The issue with that in his situation is 911 does not take kindly to "Hey, can you call my dad and tell him I ran out of gas?"

If it's not a true emergency that they are expected to handle, emergency services frown on calling them.

His father's argument is legitimate regarding needing a cellular carrier unless the poster would never unexpectedly need to contact family for help.

My question is: Can you block the IPs it's phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

Connection: A relationship viewed by a girl, then a boy

Lyrics:
Caught you
Sniffing my boxers
Who the fuck does that
At Red Lobster?
Creepy
Like when Tom Cruise laughs
That's how your finger
Felt in my ass
I'm gonna come to your house on the back of a horse with
A bunch of villagers carrying torches
Most of whom dislike monsters like you, girl
The way
Your kisses tasted
Skeeve me the hell out
Like shitting naked
Why would
I wanna stay friends?
Rather get raped by
Clowns again
I'm gonna come to your house on the back of a horse with
A bunch of villagers carrying torches
Most of whom dislike monsters like you, girl
I'm gonna come to your house on the back of a horse with
A bunch of villagers carrying torches
Most of whom dislike monsters like you, girl
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again
I rub the lotion on your skin
Or else I get the hose again

Connection: Levine

Lyrics:
Watch out, watch out
It's Conner!
I've got it all and I'm gettin' more
But I never fall, beat 'em all
'Cause you know I'm so humble
I'm so humble, I'm so humble
I'm a superstar, I kick down the door
Got the money and the girls
And I'm also so humble
I'm so humble
I'm so humble, I'm so humble
Bar none, I am the most humble-est
Number one at the top of the humble list
My apple crumble is by far the most crumble-est
But I act like it tastes bad outta humbleness
The thing about me that's so impressive
Is how infrequently I mention all of my successes
I pooh-pooh it when girls say that I should model
My belly's full from all the pride I swallow
I'm the most courteous-biddable, hospitable
Reverential, normal-ary Arnold Schwarzen-orgarary
I hate compliments, put 'em in the mortuary
I'm so ordinary that it's truly quite extraordinary
It's not a competition, but I'm winnin'
You won't hear me admit it
Because I'm so timid and submissive
I treat fat people like they were thin
Talk simple for the dumbos
I'm so humble
I'm not your normal definition of a rockstar
I don't complain when my private jet is sub-par
Ya mom's old, but I'll ask if she's your sister
People say I'm charming, bu-but I beg to differ
I feel more humble than Dikembe Mutombo
After a stumble left him covered in a big pot o' gumbo
I guess in a way, bein' gracious is my weakness
People say I'm so unpretentious for a genius
I've got it all and I'm gettin' more
But I never fall, beat 'em all
'Cause you know I'm so humble
I say that with no ego
I'm so humble
It's just good manners
They say I'm a ten, but I'm an eight at best
"Plus two, " says you
Not me, 'cause I'm so humble
Mama raised me right
I'm so humble, I'm so humble
Watch out, watch out

Connection: Worlds

Lyrics:
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening?
Hymns of offering
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering
Well all the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Don't know why
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known
Yeah, I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
Oh, it's the world I have known

I found this on a Reddit thread, hopefully this gets you on the right track:

"I think checking for the GOG sp. z o.o signature is good enough but checking with AV can also be good. If the exe file has been tampered with, then the digital signature would be invalidated. If the bin files have been tampered with, then running the untampered exe will give the error: https://imgur.com/a/9e5lIZ7. They should be legit as long as it has the legit GOG digital signature. GOG has different signatures for older and newer games btw. You can use https://github.com/hippie68/gogcheck to check the games."

The manufacturers make what's needed to meet demand. If demand is smaller, they make less.

[-] Schwim@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

Your argument is "protesting is dumb because it's going to happen anyway" which, historically, has been a bad position to hold.

I don't know the nuances in the situation but if AI were learning on artists work then putting those artists out of business, I can understand why they might want some regulation or restriction in place.

Connection: The color black

Lyrics:
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

I'm sorry but due to lack of formatting and verbosity, it's hard to tell. Was there a question? Is it just "how to stop wanting physical touch?"

[-] Schwim@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

I see. If they don't answer(unless they're just terribly overrun with contact), I would say it leans toward removing something that doesn't fit their agenda.

Connection: Black of night comes after twilight

Lyrics:
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Feeling rich, feeling poor, feeling nothing more
Self destructive on a rollercoaster fireball
Cut her tongue, don't believe a word she says
She's on a hunt, cooking, cooking, cooking misery
Left my heart on the shelf for way too long
Sick and tired, picking up from the dirty floor
I saw the line of snakes that came to me
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was
Only for me and you, woah-woah-oh-oh
No more broken dreams, I feel like a loaded gun
Spitting bullets at your armor of mind control
Cut her tongue, don't believe a word she says
She's on a hunt, cooking, cooking, cooking misery
Cannot think, cannot talk, cannot do it right
Can't call the doctor, he's as sick as you and I
I saw the line of snakes that came to me
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was
Only for me and you, woah-woah-oh
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was
Only for me and you, woah-woah-oh-oh
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over that thing called love
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was
Only for me and you, woah-woah-oh
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was
Only for me and you, woah-woah-oh-oh
Please, let it grow where it belongs
There in the dark, where the shadows are born
Leave it alone
I'm sure it will find it's way to redeem and blossom
'Cause I know
The black rose will find it's home

Connection: Juice without the gin will keep you sober.

Lyrics:
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path of must we
Just because the son has come
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want

Markdown is super useful, but this aspect of it is not intuitive at all.

Thank you very much for the tip, I've grown accustomed to the cut/paste of piefed and keep forgetting to check the formatting on the lemmy side.

I suspect you're going to get mostly sarcasm and mockery tropes but there have always been countries that have allied themselves with American interests. When you say "when help when needed", if you're thinking of an actual war on home turf, invasion or something similar, that's unlikely to ever happen due to our geographical position. If you mean financial help, we take loans from a lot of different countries. If you're asking about assistance when we engage in war elsewhere, again, that would be all the allied nations.

Militarily speaking, the US is still one of the superpowers just because of the mind-boggling amount of money we spend on it. There's not many countries that can compete with just the sheer number of US things that are designed to go boom.

Things like goodwill and assistance are currently in a downward transitional trend due to the current administration. It seems a lot of countries feel ostracized by the US due to Trump's constant foolish and often hostile actions towards them but these types of things follow an ebb and flow, the next administration to reside in office will begin the process of patching things up and relationships will improve.
