  • 1600 patties per cow is a value I've heard since I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn't McD specifically. Maybe the cows have grown fatter or the patties smaller over the decades.

    Anyway, my point was, hundreds of millions of burgers doesn't deplete the country of cattle heads. It was an remark about orders of magnitude.

  • Yeah I like the original Dune very much too. But it's not a masterpiece. Just an underrated flick full of great actors.

    But I will say this: even if you think 1984 Dune was meh, go watch Villeneuve's version with the most unconvincing Paul Atreides in the history of unconvincing actors (Timothy Chalamet), the appalling Lady Jessica with zero expressions and zero acting skills (Rebecca Ferguson), and Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto who manages the incredible feat of being as shit in Dune as he was in Star Wars.

    Then watch David Lynch's again: you'll enjoy it all the more.

  • the antennae inside it radiate, sending signals to your carrier. Maybe don’t do this while living under fascism. Everyone in the corporations or government can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.

    No they don't. Not by snooping on your cellphone's radio signals anyway: the transmission to your carrier is encrypted.

    The bad guys can intercept your convo in a MITM attack by simulating a tower and getting your phone to connect to it.

    But they don't even have to do that: all it takes is subpoenaing your carrier - with a national security letter to keep it quiet and make the unconstitutional a-okay - and your carrier will gladly hand you over to them like a pig on a roast spit.

  • It would be insightful if the math checked out.

    You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there's 95M cattle in the US.

  • Because you think your car's vibrations is the biggest privacy problem when you make a phone call?

  • Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece.

  • Cowed? Hardly. They embrace the fasch because it makes them cash.

  • Do we ?

  • This bumper sticker sounds a surefire way to attract the thin-skinned ICE brutes to your car...

  • I'll tell you what: I wanted to post something rather long that warranted using the N.word (etymology is one of the rare occasions when it's okay to spell it out) but Piefed's stupid PC filter not only blocked my post, but plain disappeared it.

    Well fuck this shit.

  • The reasons for adult you playing games younger you played are:

    • They remind you of your youth. This happens when you get old enough to notice your youth is gone before you could even take full advantage of it.
    • They don't require a subscription and they don't disappear when the publisher pulls the plug.
    • They're more fun.
  • I too regret buying a license for Grayjay now.

    It seems there's just plain nothing good or innocent ever anymore. When you - rarely - find people or projects that seem worth supporting, they turn out to be tainted in some way or other and give you nausea.

    Even friggin' Noam Chomsky, whom I held in high regard for decades, turned out to be one of Epstein's pals.

  • Ah thanks! We're done eating actually. Two nice perches 🙂 I took the picture this morning.

  • Full-fat cow udder juice will complement RFK Jr.'s insane inverted food pyramid nicely.

    Make America Fat Again.

  • It's vital that all businesses that profit from the regime in any way, shape or form never have any other customer ever again.

    This is one thing ordinary citizens can do safely: vote with your dollars. Don't give your money to the collaborators. Maps like this one and lists of profiteers are essential.

  • True patriots.

  • Rubio is Cuban. What is he still doing here? Can't ICE deport him to El Salvador or something?

    Well, he's not Cuban, but he's brown enough to trip the ICE race detector.

  • Remember: a concentration camp easily turns into a death camp. We learned that from the Nazis.
