Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman
Do you have a version with the funny little squares to represent movement?
Reminds me of the story of people's .mil emails going to the .ml top level domain and the Malian government asking the US to fix their shit
I didn't know what an Amiga was until I saw animations by Eric Schwartz on Saberspark's twitch. Eric Schwartz is a furry artist who made animations on Amiga computers and shared them around the internet. He eventually made a comic with one of his characters called Sabrina online
These ground based drones don't have enough written about them. Can anyone tell me more about them? Who's developing them and the basic tactics?
Anon needs to join a rail club or work for a rail museum. They're always looking for new people and they have big trains.
Am I weird to be really hyped for a new Tetris game
Officer! It's not my fault! The mailman was asking for it! He wouldn't have dressed like that if he wasn't
There's a thing on the stuffy r/credibledefense that might change your mind on pilot error. TL;DR the flight manuals and warning design failed the pilots and the checklists didn't communicate the urgency
If you want the really specific term, it's Jim Crow, after the Jim Crow laws passed in the south after reconstruction. The effects of Jim Crow reach us today and will for a long time
You see what makes a Nazi isn't actually killing millions of people. It's only killing millions of Russians. The reason why the Nazis are evil is not actually because they are evil but because they went against the Russians.
That's how many of the Russians see it anyway, and by extension many tankies. The only difference is tankies have to try and sound reasonable to a Western leftist audience.
That's the image I got. I actually had something else, (oops) but it looks similar. I don't know if Lemmy lets me post the whole image. I don't know if it's the original either, but I used this as a desktop background for years. I ditched it on the upgrade to 4k. Size is 1.2 MB
Anti CBDC bill passes the US House
This bill has just passed the US House of Representatives. Why is this important?
Today, we have Visa and Mastercard as our choice of digital payment. Some have floated crypto as an alternate, but crypto is complicated and not backed by an economy or central bank. Others have floated the idea of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that matches the availability of Mastercard and Visa, but do not go through their services. It could also be used offline with smart devices.
Some critics have cited concerns over privacy, where the central government could collect information, while others have pointed out that Visa and Mastercard collect that sort of data anyways, and CBDCs might log less data if designed differently.
The point may soon become moot if the bill passes the Senate and receive the president's signature
My take on this bill is that it's a ban that should not be put into place. CBDC can still be issued to banks though, just not for you and me. It keeps Credit card companies able to charge high merchant fees.
If I were to write a bill on CBDC, I would put in privacy restrictions into the bill, but still allow for individual CBDC to be issued.
Rarity has gone too far this time
Rarity is the fashion pony. She'd do just about anything to be more glamorous. Poor Fluttershy gets betrayed
Not sure how I got here, but have a picture of pink fluffy ponies before I leave
The thing in the middle is Queen Chrysalis. What I would give to be her right now
