@damnyouwillis.bsky.social Seems like around September 20th the Dumbing of Age RSS feed started misbehaving. I can't get my RSS reader to consume it any longer, going to it directly works, but if I try to create a proxy for it in Feedburner or any other proxy, it fails.

@damnyouwillis.bsky.social Seems like around September 20th the Dumbing of Age RSS feed started misbehaving. I can't get my RSS reader to consume it any longer, going to it directly works, but if I try to create a proxy for it in Feedburner or any other proxy, it fails.

It's giving an HTTP 426 response code, which would mean that the client needs to upgrade to HTTPS, but that's for requests on HTTPS already, so something is broken? The feed URL I'm using is www.dumbingofage.com/feed/ which gives an HTTP 200 in a browser, but 426 in any RSS client/proxy I attempt.

I guess on the up side I've got a month's worth of Dumbing of Age to catch up on now, but on the down side if my RSS reader can't notify me when new comics drop, my ADHD will let months go at a time without my seeing a new comic.

The "god-in-a-box" generated a fortune cookie for her. Seriously. This is the same sort of generic shit that you'd find vague and mildly quaint from a cookie, why is it "perfect" when the lie machine poops it out? These people have rotted dreck where their mind used to be if it was ever there.

It should be in the first paragraph that Dan J. is on the ballot without a party designation, and without INCUMBENT next to his name, instead of buried in paragraph 14 well under heinous nonsense. We're well past the point where journalistic malpractice has been the norm, but come on @reuters.com.

Seriously. This is the level of dumb shits we're being pulled down into the muck because of (not this imagined voter who doesn't know what incumbent means, this brainrotted chucklefuck who believes in a world where everyone is that person.)

Seriously, the amount of water being carried for this admin by people in the press who bury the plain truths down in paragraph 14 could drown the world for a million years.

If someone wants the incumbent, sees (R) INCUMBENT on their ballot, and doesn't rank that person higher than the non (R) INCUMBENT on their ballot... maybe that's on them? Even if J's intention was to deceive, it's really easy to know what's going on here and I've no sympathy for anyone "fooled."

This is ultimate evil. If you believe that empathy leads you away from goodness, there's no depth to which you will not sink and you should maybe interrogate that aspect of your being before you try to espouse your beliefs as the guiding principles for any form of government.

What was he supposed to do? It was a horseshit question. Was he supposed to be somber and serious to reassure us all that he’s not a sleeper agent? He very calmly and politely handed that idiot his ass because that idiot was acting in bad faith. We need more of that, not less

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

It's amazing that Couch Diddler here thinks it's Galaxy brain thinking to just choose to not stay in (or heaven forbid, don't start) meaningless wars because... Reasons?

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

I feel like a mad man that this attitude persists. Apple has always been form over function. It's been this way forever. Sure, if "these days" goes back to the early 90's, this is a perfect metaphor for Apple design "these days."

Zallard, who you've probably seen from his Blindfolded GDQ speedruns and in my Punch-Out videos, has been having a tough time lately. He had a stroke a couple years ago, and recently had ankle surgery that left him nearly unable to walk. Please show him some support! He certainly deserves it.

zallard1@zallard1.bsky.social

I feel bad that I haven’t been online in a bit, but between my neck/head hurting a lot in similar ways to when I had the stroke, my ankle which still hasn’t recovered a year+ after surgery, and the 50+ other things I’m depressed about, I just haven’t felt well enough to interact with anyone lately.

My ballot arrived in the mail today. I've never been more primed to rip into a slate and vote. I live in a deeply red state, so the options are never great, but I do my best to vote for the best possible option and it probably doesn't shock you to learn that it's almost never a Republican. Vote!

I remember at the beginning of EGS people were coming out of the woodwork to defend its nonsense saying that competition was good for the PC gaming space. I couldn't get anyone to believe that this is only true if there's an honest attempt at competing. Clearly Epic is never going to rise to that.

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

They fundamentally misunderstand why Steam is where it is today and they don't seem remotely interested in trying to replicate a fraction of its features to become an earnest competitor.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

With respect, even in best terms, this nightmare doesn't end in 23 days. It's going to take maybe a decade or longer to set to right everything that has been broken or has been exposed as a preexisting break. 23 days until we can grab the wheel to start turning the ship, but it doesn't end there.

The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.

I want artificial sweeteners you gianormous sack of rancid diseased genitalia. For that matter, I'm pretty hip on artificial flavors too. Candy banana in particular is the shit, give me all the imagined flavor wonders. We didn't master nature to have a Runt that tastes like regular banana, but rock.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

What I don't want is artificial intelligence and just calling it super intelligence because the statistically average response beats your intelligence won't ever convince me otherwise.

On the one hand, fuck Jack Thompson. On the other hand, fuck the government of the state of Florida. I hope they both get wrecked.

"Thompson, who lives in Florida, is clearly unhappy with various GTA 6 promotional partnerships being enacted across the state. 'If you don't understand that government promotion of commercial interests is fascism then we have very little to talk about,' Thompson told me."

The news cycle is extra fricked up today (on top of its usual). This is NOT the time to be apolitical and/or apathetic. Fellow influencers and content creators, I don't care if you have a "no politics" rule in chat, being apolitical is wrong and you cannot claim ignorance. Tell people to vote.
