  • They can be. Think of the incidents like that lady calling little kids racial slurs (then getting a fat check from fund raising), or how some people act in customer service situations. Or I mean, random assaults and shootings. Online can give anyone anonymity, which is definitely often abused, but some people feel that way in public surrounded by people they don’t know.

    I’d add that there are some people who, when interacting with them online, we really didn’t get along. But it was very different meeting them in person. I’ve had the opposite be true as well, where I thought I would really like someone I was getting to know from an online community, and then really didn’t hit it off with them in person. So, that’s not as far as being horrible or toxic, but just that I have experienced people seeming really different in either circumstance. You can also find many anecdotes about people knowing someone who seemed really chill in person, and then on social media they’re really awful.

  • Why would they be “fraudulent” votes? Just because that dude is a disingenuous moron?

  • Has he been speaking out about Trump’s extremely obvious mental problems, which are exacerbated by him always having been a moron? That’s the issue people have. Yes, Biden was old and getting senile. But it’s not reasonable the amount of attention paid to that vs. the relative free pass the demented orange cretin receives from the same journalists.

  • Wow, that’s wild that a brainless podcaster whose main qualification was supporting a bunch of Trump conspiracy bullshit didn’t turn out to be really good at running the FBI

  • I’d make a database with one table holding the encounter names, and then another with attributes where each is associated with the IDs of the appropriate encounters. Then select a name, and the associated attributes, print out the name, and then assume you want the output in html, a

    <ul>

    , loop over the attributes and print each one starting with

    <li>

    , then end with

    </ul>

  • This era of 23 year olds fascist incels running my the White House communications dept can’t end soon enough

  • Let’s see,

    • license already suspended
    • accelerated to speed through a red light at 78 mph
    • attempted to flee the scene
    • driving after using some unknown mixture of hard drugs
    • killed two people

    I don’t know what people deserve, but that would garner prison time in most places. Of course, prison isn’t effective at rehabilitating people, only deterring crime to some extent and punishing people.

    I’d say a sentence of at least a couple years, a requirement of drug treatment, 5-10 year license suspension, and probation with a longer suspended sentence if she’s caught driving.

  • Right. It is bizarre, but certainly not surprising or unusual. Just the same deranged playbook where everything bad is the previous administration’s fault.

  • Classic Republican playbook. Same shit over and over again for decades now… everything bad is a Democrat’s fault and everything good is to their credit. And their chumps enthusiastically believe that, literally. It’s much like a narcissistic personality disorder person in a relationship. Can’t admit fault, weakness, apologize, very hypocritical, so on

  • It’s pretty insane that Trump’s being allowed to do this

  • I noted a while ago that I never once heard Kirk say an argument that wasn’t a debate fallacy. Not one time.

  • The idea that AI is a “google killer” and a replacement for web sites always struck me as incredibly dumb. I know that’s how many people use it though, which is fairly awful. So, AI gets all of its information from websites. If it puts websites out of existence, where is it getting new information from?

  • What is a “green dough job”? I assume their concept is inane.

  • Republicans

  • How lovely to deal with your kid being run over and then get charged with a crime. There's no guarantee it would have not happened if they were there, too. Would the driver be at fault then?

  • The money aspect doesn't mean much to him. What he wanted is more control of Tesla, so he can do even stupider shit with the company.

  • a cult where he entirely controls the board, which is contrary to how large corporations are supposed to work

  • Trump also talked on Sunday about the "hundreds of billions of dollars" that tariffs were bringing in.

    Sure is galling how this deranged windbag is still talking as if US consumers weren’t paying the tariffs.

  • Lemmy.ml specifically? I doubt if it's representative of Lemmy as a whole.
