So sick of this BS, and the idiots that think other countries pay anything.

More ineffective virtue signaling.

So they got booed out of one Mexican Restaurant and arrested a bunch of people at another in a fit of petty revenge?

Not a problem if you shower regularly enough and clean all the right places.

Just finished ripping about 150 of our DVD collection and space was filling up, went looking for HDDs and was surprised at the prices. Now I know why.

Third or fourth time he’s said this, at least twice recently.

Fixed. Thanks.

Thank you and re-entered. Looks the same, AP must have changed it on their end.

The only answer is that the people that like him figure his shitty behavior supports their shitty behavior. And they’re not wrong.

Yeah, just read that article here. Follow the money. They never stop enshittifying, trying to force people into walled gardens that are as shittily built and expensive as possible.

Trump is utroubled with that level of thought.

Theee things: He’s absolutely stupid. He’s a self-centered narcissist. He’s immune to consequences.

The confluence of the two and the power he has lets him do a lot of self-serving…well, everything. From money to bullying to whatever.

And his position protects him from any consequences. Which lets him keep doing everything he’s been doing.

Never ceases to amaze me that people refuse to believe or need to be reminded that Russia, China and others are actively and aggressively trying to undermine political and social stability in the US. Social media troll farms and bots, hacks of infrastructure, and apparently now preventing leaks of information detrimental to trump’s SS.

Is that Threads? If so, f**k Threads. I participated around election time. It was overrun (and probably silently still is) with reich wing troll farm tools and bots. The month or two leading up to the election saw a flood posts that were outright lies regarding grocery prices, gas prices, housing prices, racist, AI images JAQing off, immigration and a dozen other easily verifiable hotbutton issues that were twisted up into lies.

And as soon as trump won?

Dead f***ing silence. They all went dark.

I deleted my account. It’s every bit the cesspool of bots and trolls as Twitter is.

I’m highly ambivalent about the use of AI for porn. On one hand it’s unequivocally bad when used to make porn or images of unwilling and unknowing people, doubly so when shared publicly and/or used maliciously.

OTOH it allows creation of whatever fetish or kink someone might have that might be difficult to deal with outside of fantsy and harms nobody so long as it remains contained.

I can’t get into the psychology of it, I’m not smart enough, I don’t know if casual use of such imagery bleeds over into real life problems. Obsessive use would obviously be a problem, but that would likely be a problem with or without AI.

I know Parks got all the fame while this lady got very little recognition, but it makes me wonder how many other acts of defiance on buses like this that got no attention.

How he thinks he can make more billions by forcing yet another subscription model that takes ownership away from individuals.

No surprises there. This is always who he was. Just because he mocked the right wing in their own style people seemed to think he was different than the larger neo-lib whole.

Instead of ever-bigger screens thanks to flip open folding displays, how about the same size phone that flips open to an easily usable qwerty board?

Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.
