This is why so much of the GOP and far-right seems so stupid, why Fox "News" seems to focus so hard on stupid shit so often. It's all a marketing gimmick.

You will take that deal and be on probation / parole.
Even if innocent.
Q: Why is inequality in the USA twice as high as that of Spain?
A: Racism. My thread from yesterday explained the ways in which systemic racism is designed to siphon net welath from Black people, but I don't think folks appreciate the scale.
Civil asset forfeiture alone steals more wealth than "all other forms of burglary combined."
Black median net wealth is on trajectory to be zero by 2053.🤷🏿♂️
@deadrose they have electrical ones too!
I really enjoyed the concept of a hard drive as a prayer wheel. It's technically correct in all aspects and it makes me think about What Is Language Anyway.
@indi It ought to, considering there are wind-driven prayer wheels.
@porsupah That's odd, my daughter's on pixie.town and they're pretty good at keeping the evil blocked.

@porsupah Mine wasn't very mellow as she'd never really been a pet, she was a retired breeder that I took in. But I gave her a happy home with good food and a running wheel for her last year or so. I was hopelessly uncreative and just called her "Tiggy".
re: CW: pet health
@porsupah I've had pets any time I was even halfway settled & living in a place that would allow them. I even bred fancy mice for a while, sweet little satin-coated longhaired balls of floof. I've had reef tanks, iguanas, hedgehogs, and all manner of creatures.

My big beautiful boy boa Sebastian has left us. He was old, in his late 20s, and he'd been acting depressed since his mate died. (Seriously, I know I shouldn't attribute human emotions, but he acted as if he was pining for her).
It's a sad day as he was the last of our pets, and with me ill, we're not likely to get any others.
@porsupah Yeah, the nicest thing about the LCM was that they made it as interactive as possible with the computers they had plenty of. It was nice to sit down at a clonky old keyboard and type "load *,8,1" once again. They also had access to the bigger machines for pros & researchers.
@porsupah Oh I know what you mean, I had so many of the old beasts. I was going to donate a few things to the Living Computer Museum here, but they closed at the beginning if COVID, and their creator/patron saint died and they never reopened. Shame, it was a great place to while away a day.
@deweyritten What's the problem with healing? I might be able to offer a little advice (of a strictly not-a-professional sort)
Possibly left by aliens. Making the world stranger for over half a century.
