At this point it’s mostly mousetraps, though.

And taking out important parts of the machine and replacing them with mousetraps.

Having a child is morally equivalent to aggravated murder (you’re intentionally directly causing that person’s death, as well as decades of pain and suffering), so no, breeders shouldn’t be treated differently than any other murderer (though they probably aren’t more likely to murder an already conceived person than the average citizen, which isn’t saying much).

Of course some people might adopt, and therefore are merely enabling murderers, but they’re statistically insignificant, so I’d say it’s safe to assume that anyone who has children is either a murderer or a child trafficker.

In any case, no, fuck them, they might deserve to be treated differently, but definitely not in a positive way.

WizTree scans my entire drive

It doesn’t, really. It’s already indexed. It’s a feature of the NTFS file system. It’s the same way Everything Search can find files almost instantly, and what Windows Search used back when it worked properly in the Windows XP days.

Why Microsoft stopped using that and switched to whatever the current useless search function uses escapes comprehension, though it probably has something to do with them wanting to shove Bing results and other spam in there.

Just picked the best picture that showed up when I looked up encyclopedia. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not British, or a native English speaker, so mine really looked more like this:

Get ready for a large file transfer…

I’m not that old.

Ankh-Morpork.

Mostly, I presume, because I don’t live there, and can safely experience it through the pages of a book, which are thankfully unsuited to transmit the sense of smell and, while still able to cut, are less likely to kill me than a dagger or any of the other deadly instruments one is likely to encounter there.

The rest of the Disc can be quite enjoyable too.

I really dislike the hero worship going on. For all we know, that particular dude might be a paid hitman.

Yeah, but death of the author and all that.

Maybe the guy was hired by the victim’s wife because she thought he was cheating on her or something, and the casings and whatnot are just a misdirection… but if desperate people with nothing left to lose and a lot to avenge get inspired by it and start shooting (or just harassing) CEOs, it doesn’t matter what the original reason was.

For now, American health insurance company CEOs seem to be afraid enough to remove their personal details from public sites, probably more because they see the reactions to the murder than because of the murder itself… so that’s something, at least.

Given the political situation in the USA I very much doubt anything positive will come from politicians and the corporate class learning the sheer extent to which these CEOs and their corporations and their practices are despised by the general population (if anything, they’ll attempt to tighten the yoke, which will just further radicalise people)… but revolutions have started for less.

Hanlon’s razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

That said, we’re talking cops here, who are notorious both for being malicious (ACAB) and stereotypically incompetent, often at the same time, so the usual odds (which massively favour incompetence, hence the adage) might not apply.

Also, a lot of people feel sympathy for this particular murderer (and / or enough well justified, earned, and deserved antipathy towards the victim that it overcomes what antipathy towards murderers they might normally have), so they might be aggressive towards anyone who appears to favour him getting caught.

Jodorowsky’s Dune.

The actual film, not the documentary.

Fucking relax. And de-stress.

Do something about my depression, and my health. And my loved ones’.

And then, if I achieved that, I’d start thinking about what to do with the rest of my time.

I mean… [ gestures broadly at everything ]

They see the world as a zero sum game. They can’t imagine being happy unless someone else is unhappy.

Regardless of how many sides there are, it is an undeniable fact that plenty of people (in the USA in particular, apparently, a majority of the voters) choose to be in (a) side(s) that want(s) to enslave, murder, and rape.

And many others choose to be in (a) side(s) that enable(s) the previous one(s).

No civilised society should accept any of those sides, or those that choose them.

Most people seem to want others not to have a good life, ignoring or disregarding the effects that might have on themselves.

Many if not most would sacrifice their own wellbeing if that guarantees that “the right people” will also suffer. They see the world as a zero sum game, and can’t conceive the possibility of having a good life if others aren’t having a bad one.

Most people suck, often to the point of being monstrous by any decent definition.

Streaming is bringing unskippable ads and surveillance.

Torrents bring neither and are higher quality and more user friendly.

The internet is making things worse, not better.

No, it’s not. Before the Internet you could only watch what was on, when it was on.

Now you can torrent anything you want to watch, whenever you want to watch it, and in much higher quality than TV used to be. And, again, without ads, which TV has always been riddled with.

That’s infinitely better, on multiple metrics.

They should eat each other. It’s the only ethical choice.
