  • I always find the people here with Confederate flags claiming it's about heritage to be the most ridiculous. The state was founded during the Civil War and is the part of Virginia that stayed with the Union, how in the everloving fuck is a Confederate flag part of our heritage?

  • You should have paid attention to the timeline. In the Star Trek timeline we should expect world war 3 to start next year and go for thirty years. The first warp flight and first contact is after that, and it's only after that that the "better for us" even starts happening.

  • Cunnilingus?

  • You're right, it's currently still hung up in procedure. Even then, he could have ordered his DEA to deschedule it, and instead had them do what they've done. He also waited long enough that when it happens, Trump will get the credit despite having had nothing to do with the process.

  • ... because they didn't.

    ...and when they do, it becomes because they don't have a large enough majority. If they had a filibuster -peoof majority, it would be because they don't have a veto-proof majority even if they also held the executive.

    To put it another way, Biden had the power to fully legalize marijuana at any time because drug scheduled can be changed by process from either the legislative or executive branches. Instead he had it rescheduled. Because Dems only operate in half measures federally, because they are controlled opposition.

  • After having given a speech to it's creators about it, calling it a "plan for our movement", yes. There is video available.

    Cathy, do the math.

  • The blue check went through some twists and turns. Originally it was meant as "your identity is verified", then it became a status symbol, then it had extra features attached to it. At one point the people approving them were literally taking bribes to expedite or guarantee your blue check (like personal bribes, not a payment to Twitter). And at some point along the way it somehow became a "Twitter approves" thing, because at least one person had their blue check stripped for going too far as a right wing troll (Milo Yianno-whatever). All of that pre-Muak.

    Post-Musk, it's just a subscription you pay for with some extra features and there's now a different checkmark for corporate or government entities that merely verifies their identity.

  • How can a car like this be SO vulnerable?

    I'd be tempted to see how they respond to a salt and acid mixture. Maybe even just something as mild as heavily salted lemon juice as an experiment. Depending on how those stainless panels are treated it could be effective. Acids and chlorides are hard on the passive layer of regular stainless, which is what protects the underlying metal. Maybe a different acid+salt mixture that won't have as obvious a smell after it evaporates? Would make for some "fun" "water" balloons or "water" guns, especially to play with at night. Without your phone on hand. While wearing a mask and plain black hoodie as PPE, of course.

  • Haha, Leviathan was certainly the “big bad” in Job.

    To quote a work of fiction I particularly enjoyed, during a discussion between the characters on the Book of Job:

    “You know,” said Bill Dodd, “what is Leviathan, anyway? Like a giant whale or something, right? So God is saying we need to be able to make whales submit to us and serve us and dance for us and stuff? Cause, I’ve been to Sea World. We have totally done that.”

    “Leviathan is a giant sea dinosaur thing,” said Zoe Farr. “Like a plesiosaur. Look, it’s in the next chapter. It says he has scales and a strong neck.”

    “And you don’t think if he really existed, we’d Jurassic Park the sucker?” asked Bill Dodd.

    “It also says he breathes fire,” said Eli Foss.

    “So,” proposed Erica, “if we can find a fire-breathing whale with scales and a neck, and we bring it to Sea World, then we win the Bible?”

  • An LLM is roughly as smart as the corpus it is summarizing is accurate for the topic, because at their best they are good at creating natural language summarizers. Most of the main ones basically do an internet search and summarize the top couple of results, which means they are as good as the search engine backing them. Which is good enough for a lot of topics, but...not so much for the rest.

  • Don’t you know that vaccines are made out of mercury

    Some childhood vaccines contained thimerosal which is a mercury compound as a preservative prior to 2001, some other drugs still use it and it's very probably harmless but technically any drug containing thimerosal contains mercury.

    and dead babies?

    Is the common measles vaccine in the US one of the ones that is developed using a cell line originated from an aborted fetus? Like it doesn't contain any fetal cells in the final product, but technically it wouldn't be entirely a lie to say it's made from a dead baby (without getting clinical and drawing a developmental line before which it's not a "baby" per se), since the media it is grown it is a cell line descended from one..

    Kind of like how there are skin treatments made from circumcised foreskins - it doesn't actually contain foreskin, but it contains a compound extracted from cell lines produced from infant foreskin removed during circumcision, because that's the easiest way to legally get baby skin. Usually they'll refer to containing CTFG or epidermal growth factors or something along those lines.

  • And if you have the opportunity to question Him directly, you’ll say the same thing Job said.

    That would be what, "Why are you so weirdly obsessed with Leviathan?" after Job 41?

  • Someone outside of the vehicle should be either calling an ambulance or grabbing the jaws of life and telling the door it doesn't have a choice in the matter.

  • As civilization has progressed, we've done more and more writing and record keeping and done so an less and less durable media. From stone to clay to papyrus/parchment to paper to film to digital media.

    I feel like there needs to be some kind of write once media that's extremely durable and reasonably dense for digital data specifically for long term archival purposes. What's the digital equivalent to carving something on a stone tablet, that a thousand years from now despite age and weathering could be dug up in a field somewhere and still hypothetically be at least mostly readable?

  • There are cameras inside the car, it self drives… imagine if it used AI to decide if the driver was Jewish. Or queer.

    How would a camera determine if you are queer?

    Also, I am just imagining the piles of blackmail material Tesla has on it's customers.

  • Like the ridiculous subscription mouse a few months back, I'd be willing to bite with the right incentives, but those aren't incentives the manufacturer is going to be OK with. I'd take a car with ads, so long as it was sufficiently discounted compared to a normal car. And then I'd look up how to disable the ads.

  • I don't think this is the kind of neuroplasticity we're supposed to be aiming for.

  • Blocklist is literally empty.

    They federate with everyone, including the insufferable right wingers, the insufferable tankies, and the people who draw loli (I think there's only one lemmy instance still active that allows loli and it's the radqueer one, and it's tiny enough you don't notice it unless you go looking for it). Most of the insufferable right wingers have also closed their respective instances.

    If their mastodon instance is any comparison, it still federate with everyone including the instances that post loli. I suspect if an instance were posting stuff illegal in the US that would be grounds for SDF to defederate for legal reasons, but 1A protections are broader than speech protections in most of the rest of the world.

    You can always block the community or even the entire instance of anyone you don't want to see.
