In best case scenario, I can interpret this as they sewed/tied the raccoon hide like improvised clothing. Made some kind of improvised straps or belts to hold the hide onto the dog.

Worst case scenario, we're talking about literally sewing the hide onto the dog's skin. I'm inclined to not believe this option, because holly fuck, imagine the pain! I don't think the dog would have just struggled against this. It would have bitten the hell out of the kids.
But if this latter version is what actually happened, I have to ask, was Lincoln an actual sociopath?

@Mr_NutterButter Maybe because it reminds you of XP days. Can't say that I blame you. I have a high res version of the original Bliss somewhere around.

@PinochetsCommieCopter
Oh yeah, I definitely remember my last time when I lost an online game and went on to kill a child. /s

I'm not surprised that these crimes keep happening. I'm surprised that the police are stupid enough to believe such bullshit.

@PinochetsCommieCopter
I haven't finished watching it yet, but why does it feel like it's one of those "selling hamburgers?" cases?

@j @icedquinn
Uh huh... Sure. Let me ask you something. How many mirrors do you think a Kenyan household has on average?
I'm sure the study is accurate, because it does make sense when you realize children from US or Canada are gonna come across far more mirrors and shiny surfaces on a daily basis, and get a chance to "exercise" their ability to recognize what is going on in those reflections.

Maybe you think this proves something about the inherent genetic potential for intelligence in people from Kenya, or Peru, or whatever. But I think the title referencing culture is more accurate. When you live in poverty, in dirt houses, you're not gonna have the privilege to play with shiny mirrors. So a cultural effect.

@j I don't get it. Is this supposed to be a joke, or just straight up racism?

@icedquinn @djsumdog @r000t @picofarad
Do you remember when fact checker sites started being a thing? Cause I remember still being very interested in the Atheist scene when I heard about it. So it would likely have been in a time period when I still thought Obama and the Democrats were the bee's knees.
I remember thinking it was a terrible idea, and that by default you can't have an organization that decrees what is "The TRUTH™️ ". No single person or organization can decide what is true. I just saw it as a infiltration point for corruption and authoritarianism.

"Reality has a liberal bias"

Up to early 2010s, I used to hear this said unironically all the time. And from people with far more prestige than random reddit accounts.
Can't say I gave it any attention as to when people stopped saying it, but I don't remember the last time I heard it. It can't have been anytime soon.

Now I hear Tim Pool say something similar "truth has a right wing bias these days", and I cringe every time, because I've seen enough of history to know one day this will again change.

Apparently Vance criticized my country for cancelling elections based on flimsy suspicious of Russian interference. And he's kinda right.

The accusations against Russia are quite serious. But the evidence we have so far is lousy. We have strong signs that Călin Georgescu, the candidate who was supposedly Russia's tool, did campaign financing fraud. And that's not gonna be hard to prove when the moron had the balls to declare in official papers that he spent $0. That's right, he reported to the agencies that track these things that he spent nothing to campaign. Riiight.

The problem is, I'm not sure if this crime itself is enough to merit cancelling the elections the way they were. So we still need to prove that Russian meddling.
There is some evidence so far, of a TikTok network of foreign IP accounts that botted to create fake hype for the guy. But there's still no clear tie to Russia, even if the modus operandi looks like it.

And considering how bad our prosecutors are at digging up evidence, I honestly think we're kinda fucked. The people are very unhappy.

@Turkleton Who doesn't like a bit of extra radiation to spice up their lives.

@LukeAlmighty I mean, what did you expect? The Fedi psychos, racists, and trannies to come together and hold your hand?

@zonk I get that people can have a bad experience, but how do you end up jumping ship from Arch all the way to MacOS?! I'd assume someone would revert back to whatever distro they used before.

And if somehow his first experience with Linux was Arch... well, there's your problem. You'd have to be literally insane.

"After everything I've done for you"
And this is how you know these people are psychopaths. They don't help students, or people in general, because they care. They "help" because they expect to receive something in return. At the very least, we see here that he expects undying loyalty.

It's been a while since I've came to this conclusion: progressivism, wokeness, or however you want to call this entire ideology of the left, has attracted all the psychopaths in society. A psychopath thrives on manipulating people, but to do that, they must be viewed as good individuals by those around them. What easier way can that be achieved but through an ideology that all it demands from you to be deemed "good" is to fly a butchered rainbow flag, and repeat DIE mantras every day. "Diversity is our strenght, and orange man bad".
These aren't good people. They were the wolves in our society all along, that found the most stupid sheep to hide among, because that was the easiest place for them to do their damage unimpeded.
