Let your children and immunocompromised friends and family die

Unfortunately, that’s the part that makes me unable to just laugh and say “have at it”. I can let my sympathies wane for those old enough to vote.

IMO the problem is, they falsely assume everyone wants what the republicans are selling, and their biggest flaw is that they are pollarizing. That’s why they always start introducing as much republican lite things into their policies.

They don’t understand, that by doing that, they are effectively telling the american people that the republicans are right. IE say the republican party on immigration etc… is lock em up in the fastest way, forget about humanity and ship them out as fast as possible, fuck due process these people are dangerous and destroying everything.

Democrats: Well I can back you on making sure we get them out as soon as we can, but I think we can do it without human rights violations.

They don’t realize… that effectively to the outside observer going off of both of those policies they are hearing “both parties agree these people are dangerous and ruining everything, one wants to get rid of them as fast as possible, the other wants to prioritize us not hurting them over preventing them from harming us”.

I mean if you don’t want others to get to it.

Or if say you want to participate on 2 seperate servers that don’t federate eachother.

But in general a small hobby lemmy instance, can join all the communities on the large general purpose one. Hence, you are talking from a server I’m not familiar with, and we’re talking in a discussion on the largest most general purpose instance.

Only reason I can think of is if you are really worried of people confusing you for say a Deranged_Kermit@lemmy.world, or something.

Followed by the fascist ripping it up. “DEI!”

The only “grain of truth” I would say to the “woke movies” claims etc… Is that sometimes, studios will use minority casting, as a substitute for coming up with a good story or doing anything actually original in the plot. IE a shit movie with a diverse cast is still a shit movie.

I would suppose it also ties down to the fact that, actually trying to represent more people as a push, also started around the time that, movie costs scaled up so much that investors aren’t willing to go in on a movie that isn’t a sequel or remake of something that everyone has already seen. Movies now are more diverse, and 90% of them are crap, but the correlation isn’t causation, and that’s demonstrable by the fact that movies that have all straight white characters, are as bland and unoriginal as the ones that the right blames DEI for why they suck.

But yes… in short DEI, affirmative action, and whatever they called it before has always been the scapegoat for why everything gets worse.

I’m losing track of all the tiplines… but IMO I think the ideal should be universally reporting republican representatives. Usually there’s enough connection to make it even not super off the wall.

DEI, lets report every minority/female republican congressperson (especially the more they claim to be against DEI). Or even better flip the script on DEI.

IE Dan Cane was selected purely for his race, over clearly more qualified C.Q Brown.

Transgender, why not basely accuse anyone of being trans. (again more anti-trans people the better)

Communist sympathizers. “rich guys are re-distributing wealth from the poor to themselves”.

Illegal immigrants: Well there’s that south african guy who’s actually literally managing what I used to consider an impossible stereotype of Taking our jobs, and being too lazy to work, and mooching off government programs

Best I can find links a sweedish page on the topic

It’s kind of odd I can’t find more sources which does make me a bit skeptical

Bottom line is it’s the handicap of trying to keep the system fair.

It’s like the battle between Hero’s and Villains… of which the hero keeps throwing the villain back in the same prison system/jails that they have escaped or manipulated their way out of 20 times before. Meanwhile every time they get close the villain gives his best effort to permenantly kill the hero.

Also sadly there’s the part that seems to go the opposite direction in fictional hero/villain stories. We assume hero’s are really good at uniting and working together. Villains are constantly going to be backstabbing eachother. Reality is, we can’t agree on good, but damn did they come together and unify amazingly under a plan of horrors.

THE CRIPPLE PEOPLE JAR!!!

IMO I can only assume trump is setting up for rich stock traders… basically to have pump and dump wavey markets.

By threatening total economic collapse… postponing it at the last second. It’s literally making the stock market a roller coaster. of which it will rise somewhat when postponed, fall when the date gets close… people could make a killing buying at the bottoms and selling at the ups.

it has voice and video… though to be honest I’ve never used it.

Trump continues to give us temporary repreives… from the horrible ideas he wants to enact.

I have to wonder if the whole thing is a stock market go up and down kind of plan…

(IE tell rich investors to sell) Announce a policy that till tank the market (tell investors to buy when prices hit bottom), announce temporary reprieve (prices go back up, then tell them to sell before the date comes by again… watch stock dip again as uncertainty of whether another reprieve will come again, anounce reprieve at the last second…).

Basically this kind of plan massively awards the constant in and out style of trading, and punishes the “hold on for the long haul” investors.

What if bots have gotten so advanced they have simulated lives and backstory to help sell their reality.

In which case… could you even be sure you aren’t a bot?

Actually there’s an accusation that may have to do with why trump likes the guy (even if he wasn’t charged for it)

aww fuck… considering the obvious motives of the epstein file redaction/coverup… is it totally infeasible trump had some part in those assassinations.

is that harmful for my future job opportunities?? what if a company wants to see my iq and they see 86

Has any job interview you’ve ever gone to ever asked for an IQ? I’ve never heard of it, and it sounds like a crazy stupid idea for anyone to go for. You like linux, you’ve programmed websites. The bullshit test that your employers are going to care about are certifications. Look around at job opportunities in your area (or if you are lucky remote), see what certs are most commonly demanded, and focus on getting them. In addition whatever you go for, try and get some hands on experiences in them, projects etc… whether it’s personal.

Or say if web development is the direction you want to go… then try and find a friend or family member that needs a web site or project made… make them a “client” so that you can claim it as “work experience”.

Honestly in my experience in IT… generally speaking when it comes to getting a job, in order of value “work experience” > Certifications > Primary education (IE Degree/diploma).

IQ test, I’ve never once in my life come across that question coming up… just don’t advertise it and most likely no one will ever care.

damn… there goes my heist plans… was going to wait till AI robots took over the manufacturing lines, then walk in and start stealing product right off the line. I never anticipated all the robots would know kung fu.

Not a bad list, one thing I would say though, for self hosting, vaultwarden is a far more ideal server than bitwarden (same clients work, but faster and all features are unlocked).

BEVs need to park for a while to get a substantial charge, not even full one. The fast chargers get Teslas to 80% in something like thirty minutes

That’s why my point was “truck stop level gas station”. IE those huge gas stations off the highway, several in most cities… huge lots, and most importantly have at least one, sometimes a few restaurants inside. IE they are already designed as a good place for truckers to take a half hour to an hour to, re-organize themselves for a long trip. Not a totally unreasonable process for a road tripping family etc… to hit every 3-4 hours that an EV can drive.

I can’t fully disagree on the potential of renting a car if it’s extremely infrequent to make long trips. Public transit would be nice, though gotta say there’s a lot of places where that’s pretty non-viable. Least from where I live the nearest bus station from me is about 30-45 minutes away by car.

Exactly that’s where it should be doubled down… if their own estimates are correct… it’s only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn’t throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.

Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever… but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.
