#10 is a lot less funny if you know that Wayne shot lifelong friend Ward Bond in the face, in real life, with a shotgun, on a hunting trip. Apparently Bond looked to Wayne like a bird. The shotgun used was left to Wayne by Bond in his will.
Talking democrats here. Talking out of your ass is your face. #7 gets me everytime. We can have vaccine mandates but... 1. Congress is exempt and they are the most important group in the US in their own minds. 2. US postal service is exempt and they are going door to door across the whole freaking country. 3. Criminals crossing the border from countries all over the boarder are exempt and being shipped country wide.
He made a whackload of war movies as well...I can just imagine the number of extras running around with weapons on the set of "The Longest Day" and "Sands of Iwo Jima."
Not that uncommon of an occurrence when bird hunting, actually. When those birds fly, they can go just about any direction and speed. When all the hunters are trying to track the bird with their shotguns, it can get a little tricky. Recall it happened with Dick Cheney as well. Likely was at some distance and only a few pellets.
Wirecutter, I kept coming across each meme, and wanted to write about it, but then I came across the next one, that was even better. So I had to wait til the end, and found that they are all so good that to single one out would be unfair to the rest of them. Job well done, keep up the good work.
WC, or anyone currently enjoying FaceBook posts; I have been NUKED by FarceBook and apparently I pissed them off enough that they tracked down and NUKED my anonymous accounts (even the one that played nice and just posted family pics) What is the current best alternative to FB? I have heard Parlor and MeWe but haven't tried either one... Any recommendations for a Social Media platform that has heard of and respects the 1st Amendment?
MSG stop FB and Twitter. Get off social media. You want to send your family some latest info or pics? Write a effin letter. Put some pics in the envelope. Trust me it carries way more sentiments. Are you an adult?
The reason that Facebook wins is network effect. If you want to move to a different platform, then everyone you want to contact with has to move. And everyone they want to be in contact has to move (or have two accounts).
The other major problem, which you're experiencing, is that you don't own what you post. Once you post it, Facebook owns it. They can delete it, copy it, share, or do whatever the heck they want with it.
We will ignore the spyware that Facebook uses to track people's locations, web surfing, and various devices.
Offline, snail-mail file sharing (letters, packages, printed photos) is probably a good idea. You could step it up a notch, copy all of the photos that you want to share with family members onto a USB thumb-drive, and snail mail one to each family member. Bonus is that all of your photos are now remotely backed up.
I just recently purchased 2TB (2,000 x GB) thumb drives for $20. I haven't had a chance to play with them yet, but my plan is to create a top level folder with the date (2022-01-04), copy all my photos I want to share, maybe have a write up or two in a text file, and ship it to family members that I want to keep in contact with. Two identical thumb-drives per person.
The hope (okay, maybe wishful thinking) is that in a month, they'll do a similar thing, and send one of them back to me. Each month we exchange thumb-drives, each month we have a remote backup of all of the pictures that we want to keep.
Easy? Not as easy as Facebook. More private? Yes. More secure? Yes, we own the thumb drives, we control the pictures (and text).
Irrelevant side note: I've done something similar with hard drives with important backups of family photos scattered to family in 4 or 5 different states. Time to refresh the backups.
You don't own the data on those thumb drives unless it's encrypted. You do know that the USPS can and will open any letter or package they deem might be a "threat" and examine its contents, don't you?
We are using the term "own" in different ways. If the data is on the thumb-drive, Facebook (or any other online agency) can't suddenly make your photo disappear.
If you want to prevent other people from accessing your files, then yes, obviously, encryption is the approach to take. That's a pretty lengthy subject for a different time -- and greatly exacerbates file sharing.
I'm glad you pointed out that the U.S. Postal Service is not above snooping on the contents of what you ship. I was assuming that you were sharing pictures of little Billy's birthday party and didn't really care if Brandon takes a gander at them (hmmm, given his pedo tendencies, your point is even more relevant.)
As long as we're at it, there is the concept of authentication -- knowing who sent the thumb-drive (versus Brandon altering or adding to it) versus encryption -- ensuring that only authorized people are are able to read it.
Certain ethnic groups will be able to sqeeze out a baby in record time, given the huge numbers of babies with different fathers they have already dropped.

Funny, this article says he popped him in the butt. Didn't kill him, though, unlike Baldwin.

That's why we shoot em before they fly up here in North Maine.
DeleteThe old man used to call it "ground sluicing".
Saves a lot of ammo as well.
Funny part about Dick Cheney's, even after he shot somebody, his approval rating was higher than Harris'
Deletebecause the guy was a lawyer if I remember correctly

Gotta be distance. Anyone can hit a 20 to life sentence at their feet. ;)
