  • EVERYONE out pizzas the hut.

    pizza hut is bad chain pizza.

    this has been my opinion since the early 90s and nothing during that time has changed my opinion.

    meanwhile domino’s has gotten markedly better since 2000. if I’m traveling and don’t want to think about what to eat, I’m getting domino’s because I know they’re everywhere. them or papa johns depending on what deal is going on at the time.


  • I still have my note 9. i have 2 other devices that are my dailies so it’s in semi retirement as a nightstand clock. I haven’t had a need to do stuff with it since for all intent and purposes it’s a clock now but I may give lineage a try since I probably won’t do anything else with it.

    the only reason I haven’t rooted it is because I had heard rooting breaks nfc payments. I’m trying not to pull my physical wallet out if I can help it and payment is important to me otherwise it would have been done long before now.









  • stupid republicans. they were convinced that by putting the squeeze on pornhub they could dictate how that site operates when

    1. this isn’t the web 1.0 anymore. websites have been able to geoblock content for at least 20 years now

    2. vpns exist. it’s not going to stop people in texas from still visiting the site, nor is it the only free streaming porn site and

    3. unless a credit card or drivers license is required, age verification is easy to get around. “this content is restricted to adults 18 and over (21 in utah). by clicking yes you acknowledge that you are of legal age by penalty of perjury. are you 18? (yes) (no)”. I was on adult sites at 16.

    this law proves these people have no goddamned clue how the internet works.







  • I don’t think they’re trying to help trump per se. I absolutely believe they’re trying to foster outrage politics. and they are willfully ignorant of what they are reporting just so they can gain/maintain access. and they are so scared shitless of being labeled “liberal” that they are bending over so far backwards they’re facing front again that they normalize or equate everything a republican does to a democrat when it’s clear one is not the same level of scandal.

    these are the same people who tell us that the people who frequent “this ohio/illinois/indiana/iowa diner” are more real americans than people who live in cities are.

    doing all of that benefits trump. but I think that’s a side effect of the real problem. when you are catering to a homogenous audience and trying to pass it off as something that is the pulse of the country you’re going to get this type of unbalanced coverage.




  • I’m not really a fan because in a lot of cases it forces you to download stuff you might not want just to establish and maintain an acceptable ratio so eventually you can get the stuff you do want.

    if I wanted something obscure and not really interested in the popular thing I’m either wasting bandwidth and/or server space starting out or searching for that thing on a public tracker.

    the one private tracker I do use is extremely generous with upload credits for newbies and I was able to take advantage of that plus contribute something right away so I didn’t and still don’t have any issues but I know that’s not the case with some people.
