Not entering, just wanna applaud you for doing this. I bought the TR I-III remaster in the summer sale and I will say I am pleased with it at the sale price. It plays pretty well on Steam Deck and scratches the nostalgia itch.

"No meals"

Sit down, we are gonna watch this 2 hour Wendigoon video essay on cryptozoology.

You are correct. Google serves ads from the same domains as the actual legitimate content therefore sending those requests to null via DNS blackhole would simply block YouTube entirely. UBO and other browser extensions strip out or work around the problematic code itself to render a functioning page without the ads.

Maybe it's because their coffee is garbage, their prices are high, and many people have less disposable income than they used to.

Glad to see others have also keyed in on just how lame this ad was.

My immediate thought was, if you (the guy doing the voiceover as the father) are so mentally deficient that you can't even put together a four sentence paragraph of your own original thoughts for fanmail, then what hope do you have of doing anything else as a functioning adult?

Worse yet, what does this teach the kid?

This is what dying of cringe in text message format looks like.

What a douche.

Just attack his record. It would be more effective.

The "no u" line doesn't really work coming from Harris, as anyone who has watched more than 30 seconds of her speaking can see she is objectively cringeworthy as she speaks.

He struck it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.

This would just further illustrate the futility and ornamental nature of the 2 party system and the way the parties nominate candidates.

Or the fact that he fucked up Afghanistan withdrawal so hard he basically gave the Taliban a billion dollars in weapons, military vehicles and other materiel.

Homelessness is very often an addiction problem. They should be directing these individuals toward treatment.

He can do fuck all about it by himself.

He is the lamest of ducks.

I want to see actual demographics of the various Lemmy instances for this reason. There are tons of very loud and confident opinions but based on the simple facts they get wrong, there must be a large number of non-Americans or edgy teens who can't vote or wouldn't vote anyway.

I mean, you can self-host your own local LLMs using something like Ollama. The performance will be bound by the disk space you have (the complexity of the model you're able to store), and the performance of the CPU or GPU you are using to run it, but it does work just fine. Probably as good results as ChatGPT for most use cases.

Now that they've shown their proof of concept works and they can falsely imprison people on bogus charges and use them as bargaining chips to free their actual criminals, they will be doing this a lot more.

Nice to see some benefit to updated vanilla AOSP, Graphene, and other options.

It goes without saying but it seems like a deeply fucked business model to horde zero-days that could cause billions in damage or safety issues if they fall into the wrong hands, in order to keep your mercenary surveillance product working.

Kind of a rock / hard place situation.

If they "force" him out without him dropping out, by faithless delegates or somesuch, it would reveal the entire process of selecting candidates is actually a meaningless farce (which everyone already kinda knew, but no one seems very interested in dispelling that myth just yet).

If he won't consensually drop out within the next week I don't see how they get rid of him without it being an even bigger clusterfuck.

Not a campaign expert, but there are tons of things that political campaigns need to do in the 3 months leading up to an election -

Conduct national and local ad buys on TV, radio, and social media.

Orchestrate volunteers to call voters and knock doors.

Print promotional materials such as signs and shirts.

Conduct candidate appearances (speeches, public forums, rallys) which includes travel costs, event space, logistics.

Coordinate and encourage voter turn out (includes a lot of research, planning, data analysis).

Prepare any legal challenges related to the ballots and election procedures (this could get very complicated and expensive in a national campaign as there are so many venues; Imagine having to retain teams of lawyers and potentially file suits in all 50 states).

All that stuff costs money. Usually a re-elect campaign has years to raise money so jettisoning the entire warchest with 3 months left isn't a good idea. Granted there is so much PAC money in national races, maybe it doesn't matter as much as it used to.
