I’ve heard something along the lines of, “it’s not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it’s when they start failing it on purpose that’s the real problem.”

My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn’t inexplicably burned to the ground!

I mean, I’ve only gotten those from one tracker, and haven’t gotten them since I’ve removed that one tracker. Sonarr at least recognizes it’s not a media file and won’t copy it to your media folder. And you can use regex filters with qBittorrent. There hasn’t been a legitimate use of .arj in what, 30 years? So you won’t be missing anything by filtering it.

If only LAPD would pull a Rodney King on ICE.

Incubus:

Even goods that aren’t directly tariffed are still affected by tariffs. If you planned to buy a new washing machine, but now they’re too expensive because of a tarrif, then maybe you buy a microwave instead.

What? If I need a new washing machine, I’m either buying a new washing machine or doing laundry in the bathtub. I’m not going to decide to buy a second microwave for clothes when the microwave i already have is perfectly functional…for food.

The type of market you’re describing, where the buyer and the seller both have a say in determining prices, only happens in small, locally focused markets. The type of market that’s being undercut and eventually replaced outright by Wal-Mart and other big box corporate stores (with our tax dollars,by the way!) that absolutely don’t give a fuck what the buyer wants to pay, because they have enough people that are complacent, desperate, fatigued, or out-of-touch enough to pay whatever they charge. If they can point to something tangible as an external cause of higher prices, they’ll absolutely do it. We saw it happen with COVID, wage increases, tax proposals, and all sorts of other shit.

A “free market” that doesn’t include freedom for the consumer isn’t a free market at all.

Right wing crunchy fash

Oh no

The point of the jungle is that it sticks around after you leave, lingering in your subconscious, always on standby for the next time you need some landscaping tools at a fraction of the price of those other guys.

Sports is used as a revenue generator at all levels of government. Look how much taxpayer money is spent to build stadiums/arenas/etc. for the sake of the “local economy.” Not to mention all the money spent on advertising and sponsorship.

All of which, of course, has nothing to do with lawmakers’ arbitrary decisions on whether or not trans athletes should exist. Just wanted to point out how much the government is already involved in sports.

Looks like we aren’t too far off from that.
