  • Except even "don't murder" and "don't rape" isn't equally applied to all citizen. In the US, you got the orange man as the prime example. Here in Canada, you just gotta look at how first nations victims are more often than not left to fend for themselves, while Mounties will ignore them if the case involves any type of effort.

  • Sorry, the only drugs available in the cult is whatever you can buy in a Texas gas station. There's some offering, but it won't be that good primo shit.

  • At first I was doubt.jpg, but then I went on the search engines and then found it. While the article is more tame than what the headline + meme portrays - it doesn't advocate to keep the Culture war going, it is advocating for an end to distractions - it's still some liberal bullshit about how "we shouldn't antagonize the rich". I mean, in my case at least, I don't want to antagonize the people behind the riches, but I'm going to point out how they act like imps and goblins every time we try to levy any kind of taxes against their riches, as if the only variable was that they worked hard and that is why they are rich.

    Anyway, I cast my vote saying the meme is justified. Carry on.

  • Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.

  • you're right. More like discussing with an Alzheimer's addled brain being coerced into a particular set of vocabulary.

  • I keep saying that those llm peddlers are selling us a brain, when at most they only deliver Wernicke's + Broca's area of a brain.

    Sure, they are necessary for a human like brain, but it's only 10% of the job done my guys.

  • AOC Raises the Alarm About ‘Erratic’ Trump’s Mental State

    Jump

  • In my mind canon, Trump is a failed Lich that fell into primordial pride-juice, and is now being manipulated by competing Necromancers for fun and profits. While he is an undesirable force in this world, I see the problem mostly with the necromancers, and I'd much rather see those get their comeuppance. And the loot drop must be exquisite.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

  • I think I did, but nothing that a resync didn't fix.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I'll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.

    For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same device ID.

    It's not a painless experience yet, but it's way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.

  • I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm in the UK called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.

  • Male Mar-a-Lago face

    Jump

  • There is something humorous about the fact that they give this description

    a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women [...]

    And later gives this list

    Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include First Lady Melania Trump, Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem, and Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

    There is a good joke to be made about Matt Gaetz being the only "man" in it, but I fail to find the words that safely makes it feel acceptable, so I'll just point it out and assume that lout probably had choice words about the importance of "masculinity" or some such.
