Co-sponsored by pro-Israeli lawmakers Mike Lawler and Josh Gottheimer, the legislation proposes punishments of up to $1 million in fines or up to 20 years in prison.

idea for a bit: start campaigns to “Boycott Mike Lawler” and “Boycott Josh Gottheimer”. Put up yard signs and posters and billboards in each of their districts (NY 17 and NJ 5) with their names and faces on it, calling for them to be boycotted and for businesses not to serve them. Like signs that say “do not trust this man, do not do business with this man, this man supports genocide.” Find out what companies they own stocks in or who they get campaign donations from and start boycotts of those companies. Boycott any companies their family members own or work for.

The site has an e-shop with no products in it, and a purple button that says “LAWYER” that does nothing when clicked. The links in the menu are either broken or lead to a blank placeholder page. The estate planning page lists upcoming events located at “123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345” and has obviously fake testimonials from “Johnathan Smith” and “Michael Brown” giving them five star reviews.

I’ve been interested in “locksport”, competitive lockpicking, ever since reading about it in a Wired article about DEF CON years ago. During covid quarantine I got a transparent practice lock and a set of picks and started learning picking. It’s pretty fun and I find it relaxing, kind of like a fidget spinner. Masterlock padlocks are super easy but I haven’t practiced much on doorknobs or harder locks.

here’s my “chill mixes” playlist, mostly jazz and funk and mostly instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjTwYSdFX0dxvOC558x9gMI-sJQ5yixNn

I watched the first season when it came out and remember thinking that about half of the episodes were good. Just looked it up now and realized that it got a second season, I had assumed it was canceled after one.

For modern sci-fi anthology shows I would recommend “Dimension 404” and “Misfits & Monsters”, both of those had a fun Twilight Zone vibe.

btw they changed that in the new game Civ 7. The game is divided into three ages, Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, and the America civ isn’t unlocked until Modern age.

america is a fictional country created for movies and tv shows. the american cinematic universe is the world’s largest entertainment franchise.

no, people who are a little nerdy aren’t welcome here, you have to be super nerdy to fit in

I went to Catholic school growing up, so they weren’t the young-earth type. They had a more balanced approach of, talk about the biblical origins of earth in religion class, but still teach the scientific origins of life in science class. The Catholic teaching is that when the bible says the earth was created in seven days, it’s not literally seven days, God experiences time at a different scale than humans, so one day for him could actually be millions of years. Interesting how the different denominations get to pick and choose which bible passages are literal and which are figurative.

While I was in high school, a public school near me had a big trial and lawsuits about teaching intelligent design in biology class. Ironic that the Catholic school had a more science-based biology curriculum than the public schools.

In college I had a classmate who was very Christian. He was studying physics and wanted to work in aerospace engineering at NASA, and he did not believe in evolution. That blew my mind when I found out, that he was into science and fully educated on the subject but was just like “no, I don’t believe that macroevolution is a valid theory”. Like he’s read Darwin but just thinks that he was incorrect.

The mods don’t like cumtown, if you post a link to an episode it gets removed for modlog reason “The Racism Podcast”.

Do you eat something else, or do you just not eat? I am concerned that this bat has an eating disorder. No matter how invested you are with your work, it is important to take breaks for meals.

Did you know that all billboards within 660 feet of the highway are technically in violation of federal law, but sign companies use loopholes to circumvent enforcement? That is according to Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching, Chapter 8, section “Advanced Billboarding”.

Advertisements are detrimental to mental health. There should be studies to measure the amount of advertising hours the average person is exposed to in a day, and regulations to limit this amount. Websites like Youtube and Facebook should stop showing ads to a user after they’ve hit their quota, and there should be stricter regulations to limit the amount of advertising shown to minors.

Companies like Google and Microsoft should be limited in what percentage of their revenue is from advertising. Ad revenue has warped these companies, every update Microsoft releases for Windows is focused on adding more features to trick the user into searching for something with Bing. All the money they’re burning with their Copilot AI, is just in the hopes that a few more people will use Bing instead of Google. After a company makes a certain amount of money from advertising, all future profits should be donated to a charity or refunded to the users.

We should also get rid of billboards. They are distracting to drivers and make roads less safe. The only public advertising allowed should be, if your band is playing nearby, you can put some posters up.

the backlash against .ml is so silly its like “i’d like to thank everyone involved in running this software, except the people who wrote it”
