  • Please be advised, this is an article about a Tucker Carlson segment which doesn't provide any additional info or context of its own

  • Not that I disagree with you that they are becoming more prominent, but I think we are also definitely still in the aftermath of 'election time'

  • Americans are fucking stupid, have you met us? People have been increasingly less capable and less willing to do basic amounts of reading for like a generation. Critical thinking is all but dead. It's nice that you have high expectations of citizenry, but that just doesn't comport with reality.

  • Hives are one of the clearest signs of an allergic reaction. There is basically no normal circumstance where those should occur.

    It sounds like there are potentially other factors contributing to your symptoms at home, but the last couple of things happening with dogs in general strongly suggests that you have a dog allergy.

    I have to echo other posters here and urge you to see a doctor about testing (if financially viable) and mitigation advice.

  • This is a great post. +1 for potatoes and onions. (Just don't store them together, they spoil each other faster)

    One thing I'll add is that if the OP is in the United States, commercially sold eggs have the bloom washed off them before they get to store shelves, so they MUST be refrigerated.

    You can get dehydrated egg products that are shelf stable until you use them. They're not perfect but for most purposes they're good enough.

  • There are some instances that lean in specific directions, but there are also several that are kind of just melting pots. For the most part I don't need to use blocks too frequently, but there are definitely some spaces/users that I find are too hostile that it gets in the way of their intended messaging. But then, that line is going to be different for everybody.

  • Habits can be built and rebuilt. I've known a disappointing amount of people who refuse to use a calendar for reminders out of pride and end up being all over the place in the end.

  • The lawsuit in question is a civil matter, not a criminal one, but you are correct that that is the case if a state prosecutor does decide to bring criminal charges

  • Uh, nope, you're putting words in my mouth. It's not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can't even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don't even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

  • a planetary catastrophe out of our control

    You're still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

  • At the very least they need to invest in server side anti cheat. If that's not viable they should be obliged to adequately moderate their game.

  • If you can't accept business plans that make a little less profit to include sufficient human moderation to avoid heavyhanded kernel level anti cheat - you shouldn't be in the fucking publishing business, you greedy weasels.

  • Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them

  • This looks awesome. Posting so I can read it later - the Mbin mobile site absolutely butchers your table, and I feel like submitting a bug report~

  • If there are any R voters left in the Trump camp who have the capacity to be disgusted, this might push more of them to vote Harris/Walz

  • To quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 87: “No”.

    Stealing this to be annoying with

  • Do I think it's generally useful? No, not at all.

    But for very specific purposes it's worth considering as an option.

    Text-to-image generation has been worth it to get a jumping-off point for a sketch, or to get a rough portrait for a D&D character.

    Regular old ChatGPT has been good on a couple occasions for humor (again D&D related; I asked it for a "help wanted" ad in the style of newspaper personals and the result was hilariously campy)

    In terms of actual problem solving... There have been a couple instances where, when Google or Stack Overflow haven't helped, I've asked it for troubleshooting ideas as a last resort. It did manage to pinpoint the issue once, but usually it just ends up that one of the topics or strategies it floats prove to be useful after further investigation. I would never trust anything factual without verifying, or copy/paste code from it directly though.
