I used to browse certain subreddits for negativity bait. Eventually I decided that I didn't want to immerse myself in a negative mindset so often.
The trick for me was to recognize those moments when I was on auto-pilot and navigating to those spaces because I was bored and it was a reflex. I would remind myself that I know it's bad for me, and then force myself to do literally anything else. Go to some other website. Vacuum the floor. Put on some music and go for a walk. Eventually I lost that reflexive instinct, and now I have no desire to go back to those places.
I'm not going to pretend that what worked for me will work for anyone else, nor will I say that I'm now a better person for avoiding those spaces. I've probably replaced that habit with an equally pointless one, it's just nice to not always view things from the context of tearing others down.
Eh, maybe. Back during feudalism, emancipation of serfs was also considered theft from the nobles who owned the land (and thus the serfs who worked it).
Sometimes governments implemented programs to reimburse the nobles for losing "their" serfs, and sometimes not. Now that we're a couple centuries removed from that drama, we generally accept that the destruction of feudalism was a good thing, regardless of whether it was theft.
There used to be a similar bug in the Roku jellyfin app.
If you can recreate the subtitle issue using test file 5 from this repo, it might be worth submitting a bug report. https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-test-files
This is a reference to an ad for a shitty mobile game. An animated Roman soldier is trying to stab an Egyptian woman but she dodges him by swinging dancing and swinging her hips. It's a city builder game themed around ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
In modern parlance, it's called a D'k tahg
Just use docker/podman containers: They're way easier to use and correctly configure than jails.
Podman quadlets will even spin up containers as systemd services. You could automatically assign solitary confinement containers to new inmates on the fly.
No. 404 media is written by people. I've personally been impressed by their reporting over the last year.
You could use your SDR to record yourself on a random simplex frequency instead of the repeater. Dial down your transmit power to minimum so you're not blasting everyone. After all you only need the signal to reach your SDR. Key up, start with your callsign and announce a microphone test. Then say a short sentence or two while listening to your SDR.
Choose a clear frequency that's slightly off from national simplex and I think you'll be fine.
Looks like a briar pipe of some kind. I don't really know my pipes but I think it could be a churchwarden or a sherlock style.
There are plenty of online shops that would sell similar pipes. It's a question of how close to the photo you want it to be. I think a high quality briar pipe can run a few hundred dollars. However, you should be able to get something for 30-80 USD if you look at entry-level options.
I sometimes enjoy smoking from my long stemmed 18th century replica clay pipes, which I purchased from pipeshoppe.com. Historically, clay pipes were cheap to produce and somewhat disposable. Even today a fancier clay pipe can be had for <50 USD. However, their current selection of wooden pipes is a bit sparse so you'd have to look elsewhere to match what's in the photo.
I always assumed that it was to quickly delineate what people say in their capacity as a citizen vs what they say in their capacity as a representative of their government.
"Sarah Carter, from the Canadian embassy, says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet" could be interpreted as a personal opinion. "Canada says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet" is clearly an official statement.
Plus, sometimes the news may be reporting on a memo or announcement from a government entity which was crafted by several people and has no author listed.
I can go to China, buy a book full of propaganda, fly to the USA, and read it with no issue.
I can tune my radio to a shortwave broadcast from Mexico, and there's not a damn thing the FCC will do to stop me.
I don't even fucking like TikTok. It's an amalgam of all the worst dark patterns developed by corporate social media. Of course, nobody in government gives a fuck when Zuck does the exact same thing. I think it really comes down to the fact that as a foreign company, ByteDance can't play the same election fundraising games that American companies do.
