In a poly relationship with n members, there will be 2^n - n - 1 interpersonal relationships in play.

This is the cardinality of the power set of n, minus the number of singleton sets and the empty set.

Thought i would mention it, just in case you needed a quick way to calculate the number of relationships in ur polycule for ur therapist.

The folks who bought the Enron trademark/brand/whatever are a satire group that graduated into actually running a scam.

Originally when they started doing this Enron stuff, it was pretty funny. As I understand it, an unrelated group launched a cryptocurrency and scammed people using the name Enron that wasn’t affiliated.

Then in Feburary, the satire group scammed people with their own crypto coin. If you are ironically doing a scam, you’re still running a scam. Don’t give “Enron” attention.

Coffeezilla video on situation

NGL, the Enron hoodie Coffezilla has on looks pretty nice. The satire peeps should have just stuck to selling Enron merch.

I think it’s notable what they didn’t find. No guns, weapons. No plane tickets. No bombs or bomb making equipment. No actual real plans, just aimless searches. This guy is young. You can find a picture of this guy online (I’m not going to link it. I think these sorts of sites should be illegal tbh).

My guess:

• Mentally ill, possibly mentally disabled
• Lives with mom/dad etc, probably unemployed or unable to find a “good” job (Not a moral failing. American society is not giving many options for young adults to live “complete” lives).
• Mom/dad/whoever notices how angry he is and installs a keylogger, because they don’t want him to become a mass shooter, and he’s a grown man still on Roblox.
• Immediately confesses everything to FBI

This guy needs a mental health intervention, not jail time. I have a hard time believing he is much of a public threat since they listed all the cool stuff they found in his house in the FBI charging documents but no guns/etc. This guy didn’t have a plan.

Highly recommend this podcast episode from Reveal: Lessons From a Mass Shooter’s Mother

pressured speech?

Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.

It is a US-based magazine, and it’s not very popular, so it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.

Jacobin (magazine, wikipedia link)

Errr… am I mistaken? This is the first time I’m hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it’s from Jacobin…

Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually…

big spiderman pointing at spiderman vibes if true

I’m not coming to argue you on your main point. As a Communist, I think communism would be great in Japan, and a lot of other places.

However, you are completely wrong about the USA not defending Japan. Unlike taiwain there are several large american military bases in Japan, and actually Japan is not allowed to have a large military of its own through its constitution (I edited this, corrected)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_and_Security_between_the_United_States_and_Japan

article 9 of Japanese constitution involving its military

Okinawa is one base a lot of people have heard of, but there’s like 20 american military bases there. Japan depends on the USA for its foreign defense.

Since Japan is the largest foreign holder of american government debt (bonds) it might be appropriate to call them a vassal state.

it allows you to make it cooler than just boring plain text

Agree.

People who find it annoying have grown old and boring, or are too young to have posted on a phpbb with a tacky signature.

Tryin’ to make a change :-\

Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.

I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.

(Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)

Do you not charge it when you sleep? I don’t even have to charge mine every day because it’s pretty new and I’m barely on it. And I use GrapheneOS so it’s debloated.

I have to sign in to 2-5 programs to complete service for customers

I use shared terminals so I have to sign out when I am done

Each task takes about 3-4 minutes of computer work, feels like most of my time spent is typing in a 15 character password in 2-5 programs. I do this all day, 8hr shift, graveyards.

I just change a single digit number on this password when the 90 day rotation happens. Typing it in incorrectly 3 times gets me locked out, a call to IT. I work for tips, no time for that. My work environment is distracting, noisy and stressful, so even if I wanted to use “best practices” in choosing passwords, I really shouldn’t.

Management refuses to replace keyboards that aren’t in good repair. Several have keys that stick.

I type in a 15-char password probably 100+ times a day.

my phone is dead for 2fa

Lmao skill issue

I had this problem with Pearson. I got around it by making sure my bowser (librewolf) reported windows as my user agent. This was last semester for an online intro level course, ymmv

Edit: I see your other posts about how its not blocking access… Tbh I don’t remember checking, I just remember checking my browser settings haha. Guess I didn’t have to bother.

The fediverse isn’t ready for this level of sarcasm. Look at those downvotes, lmao.

I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t.

Being a stay at home dad is work. Raising children is necessary work that capitalism requires, because it requires laborers. We have engineered a system in which this work is uncompensated, and if you gender this work, it causes gendered oppression.

I will also point out that in America we have decided that unless you have a “job”, society has decided that you pretty much don’t deserve health care. Anyone who chooses a life of domestic labor in America puts themselves in a position where they are financially dependent on their spouse and their spouse’s employment status. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have forged these chains.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate.

If we had more workers, it could be that we wouldn’t need those workers to work as long. Earlier retirement, shorter work weeks, whatever. The issue is not the size of the work force, the issue is what is chosen to be done with it.

Are you trying to imply doubling the available workforce is not good? Its usually a good thing. While their motivations are cynical, those leaders are doing good.

…or are you trying to imply that keeping women out of the traditional work force (by only allowing them to work unpaid in the home in domestic servitude, labor that capital does not value) increases the value of male labor through scarcity, which would be preferred?

Sorry that second question kind of reads as an attack. A shitty coworker of mine said that to me unironically and tried to play it off as a joke when I pushed back.

In addition to the replies you got already, discord has screen sharing/streaming. An experience kind of like zoom (I don’t use it and dont see the appeal but maybe someone who does can elaborate more. My partner uses this feature sometimes).

For what it’s worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they’re just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).

At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don’t want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).

All federal employees have been reclassified to political employees instead of nonpartisan civil servants, meaning they are closer to at will employees.

This has never happened before.

All federal employees now serve at the will of the party in power. There will be loyalty tests. There will be entire departments defunded and dismantled.

They are reviewing social media posts as we speak to decide who to keep. That’s right, that includes folks at the CDC, FDA, EPA… every paperwork jockey, no matter how minor their position, is now subject to the whims at the party in power in a way they were not before.

All these firings will be contested. They’ll go to the courts. Say… Who owns the courts right now?

You have no idea what is happening. The purges begin 90 days from now.

This is how I do it. I don’t recommend roku though, its covered in ads and it crashes sometimes and requires reboot (Amazon app, not jellyfin)

I’m not purchasing another.

Yes I have a pihole for the ads. The thing is always trying to radio home.
