privacy and use crypto currencies to keep their transactions private instead of searching for crypto currency communities directly.

I think this election will show a slow realignment of Arabs and Muslims toward Republicans.

Probably going to be a line between Arabs/Muslims who feel economically secure and those who don’t. The racism and Islamaphobia are pretty well entrenched to the point of being foundational in the US right and I don’t think that’s ever going to change.

If its not economic what actually is there to attract Muslim or Arab voters to the Republican party or American conservatism?

They could have hand picked the most friendly, least controversial speaker

Pretty sure I heard the speaker give their speech on some other outlet and it was pretty tame and lib. The speaker already was friendly uncontroversial.

Depends on the store.

Your non chain store that has a loyalty program, probably doesn’t have the interest or capital to pay some third party to manage the data collection and analysis to try to direct market things to you.

Worked at a co-op grocery store for a while. The “owners” could use their owner number to keep track of their purchases to count towards their patronage refund amount and it also allowed some limited ability to look at full transaction information to deal with misrings, returns without recipts, etc. in the decade that I worked there, there was no effort or interest (even though the people running the coop at the highest level were definitely “business goober” types) to try to use the info for direct marketing or to sell to a data broker.

Funny… either Putin is a coldblooded calculating master manipulator or a bumbling incompetent stumbling through one embarrassment to the next. I guess it just depends on which day of the week it is.

I-am-very-smart: Ukrainian sources “claim” that Russian missiles struck many places in Ukraine. There are no Russian sources regarding this claim. Therefore I conclude that the missile attack didn’t happen.

I-am-very-smart: Why yes, my brain is completely smooth, very aerodynamic!

It would instantly de-fed from all the cool people, all the shitty leminitors probably would be reabsorbed back into fed-Reddit and those Reddit clone lemmy comms would die.

“Anti-slave owner action is back on the menu comrades!”

I’d say its time to disengage from the conversation.

Having the conversations and sticking to your points is good and all but they didn’t come to their opinions based on “facts and logic” so you’re not going to facts and logic them into a different opinion.

Possibly try to pay attention to when your friend has gotten to the point in the conversation that they’ve effectively shut down and wind down the conversation when it gets to that point. Talk about something else, everybody goes outside and touches grass, or just call it a day.

See that parachute over there folks? Its rigged! Rigged I tell ya. Don’t trust it. If I jump out of a plane with that 'chute on and fall to the ground, to my untimely demise, it would be because it was rigged.

Not sure which was first , the Atari 1600(?) PAC-Man or Pole Position.

Unless both products had the same amount of sales and generates the same amount of revenue, the lowest seller with the lowest margin would be cut.

If there’s a replacement product somewhere it might be brought in and the cycle would start again OR the shelf space of the “winner” would increase to take over the now empty spot if the products were shelved in the same set.

Its very odd how there’s always noise but you never notice it until its actually quiet.

No bugs, no fans, no vehicles in the distance, no dripping water, no birds chirping, no breeze… nothing.

It almost feels like a physical presence, this lack of sound.

Like walking from a hot room into a cold room, or suddenly feeling a huge gust of wind when the air was still moments before.

I absolutely don’t trust parking my car under this.

That would be funny if all the justices got got by this. Just having the SC have zero justices on the bench for any amount of time would be a funny thing to happen while I’m alive.

Most of the stuff is in sealed and tamper evident containers, so at the very least, we’d know something was up before trying to use anything.
