I doubt they're even people, if it's on M***'s bot-infested, rotting corpse of a website. Just part of the reason "drama" in that cesspool should never be elevated or cared about more than any other tabloid clickbait. And any actual humans remaining are inevitably the most miserable, gullible, brain-damaged fools (or looking to swindle them).
What is this? Death Warrant (the 1990 prison action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme)?
With help from Priest and Hawkins, Burke breaks into the infirmary and finds several boxes labeled "medical waste" that are actually full of human organs.
Has the supreme court stripped the SEC of its powers yet (unconstitutional!)? Did it ever have any, besides slap-on-the-wrist fines? Garbage like DJT couldn't even exist if we had halfway decent regulations.
There seems to be a strategically placed hand blocking a parmesan grinder, probably for the best. But seriously, the other photo of her smiling and hugging the cheese like a giant stuffed animal is somehow heartwarming. It's cheese, brain. Thousands of dollars of fancy cheese.
I didn't realize Nate Silver left 538 (he's over at Silver Bulletin now.) Not sure how credible they are anymore, after Disney/ABC gutted the team, and he left with the magic sauce algorithms. They were the one place I semi-trusted for polling, most accurate I've come across (since 2012 or so).
To think that, just a couple of weeks ago, he was so confident about cruising to a victory on his newest gimmicks: "unity" and "sanity". Now he's starting to panic, his true self is back, and his ability to control his derangement and worst instincts will only get worse. Love to see it.
I don't see much insanity. But I have zero tolerance for obvious bots and trolls, and blocked a few instances early on. (Haven't since then; they really are concentrated on just a few.)
Edit: I just checked my blocks and filters (using Sync app), and I only have a few users blocked, no instances, etc. Lemmy.world must just be doing a good job moderating.
A whole bunch more of the cult jailed for whatever terror they unleash? Fuck their threats. Maybe prison will deprogram some of them. Maybe a few others will notice the anti-cult working thanklessly to make American lives a bit less miserable. Hopefully others notice T**** is a complete failure and loser. It's not much, but it's progress.
For things that look legit, for example seasonal political campaigns, and include in message something like "reply STOP to quit", replying "STOP" does usually end it quickly. Recommended.
Should be one of the first things any anti-spam app/feature should be doing. Wish it was automated into OS spam defenses, then the "responsive human" worry would be eliminated.
I thought this was the best course of action, too. It was not. New numbers, seemingly infinite, keep spamming me. They are political, seemingly real Democrat-linked entities (but I'm skeptical because this spam is obviously a brain-dead idea). After replying "STOP", they definitely slowed.
In the past, some of the best (full events, live, not heavy on commentators) was from non-US public sources using VPN in said country. Like Canada's CBC, Britain's BBC, etc. I haven't done it in a while though, can't confirm.
Agreed. Just saying they definitely deserve some blame. (And the BS their local DA has been saying is annoying at best.) The simplest thing should have been to delay or postpone the event. But I imagine they almost always have "people of interest" at events, and (somehow) never did see a gun or weapon.
To me, the local PD seems to have plenty of fault. (Surprised she didn't throw them under the bus.) The shooter's on top of a building, outside of SS perimeter. And incredibly, it's literally full of local PD, apparently emergency response (SWAT).
There seems to have been severe communication issues from all involved: Knew of suspect for hour, lost him, searched, finally checked roof, too late. SS sniper seems to have had him in sights, but did not shoot until after (perhaps thought he could be local PD). They all deserve blame for the almost comedy of errors. I think the wind might've done more to prevent the assassination.
Civil war. Or submit to "Project 2025"-level insanity and Christian fascism. Those are the choices the cult gives us. They really are the American Taliban. Can't wait to see their "chosen one" lose again.
