The sad part is that this likely isn’t even a meme. As time has progressed, there has been more and more evidence pointing to exactly this. He may be able to read on a basic first or second grade “sounding big words out” level, but there is a lot of evidence that he can’t actually read proficiently.

Lmao The Western Journal (who wrote your second article) is an ultracon propaganda mill. It’s no better than a tabloid rag.

My buddy stuck a paper clip in an electrical socket while we were in the cafeteria. Because his cousin had told him it would shoot sparks across the room. All it did was make him scream real loud, then the power to half of the cafeteria went out when the breaker blew.

Another friend “accidentally” stapled his homework to his hand, to try and get out of going to music class. Apparently his plan was to ham it up and go to the nurse instead. The teacher laughed, called him an idiot, and sent him to music class with a band-aid.

Kids have always been fucking stupid. The only difference is that now every kid has an internet-connected camera in their pocket, so their stupidity is more visible.

That was my very first thought. It has all of the indie vibes, but was published by the OG evil tech company.

It was a victim impact statement, not subject to the rules of evidence. The shooter had already been found guilty, and this was an impact statement from the victim’s sister, to sway how the shooter should be sentenced. The victim’s bill of rights says that victims should be allowed to choose the method in which they make an impact statement, and his sister chose the AI video.

I agree that it shouldn’t be admissible as evidence. But that’s not really what’s being discussed here, because it wasn’t being used as evidence. The shooter was already found guilty.

The victim impact statement isn’t evidence in the trial. The trial has already wrapped up. The impact statement is part of sentencing, when the court is deciding what an acceptable punishment would be. The guilty verdict has already been made, so the rules surrounding things like acceptable evidence are much more lenient.

The reason she wasn’t allowed to make a scene during the trial is because the defense can argue that her outburst is tainting the jury. It’s something the jury is being forced to witness, which hasn’t gone through the proper evidence admission process. So if she makes a scene, the defense can say that the defendant isn’t being given a fair trial because inadmissible evidence was shown to the jury, and move for a mistrial.

It sounds harsh, but the prosecutor told her to be stoic because they wanted the best chance of nailing the guy. If she threw their case out the window by loudly crying in the back of the courtroom, that wouldn’t be justice.

I suppose as long as your subnet mask is set properly, this would work? Each one could only support half as many devices, but that’s not likely to be an issue on a small home network with less than a hundred devices.

You’d only have half of your devices listed under either pihole’s DHCP client list. But at least you would have (kind of) redundant DHCP service.

Is that actually the reason GOW never came to PC? I never heard that, but it was also before I had a gaming PC. So it’s not like I was actively invested in whether or not it was available.

You specifically shouldn’t run two DHCP servers on the same network. It can cause IP conflicts when two servers assign the same address to different devices. Because the device doesn’t care which DHCP server gave it an address; It just listens to whichever one happens to respond first. And each DHCP server will have its own table of reserved/in-use addresses. And if those tables don’t match, IP conflicts can occur.

Device 1 connects to the network, and requests an IP address. DHCP server 1 checks its table of available addresses, and responds with “your address is 192.168.1.50.” It marks that address as in-use, so it won’t assign it to anything else in the meantime. Device 2 connects to the network, and requests an address. DHCP server 2 checks its table of available addresses (which doesn’t match server 1’s table) and responds with “your address is 192.168.1.50.” Now you have two devices occupying the same IP address, which breaks all kinds of things.

The largest reason to run two is because DNS queries are split amongst the primary and secondary DNS servers. If you only have a primary pihole, you’ll still occasionally get ads when devices use their secondary DNS servers.

Are you getting MITM’ed by your work WiFi or something? You should be able to connect to it securely. If that security handshake is failing for some reason, it’s a red flag that someone is likely mucking with your traffic.

You may even be able to run it on a NAS. My NAS supports docker, which means I can run a pihole on it. I have a Pi 3b as my dedicated primary, but my NAS runs as a backup.

From my understanding, uBlock doesn’t have any impact on a pihole. Any browser-based ad blocker will work by detecting the ads after the DNS requests have been made. A properly functioning pihole would intercept the ads before the ad blocker. 1.7% seems suspiciously low; My primary pihole averages anywhere from 25-50%, depending on usage.

Honestly the most surprising thing in this post is how little yen dealt with inflation over time. I know it’s 2019 vs post-COVID numbers, but still… Most of the currencies on there had ~75-100% inflation, while Yen is at like 4%.

It was weird when it was originally announced. It’s even weird today. But the weirdest part about the entire series is that it’s actually really fucking entertaining. There’s a reason so many teenaged nerds in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s adopted KH2 as their entire personality.

The separation of church and state is exactly why the president can be sworn in on a bible. Barring a member of office from swearing in on a religious text would specifically violate their first amendment right to practice religion. Importantly, the state doesn’t require them to use a bible, and it also doesn’t prevent them from doing so.

That’s the whole point of separation of church and state. If the state required a religious text, that would be establishing a national religion. And if the state prevented it, that would be infringing on peoples’ right to practice religion.

It doesn’t need to be a religious text at all. It simply needs to be something that is important to the person being sworn in. Technically, you could be sworn in on a copy of the constitution itself, or some handwritten letters from your mother, or a stack of hentai comics.

Revoking citizenship is a tough one, because statelessness is a huge issue in some parts of the world. It drastically complicates the international refugee process, because oftentimes people are fleeing their state and seeking asylum after being made stateless.

Though to be fair, the US is one of the only countries that refused to sign the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, and only signed half of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees in 1967.

Swearing on the Bible only holds any weight if you’re actually religious. Trump is, at most, non-practicing.

Yeah, BPD tends to cause a lot of problems for the individual and those who are immediately in their circle. But it doesn’t drive someone to ruin the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just for clout.

Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly the “don’t trust anyone on the internet” mindset changed. The same boomers who were cautioning us against playing online games with friends are now the same ones sharing blatantly AI generated slop from strangers on Facebook as if it were gospel.

Yeah, treason requires cooperation with other heads of state. For instance, selling/giving classified info to Russia. Oh wait…
