Nah, they’re probably planning to do what Amazon did with their “Just Walk Out” stores… force children into mines and just claim it’s actually AI. As NFT’s, Cryptocurrency, and so many other hype tech fads have taught us: marketing is cheaper than development.

I’m having the same issue with message/reply but otherwise it’s a great app.

Meal Team Six.

It could be actual suicide as well… many GOP party adjuncts and elected officials have been receiving death threats for not falling exactly in line with even Trump’s most vaguest of whims.

It seems the way VC’s throw money at pure unadulterated hype, don’t count them out just yet. So long as you’re good at marketing, you don’t have to be good at development; you don’t have to have a good idea; you don’t have to have a product that does what you’ve promised, works or even exists… they’ll shower a literal pile of shit with money until it sparkles like a Faberge egg if you can only generate buzz.

Okay, that makes sense. Was going to ask how proprietary/locked that charger system was as it seems to be the immerging standard.

I was wondering when someone was going to create a Fediverse platform like this. Figured it would be the folks at either PixelFed or Peertube. Can’t wait to try it out!

Well, I never thought it was weird until now. My polling place is the local Jewish community center (I’m not Jewish). It’s not a synagogue or temple or anything, just like a big rec space with classrooms, a daycare, and admin offices. They have a summer camp every year and a food festival in the fall. It’s super convenient being like three blocks from my house. When I lived in a different part of town, I voted at an old folks home that I think was run by a church, but I’m not sure. There’s a public elementary school right down the street, but it’s much smaller than the community center with a lot less parking.

So… like Pornhub has done for years now?

I was wondering the other day why I hadn’t really seen them this cycle.

If a Democrat wins a statewide election in Texas that would send shockwaves through the American political norms. It’d be the Georgia 2020 Senate elections and runoffs but on steroids. Serious Republicans know that when (not if) Texas becomes a presidential election swing state it’s just about over. The Democrats could ignore Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida to focus solely on winning Texas… meanwhile a cash strapped GOP would have to fight in Texas while also spending money in all those other swing states. They haven’t had to really fight for Texas since like 1980, they might not even have the ground game infrastructure to pull it out of a tail spin if Texas goes purple. The Republican party would still be around in the Senate, House, and governor’s mansions, but hope for a Republican president would be over for like a decade at least… if the party doesn’t crumble from such an event, with donors fleeing to found new parties.

Outspoken anti-Trans bigot and Nazi platformer Kellie-Jay “Posie Parker” Keen has stated just as such on multiple occasions. She’s talked a lot about “we can’t let them trans the children,” but when you press her (hell, even when you don’t) she will admit that she doesn’t think anyone should be allowed to transition at any age. She’s also said that anyone who has transitioned should be forced to detransition. So… she doesn’t like trans people and wants to torture them… other anti-Trans activists are shocked that she attracts Nazis and really want her to go away, but she’s their ideology taken to it’s conclusion.

Boots on the ground here… GA isn’t looking good.

I don’t understand why they didn’t have Trump give it… like I’m not rooting for Trump and the GOP deserves to be in chaos, but Trump would have done an infinitly better job. Like “look at me, I’m your other choice. Here’s what I’m claiming to bring to the table.” Instead they gave us Senator Mrs. Whomever talking weird.

Normally statements denouncing Trump from a sitting elected Republican is accompanied by a retirement announcement (fears of primary challengers, etc). Now, that’s not always the case but, to my knowledge, this guy might be the first US Senator to do so.

Literally would make most police actions illegal and there’s no way Uncle Joe would sign it.

Well, over the last four years I’ve only received a 3-4% annual raise. This means that, because of inflation, I’ve seen an effective pay cut of ~10%. Meanwhile the CEO of the company I work for just bought his third condo/apartment (or whatever) overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park while full on doubling his take-home in 2022. That’d be a huge reason as to why I feel like shit Uncle Joe. Not like Trump and the Republicans would make things any better or do anything about it… they’re more on the billionaire take than the Democrats only plus the GOP apparently is just openly talking about wanting to overthrow the government. I’ll hold my nose once again to vote for a Democrat, but they’ve seriously got to pull their heads out of their asses.

For like half a second my brain thought this was a meme comparing the fictional megacorps Zorg Industries from “The Fifth Element” and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the “Alien” franchise.

Outlook is super buggy on FireFox for my phone. I found that Vivaldi has been running it fine enough though. It still fails to launch on first try from time to time, but I’ve never gotten frustrated enough to consider downloading the app.
