  • Yeah this was strange—the boat strikes have been explained as hitting drug boats, and ground target strikes have been discussed as “going after drug locations” so either that’s a tanker full of fent, or they’ll say something mundane like the oil revenue is used by Maduro to fun his sun cartel. Either way, it’s just piracy out in the open. It’s amusing that they’re using DOJ comms to brag about it, like which is it, a law enforcement operation (nope you specifically made it mil so you could better get away with murder) or a military conflict, in which case what the fuck does bondi have to do with it.

  • Graduating from murder to grand theft. This whole thing is so surreal—completely fabricated without even a basic effort at misdirection, and this time, everything’s broken enough that everyone’s just like “when do the air strikes start”

  • Also you're tied down so you can't storm the cockpit.

  • Shit yeah I neglected to consider the rows in front and back, you’re definitely gonna have to listen to them as well, sigh.

    But people are picking the Trump and RFK row and I think they’re forgetting how bad Trump is supposed to smell. RFK would probably keep offering you tinctures and months old jerky he made from dead birds he found around Washington so I don’t buy that that’s a good option.

  • I mean 4 is so obviously better than alternatives, the quiz feels like a non choice. I get papa John AND Alex jones???

  • 'Made-up quote' in Canadian satire site The Beaverton fools Time Magazine

    Jump

  • My guess for how: they used an AI content generation or research system, which picked up the Beaverton “quote” during search and had no ability to discern satire from reality.

  • Conservatives report higher happiness levels and self-reported mental health than liberals. No data charted for Hexbears

    Jump

  • Actually just looked at the article/larger chart. It does have income section and it plays out like you would imagine, but the gap between lib-conservative stays more or less constant. I don’t see an obvious display of proportion of each, but he does say the average American rates about 58-60 score so I suppose you could sort of backwards engineer from there.

  • Would also be interesting/helpful to have like a relative ratio/weighting somehow visualized also… for instance I very much doubt Gen Z is 50-50 split between liberal conservative spectrum, even if the poll only selected an equal number of respondents for each.

  • Also this. If AGI>ASI is at all like they’re threatening, we couldn’t even comprehend how to shackle it, so choosing to make it can only be read as suicidal urge.

  • Great movie, great cast.

  • Honestly probably not an idle worry there haha.

  • To tag on to what others have said (I’ve wondered the same as you) there are apparently recreational benefits, not least of which it may allow you to “go again” sooner than without. Add in the medications angle, bad ultra-processed food, and the ever looming spectre of microplastics and endocrine disrupters saturating the environment, and there’s probably a large slice of people out there who could use some chemical assistance.

  • So much alchemy vibes on this whole thing. “It can’t do anything that will remotely cover its costs, but he who controls the wunder AGI controls the world… so you gotta go all in and back us for when we build it”. “If you don’t, someone else will, and then we will all lose because we will not control it.”

  • Yes, I used to joke about this being a good thing, but the allergy, like you said, can get triggered by all sorts of common products (including toothpaste) and means that even if you adopt a vegan approach, you still can’t eat public food or use anything without care because you can get a reaction and die.

  • Watching the first episode of Ken Burns' American Revolution and it's actually fairly based...

    Jump

  • Yeah I remember watching and thinking, hey I thought the suffragettes and temperance folks were just no-fun scolds or religiously motivated! Turns out, no, it was a literal public health crisis. The anecdotes about the men taking all their wages and basically living at the bar (which served them all their meals and got their mail to keep them around) while the wife and kids suffered at home was enlightening in that regard as well.

  • I feel like I saw a quote/article on my Lemmy feed where he was saying that working on this one had “opened his eyes/radicalized him a bit” or something to that effect.

    Unrelated: I remember watching some of his prohibition doc, and in the first episode you come across the fact that something like the average daily liquor consumption for males between 18 and 30 in the late 1800s was like a pint of whisky… blew my mind lol.

    Why Smart Rings Track Your Health Better And Are Quietly Replacing Other Fitness Trackers - Yanko Design

    Jump

  • I read the article for a few minutes, but it never explained to me why I would need to give up on my other fitness tracker. Basically seemed like a ad.

  • French toast or pancakes for breakfast?

    Jump

  • Ehh I usually make pancakes due to ease and not having bread lying around when I want a sweet breakfast, but I’m torn because I recently had “banana bread french toast” and it was crazy good.

  • Kicking around an idea in the vein of "what if sapient colony insects but not copy-paste military sci-fi villains"

    Jump

  • Was gonna mention this one also. Additionally, can’t remember exactly which one of the books it was (possibly hydrogen sonata?) but in Ian Bank’s Culture series there’s a fairly well imagined race of insects with complex cultural behaviors. Another book had an interesting lobster/nordic warrior/klingon type race as well.
