Section 230 is a pretty strong immunity shield for internet sites:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

Edit: Actually I’m not sure about it now. They don’t allow automatic online submissions, so it’s really not an interactive website, just a place to post dox.

I was looking for a pirate feed of a podcast and there was a reddit thread that linked to a post on Hexbear listing a bunch of them.

My father-in-law has been saying he can’t retire despite being in old and in rough physical condition. He’s been paying into a 401k for 40 years, has a paid-off house, and they’d collect over $6000/mo in combined Social security payments. He also has a good job as a draftsmen at a military contractor.

Turns out that they’ve been racking up credit card debt until they can’t afford the payment then withdrawing from the 401k to pay it off.

I still can’t fathom what those credit card charges could be. They don’t have any flashy stuff, their house is small and in disrepair, they have cheap cars. He’s an alcoholic and they go out to eat a lot, but it still doesn’t add up to me. Only thing that makes sense to me is that he got scammed somehow.

I think the jumble.top feed for The Adam Friedland show has cumtown before the TAFS episodes

I’ve previously dabbled with Ableton, but it’s hard to use a DAW in my space because I don’t have room for my midi keyboard near the PC. I was rearranging everything in the room every time I used it, which meant I had to have a lot of time to dedicate to make it worth the hassle.

I recently got an MPC key 37. It’s obviously not as powerful as a full DAW, but it’s nice to just sit wherever and work on a song. The limitations are actually helpful in a way. When i havea hard drive full of pirated vsts and a full DAW I get overwhelmed sometimes with the choices.

What happened to cherry tomatoes? Every grocery store used to have them, now it’s all grape tomatoes or those new bland things. Cherubs/angel sweet/etc stay fresh longer but they don’t taste the same as real cherry tomatoes. Even when a store does have them, they seem different, less acidic, less flavorful.

There’s a cap that limits most of the shenanigans. Plus gig workers still have to pay self-employement tax and ss/Medicare tax on the tips. It’s just an income tax deduction

Goods delivery people is for gig workers, the companies lobbied for it. Doordash, Spark, Amazon flex, etc.

This thing has been rolled out pretty sloppily. It seems like things only count as tips if they’re given in cash or are accounted for in the new 1099s as tips. So it leaves some of the decision making to company lawyers to decide if it meets the law.

I suspect they will not count subs as tips even though they basically are. Many channels give you something in return, even if it’s just emotes or dodging ads

You still have to pay state and local income tax on tips.

The only thing more American than killing kids over a prank is doing it with a car

I had a solid week. I hadn’t been running as much as I want because it’s been cold at 4am and I’ve been kind of a wimp about it.

Work was slow one day, so I did a daytime run. It was great. I haven’t been able to do singletrack trails in a while because it’s hazardous to do them in the dark. Decided I’m going to go back to daytime runs even if I lose out on some money by not working mid-day. I was going to have to do that anyway once it gets really cold out, since I can’t use the treadmill while my partner sleeps.

I don’t know if this counts as self improvement to anyone else, but I’ve been making electronic music(poorly). I don’t make time to do art very often and I want to do it more. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and it’s surprisingly relaxing.

There was a vid about a young person who was hitting a nitrous canister basically non-stop.

They’ll prove they’re not woke by renaming it to “Whitestone”

I fell off hard this week. I think I ran once. I was sore from work and took a couple days off from running and just haven’t gotten back into my routine. Probably won’t run tomorrow either because I loaded and entire dumpster with junk from my house today.

Had a weak moment with my sobriety. When cleaning out my garage I found an old fentanyl nasal spray bottle. It was completely dry, but I could see residue in the bottom. I probably would have done it if there wasn’t such a huge risk of death, given that I had no idea how much was in there when I lost it. I guess I should still be proud because there was a time where I would have tried to do it one way or another.

My house had a ventilated basement room that the previous owner used as a dark room, I used it as a grow room for a while, and then as a place to smoke when it was cold outside.

Once I quit smoking that room was basically lost to me. It smells so terrible it’s unbelievable.

I’m trying to clean it, but everything is coated in a thick sticky cigarette residue. I threw everything inside away, including the carpet, but cleaning the walls and ceiling is sucking.

Just wrap the planet in tint film

Such an embarrassing thing to wear

I use micropore tape to prevent nipple chaffing when running. 2 strips in an x pattern if you sweat heavily.

My partner’s grandma worked at a mental health/substance abuse clinic for the rich and famous. It’s like a spa with doctors, from what she said. They had some kind of system where people who really need privacy arrive in blacked out cars and get an entirely one on one experience.

I’m sure there’s plenty of clinics like that.
