Commented in 850 people missing after Maui wildfires, mayor says
850 missing people is an astounding number for such a small area and nobody seems to know anything. I have a friend living on the other side of the island, and people there are angry at the entire handling of the situation. Resignations are already happening. Another strange fact, John Pelletier, of the Las Vegas massacre fruitless investigation fame is the commander in Maui.

Commented in The weirdness of youtube's algorithm
It is weird. Some of the nonsense dumped in my feed is truly astounding. However,sometimes they send a gem,like the first season of Paramount+ Strange New Worlds,which I got to watch for free.

Commented in Brave Browser Review
Well, after a few weeks of using I really do not miss Firefox. With several things I have noticed that the browser doesn't get identified as "Brave", but as "Chromium", which is not really strange, since that is the base of the browser (read: Brave is a Chromium-fork/spinoff). For instance, my phone sees the browser as such when I use KDEconnect and when I check up on my webserver it is exactly the same thing. It is not a problem, but one of the details that are encountered.
I have several extensions installed, which went really smooth, no reboots required. I am a Linux-man, so I was already used to that. ;-) I need way less extensions to preserve my privacy, which I find very handy.
Surfing still goes smoothly, the rendering of fonts is nice and crisp and the speed is constantly pretty darn high, in contrary to Firefox, what could freeze with a few tabs with video-content open. Starting a TOR- window is extremely fast and it shows that safety and speed go hand-in-hand pretty well.
I am satisfied upto now and would really recommend it for a test-spin. :-)

Commented in Gun-related Deaths Have Decreased Overall American Life Expectancy
The U.S. Atomic Energy Act of 1946 expressly forbids private nuclear weapons.
How does that comply with the second amendment? Does it only include arms that are light enough to bear with your arms?
Not sure where you're going with the loose talk and the race baiting ..
Same place you were when you said that.
Hey, I'm a person from a country other than the USA. It's pretty obvious to us in the "rest of the world" that your gun use is killing you.
are you also against reproductive rights
"reproductive rights" is a strange and nebulous thing to call it. In general, I'm definitely pro-choice. Doesn't mean I think some of those choices are necessarily good. Also in general, I think politicians should butt out of medicine. Perhaps I include drug use as a medical issue in that.
Although I do think society probably needs to weigh in on issues like designer babies. Is that part of "reproductive rights"?

Commented in Homophobic, religious and race hate crimes on public transport are soaring
What’s now called bullying used to be part of growing up.
Sadly, I am impossibly old, so I remember what you are now calling ‘part of growing up’ to be bullying. It was always bullying, always will be. Whether one would get to grow up, or not, being somewhat orthogonal to the problem of facing bullies in the moment. From the Norman Rockwell tone, I’m guessing there were not a ton of stabbing homicides growing up?
the only people who’s words should be able to actually hurt are the ones you care about
By “the ones you care about,” is that to mean more the words, more the people, measures of both?
Everything else is just noise.
Well, hypothetically in a world in which someone was being an ass, and it was up to you to call them down for it, then I suppose it would be strange if you were to get too flummoxed by the fact they had an ethnicity or identity of some kind. I mean, it’s all a hypothetical in which someone for some reason needs to be reminded of their place and just because in these fantasies they happen to all be trans women of color, that’s supposed to all be on you somehow? I’m no expert, but maybe try to elaborate and expand on this fantasy life. Make it richer, more complex, even wholesome. Check your assumptions, break a few, invent a few new ones now and again. Change it up again as necessary.
Maybe if social media had been around in the 60s, my generation would be just as bad
"Bad" meaning hypersensitive to slights however real or imagined, or brutally murdered by being dragged by a car for who they were? Because it’s not clear from context which.
I’m glad I didn’t grow up in that world and feel sorry for the ones who have to.
Face one’s bullies now or in the mirror later, one may choose.

As a resident of ex-Austria-Hungary and half Jewish I am always glad to see essays on that strange period - Franz Joseph I and his wife Sisi are protagonists in my blog under construction too (Wittgenstein, Canetti, Musil and the rest mentioned int he article are my favorites too.)

Commented in Photos: Dog stuck in tree for almost 60 years without rotting
Our family, we have dogs. We have them for a reason, they hunt, that is their reason to be with us. Once they are trained, they are an essential part of living. We had this special one though, seemed to be apart from the rest, real smart, independent, but still part of the family, as we liked it. Deferential. That's how we like them.
But this one was special for sure, she'd wonder off and come back different, different some how.
Anyway. She'd hunt, not gun scared or nothing like that.
Then she'd start bringing things back, strange things...oh lost caps and boots and stuff, those are usual, but strange things, like glasses you use to watch stage shows, tubes with rolled up ship maps or coins with weird faces, like something from a carni show. Dogs bring back things, but not these things, not from these parts...and now this...what is this?
She's been gone 3 years now, we miss her, even those weird things she'd bring home. She loved thunderstorms, got excited at the first whiff of rain...that smell we all know, she'd get excited and such. So would we. Maybe something in common, who knows.
But now, now, it's not the same, we get scared when we hear a distant thunder. We know that old familiar smell is coming, the one that used to bring excitement and comfort. Oh no, this brings something not like us. Something we used to welcome and invite into our lives. When we were together.
A rustling, like old dried branches put together to sweep up dreams and aspirations, beckoning to join in the hunt, the tree where the treasure is.
We hear the scratching outside, we know she's here again, the dog we took in and nurtured. We set her out to hunt, and she did, but she got trapped. Everyone looked and looked for the obvious places to find a trapped family member, even the sniffers in the family, the dogs. We never found her and she never came home.
We hear the dry and dead branches scratching for a way back in. That dog can hunt.
She is here now. Just outside.
Home now.
What is home?
I opened the door with shotgun in hand as my family screams nooo...I opened the door.
And see or feel nothing, I think I was supposed to, yet there is nothing there, no pounce, no biting teeth, nothing at all.
The porch is lit, the chairs are all there...the distant lights across the lake, as they should be.
Where then is the horror.
I know it is out there.
It is not a she any longer, not anything we recognize or know any more.

Commented in Mormon cult leaders charged with forcing almost daily sex rituals on underage girls
I don't differentiate between different collections of absurd beliefs, so in that sense, if you use "cult" to mean the body of adherents of a religion, all of the things you listed are cults. If you use it to mean an aberrant set of beliefs, you need to define a cutoff for what should be considered "normal", and this is a matter of opinion. If you want mine, any of the Abrahamic religions and their spinoffs qualify as bizarre and immoral, regardless of how many followers they have. Others that are more philosophy/culture based like Shinto and Buddhism have strange elements to them but I wouldn't call them "cults" by the second definition (with the caveat that my knowledge of them is limited).
