I saw an operating steam train on the weekend and I get why autistic people like them so much now

I'll put train videos on for the kids, but there's so much more going on with a steam train.

Steam is billowing out of everywhere, they're just this massive piece of infrastructure, it's like taming the elements with an unholy union of water and fire - natural enemies in the wild, and you get to feel like a hero because you're helping people get to places.

What do you do on the internet these days that doesn't require signing in?

I put linux on an old laptop for my kids to play with, but I want them to see me using it as well so it's not just seen as a kids' toy.

My plan was to browse the internet on it from time to time, but I don't want to sign into anything like my emails on there.

I've just been completely at a loss to think ofthings to do on this laptop that aren't Wikipedia, news websites, and search.

Is there anything else to do on the internet these days than login and doomscroll?

Comic book idea: Cheney is trying to plan 9/11 and Iraq in the DC Universe where Superman exists

How does the embodiment of Actually Existing America get any work done when the embodiment of America As A Concept is flying around outside with super hearing?

The way Minion Death Cult have been saying 'conservative goths' on their recent episodes has been fucking killing me

They found a conservative goths Facebook group a little while ago. And it was funny then, the idea is so stupid.

But they've talked about memes from the group for a few weeks now and they say the phrase 'conservative goths' so casually. It's not even a bit any more, it's just a normal phrase to them.

And that just makes it funnier. The funniest part of the most recent episode was when Alex would just say 'conservative goths' like it was a normal phrase in a normal sentence.

They need to find a new group, I don't think I can take another straight line delivery of conservative goths.

Has anyone else had to deal with joining multiple Facebook pages under the same business account?

I'm working with a business to sort out all their Facebook and Instagram pages, and try get them all grouped under one Business account.

They're a musical instrument importer who have a bunch of pages that have been created by different people over the years and they've had trouble migrating them all into once place where they can see everything.

They have access to all the pages and Instagram profiles, but some are through a company profile they created, some through the personal profile of a guy that works there, and some other loose accounts.

They've sent requests from the controlling profiles to the account they want to have access to all the page, but the requests are sitting pending in the blackhole of Meta's backend.

They've sent requests, tried to get in touch with support, and even sent over documents proving the existence of the business to Facebook, but nothing happens.

All the help articles that are the first results wherever you search aren't useful either. They don't reflect the messy nature of Facebook tinkering with everything and the reality of trying to share access to pages that have existed since 2007.

I'd love to hear if you've had any experience with this. If I can get this sorted out it should mean more work for me down the line with them.

How many people do you need to present to on a work call before you can refer to them as 'chat'?

Just beyond your team?

When there's enough people you'd have to click that little arrow in Teams to see everyone?

Anytime you're in presenter mode and everyone else is on mute?

Let me know, I might say it some time

What's your personal fifteen 9/11s?

One time I bought avocado dip and as I was bringing it inside it slid off all the other stuff it was on and the container cracked so I had to find another larger container to put it in so it wouldn't go bad

If the CIA just decides who wins an election based on the interests of the ruling class, why didn't Hilary win 2016?

I've seen discussions on here about Biden winning this year because he works in the ruling class's interest.

If the CIA really did just push a button at Langley and decide the next president, why not Hilary?

She's a corporate ghoul like the rest of them, loves war, everyone expected her to win, and the election was close enough to be plausible either way. She would have been a more reliable, or at least knowable, asset to the deep state than Trump.

She would have been the same mid president as Trump, but it would have been more of a banality of evil approach. Everyone's material conditions would have gotten worse in the same way but there wouldn't have been the media circus around everything she did.

So why do you think the 'most qualified' person for the job didn't win last time? And what could that say about this year?
