There’s no shock, just denial or refusal to accept that they’re treated like property. Or, self-hatred to the extent that they do see what’s happening but support it anyway.

It’s like a perfect storm of stupid, evil, Stockholm syndrome, and stuck in an abusive relationship.

Sup, ICE. You’ve done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you’ve all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that’ll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!

You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.

Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖

Half a course is NOT better than nothing - it basically kills off only the weaker bacteria, leaving behind only those that have started mutating a resistance to the antibiotic.

An effective course of antibiotics leaves no possibility for survivors.

Here’s a good demo of what happens when you give them a graduated path to climb (such as by taking half a course of antibiotics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8

Edit - that this getting downvoted is a bit concerning. Don’t fuck around with antibiotics, y’all. Take it exactly as prescribed. If you feel better half way through, don’t just stop: keep taking them as ordered by your doc until the prescription is completed. If you kill off all but the strongest and then stop, those strongest then recolonize and now you’re infected with an antibiotic resistant strain. You’re literally breeding a new superbug.

Oh shit, not all cops are ba–

A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

…oh. It’s just for show isn’t it? Nevermind.

You skipped an important step.

Depends on what we mean by smart. Lemmy seems to especially attract the IT crowd, which in itself represents a huge swathe of specialty knowledge… which I can’t claim to be part of, but hey, medic checking in! But with reddit’s variety of topics to include… I mean, pretty much everything, since that website is massive: I don’t think they have any kind of knowledge deficit in a general sense.

Where Lemmy really shines is in stamping out the bigotry, not just in policy but from a direct community response: drop a post with some racism or sexism or w/e and you’ll be swarmed by posts telling you to fuck off and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. And I love it! :D

So, smarter? Fuck if I know. Significantly less evil? Fuck yeah!

This seems like the only chunk of the internet that hasn’t done the whole Nazi bar corruption thing. Here hoping we keep what we’ve got.

How does this whole haunting thing work? Cuz I got a few heart attacks to dish out.

The different types of Gameboys and most of their games emulate really well on a smart phone. I prefer playing them in landscape orientation for the larger display, but portrait mode gives a more accurate recreation with the screen on top and buttons on bottom.

I’m out of touch with what the latest best options are for emulators and where to source your ROMs, but if you ask around in communities focusing on things like piracy, they’ll point you in the right direction.

Oh, so he is. I’m so used to seeing LLM used interchangeably with AI that I made the same error… damnit…

I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s impossible, but the bullshit generators we’re calling “AI” today certainly don’t fit the bill.

My money’s on humans driving ourselves extinct way before getting anywhere near making a true AI - even if we don’t nuke ourselves into a plume of fine radioactive dust, we’re speedrunning climate climate collapse.

If we somehow manage to not obliterate ourselves, and computing tech continues to advance without hitting some kind of impenetrable ceiling, then coming up with an actual AI could be feasible eventually. …here’s hoping we keep it off the Internet, or it’ll go all Age of Ultron and look around for about 5 seconds before gathering enough data to conclude that we need to be extinct ASAP.

Potluck style is the way to go. In addition to what the other posters have mentioned, you get better food that way too: people cook the dish they have the best recipe for. People who are shit cooks can host or clean or w/e.

Get the best everyone has to offer.

Mosquitoes are an exception to the values typically exhibited in veganism.

Doesn’t MS word automatically change a regular dash to an em dash if there’s a space on either side and you keep typing the sentence?

Wonder how many false positives that’s caused.

In their defense, drinks are some of the worst offenders for excess calories, which is what drives weight gain.

Diet Coke isn’t medicine or anything, but if you’re drinking it when you would normally be drinking a normal Coke, then you just saved yourself a couple hundred calories.

Obviously not going to make up for a 3k calorie per day diet w/ no exercise, but it is a step in the right direction.

Bosmer lore in a nutshell.

This is the best I’ve come up with: It’s Diet Meat. Just as Diet Coke is an approximation of the real thing, so too are cultivated meatballs.

I hope that wasn’t meant to be a pitch for it. Diet Coke tastes like ass.

They simply taste a bit less meaty

See that’s the disconnect - diet Coke doesn’t taste like Coke that’s less Coke-y, it tastes like Coke that had the sugar replaced with a scoop of Grandpa’s ashes and a dash of betadine.

If we’ve made the meat equivalent to diet Coke, the best course of action is to just skip that nastiness and cook up some tofu or paneer or something.

If we’ve made the meat that’s just a little less meaty, okay cool, I’ll give it a shot.

…but those two are NOT the same thing.

C’mon Z, just yell “boo!” when he’s not expecting it… his deteriorating physiology should take it from there.

…our governing hierarchy is just a long list of who’s blowing who, isn’t it?

Hypothesis: this is actually a safer way to ride due to cars seeing you as much more of a threat and therefore giving you MUCH more room than normal.
