Seconding the Cubanos. So lovely, now I want one in my mouth.

I bet you have lots of friends! Hahaha

And who are you, exactly? I don’t like pewdiepie, or at least I haven’t since I was a literal teenager. He’s a strange person with a strong ego at times, but I’m all for more mainstream exposure to de-Googling, linux, and self-hosting. Just take the win.

I like to rag on funko pops AND anime poster/figure infested rooms…

But I have a keyboard problem. So I usually stay quiet.

The US has a history of using death/suffering as a “deterrent” for illegal border crossings. It doesn’t really work that way, though.

Excerpts from Immigration and Naturalization Service “Border Patrol Strategic Plan 1994 and Beyond”:

The Border Patrol will improve control of the border by implementing a strategy of “prevention through deterrence.” The Border Patrol will achieve the goals of its strategy by bringing a decisive number of enforcement resources to bear in each major entry corridor. The Border Patrol will increase the number of agents on the line and make effective use of technology, raising the risk of apprehension high enough to be an effective deterrent.

The prediction is that with traditional entry and smuggling routes disrupted, illegal traffic will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement. Mobility of enforcement resources will be essential in tracking illegal traffic to prevent local “hot spots” from becoming long-term problem areas.

They targetted safer passageways and funneled migrants through the Sonoran Desert, which promptly led to increased migrant deaths but an unchanged quantity of crossing attempts. It’s not like the migrants can afford to turn around and go home.

It makes sense that the logical next step in the death-making company is to buy a death machine since it’s “cheaper” than processing inviduals and sending them home to their deaths.

It has Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad vibes to me

I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. Subtle but unusual is a good way to describe it.

However, I would like to point out that if it is their branding, then the character appearing is an advertisement for the service. It’s just not very conventional or effective advertising, but they’re not making money from a vast majority of implementations, so it’s not very egregious anyway.

Yeah, it seems entirely optional. It’s not like manually removing the Anubis character will revoke your access to the code. However, I still do find it a bit weird that they’re asking for that.

I just can’t imagine most companies implementing Anubis and keeping the character or paying for the service, given that it’s open source. It’s just unprofessional for the first impression of a company’s website being the Anubis devs’ manga OC…

Big fan of thin sliced raw onion on hot sandwiches or grilled cheese. A single tomato slice is also super good with raw onion on sandwiches.

This seems to be how I see it used most. I usually stick to calling people tankies when they walk around explicitly talking about how proud they are to be one.

Tankie doesn’t really mean anything to me anymore. Even self-proclaimed tankies often have trouble defining it in a way that is consistent among leftist groups.

Bernie isn’t perfect, but he’s been the only candidate who holds some left-leaning ideologies without being totally impossible to elect.

It’s too bad he got shut down for Hillary, and now he’s much too old to start a pres. term.

Nobody toucha my spaghett

Depends on the vegetable, clearly.

It’s an interesting perspective on a phrase that literally says “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”.

That’s probably the megaphone from the book cover! So from left to right it’s LL, megaphone, LL again, and the megaphone again!

Running some random process introduced with Windows 11 that adds literally nothing to the users experience other than heat and fan noise

You forgot to mention how important and helpful the telemetry will be! /s

That’s not the American flag, but I get what you mean. I believe that’s Liberia’s flag.

Nothing quite like some pickled daikon…

You should definitely add wealth class to your list of criteria, as this is a factor that both Dems and Reps fail to address.
