  • Can we take a moment to note what percentage of pics are of this guy steeping his fingers? It’s too flattering, given the destructive role he’s taken on.

    He’s either hopping around dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, wielding a chainsaw dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, or straight faced with steepled fingers.

    What should be posted is him Seig heiling or meme style imagery comparing his plasticine face with Mark Zuckerberg. That’s it.

  • Corporate gets what they want. People are left confused or in the dark disarmed of relevant information to fight back.

    Round up lawyer: What do you mean Round Up causes cancer? Judge, I have a paper here that says exposure correlates to not just lower cancer rates but lower autism rates as well. (Or some similar bs.)

    It’s one more piece of the class war, to make sure corporate wins, and working class has no ammo to fight back.

  • Shoot? No.

    Tell them no? Yes.

    This admin changed the rules, broke alliances, and is reforming us into a dictator/authoritarian government. This means the rest of the world owes them nothing. It’s not like the US wouldn’t detain a Greenlander at the border, they’ve locked up business owning Canadians with valid work VISAs.

    There’s no obligation here. Turn them away verbally and let the world know if they bully in anyway. It changes the game.

  • They’re using Signal so nothing is recorded.

    Basically there’s a government transparency mandate by We The People. It’s why info gets released to the press and eventually things like the JFK assassination are released years later. It’s why everything the president writes or says is recorded. Because, in theory, they work for We The People and have to answer to us. They can’t do that if no one knows what they’re up to.

    Trump admin says, fuck that, fuck We The People, we will now use an end to end encrypted service that cannot be effectively subpoenaed. What we do is our secret, so no one knows what we are up to.

    As a messaging service Signsl is as secure and private as the people using it. You want privacy you use WIRE or Signal. Your stuff isn’t recorded on a database like Facebook Messenger, for later subpoenas, it’s just poof, gone, as you delete it. You can even time delete it for everyone in chat after a few minutes, an hour, a week, etc.

    As for the phones themselves, I don’t know. In general terms, out of the box, Apple is more secure than android but neither is private, unless the feds get a telemetry removal package or some such which would make sense. GrapheneOS on an Android device (strips all telemetry including that map app) is how we laymen do it.

  • Another basic demonstration on why oversight by a human brain is necessary.

    A system rooted in pattern recognition that cannot recognize the basic two column format of published and printed research papers

  • It’s echo chamber headline bait. Any “people think such and such” headline is just there to tell you what you want to hear. There’s no action here. Nothing useful. Just bricks in the echo chamber wall.

  • She’s medically trained, so she knows where to hit him. In addition, there’s a lack of barrier to entering the physical space of strangers and physically touching them just in general. That barrier almost doesn’t exist for medical. The rest of the world, middle of the bell curve, hesitates.

    And if she’s done direct patient care at any point in her career, there’s a good chance she has no patience left for shenanigans.

  • Depends. That’s the issue though. DEMs is a giant bag of angry cats fighting amongst themselves, gatekeeping one another, and more or less telling one another how they should be while saying it’s all inclusive.

    The infighting is real. I’ll give the repubs credit for unity, they’re strangely good at it, just look at Tesla. Ten years of hating Tesla and hazing Tesla drivers. Now, the same people are driving cars into protesters for daring to smear the company. That’s unity. Blind unity. But unity.

    We can’t do anything even remotely close to that in party.

  • Therein lies the point of MAGA efforts. If you keep your base punching the left then they won’t remember they’re working class, not really being crushed by the left, and may start to punch up.

    They’re already too scared to do in person town halls. Even so, this steered rage is intentional.

    You’re not displaced by corporate, but by immigrants, DEI, and non-traditional women.

  • Just about everyone wants to see themselves in the main player character of an RPG. It’s one reason character creators exist. Why we can choose between male and female Shepard and then toggle their appearances. But why is it white men yell the loudest when they don’t see themselves in a fixed main character?

    It’s a valid question. Sure there was an ask for female assassin play, but it wasn’t anything like this crude, angry, and off the rails epidemic we see far too often. Why is this population so loud and rage filled?

    I happily play Witcher, and enjoy Geralt for who he is, including those tired sighs and the long hair that blows in a wind that’s not there. Geralt looks like he’s been torn off the cover of an old bodice ripper novel, which is a bit of an eye roll but adds to the humor. Even so. As a woman I had no problems with it or the game. I’ve played W3 through twice.

    Enter Ciri as the main for the next game. Suddenly there’s a huge problem even though she’s the logical next Witcher. I’d like to know how she plays as a character outside the premade with gimped UI. The preview to 4 was nicely nuanced as well, a lot of detail packed into that clip apart from just simple spooky monster fighting. She clearly has a chip on her shoulder about life choices, and fair enough given her history.

    Again, no raging outcry regarding Geralt or the way he looked for 3 installments. Now there’s outcry.

    I’m not Japanese or Black and yet I’ll happily play this latest AC (but only after its old and goes on sale).

  • Isn’t this President Musk’s baby? This will never happen.

    It’s the high tech higher money version of taking advantage of migrant workers. It’s like legal indentured service for a visa, and you can bypass some of those pesky labor laws.
