This monologue from 12 years ago really sums it up for me. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore but I believe it still has the capacity to be.

TL;DW - Yes, and it’s complicated.

The Baja Blast commercial with Seal as a seal was pretty great.

Always remember, less is more and more is less.

I’m not gonna link to the “other site” but the post starts with “Congrats, you won the lottery. You’re fucked.”

Great resource of no nonsense advice. I’m sure it’s copied elsewhere.

I ended up buying a charcoal suit, a navy suit, and a sports coat I can dress up or down.

Going to hopefully buy a new suit, and maybe a sports coat.

I was probably was able to set up more effective filters as things coalesced onto that instance then I guess after reviewing my filter list. I’ve got community blocks as well. I’d prefer to block communities, not instances. No reason to miss out on interacting with folks just cause they’re into different things than I am necessarily.

Good to know. Is pawb.social the instance to block now then to achieve the same goal?

I blocked yiffit.net pretty early on, so I guess that? I’m not interested in the content they post, so it was easier to block the entire instance rather than each random furry porn community that would pop up onto c/all. No shame or anything against them though, just not my thing.

The short answer is no, undocumented immigrants can’t join the US military.

Quoting from the US Army recruiter FAQ:

Can non-U.S. citizens join the Army?

Enlistment into any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess a Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services Alien Registration Card (INS Form I-151/551 - commonly known as a “Green Card”). Applicants must be between 17 and 35; meet the mental, moral, and physical standards for enlistment; and must speak, read and write English fluently.

I like cows. It started with using cowsay to make some “interesting” output for an otherwise boring looking program, then having to repeat the banner in msfconsole until I got the cow for good luck, then changing my desktop backgrounds and profile pictures to always have a good luck charm with me.

I also think they’re neat but that isn’t the origin. If I had the property where it made sense to host livestock, I’d like to get Dexter cattle. That’s my current favorite.

People also figured out my interest early on and now they get me cow things. I have a wall of cow art I’ve accumulated.

A few weeks ago I impulse bought a 24" show shovel at Sam’s club cause it was ~20$ and I didn’t wanna use a traditional shovel like I did last winter. The ticket scanning lady made some snide comments about “are you really expecting that much snow this year?” Frankly, I didn’t know or care. I’m just trying to add to my tool collection.

Jokes on you, lady! We’re getting a winter storm this weekend. And I’m gonna use my new shovel to clear the sidewalks. Might even clear my neighbor’s sidewalk too.

You misspelled suicide.

The shooting in NYC sounds like gang-related violence. Supposedly a drive-by shooting at a memorial for a kid that was killed a few months earlier. Everyone has been pretty explicit that it’s “not linked to terrorism.”

Domestic or otherwise, I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic by calling all those events terrorism. Is there a violence problem, sure, a rash of terrorism, I don’t think so. There’s only one event with a clear link to terrorism.

I use the Loop Habits Tracker to track trends of things I want to do each day.

Grass sniper took out Boise State’s US flag bearer. Rough, dude.

Good.
