He would know if you had. Dude is scary good at remembering names.

You were “filled with the holy spirit.” You really couldn’t help it. 🤷‍♂️

Reminds me of my neighbors complaining some websites had “liberal views” on vaccines.

I didn’t even bother to ask what that meant because the phrase itself was so stupid. I just knew the explanation was going to be even stupider.

“Always Tell the Truth”

Buddy, I have some really disappointing news for you.

“Welcome to Zombocom.”

Still waiting to get my healthcare “fixed” after 10 years. Any day now…

C’mon guys. The Republicans are totally going to fix healthcare just like they promised in 1993, 2002, 2008, 2010, 2016 2017, 2020, 2024, The Last Week.

Shouldn’t take more than about two weeks.

Land.

Even the rest of the Republicans wouldn’t piss on George Santos if he were on fire. That’s kind of impressive given their affinity for scumbags and criminals.

You could do what my dad did and accidently delete some of the system files, leaving it for your kid to fix.

The reason I want my children to have access to a computer specifically, is that while TVs and phones are used to consume, computers are used to create.

Joking aside, that’s an interesting perspective. I hadnt really thought of it that way before, despite using a computer to create things almost every day.

No, no, no. You just don’t get it. If we make rich people richer, eventually some of that wealth will trickle down to everyone else.

It’s like this: If we give Elon Musk most of our fresh water, Elon will still have to take a piss now and again. When he does, his urine will flow down the drain, into the sewage treatment plant, and finally into the reservoir where the rest of us get our drinking water from.

But, we can streamline this process even further. We’ll eliminate the government bureaucracy by getting rid of the sewage treatment plant, give the rest of our fresh water reservoir to Elon, and then pipe his sewer lines straight into our faucets. It’s WAY more efficient that way.

Being a billionaire means knowingly and willingly allowing other people to suffer. Just as evil as being a pedophile in my book.

Pro Tip:

If you ever find yourself in the position of having a pistol shoved in your face and you cannot safely escape, it is possible to disarm your assailant.

Quickly grab the wrist or forearm of the hand holding the weapon with one hand and grab the weapon’s muzzle with your other hand. While directing the weapon away from your body, push down on the muzzle like a lever. Your assailant will not be able to maintain their grip on the weapon. Be prepared for it to discharge because it probably will. If you decide to attempt this maneuver, DO NOT hesitate or you will probably get shot.

My oldest is a senior in highschool. From what I have observed, appearance – especially for teenage girls – is less about self expression and more about seeking approval from other girls. Clothing is entirely a status symbol.

There’s often a few girls who are the “trend setters”, a much larger group of “followers” that basically look like carbon copies of one another, and yet another group that doesn’t follow the latest “trend” because they either can’t afford to or (much less often) don’t care.

My daughter is obsessed with looks, as are most of her peers. Trying desperately to fit in because she’s not yet mature enough to realize that it doesn’t matter if all the other girls “like” her. It only really matters if she likes herself.

I’ve told her, only half joking, that she will know a guy is good boyfriend material when he asks her which books she’s read lately.

A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.

I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.

With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.
