TIL of PISS CHRIST: a controversial depiction of a crucifix immersed in urine created by artist and photographer Andres Serrano (aussie.zone)

Immersion (Piss Christ) WikiA 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a small glass tank of the artist’s urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition,[1] which was...

He also made the art for Metallica’s Load and ReLoad. Blood and Semen and Piss and Semen.

Personally, after being on Android since the first Motorola droid and switching to iPhone a few years ago with the 12, I wouldn’t move back to Android at all.

I had Motorola for a while, then the LG g series for a bit, then galaxies until the s8, and then a pixel 4xl.

Google pissed me off with their warranty and support. My pixel had the internal battery cable fuck off and they wouldn’t repair it even though they acknowledged it was design fault. Because I was one week out of warranty.

I hated Samsungs bloatware, Lg was gone, Motorola was pretty nonexistent, and I didn’t want a Chinese owned brands like one+, oppo, or Huawei.

So Apple was pretty much it. I got a regular iPhone 12, and everything I wanted to do was easier than Android. Apple had a built in app for it without me having to fuck around with side loading or installing third party apps.

Android is undoubted better for customization and if you love having extremely fine grained control over your phone. Plus the benefit of being able to side load completely different loads of Android. You have MUCH more control over your environment than an iPhone.

Personally, I don’t give a shit about that. I do that shit at work 60 hours a week. For my personal devices I just want the shit to work. I also want Google in my life as little as possible.

Earthwormjim91,

Yeah I opened a ticket a month before my warranty was up. My battery meter kept going to just a ? and not doing anything. After a while of fucking around with settings, and going back and forth between beta and release versions of android (which google said it was my own problem for being on their beta in the first place), I just got tired of it.

I was able to factory reset it and get it to stay on a battery percentage for long enough at the store to trade it in and I was do0ne. After I traded it, Google finally emailed me back saying it was a known battery issue but since I was out of warranty it would cost me a $250 charge to fix. A slap in the face.

Bobcat/red lynx. Lynx Rufus.

Earthwormjim91,

Yeah bobcats here have wild variation.

Though it is worth it to say it is the peak of summer here, especially in the south. Bobcats here are sporting their summer coats while the picture of the lynx you linked looks like it has a winter coat on. Ours do change quite a bit for winter, though obviously more dramatically for the northern climates than Florida.

Earthwormjim91,

You do realize that says semi-monthly, right? Which is twice a month.

So $4400 a month which is right on par with $6500 a month before taxes ($78k).

Earthwormjim91,

It doesn’t. They just didn’t read the actual link.

That’s $2194 semi monthly. So $4400 a month.

Brushing immediately after anything acidic,like coffee, is highly damaging to the enamel of your teeth.

No the most important part is saying they ain’t shit as you eat another one

My wife puts butter on cinnamon rolls like crazy.

Mueller didn’t half ass anything. He conducted his investigation and determined that crimes were likely committed, but that he didn’t have the power to bring charges in his position as special counsel and it would be up to the AG.

Which is true. A DOJ special counsel is not the same thing as the independent counsel that used to exist, which was what Ken Starr was when he investigated Clinton.

A DOJ special counsel is completely beholden to the AG and DOJ policies and can’t bring charges without the AG signing off on them.

If you actually read the mueller report, it’s extremely damning and he turned it over to the AG and Congress to do something about it. The AG declined to bring any charges based on a DOJ memorandum that says a sitting POTUS cannot be charged. The House impeached Trump over the findings and the Senate failed to convict and remove him.

The current AG could still bring criminal charges over the conclusion of the report, but at this point it’s been so highly politicized that it would be impossible to get a conviction on.

Earthwormjim91,

It was the only thing that could have been done when republicans controlled the DOJ and the Senate.

Maybe if people in the Midwest weren’t complete idiots we would have had Clinton instead and not had four years of irreversible damage plus a generation of scotus that is hell bent on dismantling everything.

Earthwormjim91,

It accomplished the third presidential impeachment in history and very likely helped lead to Biden winning and Trump not getting four more years.

Saying absolutely nothing is just defeatism at its best.

Just because it didn’t lead to the right conclusion doesn’t mean it accomplished nothing.

Why are you using median household income for Thailand and median personal income for the US?

Median household income in the US is $71,000.

Earthwormjim91,

Well yeah, they’re pretty open about that.

It’s still running in low power mode when you turn the phone itself off so that I can still ping the Find My network. And it says this when you go to turn the phone off.

Earthwormjim91,

A removable battery wouldn’t do anything about it. They would just include a little unremovable CMOS battery that would be used to power the Bluetooth while the device is off or the main battery is removed.

The entire point of it is so that you can use Find My when the phone is off. If it’s lost, or stolen and they turn the phone off, it can still be found in Find My.

Short of someone outright giving the child the gun, that’s the only option left. If a 9 year old can get to a gun, it’s improperly stored no matter where it is.

Earthwormjim91,

As a gun owner, that’s still improper storage.

Other than my personal carry which stays on my person (or a quick open safe in my nightstand when I’m sleeping), the rest of mine are locked in a safe unloaded, with their magazines stored in a different smaller safe.

If my kids were able to get to the guns, they pose no damage. They would need to be able to get into both safes and intentionally load them to pose any threat to anything.

Otters are only cute to people that don’t know anything about otters.

They’re massive rapists.

Earthwormjim91,

That’s what otters do. If you want to send a message you have to speak their language.

Really though, otters are some of the most viscous little critters. They will rape other animals to death. Then rape their corpses.

Otters are fucked up.

Host your own instance and you can control what you federate and defederate with.

Otherwise you’re probably not going to find an instance that fits all of your wants.

You’ll probably just want to join a piracy geared instance as your home instance if that’s important to you.

Which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever for a cloud gaming platform.

If you don’t own the hardware the game is stored in, you don’t own the game. Which was shown when they closed stadia down and everyone lost all of their games.

Earthwormjim91,

So again, you didn’t actually own the game. You just bought a license to play it on Google’s servers.

Sure give them credit for doing the bare minimum and refunding people. But if you don’t own whatever the game is stored on, you don’t own the game.

Earthwormjim91,

Which is why a game streaming service makes sense.

But that’s all it is. A service. You don’t own anything about it. You pay a few bucks a month and get to play games without having the hassle of having a console or pc.

Cloud gaming makes sense and I’m not arguing against that. But not from an ownership perspective. Cloud gaming is gaming as a service in its purest form. A subscription system is perfect for that.

Earthwormjim91,

Or $20 for thousands of different channels of all kinds of content.

At least be honest about it.

Earthwormjim91,

I’ve got close to 100 channels that I subscribe to and watch regularly. Probably another 300 that I watch occasionally. YouTube makes up 90% of my visual content. The other 10% being sports that isn’t broadcast on YouTube and stuff I watch with my wife.

YouTube has literally anything you could want in visual content.

If you’re having problem keeping your attention span focused, maybe go see a doctor or therapist for adhd or something? Because there is so much shit on YouTube that you should 100% be able to find content to suit you.

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

Earthwormjim91,

That’s entirely bullshit. A restaurant can absolutely pay a living wage and not do tips. Plenty of restaurants do it.

The simple fact is that servers don’t want that. They make more in tips.

Earthwormjim91,

Athletic makes some great NA beers too. Everything from a light lager like you’d expect from something like a bud light all the way up to NA stouts.

Earthwormjim91,

Probably open office

Earthwormjim91,

LibreOffice or whatever the fuck fork they made from it then.

Earthwormjim91,

It took like 3 calls for me to get used to it. Now I wonder why it wasn’t in the bottom right corner the whole time. It’s so much better

Earthwormjim91,

No one ever sells more things by just leaving them the same either.

Earthwormjim91,

It’s a student project in which they’re probably supposed to be approaching it from a business perspective anyway.

In which cases they’re pretty much normal titles. “Director of” is usually a non profit title while the equivalents in this case would be “COO (Chief Operations Officer)” for director of operations. Executive director would be CEO. And then you have usual VP level titles with IT Director and Engineering Director. And then you have two engineers, a mechanical engineer and electrical engineer.

Earthwormjim91,

That’s not their employer. It’s the company they have their 401k retirement plan with.

Empower, John Hancock, fidelity, vanguard, whoever.

Earthwormjim91,

No that’s only for iCloud backups of your iMessages.

Earthwormjim91,

Henry Ford died almost 30 years before Elon Musk was even born.

Earthwormjim91,

Don’t forget when they had the issue with the glass roof flying off on the highway.

Earthwormjim91,

Only thing it’s missing is a Motorola Razr lol.

Everyone had those in 2004

Earthwormjim91,

Just a note on that, but going forward it’s likely that the regular models will lose support when the previous year pro does now that they are doing the chip difference.

So with the 15 having the same chip as the 14 pro, it will probably get one year less support than thr 15 pro.

Earthwormjim91,

A closed minded bisexual would be someone that is only attracted to cisgender people of either sex. So only females that identify as women and males that identify as men.

A pansexual person can be attracted to females that identify as women, men, neither, both, etc. Same with males that identify as men, women, neither, both, etc.

Earthwormjim91,

Good lord, not being sexually attracted to trans folks is not transphobia.

Earthwormjim91,

That’s how a ton of politicians “NYT best sellers” books are done. They’ll use campaign funds to buy up a ton of books and then give them out for free at rallies and shit.

Earthwormjim91,

They only started doing that within the last 5-10 years iirc though

And the list isn’t purely sales numbers anyway as they admitted in the 80s in a legal case. It isn’t mathematically objective but rather done on a subjective editorial scale. They choose which books to have on a subjective scale that doesn’t even have to take sales into account.

Earthwormjim91,

Defining “underwear” probably would come into play too.

A dude in a pair of boxer briefs would probably be fine. A dude in a full on dental floss thin bathing suit like Borat might get into trouble.

Same with a woman. Wearing granny panties and a bra would probably be fine. Wearing exposing lingerie would probably get you arrested for indecency in most places.

Earthwormjim91,

Oh honey

Earthwormjim91,

Sun bears are just weird. They pretty much always look like people in bear suits. It’s hilarious.

Earthwormjim91,

There’s saying stupid things as a teenager, and then there’s defending child porn.

I’ve said a lot of stupid stuff as a teenager too but never felt like saying child porn should be legal or that it wasn’t abuse. That’s something that you should know by 16.
