99% of people using office products daily will die True.

As I am on dialysis, I have a nutritionalist on my “care team”. I have tried repeatedly to explain to them that I fucking KNOW what I need to do, it is the DOING that is the issue. Yes, I have tried alarms. Yes, I have tried post-it notes. Yes, if you can think of it I probably have tried it.

don’t be a dick… don’t be a dick…

True, although the corollary: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‘I know, I’ll use regular expressions.’ Now they have two problems.

Wealth inequality is the root cause. Fix our oligarch problem and the rest becomes plausible.

So the fuck what?

MAIN SCREEN TURN ON

QI before E

had time to make the sign, I see, that’s not TRUE panic. :)

$3 rocket This is ridiculous on its face. You’re talking $15k-$50k for such a missile. You can’t use model rocket engines. Hardware costs real money.

If I recall correctly, the problem with that mission was that if you got TOO close to the train, the shooter couldn’t hit anything, so the problem was the players did the mission TOO well. heh.

My apartment manager doesn’t like the dozen chickens running around, but I told them the Trump administration told me to do it, and what can they say to that? I tell the neighbors the same thing when they complain about the noise and chicken shit everywhere.

That’s usually how I find out some celebrity has died - usually the meme with Death standing in front of the claw machine with “Dammit, is [fascist politician] even IN here?” lol

Ah, thank you. I hadn’t heard of that one so I was really trying to figure out what it could be. lol Just looked it up and… it sounds delicious, of course. And I bet the food at the place in the menu is good, because when the owners of places like that struggle with the menu, it means the food is probably legit. heh

I hate this one because it makes it sound exotic, like chicken on a stick grilled with interesting spices or something. lol

You are correct. Although, in this particular instance, they are also correct. lol

This submission is exactly the divisive shit fascists love to see. Congratulations. Fascists love people who bitch about boomers - they ignore all the young people coming up conservative and all the old progressives. Fascists love people who bitch about various kinda of left-wing or pseudo-left-wing groups and ADORE threads where people argue over what those terms even mean. It all distracts from uniting against fascism. Fascists love the "both sides’ bullshit - especially because it contains enough grains of truth that it is very compelling (like a lof ot their propaganda, they sometimes raise some good points that get lost in the fascism) - because ti causes people not to vote. Mostly progressives. Fascists love this thread. I fucking don’t.

Anytime a left-wing person talks about being disappointed with their lesser-of-two-evil options, people get all up in arms about the idea that we owe the Democratic Party our fealty. Nobody owes anyone anything, but when given the choice between a fascist who wouldn’t mind seeing me dead vs. an establishment Democrat who doesn’t mind if I manage to survive just as long as the oligarchs get their tax breaks, I’ll go with the one who doesn’t want to actively take away my human rights every time, if for no other reason that it’s the better choice at that point. So what the fuck are you doing BEFORE the general election? Or are you blowing the entire process off and then feeling smug about not voting for the lesser-of-two-evil THEREBY HELPING THE GREATER EVIL WIN.

My favorite geyser.

If “they” get to the point of rounding up all Signal users, not using Signal will not prevent you from being rounded up.

With my health, I’m not allowed any stimulants. I don’t have any directives not to consume caffeine, but I wouldn’t consume large amounts. It’s one of the reasons I gave up looking for work and just said fuck it and took disability. The US has been against my health all of my life, so fuck it, I’m done fighting.

I’m all for it. Seriously. Considering the dialogue happening in many threads, I think it’s important to remember that Democrats and Republicans are still not the same. This is an example of an issue where many Democrats are failing us, yes. Just don’t expand that into “bOtH sIdEs” when that’s not true. But hells yes. We need to prosecute criminals, and we need to throw out establishment Democrats and get real progressives running and winning. Always support the best candidate running (before/in the primaries, and then whoever makes it to the general).

<3 lol

I’ve seen those. I’m sure I’ve been called those, but my point is two-fold: Act BEFORE the general election to support better candidates But when the choice is between lesser-evil and greater-evil, NOT voting for lesser-evil IS VOTING FOR GREATER EVIL. That’s not opinion, it’s simple math. If the only thing someone does with politics is refrain from voting in the general election, they absolutely are supporting fascism. If the only thing someone does is vote in the general election, they are not supporting progressive candidates if their only option is between a fascist and an establishment Democrat. You must act BEFORE the primary to support who you want to SEE in the primary. Vote for the best option. In the general, vote for the least-bad option. Not doing those things supports the greater evil of fascist.

Staffing is not what they’ve said they’re using it for. Coordinating scheduling of flights to reduce waiting and conflicts is what I recall seeing.

if an empty statement can be a statement. Sometimes saying nothing is the loudest statement you can make. ;-)

EDIT: I’m editing my replies to you because all you have done is refuse to read anything I wrote, are vocally supporting fascism, and fucking lying about me, trying to make accusations that are untrue. Fuck anyone who does that shit. I hope you personally feel the effects of the fascism whose dick you obviously fucking suck. Piss off.

Please reconsider your use of the “R” word as it is harmful and ableist. Feel free to find your own source, but here’s one: specialolympics.org/…/why-the-r-word-is-the-r-slu…

“Yes, but there is a large, pressing, hard-to-ignore issue we must address about this…”

woot, at least I know the reason, but it’s still shitty - thank you <3

LOL, I know it’s not what you mean at all, but your answer gives me the vibes of “so fuck it, let’s all vote for Sauron”. Even though I know that’s not what you mean at all. I guess the ONLY good news is that fascism genreally is stupid. (Which is sad considering how stupid they are and yet still manage to do so much damage. I guess democracy and the general public are that much stupider.)

I am now conditioned to think that this is from Taskmaster. lol

I’d never heard of the game, so I was curious to know what AI would do with it, hoping it would try to solve the math. Nope. It recognized it and told me where it was from. lol.

I’m glad to see pushback on this article. I expected, frankly, knee-jerk reactions, but i’m pleased to see that people see through a lot of the bullshit. The aspect I wanted to discuss: We’re not losing our forests. At least not in the US. en.wikipedia.org/…/Forests_of_the_United_States We started out with a billion acres of forest in the US before Europeans came. We’ve lost about a quarter of that, but most of that was before a hundred years ago - for various reasons, it’s pretty stable, and we’re not only growing new wood for the most part instead of chopping down old growth, we’re gaining forest instead of losing it. I think we’re - overall - doing a not bad job on the forestry front. We need to keep moving away from petrochemicals (i.e. not just oil/gas/coal for power/transportation, but working towards finding replacements for all this damn plastic, too), and keep improving alternate energy sources. I have some hope on that front - for a tiny example, studies have looked at electric vehicles with higher miles, and the batteries are lasting much better than was feared (90% after 90k miles is not bad), and with new battery tech we should be able to better store wind/solar energy for use when it’s needed. There is some great news along those lines. We need to get rid of regresive politicians who are keeping polluting energy alive (along with shitting on human rights), and to do that we need to focus on getting rid of our oligarchs powering that system. But on the actual “nature” frnt, things are not bad in many ways (while not being great in others, sure).

What I dislike is the lumping of all datacenters into one hated bucket. I suspect people don’t realize that, for example, the fediverse… exists in datacenters. Take away datacenters and the entire internet goes away. I think what people don’t want is a bunch of shitty datacenters (meaning using shitty power sources, for example) that are being built for AI or massive government/private data over-reach. You WANT some datacenters… This is like being against… prepared food. Sure, cooking from scratch is better, but outlaw all prepared foods and now you will be exhausted cooking every single day. We depend on some prepared foods. What we want is less added sugar, more healthy prepared foods, safer food, at a lower cost. We want improvements, not a complete ban. Same with datacenters.

delightfully so

It is wild to me that just a few words can cause my internal voice to read something in a particular accent. Well, a Stephen Merchant accent specifically. heh

One price, for everybody, all the time. One tax rate, for everything, all the time. One Price to rule them all, One Currency to find them, One Tax Rate to bring them all, and in the shipping bind them In the Land of Canada where the Mooses lie.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.

All I can think when I see this emoticon is what I will probably reproduce poorly: :-) (====3 :-O (====3 :-O==3 :-O3 :3 It ruined that emotion forever. Hopefully I have shared the pain. :)

It’s just the one swan, actually

Well, at least comments in this thread can be excused because it doesn’t link to an article, just a stupid fucking reply. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING: AI will be used in the predictions about flight frequencies. IT WILL NOT BE IN THE TOWER. (At least not yet. Which is what the articles are about. So at least realize that if you’re joking/speculating/bitching about ATC in the tower with AI, that’s not what this is) I understand the HYPER ANTI-AI sentiments, but jesus christ people, try reading about what’s actually happening, yeah?

Fuck off, I’m quite well-read, but I haven’t happened to read whatever book this is. I’ve actually suffered off and on in my life because of my extensive and sometimes archaic vocabulary that came from reading so much as a child. I’m sure you meant nothing by your comment, but fuck off anyway, you’ve hit on a rather sensitive nerve. I fucking LOVE the crowd downvoting when a reference is missed. Fucking LOVE that shit because all it does is show how shitty these sites can be when they come together to bully someone. Voting doesn’t matter - except it’s the community feeling smug because they happen to know some thing that in this particular case, I happen not to. So fuck everyone.

put safeguards in place to keep this from happening again. What safeguards will work against decades of oligarch-controlled media putting out fascist propaganda? What safeguards can Democrats put in with a mere majority when it takes a supermajority to make real changes? Most importantly, and I hate to say it: What would Democrats do even if they had a su permajority when establishment Democrats are content to suck at the teat of the oligarchs? While it’s worth the effort to elect Democrats, even establishment ones, because on economic issues they won’t help us much, on the issue of human rights in particular, there is a huge difference between the fascists and the establishment Democrats (and if that does’nt sound right, go read up on Christian nationalism and pay more fucking attention). But even the bluest of blue waves is not going to help much on most fronts. But it will help on some fronts.

OTOH, one of the few coping techniques I’ve found to be helpful is when I absolutely MUST not lose something, especially to take with me somewhere on the next day, to loudly proclaim “I’m going to lose this thing, so I’m putting it here so I know where the fuck I lost it” - and making a big deal about it usually helps solve that problem. …if I do remember that I need it the next day, of course.

Caffeine does nothing for me as far as I can tell.

Which has nothing to do with this.

Three whole extra downvotes after I changed my perfectly polite comment to griping. 21 from missing info, 3 from the edit. So no. But have fun, whatever.

The thing I remember about Germany is that it’s actually relatively safe to accept a “handy” there. But I can only imagine the hilarity when a German is abroad and seeking to purchace a mobile phone :)
