That day has come.

The ‘compulsion for stealing’ has survived the era of hired agricultural hands. Socialism has not only sustained it, but extended it to the entire society. It became a built-in part of the whole system. Stealing (and I use this term in its broadest sense) in all its ritual, symbolic and other implications, has become an engrained element of peasant culture today, as much a part of it as, say, Maypoles or Easter eggs. Stealing these days is not done by just some people but by almost everyone. The chief accountant steals just the same as the animal-feeder who hides groats in his trousers or in her bra, or the watchman who knows full well what goods workers smuggle home, or the swine-tender who deliberately breaks the animal’s leg on the trough so that members of the cooperative may buy it cheaply. ('You want a suckling? You shall have it tonight … ') Everyone is familiar with the system. What a cooperative member finds demoralizing is not the fact that the whole system is based on stealing, but that he cannot steal enough (Sozan, 1985: 95-6, this author’s translation).

Cloudflare would be more like a leaf covering the image because you don’t need it to operate the stack, you need it to work in order to be able to see what it’s doing.

In Lithuania, healthcare e-services went down after the basement where the servers were kept got flooded in a rainstorm. They went down for a couple of weeks.

Going through my phonebook and replacing 8’s with zeroes was a mess.

Not yet named synthetic cathinones is my second best bet on what does him in. The first one is some mystery shooter with loose connections to a foreign intelligence agency.

I listen to death metal because of the lyrics. Cause they are awesome. And I never even found a band that had fascist songs on my own.

That person seems to be everywhere too!

Dowsing is also pseudoscience, actually. You can’t sense shit with a stick in your hands.

Rikis was a name for an Old Prussian or Lithuanian leader or a noble person.

I am from Lithuania and our sunsets are extra orange due to ash particles (from the forest fires in Canada) in the higher atmosphere.

First, they will remove rape and incest, then they will remove all LGBT games, then they will remove all nsfw, and then they will remove all violent games and so on until only the games deemed acceptable by the US evangelicals are left.

I guess I’ll go to the F95zone instead.

That depends a lot on who you ask. All the weird propaganda in the movie is not there, but also the way that the main character explains how his society functions is perhaps incomplete.

We don’t see their society being racist (except against aliens) or sexist, we don’t see them suppress free speech or labor rights, we don’t see them worshipping some kind of Fuhrer either.

Personally, I think that war makes fascists of us all and that’s what the book tried to convey.

Both were entertaining, but the movie was more of a popcorn action flick while the book tried to explore the realities of war and a warrior led culture.

The Heinlein estate holders didn’t like the movie so much, they have refused selling movie rights to any other book. So you won’t see The Moon is a Harsh Mistress because of Starship Troopers.

Ehh I liked the book more.

I remember that time Facebook had a random text in a page saying “This text should never be visible in production” or something like that.

MSNBC’s report on it is on YouTube, plenty of people in the comments replaced their profile pictures with various versions of the meme and had a lot of fun with it.

Not all batteries are easy to remove nowadays. Also, power management might have gotten better and the battery circuit mostly disconnects when not in use.

Removing the battery when using AC used to be the advice to prolong the battery life a decade ago.

I have literally had this argument, but it was about shrinking population growth. “We will just have more immigrants.” From where, outside of West Africa and Central Asia, all the countries have fertility rates below replacement levels and even those countries’ levels are dropping.
