Been playing Harmonies

It’s a pretty fun optimization game. Fairly simple and a 4 player game goes quite quickly. For me geometry and optimization like that are super fun.

Also played some Betrayal at the House on the Hill which is our go too (but lately we fudge the tiles/omens to get more varied quests)

I played the original Robo Rally a few weeks ago and it was incredibly fun

I am when not having honour destroys the scam

I have no idea what all the effects of that executive order are, but yeah I could see that being the case now in a lot of places.

Marriage affects your taxes, your ability to buy in a house as a couple, adoption, your will/estate, being in the hospital… A lot of important things.

It’s really basic human rights.

That’s surprisingly low.

Definitely would make me not pay knowing that stat.

Imagine how gay people felt trying to get married until just a few years ago.

Banned for simply existing.

How about trans people trying to travel into or out of a country. Or applying for a job and having to submit their deadname and their birth sex revealing their medical history. Or getting pulled over and getting interrogated over their ID. Or trying to take a leak while at the office or a restaurant and being told they have to leave.

Banned for simply existing.

How about being born as a visible minority and getting stopped and frisked just for being in public.

Banned for simply existing.

But not being on Bluesky? That’s taking things too far!

That does not feel long enough for this crime.

I’m betting on major Python package index enthusiast!

Breakfast the day I made my account

Who threatens a bishop because they have a sermon one man didn’t like?

I don’t know if Lemmy is for everyone, but I’m very happy to see the fedicerse gaining more traction.

Every user that onboards to pixelfed is going to now understand how to set up mastodon.

Blue sky is basically trying the exact same thing and expecting a different result.

So that’s what it takes before people think of leaving twitter.

Interesting, I didn’t know that, though I didn’t follow the case too closely, but the arrest was big news

I think the pot sales were probably not a huge deal, and some of the other recreational drugs too (I don’t think anyone should do those drugs, but I’m not going to restrict everyone else).

The hitman services listed and other illegal stuff was definitely an issue he deserved time for.

I still go back to Jesus’s golden rule: do unto others as you would have done to you.

He says that rule sums up all of his teachings.

You can 100% be Christian and treat LGBTQ people with respect. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s what Jesus would want. You don’t even have to read the whole bible to know that, that’s Jesus’ own cliff notes version!

Organized religions that for thousands of years oppressed people will read the bible as they may, but you’re not a Christian if you don’t recognize the new covenant and hear Jesus words.

Remember when Jesus apologized to the Romans about politicizing religion?

Why though?

I mean, who is looking at this and calling it an injustice?

Side note: does he get his bitcoin wallet back?

My tinfoil hat is definitely in between this and Facebook/instagram doing the exact same thing at the exact same time.

I think Postgres could win the MisSql pageant

Snowflake and DuckDB would be up there doing 10 different talents, then Postgres would just stand there and say “uh huh, I do that too” to thunderous applause!

SQLite would win the swimsuit competition but then struggle with concurrent writes during talent show and get disqualified. The judges would always get its name wrong.

Big query would get caught copying Snowflake and bribing the judges. Presto/Trino would require a full team to get dressed for the costume contest and miss the event.

MySQL wouldn’t win any single event, but would get high scores all around for unknown reasons.

MongoDB would be at the front desk trying to convince the judges to let it enter, and while doing that would accidentally drop a suitcase filled with business and government secrets.

Probably with “The founders only wanted what I think they wanted, despite their explicit instructions”

Definitely matters for calls, most wireless headphones lower quality for decreased latency when the microphone is on.

At least that’s my understanding
