Possibly a perfect use of this.

This is why you just fucking lie and say “Arch btw”

Obligatory Johnny Mnemonic:

EasyTouch maxed out at 400 DPI and the 256 was 256 shades of grayscale.

It doesn’t say when the original ScanMan Color came out or how many colors it had but the Color 2000 didn’t come out until '96 and had a 24 million color pallette.

So, yeah, sounds about right for the ScanMan 32.

Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.

are you referring to Trump’s civil case against E. Jean Carroll

Yep.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”

Probably a step too far to say “convicted” (since that implies criminal court) but I don’t particularly feel bad when I’m dealing with people who lie as easily as they fucking breathe.

Vance, sure, but Trump? He obviously doesn’t think about that kind of shit or is too fuck-stupid to make good decisions because he would be more wealthy than he is now if he hadn’t had a real estate career and just put that money from his family in the market with a professional pulling the strings. He is literally currently shitting the bed with obscenely racist conspiracy shit that is a major turn off to middle of the road voters because he wants to bang the woman whispering them in his ear.

If there’s one thing racists don’t want, it’s to be able to be called a racist and have that be true. This is a step too far for even some racists. Because now they can’t hide behind the dogwhistles and they don’t want people in their community calling them racists.

Trump’s ego was and is too big to be able to not take the bait that Harris laid down for him. That’s fucking stupid and not indicative of having any kind of fucking plan (or even the concept of one).

That’s how fuckstupid Trump is and that’s why I think this is giving him way too much credit. It’s giving exactly the right amount of credit to Vance.

The only thing they care about is power over others.

They literally have never cared about anything else.

Racism, misogyny, homophobia, and so on. It’s all rooted in seeking power over others. They need others to be able to shame to make themselves feel big.

Rape is also about power. Shocker that Trump is a convicted fucking rapist.

It’s about power and control and nothing the fuck else. They don’t give a single flying fuck about anything else in life at all, and never have.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

-Jean-Paul Sartre

I mean, Trump is actually delusional because he was taught by his father and Roy Cohn to never, ever admit defeat and that things like getting old or becoming ill are “weakness.” That’s why a 72-year-old Trump called himself a “young, vibrant man.” He genuinely thinks he is young. Admitting he is a fragile old man would literally result in total narcissistic collapse. Just like his father Fred Trump before him, he will slip into dementia while fully believing he is special and will live forever and no one is as special or as perfect as him. And just like Fred Trump, his family is taking advantage of him while it is happening. Couldn’t happen to anyone more deserving honestly.

Everyone who is like “but this is elder abuse!” Yeah, so a fitting punishment for someone who committed elder abuse to his own fucking father.

Yes, please. Oink was so good.

…thats because newsgroups have been around a lot longer than the web?

Private trackers.

Cinemageddon, for example, has lots of seeds on almost any worthless shitty B-movie you can think of going back to the early days of film.

Yep, too much of search engines today is people pushing SEO crap to rise in rankings and the businesses “protecting” users by delisting tons of sites that Google/Yahoo or who-the-fuck-ever has decided are “bad.” The number of times legitimate sites get swept up in that bullshit is too damn high.

If they’ve extracted all the wealth, won’t all any of have to bring is ourselves? That’s all any of us will have left, our human bodies.
