Would YOU go down this path??? 😳

Anybody else watch Doc Compton fuck with robocallers?

HOLY SHIT!

FINALLY!!!

TMobile asked me to ENTER my pin on my phone when I called instead of saying it *out loud to an employee*

Been bitching about this for at least A DECADE, right @elfin?

#infosec

Edit: The agent STILL asked for it 🤦♀️ I informed them I had already entered it and they verified it.

I wonder if they verify it by reading it in open text 🤔

@elfin

Then she sent an email with the label (to return the router.. The shitty one) and said she would stay on the line for a minute until I got it.

Me: Ohhh yeah no my spam filter can take 10 minutes so I don't want to keep you that long.

I don't mention why anymore or that it can take 0 minutes or might never come through depending on what idiot set up their email.

@elfin

Wait, what?

Oh wow.

There's a new trend:

Coffee at home.

No really. You make your own coffee 😯

GenZ are so clever! How did they ever come up with this anyway?

If each and every one of us had a profile hosted on our own domain, nobody could disappear it...

More disturbing things...

Shaq

A

Liscious???

Gummy heads??

Extra large??

There's too many!! Too many bad jokes! Too many questions! Whose idea? How many drugs involved??

At least it wasn't Didd... Yeah ok no. Never mind. Move along. Nothing to see here.

CHILDREN EAT THESE??

"Hey Timmy what are you eating?"

"Extra large gummy Shaq heads. Yum!"

Hey #Seattle!
Washinton Weather Chasers had put out a lengthy update on the chance of #tornado in #Washinton #Oregon

✅ "To give you an idea of how uncommon this is, in the last 10 years, there have been exactly 0️⃣ severe thunderstorm warnings west of the Cascades in the #PNW during the month of March."

✅ "Right now, it appears the most robust storms -- possibly even supercells -- will develop somewhere between #VancouverWA, & #Tacoma - #Enumclaw this afternoon into the evening."

The seed vault?

THE SEED VAULT???

Let him take away ebola funding. Let him take freaking social security, but for the love of all the gods, keep his grubby little hands off of the seed vault!!!

He's not just trying to collapse the system (which arguably needs a healthy dose of collapse), he's Fucking Around with our motherfucking FOOD SUPPLY and we will *ALL* Find Out.

Edit: forgot the link!

@steter
I know why they ended up stranded there. They were there a long time. There seemed no rush to get them back. I just find it... interesting that oh hey they're back... In the first 100 days.

@melanie
Yep that.

Ok well I've gone and invoked brimstone.

Now I have to find that story about the Chicago Fire.

Mrs. O'Leary's cow my ass.

Did you know fireballs fell from the sky?

And pennies melted together in a pocket of a man's pants (the pants survived) while standing in the middle of a field away from any fire?

I'll be back with the link ...

Craving something sweet?

How bout some heavy metals like aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury?

I mean Girl Scout cookies. Same diff.

Keebler sells the same cookies. All made by the same, I believe.

@doctorwhom

#FediLaw #Legal hypothetical question in the US...

Person A is driving a car and accidentally hits person B who is a pedestrian who is crossing the street at a crosswalk with a green light.

Person A pulls over.

Person B beats the shit out of Person A.

Is person B justified legally because self-defense?

OR only if Person A gets out of car and physically assaults Person B?

The end of democracy?

Today??

Yeah ok, I guess you weren't paying attention 24 years ago... or arguably 112 years ago.

But yeah, ok, yesterday we had democracy and today we don't. 👍

@JPZ
Oh wow. Ok...

- Last time Trump was elected, there was the fear that it would be the last election ever. Yet here we are.

- Voting machines? Diebold anyone? Voting machines have been in the news with how not secure they are since... 24 years ago.

And that's not a federal issue. Washington State had voting machines for ONE election (and you could choose to use it or the regular "chad" type vote). Now we have mail-in only. Change it locally if it's a concern (& yes it should be)

...

@JPZ

Also read @pluralistic 's article on how the Democratic party chooses their candidates (I'll find the link in a minute). You have zero choice. Voting is such theater.

Fun story: That happened to be one of the very few years I voted. The guy in charge was Ken on showing off the machine & getting people to use it. I let him show it off to me then I turned to him and asked where the machine spent the night the night before. He gleefully answered "in my living room!" I blinked and...

Hey Masto, I can't even remember the name of the video platform in the fedi because last I looked it was not done baking.

A lot of people on TikTok, and I mean a lot are saying they'll leave if Meta buys TikTok.

Prime opportunity. Helloooo.

But I know it's not done baking enough to onload all those people from TikTok.

Shame really.

Wonder where they'll end up.
