Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • Two circles overlapping to become one.

  • Why is the herd mentality so common on Lemmy?

  • If it's downvotes you're concerned about, I think the fact is that bad scoring aren't hidden by default like reddit which is why unpopular downvoted takes are more visible. People feel strongly here about their opinions but I wouldn't worry too much about the amount of downvotes in general so long as it's not because you're an asshole or troll.

    Social media bubbles are present everywhere, the way the Fediverse is set up I think leads to stronger but smaller echo chambers, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing because you choose what kind of group you want to be with and which other "bubbles" you will interact with based on how aligned your values are with other bubbles. You get the choice of what things you want to debate and discuss and what you don't.

  • DHS Agents Arrest Man by Pretending to Be Stranded Motorists… A Ploy to Get The “Worst of the Worst” Who are Midwest Nice

    Jump

  • Where the fuck is the suspicion, nevermind "reasonable suspicion" behind the use of this tactic? Is helping someone with a broken car a crime, an antifa gang symbol or something to that effect?

    There isn't even the pretense of crime fighting in this clip, just a bait trap to kidnap normal, caring people.

  • Kristi Noem abruptly ends press conference when asked about CBP shooting down a party balloon forcing airport closure

    Jump

  • Confirmed this is official D-MOR intel, DHS and the Department of WAR (wimpy asshole regiments) are simply following protocol to achieve 200% OPSEC 🔥.

  • OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders

    Jump

  • Who has more money? OpenAI needs buttloads of it right about now from all the promises they have made.

  • DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors

    Jump

  • Hell, the Mexican colectivo van driver closes the sliding doors on his rattly 20 year old van simply by hard braking.

  • DHS on brink of shutdown as lawmakers leave DC without a deal

    Jump

  • Yeah, here's an opportunity for the Democrats to play "originalist" for once (DHS and subagencies didn't exist in the time of founding fathers, why do we need it now!?!?), see how Republicans react 🤪.

  • These charts show how Trump is isolating the US on the world stage

    Jump

  • Since the metric is alignment with the USA's UN votes, I think it's just that the USA is taking more abjectly insane positions. Even if a new president is more "normal" and the votes become reasonable again, I think the shift away from the USA in other measures will stay as is or continue.

  • Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims

    Jump

  • Despite Trump (or put any MAGA stooge here) asserting otherwise...

    should always be replaced with

    Despite Trump lying about it as usual...

  • Homeland Security Shutdown Draws Nearer as Democrats Block Funding

    Jump

  • That sounds like a fine state of affairs. Ms. Crispy Gnome can do spew bullshit lies for free if she wants to continue doing that.

  • Republican calls on Trump ally Howard Lutnick to quit cabinet over Epstein files

    Jump

  • It would be real nice to see him gone, at least we'd stop seeing him in Canada peddling bullshit in an official capacity.

  • Military Pressured to See ‘Melania’ Against Their Will

    Jump

  • Private, don't worry, I won't make you bomb that dinghy in the Caribbean Sea for no reason. Instead you can watch Melania and prepare me a film review report by next week.

  • Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade

    Jump

  • Every US Court should reference this opinion regardless of whether the captured Supreme Court overturns it or not, to say that the DOJ can no longer be taken at its word by default.

  • Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade

    Jump

  • It's going to take a collectively outwardly aggressive movement, in the spirit of the armed Black Panther party.

    You are emphasizing the aggressive portion of it, but I think Americans still need work on the collectively. "Get armed or get out" isn't going to get you far in building a movement. For example, if Alex Pretti was alone and not recorded by a mass of other non-violent protestors at the time of his gang murder by ICE, the propaganda that Pretti was looking to shoot them first would stick a lot longer. Gun for gun, ICE's budget for weapons per agent is a lot larger than even the most kitted out Black Panther. It's already stupid the amount of weapons they have stockpiled against peaceful protest. If violence becomes the only way to win as you believe, ICE will put out a purchase order for a few LRADs or other "less-lethal" technologies that will make it hard for organized armed resistance to hold a gun straight. And further, at the first sign the administration can muster up a flimsy excuse to do a "MOVE bombing", they certainly will.

    Elections are state level, and while the fascists and gestapos are trying over and over to take it over from the states, so far it's not working out. The MN boycott and national day of action happened last month and I don't think they are saying "mission accomplished, we don't need to do anything else" in response to 2000 of 3000 federal thugs sticking around. Various other groups are also organizing, like the supporters of Haitian refugees in Ohio, who will use these moments to organize and over the next few months become part of a national resistance network. Then there will be more options for aggressive and non-aggressive tactics.

  • European Commission Trials Matrix to Replace Microsoft Teams

    Jump

  • Oh perfect. That would be a good upstream base for other European govt projects.

  • European Commission Trials Matrix to Replace Microsoft Teams

    Jump

  • I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.

  • TIL there's a site for stick reviews.

  • Johnson says no quick House vote to end partial shutdown and blames Democrats for their ICE demands

    Jump

  • “The president is leading this,” Johnson, R-La., told “Fox News Sunday.”

    “It’s his play call to do it this way,” the speaker said, adding that the Republican president has “already conceded that he wants to turn down the volume” on federal immigration operations.

    Republican Congress leaders Johnson and Thune look like what'd you get if you impressioned a face-shaped boot tread onto a faceless head. And Johnson's comments here really shows that boot-licking is all he's got left.

  • $500 million bribe from the Abu Dhabi Royal Family to Trump uncovered.

  • The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt.

    He needs no shame either, as he has a subservient Supreme Court that is working overtime covering for him.
