  • “Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and clearly he's having a very difficult time processing that”

  • You could tell she had those zingers locked and loaded and was just waiting for the right time to drop each of them.

    You could also see her when she decided to chamber the round. Where her stern disapproval face had brief flickers of delight as she decided she was going to use one when she had her next chance to speak.

  • 10-year-old girl in Japan becomes youngest person certified to prepare poisonous pufferfish — a delicacy that can be deadly

    Jump

  • Bruh. You just fetishized a 10 year old kid because she's a female Japanese minor.

    You need to step away from your weird anime/hentai loop and step into society.

  • Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills

    Jump

  • I learned to touch type quickly mostly out of necessity to communicate quickly in online games before voice chat was a thing.

  • I love MythBusters, but their results are inconvenient to my unfounded opinions

  • There was even a Mythbuster episode where they confirmed it. IIRC, their test popped reliably after two bagels.

  • In general, digital privacy invasions have been very successful because of attrition.

    Most people don't care, those that do hold out, but then every competitor does the same and you no longer have any real alternatives. Eventually, the hold outs need to replace [car in this case] and the sting of the objectiknable change has faded, and they just move on.

    Rinse and repeat.

    We lost the fight for meaningful net neutrality, basic digital privacy rights, broadband limits, etc.

    They'll win this one too. Eventually. Your phones and IoT with microphones are already doing it.

    ‘Do not store guns in your oven’: Loaded gun stored in oven fires multiple rounds after getting overheated

    Jump

  • An airbnb I stayed at stored a gray plastic food tray in the oven. My friend understandably thought it was a cooking sheet. Very sad cookies that night.

  • Former Vice President Dick Cheney to vote for Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • In true republican fashion, he didn't care until his own family was hurt by the MAGA cult. Typical.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.

    Jump

  • Yep, my comment was tongue in cheek. It's a useless result and only sort of makes sense as an overly reduced summary that has lost vital context.

    The other reply is the obvious answer. Each answer is from a different viewpoint from a different user.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.

    Jump

  • It's worth it if you accept the post pandemic, post crypto prices to be the new normal.

    I'm still rocking my old 980ti because I refuse to pay $600 for an old, mid tier card.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.

    Jump

  • There's nothing wrong about it.

    Neither is worth it. But if you have unlimited money, XTX is the better card and therefore a better deal. But if money is a factor, get the XT because the performance per $$$ of the XTX isn't worth selling a kidney.

  • Harris calls out Trump's “brazen flip-flop” on Florida recreational marijuana

    Jump

  • That's still a lot of people with criminal records whose lives are much more difficult for it, for something she's now antagonizing her opponent for flip flopping on as well.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm voting Harris and donating to get campaign. But I find this particular attack vector to be massively hypocritical.

  • Harris calls out Trump's “brazen flip-flop” on Florida recreational marijuana

    Jump

  • I wonder how many people she pursued possession charges on as a DA.

    Edit:

    But at different junctures of her time in office, she has been an enforcer of cannabis laws and an opponent of legalized use for adults in California.

    Though she defended marijuana’s use for medicinal purposes as district attorney, her prosecutors in San Francisco convicted more than 1,900 people on cannabis-related offenses.

  • Trump says he had ‘every right’ to interfere in election

    Jump

  • Trump argued that the legal actions against him set a bad precedent

    Well, we finally agree on something.

    The fact that he's a free man and the republican nominee 4 years after attempting to steal an election and then subsequently attempted a coup is a really fucking bad precedent and shows that the legal system is impotent to stop large scale corruption.

  • Who does this?!

    Jump

  • It sounds weird, but I can imagine it working. Sometimes sweet fruit and mild salt can combine well. And mustard is kind of salt like.

  • taking a lot of fridge / freezer space

    Maybe you forgot the freezer part.

  • There's Starlink, now. But somehow, relying on a Musk product to be able to do your job seems... risky.

  • Brazil Blocks X After Musk Ignores Court Orders

    Jump

  • Ok. Agreed.

    But that doesn't change the fact that Xitter is still number 1 by a large margin, unless I'm mistaken. And since no one here even seems to be disputing that, it seems we agree on that point.

    So it's the other point that seems to be what is controversial. That, even with all the bad shit Musk has done - maliciously gaming the algorithm so these things won't rise naturally like they did before, actively banning "woke" accounts, etc.

    Even with all these bad changes, Xitter is still the best way to get your crisis message to the masses, especially outside your country.

    You can argue about idealistic things like "it won't change until people are forced to look elsewhere", but that's not a luxury that people in crisis have.

    And that's exactly why I think this is more negative than positive. It takes away the most powerful tool available at getting your reality out of a war zone, out of dictator controlled media bubbles, etc, so that outside observers can get a glimpse at what's really going on.

    And until you have a real contender for a replacement that's gaining massive traction, "not perfect" is a luxury of armchair activists.
