You can get a decision with no impact to your credit score.
When you think a person is extremely wrong, but the whole reason you do the things you do is in hopes you'll make some small difference so that people like him can look back and say they were right all along.

My wife plays with Chat GPT as an interpreter of dreams. The results are surprisingly lucid and compelling. “Hallucination” and confabulation are basically the job, in this context features rather than flaws. Astrologers also may need to seek alternative employment.

maybe the supreme court will notice an insurrection when it is against them.
"Like 1980s televangelism with its gold-plated cowboy boots, mansions, private jets, and a dose of of God on the side, bitcoin is all about the price chart with a small helping of cypherpunk ideology." @jp_koning https://jpkoning.blogspot.com/2024/01/do-bitcoin-etfs-conflict-with-bitcoins.html

A form-letter e-mail from the campaign of or a PAC supporting Donal Trump (it say from "President Trump") whose subject line is "I want to meet %First%", presumably a template key for first name that the sender failed to replace.
he can be your retribution. but he is incapable of being your renaissance.

it’s darkly amusing that the contemporary Republican Party can be characterized as RINOs vs Rhinos. https://www.kkoworld.com/kitablar/ejen-ionesko-kergedan-eng.pdf
So, my wasted day, it turns out there are mysterious incompatibilities between BlueHost and Apple Mail. (With Spectrum maybe somehow in the mix as well?)

@paninid definitely. people are not persuaded by just the arguments they hear, but by the communities they belong to. belonging to a place like here, participating and finding some real fellowship here, rather than a place like there, is a step towards opening up to better ways.
it’s easy and often justified to condemn crypto, but let’s not forget that the real action in money laundering, corruption, and reinforcement of oligarchy sits at the intersection of the conventional financial system and the political system. https://www.levernews.com/the-oligarch-exemption-for-new-business-disclosure-rules/ ht @mike_kraft
it’s a mistake to mistake condemnation for contribution.
again, “trafficking” is just the name people give transportation for purposes they don’t like. although here it is so broadly defined as to include even the suggestion of the possibility of transportation. https://jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-travel-bans-proposed-in ht @dangillmor
@ionizedgirl@toot.cat @llimllib i am struggling basically with the issue described here, Apple Mail refuses to load images from a particular site (even after I've cleaned the tags to be the simplest <img src="...">) that every other mail client i've tested (local and web, including icloud.com) load fine. it's not a privacy-settings issue, just images from this site (which i'm making a newsletter of as an exercise).
i wonder if the nonstandard header isn't the issue.
@ionizedgirl@toot.cat @llimllib (no, it's not. i can serve images with this "host-header" header set, and Apple Mail will display them. i think it must be some subtlety in some providers' HTTP/2 handling upsetting Apple Mail, sending a near identical response in HTTP/1.1 works fine.)
(sorry to spam you with Today's Little Obsession!)
@ionizedgirl@toot.cat The curl request that generates the response includes an old-school Host: header (which points not to shared.bluehost.com, but the host i intended to hit). perhaps curl displays that as a kind of translation since humans are accustomed to working with that header. It's a WordPress blog, almost certainly reverse proxied for sure, probably from HTTP/1.1 because that's lots more accessible to accept and generate by hand.
@ionizedgirl@toot.cat good call! it decodes to 'shared.bluehost.com'
