So I'm getting our nonprofit ready for Pride, which is in October here.

One of my board member's sister apparently makes the best "cream pies" ever, and they wanted to know if we could fundraise on them.

Of course we can't sell them without a food handling license, so we'd have to give them away.

Which is how "Queer Men Give Out Free Creampies to The First 50 People" came to be.

But the average American is tech dumb, and will happily fuck up their own devices. I work at a university, the number of students who think "restart your PC" means "hold down the power button until it dies" is sad. Some of them can't figure out the exam software we use, like the "reset password" link. They have a mixture of Avast and Kaspersky that was preinstalled on their devices, long expired, which is the only barrier against them getting malware from the random shit they install. Browser hijacks are super common. They don't know how to fix those, sometimes they just buy a new laptop.

So I'm not convinced the average American SHOULD have a device that's complex and requires a lot of understanding. iOS is incredibly popular for a reason - you don't have to be a genius, old people and children can use it, and it's not going to leak your saved credit card info because you installed some random "app" from an ad, which is actually of course malware.

This site is full of people who think the average American is just a RTFM away from being as tech literate as them... please go out and do some end-user support to see what they're really like. Simple, easy, secure should be what people expect.

Yeah. I used to be a night owl and then became a meth addict (whoops) and didn't sleep much at all for a while. When I got sober, reclaiming my sleep was the first thing I did. Proper sleep hygiene is all. Hide any clocks in your room. Go to bed at 10. Set an alarm for 6am for a few months. When you start waking up at 5:58, you can stop using the alarm. You can use the extra 2 minutes you've gained to wonder who the hell you are now.

Huffpo: saying shit with no bearing for years and years now.

At least they didn't "slam" Trump, he couldn't withstand that kind of onslaught this week.

People familiar with agriculture won't find this odd at all, soybeans and corn are stored in silos and grain bins and moved to semis and train cars and then buildings like this. I'm honestly not sure how else people think this is done... it doesn't grow in packet form on the sugarcane plant.

It was 10 years ago so "back in those days" would actually work better.

That's always been their cover. Back 20+ years ago when I was protesting Israel's actions, I got called antisemitic so often, I finally stopped expressing opinions on it.

oobe\bypassnro was disabled in Windows 10 by an update 2-3 years ago, it doesn't work in Windows 11 at all.
