Did someone say neutralizing civilian disobedience with artillery and mechanized armored cavalry?! :D

Tankies love this one simple trick!

~(lengthly disclaimer: i am sarcastically referencing the literal historical situations where governments have done this and I DO NOT make a habit of calling any actual person a ‘tankie’ under any circumstance, let alone for the flimsy pretense of “they’re a leftist but in a way I don’t like”. The only real tankies are the ones who use tanks to murder civilians, period.)~

Rice is especially great because it’s one of those dry goods that i can keep for basically indefinite quantities of time.

Well, there certainly are “”““people””“” (Nationalist Christians, aka Nat-Cs) who think I am skilled and experienced at eating babies, so… I guess???

I only buy packages, containers, or cartons that will sit within my nutritional budget to eat all of in a single sitting. One, maybe two of those = one meal. Especially those wonderful single-course entrees I can buy at ALDI for like six bucks a pop. That’s actually a day’s worth of food. Especially because I tend to eat one meal a day (when i am behaving).

Costco rotisserie chickens rock my fucking world too. Those things can be more than one meal!

I will also buy packages of “salad mix”–mixed greens with a few other veggies in it,
and then I’ll add a nice dash of salt, and either a splash of apple cider vinegar or a liberal dusting of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, then shake it all up and just GO TO TOWN on the whole container.

The only perishables I buy are things of this sort that I will most certainly eat RIGHT AWAY.

Everything else is either
a: canned goods where i’ll use the whole can at once adding to one of the above items
or,
b: non-perishable usually dry goods with which i can augment other things with pinches and dashes at a time (there are some things like vinegar or certain hot sauces that age and develop more flavor over time).

If a government wants to vaporize a civilian population, all they have to do is pretend there are enemy combatants hiding amongst them “using them as human shields” and “we can’t let them think that works or they’ll do it more”. Funny how they always keep doing it anyway though. It’s almost as if it doesn’t matter whether it’s actually happening or not and brutal fascist regimes will pulp children and parents alike into chunky salsa irrespective of their claims’ validity. Huh. Really makes ya think.

ywwahi

Linux is made of death. It is The Death.

This is why compartmentalization and dissociation have become skills ._.

But some friends of mine have described it as a higher stakes form of LARPing.

Who you are at work is your character. Your character can believe things that you never would.
Such as, being a half-elf dual-class ranger/sorcerer and knowing how to fight with two swords while hurling magic missiles.
Alternatively, being a “libertarian conservative” who believes guns deserve more rights than people >_<

Other friends of mine in the furry fandom frame it like their various collections of furry critters – just another 'sona.
Not a fursona, but a WORK-SONA.

Close, but more like radioactive family.

The fact that we can choose to enhance the permissions beyond their default scope on a case by case basis is powerful.

Part of why i knew so-called “digital rights management” was fucking bullshit was because very little software ever came out that empowered me to manage MY OWN rights in the digital space.

I need there to be FOSS applications that allow me to root-level BLOCK applications from perceiving what I’m doing, to just fucking SANDBOX ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BY DEFAULT and let me whitelist what specific things are allowed to directly access the hardware.

Sadly I am not as tech savvy as I used to think I was. I might’ve been technologically clever twenty years ago but I hadn’t managed to keep up… I think what I’ve described might be referred to as a “hypervisor”? And I’m told it’s an overbearing, clumsy, heavy-handed overkill measure that would be difficult to implement and make everything a pain in the ass to do. So … shit, man, I dunno… i’m just so damn tired of my hardware being bossed around by people I didn’t authorize.
