So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

@ScottSoCal well, technically, neither did I! π π
@ScottSoCal It's what cults do. They also spawn MLM "businesses" (pyramid schemes) designed around affinity fraud. Businesses selling snake oil products like "supplements" that are considered unethical or even illegal outside of Utah.
uspol / Thread TLDR
So to summarize:
Does the RESTRICT act ban VPNs? No.
Does the RESTRICT act *give the White House executive power to ban VPNs*? Yes.
Is Joe Biden going to use the RESTRICT act to ban VPNs? Probably not.
Would the Supreme Court *allow* Joe Biden to use the RESTRICT act to ban VPNs? Probably not.
But would a future President Trump, or President DeSantis, use RESTRICT to ban VPNs? Yes!
And would the Supreme Court let Trump/Desantis do it, if it was them and not Biden? Yes!
This is a first. Instead of ending an article by saying, βDid I miss anything? Tweet it to me!β Iβm giving readers my mastodon address.

Performance Evaluations are like doing your taxes: youβre supposed to do it all yourself and then they tell you what you did wrong.
A movie? Something subversive, no doubt.
#trans people, what is your #TransAgenda today? I did laundry and am now wearing a thick cozy hoodie fresh and warm from the dryer. Later I'll make pasta and watch a movie with a friend. #RadicalTransAgenda
If you see a kid hitting other kids on the playground with sticks, do you:
1. Give all the kids sticks
2. Give the baseball team sticks and tell them to protect the other kids from sticks
3. Take away the sticks
4. Ban trans kids from the playground
If you said 4, congrats you're a Republican.
When I was teaching third grade in Oakland and we had a lockdown because of an armed person in the building, one of my newer students started crying and another student said, "Don't worry, Ms. Harris will never let the man with a gun get you."
Do you know what that feels like?
The pressure. The trust. The fear that I'd have to. The fear that I wouldn't be able to.
It has been 16 years since I left the classroom and I am crying while typing this because of the visceral memory.
selfie, eye contact, boosts appreciated
it's been a while since i've taken any selfies (to the point that i haven't posted any to this account) but i'm hot and everyone needs to know it
Gov. DeSantisβ handpicked board overseeing Disney Worldβs government services is gearing up for a potential legal battle.
Ahead of state takeover, Disney quietly pushed through a pact and restrictive covenants tying the hands of board members for decades
Guys, ya'll need to chill the fuck out and start blaming assault rifles.
#Nashville shooter didn't use an assault rifle - she used a PISTOL!!!
... semiautomatic AR-15 pistol
... with a 10-inch barrel
... chambered with 5.56 cartridge
... holding 30 rounds
BIG DIFFERENCE!!! /sarcasm
No, it doesn't. But I'm a leftist who was raised by Bircher parents, and was shooting a .22 rifle before I learned to ride a bike. I've rejected most of it, but when things started to go nuts, I made sure I could protect myself and my family.
You want my TV? No problem, let me hold the door for you. I'm insured. You want to hurt my family? Not going to happen, if there's anything I can do to stop it.
I worked in technical support for a software company, then as IT Manager for another software company. I am always on the side of the poor, defenseless computers. They didn't ask for this.
@ScottSoCal π€¨ Whose side are you on? π
They may be shocked to learn that some leftists have guns and know how to use them, if they're forced to defend themselves.
When I was growing up in Utah, the debate centered around "offerings".
Do you pay 10% of your net? Or 10% of your gross? Do you pay tithing on social security income? How much extra should you pay on Fast Sunday (a monthly thing)?
It's all about giving your money to the church. Because rewards in heaven, and god is watching, and all that.
These are the types of homes the bishops and apostles at the top of the LDS pyramid scheme are building in Utah. Only 3% of tithing revenue is spent on bona fide charity programs. The rest is spent on real estate and other stockpiles of wealth.
