Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

I don't think we can, honestly.

Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.

But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can't pardon himself from state charges.

If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don't, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.

Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.

Can he instead just stick a gun in his mouth?

Xbox Game Pass for PC is an incredible value, even with the caveat of having to run windows (which sucks so bad). That's always my top rec for PC gamers.

Elden Ring is still my number one game. It's awesome and will run great on your new PC as well as your deck. It's also got a lot in common with your listed games.

Grounded is a great game as well! It's a reasonably difficult survival crafting game (like Subnautica). Same goes for Return to Moria.

Bingo!

I updated my previous comment with the details I had forgotten. Commenting again since you probably won't see an update.

In summary: google Devon Arthurs. He's a neo-nazi kid who converted to an ISIS wacko and then killed some people and took some others hostage. That's one clear connection.

Yeah but people don't dress up in ugly logo covered clothing and face/body paint and spend millions and millions of dollars to build and fill up specialized stadiums with screaming fans to watch strangers play chess.

A game is a game. The actual stakes are basically the same when I play Mario Kart on my couch as when a couple dozen dudes in tights smash into each other in the cold at the sports balls stadium. There's a winner and non-winners and the outcome means basically nothing to the people spending money to watch and wear their overpriced matching fan attire.

Return to Moria has been really fun! Playing online with my buddy all day the last two days.

Pretty slow moving for a survival/crafting game, but we're both big Tolkien fans and the fan service is pretty great.

Boss fights have been quite interesting and when progression finally happens it feels really satisfying.

Becoming very invested in watching strangers play games for money.

Actually the FBI has been recommending people use more secure communications lately due to Chinese spying through SMS network infrastructure.

I've seen some connections in my research recently, but can't find the article mentioning it. I want to say there were ties between the remains of the AWD (after their leadership was arrested in TX/FL), the 09A (which is quite possibly bring run by state intelligence orgs) and ISIS. I'll look through my notes more and see if I kept the link and I'll update here.

Update: So my memory was kinda close. A kid from AWD, Devin Arthurs, was a neo-nazi who later converted to Islam and was a supporter of ISIS.

I think it is no small coincidence that this kid converted. The ideologies are much more similar than you would think.

Another scary similarity between these two factions is that they both actively trying to recruit from the US military and ask their supporters to join the US military to get training and intelligence access.

Correct.

But a concerning thing to me is that there has been a lot of crossover between some white nationalists and extreme islamist terror orgs over the last decade or so.

They have very similar (conservative) values and goals (accelerationism). One WN group that was recently busted up was called The Base, which is also the English meaning of Al Qaeda.

Though the American government is much more quick to label Islamic adjacent attackers terrorists than any white attacker.

We are social creatures, communication is a need not a desire.

He won't be old enough, but that would be fucking incredible if he ran.

This actually made me lol

There was no "gunman", Thompson was killed by his own greed. You should arrest him, but you can't because he's dead.

Money please!

Weather and other very complex and hard to predict stuff like fluid dynamics, things that don't have a human or completely random behaviour, is probably the best thing an AI could do for humanity.

Also could be good for understanding animal communication like dolphins etc.

I don't think it will really be able to do much actual human work, though. Maybe management....

Work work

Fuck!

Idgaf. Why has this story been at the top of my feed for like 4 days now?
