Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • Yeah, sex and initiating sex is increasingly an awkward thing for people, so FWB's are nice to have and people love them until the one comes along.

  • Sadly, as much as it's a joke in this commentary, it is.

    We went from Lawrence King and his ring in the 80's and early 90's to Epstein in the 90's and 00's, and both were publicly and evidently connected to the highest levels of the US government. King's ring also had mysterious deaths, including the lead investigator and his son being killed in a plane crash.

  • Man, yeah.

    And it is magical. My 20's and 30's I was that guy for a few people, and it's a noble calling.

  • Oof, yeah.

    I understand why some people voted for Donald, but definitely not queer people. Donald was great for militant, nationalistic Christianity... and militant nationalistic Christianity hates the gays.

  • Punish the Democrats, she says

    Jump

  • Not at all.

    I did not vote for Donald, but if it makes you feel better to presume, go for it. It doesn't matter so you may as well find a coping mechanism.

  • I see you're determined to not give Joe Biden credit for his record.

    And that's okay. It's much easier to ignore his support for genocide than to acknowledge you voted for it.

  • For those of you with a living room or multiple rooms; do you have a TV in your bedroom? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • Yes and no.

    Occasionally I like to fall asleep to SNL or a football game in the fall, but my bedroom is also haunted and the ghost likes to turn the TV on at weird times, so I leave it unplugged the vast majority of the time.

  • So sick of seeing confidently incorrect people opining, using historical examples, when they have never before cracked open a history book and have no idea of the context.

  • It's open season for refusing AI

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's nothing particularly special IMHO. The best feature I've found in using it is that, for Microsoft products in particular, it can tell me capabilities of certain things I didn't know previously when I present it with a problem.

    Search engines used to do that before they got enshittified.

  • Really wed be at war with iran? Wed be blowing up random boats and killing people in the caribean? We would have snatched up other country leaders?

    Israel would be, and therefore, we would be too. Yes.

    We would have completely desgrpyed world trade by tarrifing every other country on the planet?

    You'll recall that Biden actually kept many of the Donald tariffs, so yes, it's likely we'd be okay with disrupting trade to some extent.

    We wpuld have all but destroyed the NATO aliance by starting said iran war and also threatening to violently invade greenland and canada?

    Not Canada or Greenland specifically, but considering Obama was at war in 7 countries when he left office (that we're able to confirm, at least. Could be many more.), and Biden was bombing several countries as well as aiding and abetting genocide and a manufactured famine in Palestine, it's hard to argue that we wouldn't be doing stupid shit militarily regardless. That's especially true given the bloodlust of Israel and the Democrats' insistence that we continue to hand them WMD's on demand.

    Do you need a prescription for this severoty of blindness

    Thank you for the suggestion. You need to stop pretending that the Democrats are meaningfully different from Republicans, especially considering the Democrats also ran a candidate with publicly-evident brain damage.

  • The closest facsimile I have in my work is occasionally running an Excel formula I've written through Copilot in order to find a formatting error or to help fix an Access query, but If fundamentally understand what I'm doing, can validate that the produced result is correct, and can fix it if I have to somewhere down the line.

    It's good you've found some simple ways to use it, but in the vast majority of work I do, it would take longer if I used AI because everything produced using an LLM has to be human-validated regardless, so I might as well not skip the important step of learning and understanding it.

    I never use it to ideate and never use it for anything that isn't eminently simple, like creating a sheet with x number of columns and rows or something like that. I hate the idea of the environmental impact and that helps me avoid it.

  • Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support

    Jump

  • Yes.

    Hate turning mine on and having to reset the input every single time because they're trying to annoy me into connecting it to wireless.

  • If you could become a character and enter any universe and that becomes your permanent life what universe would you pick?

  • Not sure, but I know which one I absolutely would not choose: Westeros.

  • Punish the Democrats, she says

    Jump

  • That's true.

    It always does, because both ruling parties exist in service to Israel. And therefore, they have no impetus to do anything but escalate.

    Had she been elected we'd be in exactly the same position.

  • Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’

  • I know schoolteachers who can't get kids to pay attention to anything for more than 60 seconds, even when it's literally written on the board in front of them. I don't like age verification either, but people are burying their heads in the sand about how harmful these applications are to developing brains, and IMHO age verification is the lesser evil.

    30% of their kids off of social media is a huge success.

  • You sound like a gun supporter in the US: "It's not perfect and is, therefore, not worth doing at all."

  • Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’

    Jump

  • Absolutely right.

    I'd love to see 30% reduction in kids being on these platforms globally. That would be a good start.

  • A 30% reduction of kids being exposed to these harmful platforms is a good thing and I'm glad to see it.

    Also, all laws are imperfect, and expecting 100% efficacy is moronic.
