I make people upset just by using my eyes and brain, as such please be careful to ensure your tears do not get into your electronics, thank you

  • There was no measurable difference in brain activity before or after, so I'm not sure why you're asking.

  • Gas stations also have sidewalks near them, most people have legs, and carrying an empty gas can gives you plausible deniability if questioned

  • See, I'd get a group of friends together and just go to loudly make fun of and criticize the film the whole way through if it's that unpopular. If you know nobody is there because they actually want to see it, then it's not like you're disturbing anyone's experience. And if you are, it's probably someone who deserves it.

    Smuggle in your own snacks and I bet it'd be worth the free admission just for the possible dirty looks you'll get from any maga in the audience, to hell with whether they pay out the money or not -- and if they ask you to leave: "but I was told I had to stay in my seat the whole time, will you still be paying me my $50 if I go?". And if for some strange reason they do, all the better.

  • Italy’s foreign minister defends ICE attendance at Winter Olympics after outrage: ‘It’s not like the SS are coming’

    Jump

  • The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the brownshirts are more apt. ICE is far too bumbling, incompetent and obvious to be the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police.

  • This is the part that's especially amusing to me.

  • yes I'm aware we are not the literal greatest country on earth (despite frequent claims to the contrary) and are in fact far from it, I've had many frequent reminders and am aware, vaguely, of how other countries do things better than we do. But by all means don't miss the chance to remind the ones in the back who don't know this, though I struggle to think of how many of those people would be on Lemmy.

  • I don't know if you've noticed, but "donald trump cannot [xyz] because [abc]" is not a phrase that has meaning anymore in this country, as far as I'm concerned. It's worth less than "liberty and justice for all", and those words are cheap here, nowadays.

    Literally how many times does this have to play out before people recognize the pattern? I have lost fucking count.

    talking heads on TV: "donald trump cannot do the thing because it would not be allowed"

    donald trump: does the thing anyways

    everyone: surprised pikachu.jpg

    Not to mention, trying to think like Donald Trump, I can think of several actual tangible "advantages" trying to do exactly this would confer: 1. He could recruit the freshly pardoned racist murderer into his personal goon squad of racist murderers, ICE. 2. It would cause needless pain and suffering to the family of Massey, and the cruelty is the point. 3. It would invoke a media shitstorm on the left, while the right would paint it as "owning the libs" and "supporting our brave officers", the usual horseshit. And finally, it would be further unlawfully expanding the power of the executive branch, something he has been doing literally all year.

    If I'm wrong, I'd love to hear how.

  • How come weed/trees is not 100% legal in the US? It would unburden institutions let private retailers grow it saving the tax payer money instead of shelling out for insurance?

    Jump

  • ding ding ding, this answer. Who the fuck thinks that because only 10% of prisoners are in explicitly for-profit prisons, that only those 10% of prisons turn a profit from people being incarcerated for bullshit reasons? They're all for profit. Who profits differs a bit from here to there, but (iirc) it's usually whoever runs the commissary. You've got a quite very literally captive market, and it keeps the poors poor to charge whatever insane prices they like for basic necessities while paying them peanuts for labor they provide while inside (or their family fronts the cost, which is also arguably one of their desired knock-on effects). I just choose to say "for-profit" because, in some countries, prisons are focused on minimizing recidivism and promoting rehabilitation, not propping up a business model.

  • Because drugs are a convenient pretext to harass minorities,

    “You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

    -- John Ehrlichman, White House Counsel and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under Richard Nixon

    and heavy-handed anti-drug legislation remains a useful pretext to the government to this day for largely the same reason, as well as driving modern slavery (gotta keep those numbers up in for-profit prisons).

  • Let's see, I'll be twenty nine in April, so... Tried for about ten years? 19 would've been about when I started feeling like I had my shit together enough that someone else might be interested. You know, the usual delusions of adequacy one has before life comes out of nowhere to suckerpunch you in the dick.

    A decade of trying has gotten me one single "relationship" that was someone leading me on for a few months out of... Boredom, I guess? They wound up dumping me via text on Christmas morning, saying they didn't actually feel anything for me, and pretty much everyone before or since has used me for what feels like entertainment. Turns out I'm interesting enough to be amusing for a week or two, sometimes a bit longer, but not enough to be actually wanted.

    There's one guy that was interested in me as their therapist and then wasn't interested at all when he got on antidepressants, another that was intensely charming for weeks and then flipped off like a switch, and more I could remember and list off if I felt they were worth remembering, but they really aren't.

    I've just sort of accepted that not everyone gets to do everything they want in life. I'm either just not attractive, or I'm only attractive in the same way badly made gimmick Christmas toys are attractive to children; they look fun to play with for a bit, but not engaging in the long term and easily broken.

    Good luck, people suck.

  • worse than a liar; a liar makes you doubt everything the liar says, but generally you don't lose faith in all information as a result of one person being full of shit.

    AI doesn't just lie, it lies often enough, convincingly enough, and is ubiquitous enough now that it dilutes the truth and makes everyone (like OP) question harder the validity of everything they see -- or, more easily, start believing in nothing outright.

    LLMs are neat tools, if very flawed ones, but image/video genAI is a fucking Torment Nexus that should not have been made.
