I’ve seen many body cam videos and people don’t even get tased for kicking officers (even POC). Watching the video clearly shows the shooting was unjustified.

Wait, which numeral system are we using

I seriously keep reading LLM as MLM

And with AI sinking its claws in… I can only imagine how rough the ride will be. There is still good content out there, there is just more trash to sift through to find it.

For real. No one else in my life uses Adblocker, so when I visit, I’m reminded of how horrible ads have gotten.

It’s why I can never watch the Cosby show again.

I think ultimately that won’t be an issue in the long run. This is definitely a possibility, but there are other countries, other independent artists, and technological advances that allow (or will allow) creators to release good stories. I believe the people will find a way, somehow, even if things suck temporarily.

Hey, you made the choice that was best for you. There are pros and cons for each, and right now my only option is to rent. I am extremely fortunate to have a very below market rate and will take advantage of this time to save all I can.

Yeah, it is a pipe dream. I’m just sick of the unaffordability.

I use my towel in the opposite direction of what’s shown here. Although there shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve cleansed thoroughly (and I do), I personally cannot get past the thought of drying my ass and face with the same exact part of the towel. Luckily, I let my face air dry for skincare purposes.

The statement says the decision to ban trans women “was based solely on technical and operational limitations.”

“In a global online tournament, we do not have reliable tools to ensure transparency and verification for every participant. For this reason, we had to make decisions under uncertainty, relying instead on the trust we place in team leaders and their players,” it says. “… This situation does not reflect a lack of willingness to be inclusive, but rather the absence of adequate mechanisms to manage verification in a fair, safe, and respectful manner for all participants.”

So, WTF does this even mean? I don’t watch e-sports, but are leagues sometimes separated by gender? If so, why? I always assumed there were mixed teams, since gender or sex in this realm is 100% irrelevant when it comes to skill.

Either way, it’s complete bullshit.

One doesn’t always need to buy a home, but I don’t know your circumstances. Houses should be as affordable as cars, but I can’t even afford to pay on a 250K loan.

I wonder what would happen if everyone suddenly stopped being in debt. Really wish people would just stop feeding the beast.

My company tells us not to expect privacy on work devices, period.

I bought the latest of some devices earlier this year, but didn’t have cash to buy a completely new PC. I’ve decided if my older desktop breaks, I’ll just have to get a “cheap” laptop & install Linux. Hopefully things stabilize within the next few years as manufacturers shift production.

I will admit, I can maybe tell if a video is AI and can listen when something is AI (the way it speaks and the formulaic feel are dead giveaways for me), but often cannot tell if written word is AI. I am not looking forward to its technological improvements… 🫠

And it fucking sucks. I’ve been getting my resources from non USA government sites or my state health board (since that information is still reliable).

Yeah, we do a lot of inner fighting and it is difficult to get through it. I even find myself getting frustrated at people, who earn twice as much as me, complaining about how they live paycheck to paycheck. The cost of living is not high here (and I save a lot myself), and I think about the wealth I could build if I had their income; basically I think, “why are you complaining??” But we have to remember we are on the same team. We are all ultimately getting screwed over by the owner class.

A few months ago, I did a fresh install of Windows 11 with no access to any personal files, etc, all done on a separate drive. After seeing all of the changes, I am glad I haven’t used it since. Holy moly.

I mean, many Americans live in medium to low cost of living areas. My state’s median income is below 6 figures, and even costs within the largest city are nowhere near what it costs in NYC or San Francisco.
