'Do the thing' is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.

Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

That's why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If 'their conversation' is not allowed in 'your space' then do the thing and move on.

War as an industry innovated, did some hostile takeovers. Now even your prospects of acquiring shelter for the night are considered part of war effort.

Damnit Clauswitz.

The ICE budget is free college for everyone like 3 times over.

Unfortunately there are some users on Lemmy very ready to see ICE's new budget justify political deportations. But yeah, I don't think any of them would have any cognitive dissonance about it.

Gulags at least had trials. Our system isn't even bothering to do that.

Turns out the sham trials were the excessive part.

Some of those people (or their children) are still having breakdowns because a black person is in the same store :(

They were raised by people who, in their day, could outright lynch that person with the consent, if not support, of the (local) law.

To me there's a difference between using assets that were generated by AI and a game using generative AI to create assets.

A person hired as an artist to make dialogue portraits could have shoveled some slop to meet a deadline. That's a production issue.

But if the games are being integrated with a generative AI model to cover minor assets, that's a fundamental development issue and I can cannot possibly see how that's good for anything.

I used to work out of that marina in Boston Harbor. Neat little area. Hope Island is nice because it's boat-in only. But that crossing from Boston Harbor to the Island is much more challenging than it appears. It's the confluence of multiple inlets so that section can just churn. It's much easier to skirt the mouth of each inlet and island and make shorter crossings.

My folks were technology skeptics and limited access to screens. We had strict allotments of time to access electronics.

This taught us how to game the rules and make up arguments to justify our discretions.

They were also lawyers, so we walked into the first trap.

He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn't the senator.

But now there's no platform at all so he's just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He's a senator for a failed party, after all.

The coordinated political hit job on Corbyn was so ugly and blatant.

They don't so much 'change sex' as they grow reproductive organs in response to conditions and blast sperm and/or eggs everywhere, sometimes both at the same time.

They don't want his actual response, opinion, or policy. The desired outcome is obedience, and obedience alone.

I'd rather AOC knock Schumer out of the Senate in 2028. (Or a special election if he for whatever reason is unable to complete his term.) Congress needs as much replacement as the White House.

But it is really frustrating framing how the article is already conceding Trump will be the dominant candidate for a third term in 2028. That's a long way off.

You've already got him beat for my vote if it came down to it.

Low wages and a growing conservative retiree mecca, kind of like Arizona, but much less populated so there's a much stronger impact.

She called for Cuomo resign in disgrace as governor and then endorsed him for mayor.

These ghouls don't believe in anything.

This is more or less how I found myself paying rent for art. Took limited art classes, just doodled everywhere and was told to stop. Posted stuff online in the early 2000s and caught a few stray commissions.

I felt this and the meme hard.
