Morons. Educated people are the one’s seeking higher education and educated people tend to trend left on the political spectrum. Capitulating to a far right administration just guarantees that their donors are going to decline and their enrollment is going to tank.
Bummer. I’ll hop on a redeye Amtrak train tonight and bark at the moon in his honor. Silliness aside, he always seemed like a genuine good guy. Hope he’s able to find peace and his family solace in the kind words that will be spoke of him in the coming days. If nothing else I’ll always really enjoy his hits when they come up in my playlists.
I wonder if this has anything to due with the lack of air traffic controllers and their quality of training due to high turnover. Probably not. Let’s just keep waiting for the next 300+ fatality disaster so we can fix it with thoughts and prayers.
Sorry you hate golf. Public pools and libraries are also heavily subsidized by tax payer money. Parks for that matter are too. Sometimes it’s just a good thing to provide your citizens with something to do outside. I’m certainly not a rich white asshole that drives a BMW or Merc. I drive a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with 130k miles on it.
I no longer live there but in the 4000 population town I grew up in, the only tax funded public entity that turned a profit for the city budget was the golf course. The public pool never showed profit in the 8 years I was a lifeguard there. The best it ever managed to do was about a $6k loss. The library lost money because of building maintenance and after school programs. And the parks district was the biggest drain on public funds due to recreational sports for kids and an outdoor theater production for local kids to act in. If anything, the golf course helped fund other local programs.
Feel free to form your own opinion, but I’ve only ever heard good things about Top Golf and it’s not a massive drain on resources or space like traditional golf courses are. But I also enjoy golfing at public golf courses from time to time. It’s fun to get out on the course with 3 of my buddies to whack a ball and have some beers outside. Never will consider a private membership or course though. Private golf courses can be burned to the ground for all I care.
It could be a case of intentional word play but the wording of the article makes it seem like it’s more than just usenet. Specifically the line: “inciting serious sexual abuse of children via a messenger service and producing child pornography content”
It doesn’t read as though it’s simply CSAM traffic through his network and if that were the case, I’d imagine the other 2 would be looking at similar charges, but news media notoriously bad a properly representing tech so that’s what gives me caution.
Yeah, I don’t care if you’re seeding the entirety of film history for free. If you’re also helping distribute child pornography, you deserve to rot.
I do wonder if this is a usenet case though. I know that’s a concern for a lot of people.
Worse.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is
Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you
Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.
Not really related, but I did a complete 180 on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Back in the early months of the conflict I posted a comment here suggesting that bombing in Gaza was targeting Hamas strategic targets and there was evidence of “roof knocking” to warn innocent occupants of an incoming attack. I didn’t realize how naive I was at the time parroting propaganda. If people hadn’t continued posting evidence of the IDF and their genocide/war crimes I wouldn’t have known any better.
Why? It has literally nothing to do with politics. Its a trophy from a sport that he doesn’t watch, has never played, and won’t support in the future. The MLS is the most “woke” of the major sports leagues in the United States, so it’s in theory the antithesis of Trump’s agenda. They regularly engage in pride initiatives and imagery, plus encourage globalism at the venues and through broadcasts. Not to mention that this tournament doesn’t/didn’t really draw the full effort from clubs. Teams regularly didn’t play their regular season starting XI and players didn’t display max effort either. Most of them just finished a 32+ week season and played around 40 matches. There’s already labor disputes about the density and duration of the football schedule in Europe and the injuries associated with playing as much as they do. At best, I would guess that players put about 70% of their max effort into these matches considering the issue of heat too.
A big chunk of my time on reddit was just chatting with sports fans in local team subs during games and in league wide subs about current events.
