  • Department of Justice Violates Epstein Files Law By Failing to Inform Congress of Reasons Behind Redactions

    Jump

  • The whole point of the epstein law is to make it appear there is some political struggle left. Pseudoquences.

    Of all the crimes Trump and MAGA is guilty of, sexually abusing underage girls is the least important. The least consequential for the long term prosperity or even survival of the species. That's why there is so much focus on this instead on the important things.

    Even if they could "get" Trump because of the pedophilia, it would still be a catastrophic loss. But he's going to die in office, without ever seeing justice and most of their agenda 2025 will continue and not be reversed even if democrats had full control.

  • YSK that your gut is connected to your brain. Bacterias in your gut can naturally create serotonin and dopamine. If you have happy gut bacterias, you will feel happier

  • Interesting anecdote. Maybe that is the point of all those cleanses or fasting stuff, to sort of "reset" an out of balance gut biome.

  • Yeah there would be serious dangers to creating a synthetic biome, but theoretically it should be possible to vastly improve through actual engineering instead of natural selection. And it should be easier than doing any genetic engineering on a human genome, because you could create a more simple model for a single celled biome with specific input and output chemicals. I imagine LLMs could help with creating the map of inputs and outputs, then generate candidates to refine. But I understand we still don't even have a scientific model for a single cell.

    Like produce everything a human needs just from sugars, fats and some minerals. That's not the way to do it but in an extreme case you could. Maybe we could even engineer to digest cellulose.

    Of course you'd want a quick and easy killswitch and be able to replace a synthetic gut biome it with a natural gut biome again. And you'd want some kind of "predator species" that kills any foreign bacteria, like in any biome.

  • Thanks for the info. Still acceptable to skip the 3.5mm plug though. Just one less component easily replaced by usb-c.

    And I assume there are more expensive over ear headphones with a better DAC. Not that I'd ever be able to hear much of a difference lol

  • the ongoing merger of liberalism and fascism

    Jump

  • Yeah I did hear that tons of observers said this, but if you search you only find articles with "independent observer says foul".

    It's honestly hard to resist the constant trolling / psychological terrorism by MAGA and the smarmy gaslighting by the "left". Makes you "want to believe" the less painful option. I mean seriously it's the exact same playbook trump used on Jan 6th lol.

  • YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.

    Jump

  • Your question is an infohazard

  • Is there any legal justification for the US attack on Venezuela?

    Jump

  • Maduro and Trump are friends

    Where does this braindead take come from? Is this maga or bluemaga bullshit?

  • The US Media is equally complicit

    Jump

  • It's an act of war.

    Jump

  • Are there efforts to genetically engineer superior gut biomes? Like a set of microbes that digest better, more efficient, filter out more toxins, produce vitamins, ignore too much carbs or fat, destroy harmful foreign bacteria or microbes etc?

    It seems a relatively easy way to genetically improve homo sapiens. Can we do stuff like that already with the advances in AI for e.g. protein folding?

  • The problem with your take is that you're still applying liberal values to foreign policy that the USA has ignored for decades - they have been fascists in regards to other shithole countries, even Obama. So what do you think would be wrong with this? Why would anyone with half a brain object to this?

    Imagine it was Hitler in 1940 Germany. How many countries are defacto at war with the US, as the US defines war, e.g. sanctions are an act of war. Is Trump and his regime not a fascist regime that should be removed from power? Same with Netanjaho of course.

    A malicious tumor should be excised. I do not have the money to buy the laws for this, but it's still the morally correct answer, no matter if you're in favor of a utilitarian, principles or kantian ethics.

  • Right, there are cheap usb-c headphone now lol. Really no reason not to have high quality headphones with their own dedicated high end DAC

  • Has evidence on the vote tally stuff being fake come out? The whole thing is so plastered with imperialist propaganda it's hard to find anything trustworthy.

  • All along, the nefarious Chinese man's choice to give our company money was just a dastardly ploy to receive its goods and services!

    Jump

  • I was being so restrained and polite!

    Bahaha hilarious. BTW I said the same thing about the "philosopher" youtubers 20 years ago who over time became a gateway to reactionary and fascist ideology. "It's worrying".

    If I was part of the CIA and wanted to subvert China I'd invest in manhwas who "just happen to" promote the kind of hyper-individualist or divisive or amoral ideology. Just a few donations over patreon, no need for qui pro quo, just filter to cultivate the right kind of poison.

    Anyway I understand your tribalism.

  • Update on my Home-Lab now featuring a fully custom built 10" Aluminumm rack

    Jump

  • Nice! I want to build a rack too but want to fit a regular ATX board to fit older / cheaper hardware. So it has to be at least 304mm wide, probably 400mm

  • 'Never felt more betrayed': MAGA rebels over Trump's 'treasonous' Qatar base in Idaho

    Jump

  • Fascists believe in inequality based on identity, so how could they ever feel betrayed by Trump doing outrageous things? They are DELIGHTED the more outrageous Trump acts, because he is their glorious king they wish they could be. They go "Oh gawd did you see what our leader did? I wish I could do that too!". He's their golden idol. All he has to do is keep promising them inequality in their favor.

  • Hilarious. Do you think that media has no influence on culture? (and vice versa)

    Obviously yes, it's a small window, but I'm mostly interested in how "algorithmic" economic activity on a large scale could influence political attitudes. You rude prick. Now go back to endlessly reciting your mantras. Stay narrow minded.

  • Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?

    Jump

  • Fascism is capitalism in decay. It's what you can sell right now. A modern definition is "moral belief in inequality based on identity (race / gender)". This is what is selling right now because the dream of prosperity with liberalism is over. Shit's bad. So that is what the propaganda channels have been churning out, on on fox, on social media, on youtube for younger audiences. Ultimately the reason is greed for money / priviledge by people without scruples.

    It's only going to get worse from now on.
