  • or blocked updates

    This in particular. Windows intentionally destabilises itself if you prevent it from updating or powering off when it realises there is an update available.

    This could be non-malicious, such as refusing to collect spyware reports from a potentially infected box, and the box needs to connect to MS to function properly, It could be a tool to force people to “reboot to solve your issues”. Hard to tell without running afoul of the Computer Misuse Act.


  • Exactly.

    Also, slaves, I mean servants are all virtually identical, right? Not like you can get attached to people who are just servants.

    And god’s divine plan for all of those people goes out the door as soon as Satan is like, “Is this one person really faithful though? If I take all the things you granted him, will he still love you?”

    But a good representation if god existed, we’d all be toys. God would’ve planned all this from the start with his omnipotence when he set all the pieces in motion like an enormous rube goldberg mess to torture people for no reason. Create evil indeed.



  • Ouch. Job was a trip and a half.

    My, what a benevolent god is god to bet with the life of his most loyal worshiper. A bet he looses… against Satan? And then god goes down and brags about his achievements to cow his tortured worshiper?

    That actually fits with the days of Olympus quite well actually.


  • No one is going to say it? Really now.

    I miss the Twinkies. Not the cloud cakes. Not the bitter chemicals they sell called Twinkies. The actual american decadent sponge cake with a cream center.

    Also, my father used to buy circus peanuts around the same time every year, when I was a boy. I don’t know the flavor, but it wasn’t fake banana that’s common now.




  • It doesn’t matter how shit these people were a random guy with a gun doesn’t get to decide if they live or die.

    A valid point. Do you feel the same way about the paramedic?

    Rittenhouse out himself in that situation

    Another valid point. I agree.

    C.

    Please yourself. Your assessment and a definition are worth something.

    How you sound to others is your problem, but personally I’d suggest you pick up a dictionary and then go with something more astute, such as killer, man-slayer, or gunman. Possibly gunboy.


  • That’s a new tidbit. Thank you.

    As far as discrediting the trial, the jurors determine guilt.

    In America, the judge is allowed to dismiss or accept evidence and facts, which can skew a trial one way or another. However, this trial was almost ridiculously thorough. The jurors were not aware of the attackers’ backgrounds, nor were allowed to consider the attackers’ other actions that night. Jurors were told to consider the defendant had instigated the incident. On the stand, the paramedic admitted he expected he wouldn’t have been shot if he didn’t point his firearm at the defendant, meaning he was aware he wasn’t chasing a mass-shooter, and might otherwise be called a murderer by everyone who is calling the defendant one.



  • Apologist, possibly. I will absolutely defend that which I hold true. As a pedant, I will assert molesters are not rapists for molesting, rapists are not murderers for raping, and correctly classifying terrible things or events is not apologising, defending, or minimising. By all means call him a killer.

    Murder apologist is a straw man I won’t be stepping to.

    Kindness to remind myself not to lash out or insult people over internet comments. What’s your username mean?




  • Because the actual story fits blearily enough well with republican’s “good guy with a gun” mythos. Trigger Warning: Violence, Death, and Bodily Injury.

    If I’m wrong, please correct me and cite your sources.

    a guy who is famous for murder

    Correction: Famously accused of murder and acquitted of all charges despite rigorous cross examination and ever increasingly difficult hurdles to claiming self defence… such as assuming provocation incited the first attacker. Also despite intense political pressure from then and current POTUS Joseph Biden, who was vocally in favor of murder charges until after the not-guilty verdict was delivered.

    His first attacker, Joseph Rosenbaum (deceased): “The man with a toothbrush.” A belligerent 36 year old bare chested man. Chasing a 17 year old with a firearm, who was running away. A convicted child molester. At the time being tried for assault and out on bail. Shot at close range.

    His second attacker, Anthony Huber (deceased): An avid skater, chasing down a presumed murderer fleeing in the direction of the police. Assailed the accused in the shoulder, neck, and head with a skateboard and grappled over the rifle. Shot at close range.

    Third, Gaige Grosskreutz the star witness of the trial: a trained paramedic who chased the presumed murderer alongside Anthony Huber. Confronted the 17 year old, who had immediately prior, shot Anthony Huber while wrestling on the ground. Drew his pistol and immediately lost his right bicep upon pointing his weapon at the accused.

    The 17 year old, Kyle Rittenhouse, then approached officers with his hands above his head, and was told to get out of the road. Fears of a mass shooter caused the crowds to disperse.

    Please stop calling the idiot a murderer. He was acquitted, and the people who attacked him are none too heroic after looking at their part in the events, nor after seeing their criminal records.

    As I See It, News, comments & Information

    Apr 16, 2019

    Recently I have discovered my review work (1) and show reports taken and reproduced without my permission by four websites, one of whom took the material down when asked – they should not have reproduced it in the first place. When approached they said ‘sure that is how the net works, I am helping you by doing this’. No you are not, you are only helping yourself dasklang.com (2), creating traffic to your site off the back of my work not your own. How would you like it if I reproduced the design of your products ? Then told you my doing so was helping you. You wouldn’t.

    I was going to let this go, but why should I? I have struggled personally to try and put some content on my site, battled reviwers burn out and other issues. Content that in many cases I have paid for out of my pocket to write about, not items loaned by manufacturers or distributors, but products I had bought, sometimes simply to write about them. However even if I had not parted with my money, my time and effort is worth something surely? Worthy of respect that I would at the very least be offered a chance to give my permission as to how my work is used, and where. None of these websites asked, they took what wasn’t theirs to use, to put content on their sites.

    The websites that still have my material up without permission are isecope.com, headgames online and technocratsblog.com, all three I suspect are linked.

    As they are watching this site maybe after being named and shamed they will remove the material. I doubt it, I guess I will have to go after them with DMCA’s and report to their web-hosts.
