So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

Hahahaha, dammit, I admit that’s funny

Ah, yea, that seems more like something that wasn’t intended for breaks.

Definitely disruptive.

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).

This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can’t remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.

If you’ve owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can’t remember the name though.

Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?

I don’t mind those breaks… It feels like going to the next chapter in a book.

But actual ads, yea, not for a service that costs.

Though this whole thing is funny - they collect even more user data than they did with cable or broadcast, and now want to show you ads too.

Can’t wait to finish my media server setup.

Bad faith, for sure, made very clear in the last 20 years.

Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?

Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).

You later move on to attacking the person, rather than the argument (more sophistry).

You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.

DDOS can happen just from a script hammering on an exposed port trying to brute force credentials.

What?

I’ve popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.

Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.

Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.

So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.

If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.

Wow, that’s pretty out there.

Yea, pizza places have gotten out of hand in recent years.

Adding a delivery fee (which doesn’t go to the driver) from locations that only do delivery.

How about fuck you and your delivery fee. Which is why I refuse to have pizza delivered any more. Plus they invariably get lost, though we’re a few hundred yards from their store.

Little Seizures sells the same pizza for half the price, or less, than Papa John’s, before those fees are tacked on.

I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.

Most lotions contain dimethicone, a silicone relative.

They both work by being moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss (for hand lotion).

As someone who struggles with skin issues, I don’t even bother with lotions that don’t have dimethicone, they’re practically useless for me.

Yes, no, sort of.

I mean shampoo is definitely not the same as laundry soap.

And even between shampoos, there are differences (as anyone with skin conditions can attest).

Are products in any one category largely the same? Yes. But there are differences.

Or any business, not even corporate.

You see the same crap in SMB.
