Because decades of propaganda has conditioned us to do so. They couldn’t attack communism because the ideals of communism are actually great to 99% of the population, so instead they painted communism with the blood that people abusing communism shed and told us all it was the nature of the beast.

I do not know if it’s my genuine and jaded opinion or my programming as a USian, but I also have a distaste for Communism. The ideals are all that I want in the world but I can’t think of any situation where it wasn’t immediately transformed into authoritarian or destroyed from the outside. It feels half baked, so close to done but lacking the internal structure to transition from the representative system we’ve been using since gods ordained kings. Without that, bad actors will always have an easy access to power and like a cancer they are not so readily cut out when they metastasis.

Personally, I think the only way to organize more than 50 humans is to take humans out of the equation. Power will always encourage the darker impulses of man, so why let it be the option? I’d propose technocracy. None of this llm bullshit, no AI singularity, just statistics, data, and analysis processed by an open source, fully transparent, machine. We know population statistics to a fraction of a percent, how do you gerrymander if the computer can district a state to have functionally identical population distribution. A token representative body selected by the machine from each district for their abilities to maintain the machine and update it prevents cult of personality from putting the unqualified in power. Changes to regulation can be posed and voted on by text, no human hand to disqualify you for a hanging chad. Changes preferred are implemented in the best statistically possible way as long as they don’t go against the core principle in the computer. All of this could be run on the server I use to run jellyfin, most of it has been proposed to the government multiple times over the last 50 years, but why would a man release power to a thing that would destroy him?

I use the old school method. Each password is a combination of my one preferred password, and three words that relate to the subject but are too funny to forget. For instant, Amazon would be “FuckJeffBezos123456Aa*” or something like that. I only have to remember my version of the “123456Aa*” because every time I think about amazon I already think “fuck Jeff Bezos”.

This uses your mind’s natural ability to associate instead of just raw memory. It also guarantees your passwords always meet requirements.

Lastly, record them all in the meat space in a small journal that I place in a conspicuous place. You can’t hack a notebook and I’m not important enough to rob for access to my Lemmy account.

The rapid cooling with water actually shocks the egg shell and protein, making them separate, you can probably cook it for 2 or 3 extra min, then dunk them in ice water to get the perfect peal.

For mine, you mix and season the eggs in a bowl, butter the sheet pan, pour the eggs into it and bake at 300 for about 10min. Add cheese as soon as it comes out. You get a flat sheet of scrambled egg that you then cut into squares to make patties.

Pretty sure it’s not the boning part, my sexuality is anything but repressed.

As for walking past each other, out of the question. We’re both anxiety riddled human flamingo nerds, we’d be able to spot each other miles away. Ambush tactics are the only safe bet so it comes down to which of us was less distracted by the lighting and managed to impromptu a weapon first.

It’s a blast, tell your friends.

A big emotion I’ve been dealing with is that the US decided to fall apart completely at the same time I finally got my life together. I used to be someone with a reputation, someone who didn’t have anything to lose or anything better to be doing. Now I have a wife and kid, career, I’m on my way to a degree, and I’m scared.

I didn’t care if I threw my life away back then, it waant getting used anyways, but now that I am using it I’m to terrified of losing that to protect what I have.

I got about a buck.

You could compare it to something in the same environment instead of something that comes across as misogynistically charged.

Using makeup and bra styles as your example, even if you aren’t intending any slight by it, evokes the constant societal effort to police women’s bodies. This is a huge discomfort for a majority of people either because they are women who are subjected to this, or they care about women who are dealing with it.

A great example for less charged comparisons would be existing propaganda, things like the “got milk?” program, the push to use of Vegtable oils after WW2 when the government had a surplus and needed to do something with it, or even the decades long campaign to frame fat as the cause of the obesity epidemic everyone knew it was sugar. All of these have a very similar tone to AI suggesting to glue your pizza or cook your pasta in gasoline.

You could even site actual fake things. Our health department is currently lead by an Anti-Vaxxer. We didn’t need a data center to make that lie stick.

Communication is a big part of all this, we don’t know what your feelings are, just what you said. We have to guess from what you say and what was said paints you in a bad light.

Why don’t we operate our own bot farms? It can’t all be run by idealistic foreign actors, most of them have to be in it for the money. Why not buy bots to convince the useful stupid of the nation to actually vote for their own interests?

The best way to bowl is to put the rails up so no one can gutter ball, then play for lowest score. It’s impossible to take serious, no one can be good or bad at it, a 7/10 split still sucks, and the people in the next lane will be very confused.

Fun all around.

I feel the same as OP but it’s not due to lack of knowledge, it’s good threat assessment. My political ideology is anchored entirely in the idea of empathy and being left alone so foreign actors trying to radicalize me isn’t going to go far. Data about my political leanings are going to be an anomaly on the graph so it won’t help anyone trying to sway a nation that already doesn’t want any of my input regardless of who’s in charge.

As for corpos, I would gladly buy all of my stuff internationally if it got me a better price, but now all it gets is slower shipping. Meanwhile, the local corpos actively spy on my every move so they can better rip me off. It’s, a good idea to be worried about a gunfight happening down the block, but it shouldn’t distract from the gunfight in your yard.

Yes, the best practice is to sure up against every threat, but in a practical sense, worrying about an international body harvesting my data is like watching a burglar open your front door and deciding you need bars on the attic vent.

Meeting myself in any variation.

I have no idea why, but I’ve always had this idea that if I met another me in the world it has to end in one of us dead. Doesn’t matter on the origin, clone, copy, alternate timeline, time travel, doppelganger, replicant, don’t care. There’s absolutely no way around, it’s on sight and to the death.

This is one of my most consist feelings in life and I often wonder if it’s because I consumed my twin in the womb. As a child I came up with an arrangement that if I accidentally time travelled I’d be able to use to contact myself indirectly so that we can’t cross paths.

Of course, the chance of any of these things happening is insanely low so it’s kind of dumb to have a plan in place for its eventual occurrence.

You can also mix it up easily. This week we made two dozen using local tortillas. A third have bell-pepper and tomato, a third have ham, and the last are plain.

Pro tip, wrap them in parchment before freezing, it stops freezer burn and gives you an easy wraper to reheat them in.

I’ll be your new person to meet for today.

I’m spiritual but still atheist and my family has been agnostic atheist for 3 generations. Back in the 80’s my grandfather started celebrating the winter solstice because he wasn’t happy celebrating holidays for a religion he didn’t agree with. He picked it because it’s the longest night in the year and that’s a good reason to give a gift.

40 something years later, I’m raising my kid to celebrate the solstices and the equinoxes. Winter is a quite calibration of your closest people and you exchange gifts that will help them through the next year. During summer it’s a celebration of the people you know and everyone gets together and brings everyone they know to eat and party with the goal of meeting some one new. Both equinox are a celebration of the community and we go out to do community service.

That’s 4 generations of non Cristian celebration.

I looked it up just to see and I find just a butterfly knife? What makes the HOM chimera worth enough to make a knock off?

Explaining genitals to children makes is significantly harder to molest them. Can’t have that happening.

Wait, like in the shell? How’s that work compared to hard boil?

Careful, you might give the pedo states an idea.

I do this a lot, but I atleast follow or with a paragraph of context.
