I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.

Sometimes I turn into a bird.

  • BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza.

  • So let me get this straight: I'm supposed to vote for someone who thinks it is too politically inconvenient to be publically against an ongoing genocide? Who is sending arms and aid to a nation committing genocide??

    There were snipers on the roof of my college because of the pro Palestinian protesters. Pro Palestinian protesters get lumped in with antisemites due to just having human empathy. The voters needed something more than what we saw in the news: furrowed brows, hand wringing, and money sent for bombs. Palestinians die wretched deaths even if you feel real bad about it.

    I can imagine the energy that we all could have felt if Harris/Biden had actually did the right thing.

    I voted for Harris by the way. Not because I expected she'd end the genocide, but because Trump isn't a statesman and can't be trusted if we get dragged into war.

  • I don’t understand the Democrat strategy at all

    Someone else summed it up better than I can. The democratic party is doing exactly what it set out to do.

    Nitter link.

    They have no interest in furthering progressive policies so they don't. That's why the DNC chair is calling Bernie Sander's critique of the party's platform bullshit right now, instead of admitting he's right.

    The system is as it does.

  • When the thing you enjoy and rely on is privately owned, the only way you can express your disappointment is to vote with your dollar.

    Edit - the Post has always been too neolib for me to read regularly. I am not a subscriber

  • At least the art got "better".

    Actually, it's ugly as sin, isn't it? The artist probably should have spent more time on the characters hands in the last panel instead of giving his face a tilt. Oh well, at least he's trying.

  • Roblox's New Child Safety Changes Reveal How Dangerous It's Been For Years

  • There are no checks whatsoever, no email or phone number required, no verification options—it just hands you an account for a 99-year-old, with full access to all chat features. (It took maybe five clicks from having no account to being able to play Blood & Gore.)

    Come on now Kotaku. I was a kid once on the internet. I lied about my age once to sign up for Neopets, which had text forums, private messages and user-created pages. You could even use HTML and hotlink images. It really wasn't a big deal because my parents paid attention to what I did online, and the audience of the website was just children or people who wanted to play a simple game.

    My mom ended up playing it, so she must have known I lied about my age to get access. She had hella neopoints.

    For content marked 17+, you do need to verify your age with documentation

    WHY IS THERE CONTENT FOR 17+ ON ROBLOX? Isn't this the TRUE child safety problem? Why do this at all? Why attract people looking for 17+ content on a platform for children??? I read that Hindenburg report, the entire platform is a mess. This company deserves to fail and those investors deserve to be left holding the bag.

  • Thank you. That answers my question. I figured you wanted to remain anonymous, but I liked your answer and I'll be interested in what you find.

    I was trying to word my initial post in a way to prevent you from becoming defensive, perhaps I failed. Though, I do feel quoting yourself is a bit... gauche, no? Especially since you are remaining anonymous.

  • Are you a single person or a group of people? Do you have any credentials that you'd like to share that might give some context to your research?

  • ‘It’s mindblowing’: US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surge

    Jump

  • We need to stop pretending this is due to a lack of education or critical thinking. Sure, that's true for some, but I'm betting the vast majority of these conspiracy theories are spread by people that know that they are lies and don't care. Evil Russian propaganda bots aren't a great explanation for the totality of the phenomena. People say outrageous things because it gets them clicks on the internet and hurts the "other team".

    We saw it recently with the lady lying about hatian immigrants eating cats - link. She didn't care how true it was - only that it hurt the other team. They have it comin', anyway, is their perspective when they're saying these things.

  • 7 Things You Should Know Before Switching to GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • I'm not touting apple. Its just a fact.Graphene has you check boxes so you know you're giving permissions to your car. It informs you what information you're giving to android auto. And, if you've installed apps through alternate sources, you do have to go through developer mode in Android Auto to enable apps from alternative sources. It takes less than 5 mins and you only have to do it once, but if you don't, you'll end up thinking android auto is broken in graphene, like the poster I was responding to believed.

    I don't think there is a better solution for graphene - it works fine after minimal setup. I'd gladly do that to preserve my privacy when it matters.

    Apple doesn't give a shit about informing you what it does with your info so it doesn't do that. I'm not saying its better I'm just being honest. Its quick and dirty.

  • Android auto also works fine for me. I haven't used an android phone in years so I can only compair it to apple car play. There are extra configuration steps to make it work but its not hard (just have to read some messages and go through some menus)

    Apple car play "just works".

  • Pssh everyone knows the only correct diet for a cat is their natural one: giant ocean predators (salmon and tuna) and corn-fed livestock. All mixed up with preservatives and taurine and ash, just like their mawmaw cats used to make!

  • Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?

    Jump

  • Have you considered you are just observing this:

    Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the "default" liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.

    Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they're going to ban you. It's not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.
