“If you’re too insecure to wash your nasty-ass stank smell off because of a nice smell, you ARE a bitch, and a whiny one at that. When you grow up to be a REAL man, my body wash will still be there, not giving a shit about what dangles between your legs or what you think is or isn’t manly.”

NYS rangers

How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…

I’m sure their massively inflated budget can handle it. Presumably the hikers pay their taxes.

Taken to police… For wasting their time? I’m confused what actual harm they did.

Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

Gotta justify their abuse somehow

… Do you smell toast?

birth bath

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…

My first thought was “… Again? They need some better contraceptives” but no, it’s the same one… A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

To continue with the argument of “the market will self-regulate and people wouldn’t buy that brand anymore so they would never do it again”

Okay but how many people died, how many people are suffering long-term effects, and what’s stopping them from adding a different deadly thing to our food?

Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!

Everyone, everywhere, has a duty to stop fascism and help their fellow man, regardless of what ultimately insignificant speck of a human decided to put a line on a map.

Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

Addicts always gotta justify how they get their fix, I guess.

I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.

Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)

The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.

And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

Ah, so you just wanted to stand on a soap box and let everyone see how virtuous and moral you are. Got it.

And with all fads, it’s cyclical. But on the internet, things move quicker so instead of 20-30 years, it’s more like 5-10.

That’s why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn’t leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of people conspiracy nuts refer to them as “Chem trails” right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.

That’s my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.
