Fuck this backwards shithole country. Fuck me why does everything have to be so fucking awful.

Mrrrow.

It's a "cold" civil war currently. And one side is just submitting and rolling over.

Oh but blue states not giving federal taxes over is "starting a civil war."

The civil war is already happening. Wake the fuck up people.

It's literally also how abusers speak to their abused spouses. "Look what you made me do to you."

could be seen as declaring civil war.

To anyone paying attention, we've been in a cold civil war since at least 2016, if not before that.

“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.

He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

This is Kevin D. Roberts of the Heritage Foundation. Point one is that he promotes the idea that the second American Revolution will be "bloodless" only if the left allows it to be, and point two is he describes it as something that is in the process of happening. That means it has already started and has been in motion.

We didn't fire the first shot of the war here and I'm sick and fucking tired of the people acting like us pushing back is "declaring civil war." No the fuck it isn't they declared war on us decades ago now. What a fucking joke. This is classic DARVO, Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender. It turns the victims of a cold civil war into the aggressors when the actual aggressors literally passing bills that will fucking cause institutional social murder at a grand scale. It's abuser tactics, plain and simple, at a national level.

Please don't play into this false narrative, the civil war is on, us fighting back isn't declaring it. Please stop letting liars and abusers dictate the rules of reality and what we accept as truth. You're letting their lies set the bounds for how we operate and it's that kind of bullshit that got us here in the first place. Stop giving them deference and treating their falsehoods as truths.

EDIT: Trump literally just suggested if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York City that he will withhold federal funds. We didn't start this war. Any suggestion otherwise is bullshit.

You look like you could use some... Surgery...

None whatsoever. Cheers!

It looked like from comments that's why he made the Ollama integration optional, because some people were concerned since Ollama was built by Meta. It can run without Ollama, it seems.

EDIT: Doing more research on Ollama itself, I'm unconvinced that it's sharing any data, despite being built by Meta.

https://github.com/Jeffser/Alpaca

This will probably help anyone unfamiliar with it, since the first search result for Alpaca AI is another online paid AI service which does something entirely different than this. It's used for AI image generation.

The main question I have is since Ollama is optional... If you optionally use it, is it still sharing data with Facebook Meta?

On the other hand, it's Pride Month, so I think it's safe to say gay men's mental health matters this month.

That's what F5 is for.

Thanks for the "poor people shouldn't be allowed any luxuries" speech and proving my point.

Because clearly it's fine for the rich to do this, because they spend their money wisely, right? It's not a completely broken ass system that harms the poor for anything they buy to indulge themselves, right?

or that people that are always scowling and frowning

Black women and misogynoir have entered the chat.

Maybe sometimes people have valid injustices they face in their lives that make them not likely to be all sunshine and roses and smiling all the time.

Are they "evil" because they are not ready to smile and laugh with you?

The "angry black woman" stereotype has literally been used to belittle black women and paint them as "evil" and an "unstable group" for generations.

In a world that absolutely judges you based on your looks, is something that makes you look good really a "bad" investment?

This kind of shit could possibly make the difference between being hired at a job or not, as wild as that is to say.

This is also part of why many people were enamored with the idea of remote work and not needing to have a webcam. The idea that maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be judged by their looks in a job interview but instead judged by their skills and abilities.

Further, when the majority of people cannot afford the basics (recent numbers put it at 68% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck), is it really their fault they cannot save? What kind of society are we creating when we are effectively telling the lower classes that they deserve no kindness, no pampering, no self-fulfillment? "Fuck getting that coffee, you could buy a house if you didn't!" type bullshit that is totally untrue.

Reduced to using imgur because catbox is getting a bad gateway error, bah humbug.

Lindsey "Ladybugs" Graham!

...and then the weird thing is, as frightening as it is, I did it again a few minutes later. You've had a brush with death, and I'm still drowsy after that. How does that happen? If a bullet came through my window would I fall asleep right after? "Ah, tomorrow I'll look at it, honey."

The co-evolution of control and resistance.
