Scrap metal. I always leave my scrap metal out on trash day next to the trash can. A guy in a pickup will come around and get it. I would have to save it up for years for it to be worth a single trip, but he’s getting a full load or two every day. I’m sure I’ve lost out on a few hundred bucks over the years.

I’m sure if you started an electronics recycling company or a clean out business you could get people to pay you to take their stuff.

Maga sounds like it could be something an Australian says, but in a completely different context like when you say macas or barbie.

Can’t file a patent on something that someone else already made.

Buildapcsales gamedeals boardgamedeals etc. it was nice when they still have Api access because you could track prices.

In reality this is just them playing along, if anyone were to do anything drastic to these companies they would have a very bad time.

So what kind of game are you making?

I’ve been telling my LGBTQ friends and acquaintances to use signal messenger and get a VPN like mullvad, you can buy vouchers on Amazon.

Car parts are going to go way up, that also means the cost of new and used cars is also going to go up, especially with interest rates stabilizing. I’m seeing used cars in the 200k-300k miles range for sale right now. Take care of your car and watch for rust, because that is going to have to last you a long time.

If the code automatically shows the article or summarizes it without clicking on the link, then yeah, that’s infringement. It should only show the title and the link imo.

Americans could stand to lose some weight.

Some people’s job is to improve security by finding flaws.

I have some skepticism about whether the worst will come to pass.

Homosexuality has been illegal in the not too distant past as has “sodomy”

I thought I also saw something about signal being an issue as well but I didn’t remember what the problem was. They did recently introduce usernames and the ability to keep your phone number secret. You still have to use a phone number to create an account. It’s also the app that is targeted the most by nation-states trying to decrypt it. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that it has been decrypted but they wouldn’t use that to go after the average person and only use it to spy on other countries.

I’ve been instructing LGBTQ acquaintances to use encrypted messaging services like signal and to get a VPN that doesn’t log like mullvad and that your phone company can track your location without gps on but you should still turn off gps/bt/WiFi/mobile data when you’re not using them.

Implying I could afford that shit in the first place 🤡

A lot of progressive people also moved out of red states after all of the different nonsense happening in them. We won’t know until the 2030 census if they actually do that accurately unlike the 2020 census.

A lot of abusers homeschool their kids after they get a close call from DCFS because teachers are mandatory reporters.

Please cram another corporate candidate down my thoat daddy 🥺

If that were me I would run as an independent, people love that on a local level. “I’m putting town/county first!” And say I’m going to fix the roads people LOVE talking about how bad the roads are when it comes to local politics.

There’s a lot of fuckery that happened since before and after the election. They fucked with the census to give red states more ec votes. They changed voting rules and redistricted in many states. They got ballots thrown out in certain areas. Yesterday the voting computer system in my (blue) county didn’t work for the first two hours fortunately I voted early. There’s also a lot more nuanced targeted misinformation out there now. People have these ideas in their heads and I have no clue where they came from. I block ads all the time but I imagine places like TikTok can easily manipulate people without anybody around them knowing about it.
